Radicalism not dangerous

III Experience

After Grattans Speech

Par.(a) [Frenzy, folly and wickedness] Essences Words/Traitts of despair
at the thoughts of the product of distress for lack of argument.

[landholders . . . &c … would not be represented at all] The
English of this is . . either that no man who has not a majority
of the votes has any vote at all; and this is in the plain and
direct meaning: or else it is the old begging of the question the alledged destruction of property
again reported though brought upon the carpet again, though
in a sort of disguise — here being represented they would not
be protected: not being protected they would see their property torn
out of their hands.

Par 7. twas both Catholic and Protestant by a new set of
voters] a new act? what? neither Catholic nor Protestant?
what then are they . . those who solely on account of
inability, to pay the army would stand stood excused? Why
are they? Mahomedans? or Jews?

[ ] The case in the same elaborate hard labours nothingness
and again and again the original fallacy served up in an again and
again variety of forms, broiled stewed, pastred up baked curried and
fricasee'd

Par 7. [ riot] Of yes, if without secrecy of suffrage,
riot there would be in abundance. But the riot belongs not to the
nucleus of the case. It is of the Oratory as masking for the purpose of his argument.

[+] Suppose The indigent majority suppose them capable of
being all made rich by the plunder of the small minority of the
rich let them be best supposed, then indeed the supposed infallible
ensuing new division of property might reasonably enough be expected to
be projected; and in case of success in the war to take place. But
by
by the very statement of
such a supposition the
absurdity of it is exposed.
Therefore the
majority of the people
possess no such special
and sinister interest,
But if they have no such special and sinister interest they have in all other respects and thus in all respects the same interest as the opulent and
ruling few: whereas unfortunately the opulent and ruling few are not take the impatient many unprovided by with such separate and sinister interest []
[+]they have an interest in preying upon
the meddling and lower classes and this is
what by the smallness of their number and []
[+]the magnitude of their
power they are enabled to
do without any such []
[] encrease of property
as would account in a
destruction of it.
