Long's making a unit
of every step he took,
though it only to
take back worse - Saying
he was not obliged

Power Perfectly despotic the
very suppression in which
the conduct can be justified

Long pretended often

Yet when Dundas

Memorial

Character of Despotism
1. Eluding responsibility
2.Turning aside from
arguments - having passion
Inciting lights 3. Turning aside from the
authority of Parliament.

Not the less dangerous
to authority of Parliament
because only to gain
a particular prize

No one would be so mad
as to plan a general
- especially with such looks
as Long &c

When these facts are
made public, if Parliament
does not
take note of them
Ministers will have a

Parliament at wrongful

Despotism
and
Anarchy

1.
Despotism
acceptations
of the word -
exercise of will on
the part of men in
power.


2
2. Exercise of will in
wrong measures.

In Grand's of terms

3.
Conduct truly despotic
is that which
contrives to
itself from responsibility.

4
The effect of a long
course of despotism
is to obliterate the
distinction between
the ideas of right
& wrong in the
despots mind - his
will being regarded
as the rule of right.


5.
Instance in the
case of Long The

acts of treachery -
suppression of documents -
secret tampering
with subordinates

and connivances
at their
disobedience - being
done in the execution
of the will of the

conspiracy composed
of men in power
seemed not wrong
to him because
not punishable.

Anarchy
The Solicitor inc
Subordinate of the Board
encouraged to continue
the authority of the
Board to match that that the
Chief of the Board will and
the Secretary of State
to contravene the authority
of Parliament.

Despotism

- especially as the
Act which he was
annulling to please
administration was
originally but the
will of Administration.

7
So in the case of
King & the Duke - the
idea of impunity
was confounded in
their minds with
the idea of right.

8.
The Duke understood
that it was wrong
not to pay his Taylor
because Ld
Kenyon had compelled
him - but
Ld Kenyon could not
compel him to recede
from the conspiracy
against the Penitentiary
House.

9.
The more compleatly
the distinction between
right & wrong
in Administration
has been obliterated
by habitual guilt
the more necessary
it is that it should
be restored by punishment.
