Radicalism not dangerous
III Experience
II Ireland
(7) Charlemont treachery
Conclusion
That he will oppose every thing good and bad that it
seems to him to oppose will in probability of advantageous
effect may be very low: that under any such prospect like [+] and that tis evil as
long as the party he belongs
to continues out of place,
strength of the opposition will be the rate not of the supposed
badness but of the supposed goodness of the means, would
be highly probable, that he wil with security and zeal he will
forever in any the support of any plea of [radical] reform by
which his seat would be taken from under him is his choice for
any official situation lot of many in power suitable to his existing situation taken
away or materially lessened will ought in every instance, by him
also his possible or proper degree of reflection to such materials
in the listing of the terms afforded, be also in a higher degree improbable
Let it be supposed, that, with a given degree of efficiency
and perseverance a man by open opposition — to all reform —
or by support given to sham reform, a man counteracts the
only efficient and beneficial mode of reform, whether as in
doing he does or does not regard himself as persuading the labouring in support of
universal interest is a point not scarcely/little worth regarding. to the
not that it is altogether immaterial. For if in addition in so far as
to his own personal or party interest he regards himself as
by this means rendering service to the universal interest
the more sincere and strenuous he is in this particular, the
more strenuous will he be in his endeavours to accomplish
this sinister object. In proportion as this is Proportional his own affects
to the strength of the persuasion which in relation to this point
he himself feels will be that of the expectation he will entertain
of experiencing the support and good opinion and affection of
other men in relation to whom his opinion is favourable. In a
word
word where he is engaged
in a bad cause
the mischief which an upright man does
is likely to be great in
proportion to the strenuousness
of his integrity.
in proportion to the strength of which in this case is called principle.
