Radicalism not dangerous
III Experience
II Ireland
(2) Hardy against reform
A military reform: true a reform brought about by
the influence of the military. But by what military?
By a military under the absolute command of a Monarch
or the independent command of their own leaders? No:
but the people freely associated from all ranks without
distinction a fair sample of the universal suffrage-men
from the all over the country: in a word the very body
of men in favour of alien conduct we have seen been seeing from
his own pen such unqualified and as far as appears there seems no reason to doubt
heartfelt, the very body of men by whom so much good
had been done and not the least pocket of mischief evil in
any shape. These men the military indeed! Oh what
a sad abuse of words! Oh what a transparent fallacy
So long as the business they were doing was more the business
of the ruling few than that of the many then they were the
people and every thing that was admirable: no sooner did
they proceed to do that which though beneficial to the business of both was
more so to the subject many than the to the ruling few [+] and this by exactly
the same means
then they were to be characterized by a word employed
to represent them as instruments of despotism.
