That security pro
parliamentary emancipation
was equally
such for commercial
do Irish In keeping
out the recurrence
of commercial servitude
interests of Irish aristocracy
and Irish
people concurrent.

And with By the independency thus given to its own legislature Parliament
a security not much inferior had thereby at the
same time been given for the perpetuation to the democratic interest of that relief
which consisted in the removal of the restraints to the pr
of such of the restraints on trade and industry as had
had for their object the exclusive benefit of the dominating nation:
for there could be little scarcely could there remain/be any/a ground for the apprehension that
the aristocracy would ever concur in the restoration of
any part of that oppression in which/by means of by which even in respect of their individual
interests even individually taken they could not but be more
or less but have been be in a more greater or less degree fellow
sufferers in common with the body of the people.

These points excepted
the people were more
likely to be sufferers
from the change than
gainers.

1 As to Catholic emancipation.
To the Protestants, the
Catholics, therein their
number, saw the
power of their nearest
oppressors encreased
by the change.

But with these exceptions, as to all other points, the
so it appeared to many of the most discerning eyes in the
Irish nation, instead of being so far from/receiving gainers benefitted the interest of gainers the b great body
of the people was seemed more likely to sustain injury to the
interest of the great body of the people injury rather than benefit seemed was
the more natural and probable result of the change.
Setting aside as above the article of trade to at least three fourths of the
nation the change revolution great as it was was afforded no better promise promise of no better change than the In I
proverbial one from the frying pan into the fire. If by the British
nation taken in the aggregate oppression had been exercised over
the Irish nation taken in the aggregate, in Ireland another system
of oppression — and that a much more grinding afflictive and
galling merciless/ one had been exercised by the Protestant part of
the community over the Catholic: Where the alternative Suppose the choice to be [.] Pain being equ in the
two cases equal
lies between oppressor and opposer oppression and opposition, oppression at the hands
of an present oppressor who is ever in sight and as it were in contact is on sv several accounts
more effective than at the hands of an oppression at a distance.
