1819 Dec. 3
Radicalism not dangerous

Notes
II. Experience

4 II Ireland
Grattans Speech

Par. 12. [Permanent intoxication and revolutionary riot]
In these words we have the close and the quintessence of the
preceding rhodomontade. Intoxication? O yes those who
choose to have intoxication may have enough it to make
sure of the mark they need but keep to open suffrage.
with the intimidation and the bribery — bribery in the
dry shape, d bribery in the wet shape as they phrase it,
and intoxication in plenty is the well-assured consequence
Those who choose to have it, yes: but they and they only
have it that choose to have it and are determined to have it. Those
who do not choose to have it, have secrecy of suffrage
and there is no neither intoxication nor disturbance.
Intoxication? what is there to produce it? who is there who
has anything to gain by the expense. Acco

Accordingly in the United States though at all times
there is but too much intoxication yet at that one time
there is no more of it than ay any other times.

Par. 12 [Bayonets, bludgeons and whiskey elected the House &c] Supposing
suffrage open, this would indeed be a natural and
n to a vast extent a next to certain consequence. Suppose
suffrage secret, quite certainly no such state of things would
have place. As to bayonets and bludgeons Suffrage secret, what work could there possibly
be for them? where would be the mast for them to strike at?
what would be the provocation for under the spur of which
they would have to strike. Accordingly in the United States
not only buyouts but bludgeons are as much more
seen that at a Monarch's the Prince Regent's Drawing Room.

Then as to the whisky, suffrage supposed secret, who is
there to furnish it? What security could any Candidate have
that the voters whom he was at the pain and expense of intoxicating
were
were not any or all
of them his adversaries?
