Of Antiradicalists
the attachment to English
institutions is confined
to the bad ones. The Bad
and the good — a distinction
against as to which all their
pens and tongues are
immoveable: against
which all eyes and
tongues ears are as fast
closed by them as
possible.

Those whose apprehensions of the subversion of matchless
Constitution with its English institutions are so somehow above those whose attachment to it is
so fixed — in what where do they behold see the cause of that attac
these apprehensions — of that attachment? In
the good parts of these P same institutions? Oh no: in the that same Constitution? Not they indeed, but
bad parts and more also: [+] [+] in those bad parts
which belong in common
to English mixt-Monarchy
and pure
Continental despotism. in those which are sabs subservient most
subservient to the interests of the subject many to the
universal interest? No: but to those which are exclusively
subservient to that which is/stands in every part opposite to it — the interest of the ruling few.

Behold for that distinction — that opposition which should
never be out of mind: that distinction which they have never
brought to view: that which they can distinction the opposition
which they are unable to contest — which they can not
endure to look at against which that distinctive opposition in denial of which
they never have been, never will be, able to move pen
or tongue — against which they on every occasion they
keep both eyes and ears as fast closed as possible

In Ireland, alas! there was no such subversion. The Constitution,
after a short lived intervention purification, returned to its original
mixture: to its original foulness. What were the consequences? Few and many We shall see. For
five years, a golden age: as they resumed their station, and with encrease.
democracy in the
ascendant, a golden
age: at the end of
that period
