Radicalism not dangerous

§.4
III Experience
II Ireland

(11) Charlemont treachery

Hardy p.274 After a long talk of about what the Convention
might perhaps have wished to do then commenc comes a paragraph
which commences with saying "That Conventions may
"be necessary, no one but a slave can deny." Supposing a
Convention then necessary — what is the sort of conjunction at which he it
would according to him be desirable? At some conjunction, at
which its existence would be impossible. For the only sort of conjunction
at which in the nature of the case it could be possible is this
conjuncture at which his abhor delight joy at seeing it
reduced to willingness is declared.] [No: nor need a the slave
himself give be himself any such trouble. Admitting the possibility
let in all cases, let him like Mr Hardy be prepared
to deny the fact in each case, he may without prejudice
to his sincerity maintain his himself in condition of a slave]
No nor and he: be him let him but to take follow example by Mr Hardy:
let him admitt the in all cases the necessity possibility of the necessity
being in each case the existence of it.

Hardy p.275. "Let them never be brought together, if the
"general sentiment does not, beyond all contradiction, loudly, yet p.275
"gravely, and not infrequently, proclaim, that the existence of
"the nature itself demands their interference." i.e. people are
not to call for endeavours at liberty but when they enjoy it already in perfection.
Let a set of men a call for a Convention, for example, at present,
and so then see how long they will remain unsabred and unhinged.
