Radicalism not dangerous

III Experience
II Ireland
(4) Plowden blind to Charlemont

To those to whom the impossibility of any voluntary sacrifice
of power in the instance of any body of political men not
rendered sufficiently apparent by the consideration of the universal
constitution of human nature, this case of Lord Charlemont
is the more particularly instructive, by the particular individual evidence
it affords of the same truth. In the view they here have of the
interest of Lord Claremont, they may be assured that they have a view
sufficiently correct of not only of all Tories but of all Whigs
present, past, and future, and in particular if there be any
need of distinction, of the God of Whig idolatry Charles Fox
Charles To the Whigs of Ireland, Lord Charlemont was
Charles Fox was the head of the Whigs of Britain, Lord Charlemont
was at the head of the Whigs of Ireland. Each of them
in this arm Ireland the more distinguished and accomplished
in all particulars taken together the most amiable and most
extensively and best-beloved gentlemen of his time. But as
in the nature of all other political men so in theirs, to look
for a grain of sincerity to the prejudice of the love their hope of power
would be to look for a hand, as says the proverb, in a bulrush.
