Radicalism not dangerous
III. Experience
II. Ireland
(2) §.3. Corruption general
seat
It is in the very nature of man and man will has been
or will be out of it — that the more power he has, the more
violently outrageously he will be disposed to abuse it. Not a Statesman
perhaps who on some occasion or other did not bear give
the testimony of his confession to this truth. Yet among them all
more scarce will you find the man who will be subscribe to or
so much as endure the inaction of the immediate practical
inference: namely have in the hands of every man the
smallest quantity poss possible that can be left in them consistently with security public
and private with security for existing property — property in
vested expectancy included.
[+] the more power in
what change or by what
means he can possess
office — factitious dignity
or opulence
When the people being a force are upon the look out for
it a disposition to surrender borough- influence
is professed by multitudes. In how many instances
secured? [Ask Hardy] — in not so much as an one single one.
