Radicalism not dangerous

III Experience
II Ireland
(1) Charlemont treachery
Grattan hypocratic

Hardy 237. A curious specimen To remove the dissatisfaction
occasioned by this tergiversation required all the address of Lord
Charlemont. In an address a letter of his dated Dublin August 11th 1782
to his friend and political Agent at Belfast Dr Haliday, a certain
specimen is given of it. By this time the grant of £50,000 public
money to Mr Grattan had been established taken effect. In the eyes of some
persons the reward was rather too liberal somewhat above the mark for a parcel of words
by which personal ambition was so highly served and no personal sacrifice
made, for taking a part which by such a multitude
of others had been taken without any reward. To obviate any dissatisfaction
from their source, amongst other things what his Lordship in this letter undertakes
for is to prove the existence of that which d in its own
nature is physically impossible. Without a mans own consent To money out of a mans purse
against its his consent is possible enough: but without his consent
to put money in it (need it be said) is physically impossible. The fact that Mr
Grattan protected the money was too notorious to be denied. But that
it was against his consent is most furiously asserted. This conduct p. 237
in question i.e. the declin th refusing the money and taking
it at the same time taking it "will probably" (says his Lordship) be
continued into hypocrisy. Yes — but by whom?? By some who look
only into themselves for information concerning human nature. Here we
see one of the standing artifices. [Opposition is to be created by the
fear of infamy men are to be deterred from representing impossibilities
as being what they are. Not only are Mr the aversions of Mr Grattan
himself inseparable inexorable but that of his friends, all his friends — likewise! p 232
"As it was found impossible to defeat the design, all his
friends and I amongst among others, were employed to lessen the time: i.e.
from the £100,000 first proposed to the £50,000 received. Why
lessen it? Lest the extravagance of the £100,000, should prevent
the £50,000 from coming into the pocket into which in spite of the
resistance
resistance to the oppression
it was found
