Shall any
honorary distinction be
mentioned in the
Bill?
[ 1 ] [ 52 ] Page 25 §. 9. [Shall be distinguished . . . . by any . . . title . . . . or
mark of honour . . . .
To determine with propriety and success, whether any title
or other mark of honour, and if any what, shall
be annexed to this new Office, and again whether
if determined to be annexed to it, any mention
shall be made of it in the Act, and if in the Act, whether again or in the Bill
on its first presentment — all these are points, that require such an kind
acquaintance with the public pulse, as none
but those who are being seated at the source of its motions
and who are by office are in the constant habit
of feeling it, can propose be warranted in attributing to themselves. These are among the
questions in which there is not place for argument
as topics, on which all argument is out of place, and on which
feeling, and feeling alone, is competent to decide. In
the uncritical incurious temper of former times, a word,
a garter, any tr bauble would if whi stamped
by a royal hand, would serve to give currency
to a draught for honour payable to the Bearer:
of it: but under the jealous and scrutinizing
eye of the public of the present day [+] [+] the hand must
be rather a bold
one that shall
attempt to enrich
it would be a
bold hand that
should venture toit requires must
be a no inconsiderable degree of boldness to venture attempt to enrich
a bold hand to enrich the mint of honour with a new die. Unhappily the
partitions by which
the honourable is
divided from the
ridiculous grows seem to be
every day growing
thinner and more
brittle: Yet
within these few years, one of the three Kingdoms
having fortunately remained this long without an order unknighted, an
honour denominated from a Saint, real or imaginary,
of the Romish Calendar, has stood its ground borne the brunt
against the shafts of ridicule.
