Radicalism not dangerous

III Experience
II Ireland

(7) Sheffield against Reform

But this theory of his Lordships. concerning what ought to be let it not be said that it
risks hanging in the air: it has its basis in another matters
theory concerning as to matters of fact: the understand always his Lordships
imagination concerning what would be fact matter of fact: to
that being in imagination certain what in nature is
impossible. For here we are introduced to our old acquaintance
the "subversion of the rights of property". in the throne Prince Regent's language
the "subversion of the rights of property" in his Lordships
language "no Agrarian law, or any levelling principle p. 368
whatever. "The author" says continues his lordship . . . . [thinks it
sufficient at present to muse about things as they are,
and] will content himself with observing that the argument
or sentiment equally goes to an Agrarian law, or any
principle whatever: it establishes confusion, in the place
"of order". No my good Lord: begging your Lordships pardon,
it goes to no such thing: it goes to the preservation of property
not to the destination of it. It goes to the preservation of property
use as property is preserved in the United States: it goes to the
preservation of property not only against depredation upon a
small scale as in against the case of pickpockets, highwaymen
and housebreakers, but against depredation upon the largest
scale, as against some small holders of useless places needless places
overpaid places, and makers of wine and conquerors of distant
dependencies for the sake of honor and glory power and glory
might majesty and dominion; and including the patronage and possessors in patronage of these
same however useless places needless places and overpaid since it
places and establishers of standing armies for fixing the people
to exist while it exhorted for them to conspire the enrolment of them
