Hardy 222 Ao 1782 July 16 April. The Address of his Majesty + Copy to "this power"
"stating the grievances of Ireland, and the declaration of right
"were then moved by him in answer to the King's Message
"to Parliament. The sense of the House appeared so
"unequivocal in favour of the address, that if administration
"had any intention, at the opening of the debate,
"to oppose it, and the annext resolutions, all such opposition
"was now relinquished. Colonel Fitzpatrick acted
"with his usual good sense, and the address passed unanimously.
"In fact, had Government shewed itself any
"way hostile to the address, it must have been left in
"a minority, as several of the old court had now pledged
"themselves to a support of Mr. Grattan in this instance;
"and many of that body would have joined him, not
"from the slightest regard to a declaration of right, or its
"movers, but from hatred to the administration, which
"they would have most gladly embarrassed, and indeed o
"overthrown, if in their power.
Hardy p. 235 Ao 1782 July 1 In the general contemplation + of + Copy to "his followers"
"politics there is surely something extremely disgusting.
"When we know, and perfectly understand, the motives
"of many who act in a higher political sphere, every honest
"feeling shrinks back from the ingratitude, perfidy
"and inordinate selfishness, which so often crowd on
"our attention. Yet, the person who is the object of the
"greatest popular odium, the Minister himself,
"is frequently not at all tinctured by any one of
"those bad qualities; certainly infinitely less so in general,
"than the humblest of his followers.
Hardy p.236. Altogether on whatever side we turn our eyes public
never did yet nor perhaps never will afford any permanent unannexed
satisfaction to any rational being."
