New Wales Right wanting
One questions there is which goes at once goes
to the the root of all enterprises projects of discovery and
improvement, of all works of mere ornament not absolute necessary
in as far as they are carried on with public
money, and that is with the trustees of the
people have any right to make any such use
of the money of the people? — My notion
has I must confess on the negative side.
Is not this laying
out upon the
ruffles money
given to buy shirts
In using in this way the word right
I mean nothing less than to open a metaphysical
battery under persons of the clouds
in which that word stands involved in many an
apprehension — In speaking of the Government
of this country I am speaking of those who
as far as legal right goes have a right to do
with as and our money as they please. But
morally speaking have they a right to to keep
clear of all objection is it right on their parts
to convert our money to this use? The affirmative side.
In this plan, let it be observed, I am considering
the business merely as a business of colonization at
large: considered as a mode of disposing of convicts
it will be considered afterwards.
