Among the propositions demonstrated in this
address is this to wit that to the people of Country to which it
belongs a distant dependency is in every instance a
source of net loss. This being supposed then immediately
comes the question, to whom then is it a gain? For
if it were not a gain, or at least thought to be a gain to
somebody no such dependency would there ever be. The
answer will not be long to seak. To the ruling if One in the
Country there be such a one; and whether there be or nr
to the ruling few. In these days, sinister interest with
its offspring interest begotten prejudice have succeeded
in spreading over this question such a cloud of delusive
images that not only in the language, but in the
real belief of many — probably even of most men such
dependencies are if not in every instance, in most instances or
at any rate in some instances, even to the subject many,
a source or net profit. Not so in the days of Queen
Elizabeth. Fearless in mind firm in Situation, that Matchless
Tyrant in petticoats scrupled not, to speak on this
subject without disguise: Her penetrating eyes beheld the
subject in its true colours; her dauntless heart disdained
to spread each over there a false varnish. By acquisition of
distant other dominions dependencies said she I could have served myself;
but by any such means I should have heard you. Self gratification
I have forlorn: behold in this forbearance behold
the clearest proof I could have given you of my love++ Townsend
