"has, in too many instances, for a while withstood the
"wishes of the people, but has yielded in the end; the consequence
"is, that the people are told by the demagogue, persevere,
"and you will at last carry your point. But this
"is the time to draw a line, and I do rely upon it. I pledge
"myself for the consequence, that if parliament act with
"firmness, the people will be content; in a short time
"they will despise the promoters of faction, and all their
"boasted menaces will vanish in the air. But if Parliament
"recede one step new, it will fall into a gulph
"of inevitable destruction."
