Logic or Nomography or Law Amendment &c
The people should therefore to
employ and employ accordingly the of intention
or be done and suffer and peril in silence.
Proportioned to the frequency and pertinacity of the employment
given by the ruling few to the blind principle
will be on the part of the subject many the need and demand for
the application of a principle somewhat similar in – the
intimidation principle. In the blind principle may be
seen the principle by which with remarkable though as hath been seen by no
means wonderful pertinacity and perseverance the of
government in governments to the public interest has been
conducted and the hostility war against the interest of the people
carried on. In the intimidation principle and in the application
made of it may be seen the people's only recourse and instrument which the
nature of the case leaves in the hands of the people: The intimidation
on the one part no amendment – no relaxation of
the rigour of depredation and oppression on the other.
The ruling few have at their disposal the matter of corruption in
boundless masses.
