On Grattans Speech

As far as the future contingent can be contrary to the
past, can anything be more contrary to what for more
than five years together he had been witnessing and rejoicing over and exulting
in, than this destruction which he was so sure of? we have been seeing here
Upon the authority of this Orator of this with his string of epigrams
that I am to believe for example, that I want is — to
come in for a share of his and every body elses estate.
Of yes, if I could get any thing by it: but But what
it is I should get by it, this I hope has been sufficiently
seen. — Oh no it is not you we incur: but these others
you are sitting on, and writing for. . . Well and what could is it that they
they get by it? . . This also has been seen: that destruction,
which for the purpose of the argument, which every body
has been assumed, and must be assumed, to be so fond of

Still, to the authors believers in the universal destructionproperty subversion
plot — still to the authors of the speech from the
throne, not forgetting the utterers of it — Whigs as well
as Tories still to all these professors men of potical political
faith, for the sake of hope, and in despite of charity
presents itself this dilemma. Do you Believe what you say? then
where is your understanding? do you not believe it? then
where is your honesty?
