(14) (2) Charlemont treachery

That in the strictest of the term the part acted by Lord
Charlemont and his Whig Associates to the Volunteers was a treacherous
one, is uncontrovertibly that on that account it could
not but have been a publicly mischievous dishonest and dishonourable
one is just discernment and evidence will concur in forbidding us/forbid us
permit admit us to pronounce But in expressing no compact f can
of itself form a sufficient ground for the wilful production
of preponderant mischief of that a mischief which in the eyes of the person
who is to act is clearly preponderant over the good. But even in this
case the compact should not be have been violated, unless the
result could not by any other means have been prevented. The
situation should have been given up, not retained under
pretence of giving effect to the compact when a determinating
public take to counteract it. To justify the substituting a
breech of the trust to the surrender of it, not only evil but in preponderance
of evil in the opposite case should it least have
been shewn to be probable. But towards any such demonstration
not any the least attempt is made. All that is due
is the an insinuation to this effect. But the insinuation is not
only in itself obsc obser obscure but given in the very teeth
of all the experience that the nature of the case afforded:
of experience not as merely confessed but loudly exultingly
proclaimed by the writer himself. In one place indeed
something of a determinate morduc shape is given to the
mischief evil which imagination acting in contradiction to
all experience had presented to his view. And of this possible evil what
is the highest and greatest lot? the extinction of the class or a part of the class of
sinecures called Irish Bishopricks.
