Radicalism not dangerous
III

3 (o) §. Democracy extended
Lord Charlemont, chosen Commander of the Volunteers in
his own County, chosen President of the Convention of those Delegates sitting
in Dublin in contiguity with the Parliament, was a Whig: he was the first
man among the Whigs of Ireland: in intimate
and correspondence with the Whigs of England. Mr
Hardy, his biographer, was his patronized friend. An his
representative in for one of his seats; Mr Grattan being
the other.
Being all of them public men, and in particular
of that class of men the Whigs to whose interest it is not safe
to openly to cast off as do the Tories all pretence of regard
for the interest of the people, for desisting in betraying the cause of the
people it was necessary to find a pretence. [+] [+] It was necessary to
them all: to Lord Charlemont
in his outings:
to Mr Grattan Hardy,
his eulogies in his
writings: to Mr Grattan
in his speeches: in
particular in that Speech
of his which we shall
see Then as
he, then as now, the substance of this posture was included in the two
words, impracticable and mischievous and impracticable.
These pretences, it is true, had both of them
been disproved: disproved by experience: by recent
experience: by an experience then which all history affords
not a single instance so as was contrary to established
prejudice and thereby so extraordinary, and yet so
compleatly probative. That The case of the Government of the United
States while it renders the Irish case detracts subtracts so much
from the extraordinariness of this Irish case, adds to its
probative force with regard to the qualities opposite unmischievousness and to
their doing by the words practicability of re parliamentary reform in its only
genuine shape, radicalism.
