Radicalism not dangerous

Now mind the chance which a question that has
so compleatly under the dominance of pursuit in party
interest, remains to honest reason. A phrase lingers
in the air — a phrase void of all determinate meaning is
bandied from mouth to mouth and given passed off in the character
of a conclusi reason a conclusive reason in which
without any thing more, evidence may and
ought to be grounded. This phrase is examined, and
shewn to be what it is: it is proved to be demonstrable that
they who profess to act on the ground of that phrase act without
reason in the of reason and against their own
conviction. Well, of such a demonstration what is the
fruit? The work in which a demonstration of this sort
is given instead of producing any effect is avoided as
if a man would be poisoned by the touch of it.
Noticed it is: taken of it and with anxiety and dismay. But neither
such nor any other notice is confessed to be taken of it: the
consequence produced by it is the more cogent and
useable the demonstration the stronger is the necessity still
of saying nothing of it — of dealing by it as if no such
work were in existence and in preserving with redoubled
alacrity in the utterance of the and as above
disgraced and exploded phrase

☞ Quere whether to instance Curwens Northumberland speech 13 Oct. 1819?
