+ Resolutions of the people, making in bodies and acting in
the prudence of the House. This, as every body knows
was the plan of operation recommended by the now Earl Grey, then
Mr. Grey M.P. in 1794. From what has been just
brought to view, whatever may remain in the shade,
may now receive sufficient illustration its explanation, but more than
eleven years before had the aura of democratic ascendency
With the Earl of
Charlemont they had
all along been in
instant connection
as the correspondence
published in this
best of Mr Hardy
shews
terminated as above in Ireland. Fresh and strong was
the recollection of it in the minds of himself and all the
other Whig leaders associated under the stile and lable
of Friends of the people. What then was that which they
recommended to be done? Exactly what they had all
seen done in Ireland. Arms were not mentioned,
for to what good purpose were they mentioned. In these days
the matter the right of arming, as if arming as if making in
bodies of any number was questioned. Arming for self
defence was then mentioned even by Blackstone, arming
and without hesitation in any shape, in that are the number of
an Englishman's undisputed and indispensable rights.
Of arms no express mention,
no need of it. arming
for self defence was
per Blackstone among
peoples rights.

Thus are shewn
Grey and Co's proposed
measures means.
So there could: mounting
into power by on
shoulders of people
as on a ladder: then
kicking down the ladder,
leaving the people with
no other than a change
of tyrants
Such then were the measures which it was in their intention
to pursue, and which they accordingly recommended.
Those measures being the means to some end, what
then was that end? Nothing as to this point, does the history
of the time have as at a loss. as above brought to view On the shoulders of the
people, as on a ladder in England as in Ireland they hoped to climb into
parts: that summit attained, in England as in Ireland
they meant to crush the people to pour down upon the
people to press down the people with the weight of their this
power, leaving the people under the same tyranny with
no other change than a change of tyrants.
