1819 July 1

To Erskine
(5)

As on all occasions so in this My wish is to be understood, my Lord, as clearly as possible.
When men who have been in the secret of things behold in the one see the dæmon of
destruction ordering the business of government under a
representative democracy, it is not bad government, it is good
government they are afraid of: it is not good government, it is
bad government they wish to perpetuate: that bad government
in under which the interest of all besides is in so barbarous so largely and barbarously a manner
sacrificed to the personal interests of themselves and their
associates in tyranny.

Lett. 7. Whigs Anti Reformists
§ 5 Posit Why ?

When a man who
has been in the
secret of things pretends
to see in the
air the dæmon of
destruction ordering
the business of
government under a
representative democracy,
not bad but
good government is
he afraid of seeing
not good but bad
government be is it his
wish to perpetuate
that bad government
under which the universal
interest is
sacrificed in do of him
and his.
