1820 Apr. 9

(7) 7 § Bill of Rights abrogated

The people completely disarmed, the people are in
this disarmed state excluded inhibited from all meeting for the purpose
of complaint — the people inhibited from making known to
each other their complaints either by word of mouth or by
in writing — in addition to an arising ten times as strong
as are sufficient another army of itself sufficient to destroy
the whole people at the word of command as easily as the
people at Cadiz were destroyed — of all this the preservation
of the constitution as the final cause and the ? of the
Constitution as established by the Revolution of 1688? Alas! no:
so great that by that Revolution the constitution if classed the
matchless one established, that same constitution is now
subverted: actually subverted, as never was constituting
subverted. In the truth of things that constitution with whichever
there was good in it is actually gone; of this Revolution
with all the good fruit that belonged to it is gone: gone and upon the
news of it a counter-revolution has been effected. So compleatly
effected and with it all real Security for the what
there is good in a constitution — all real Security for the people
as against these rulers must if it ever be to argue
possessed must be acquired anew. That which remains
of the Constitution at present is but the husk: as for the kernel,
it is all rotten it is green, crusted and green.
