Radicalism not dangerous
10
III Experience U.S.
1. United States
1 §.3. Conclusive Offer to<lb?>receive U.S. viz Universality
or 1
Objection — State this is
not universality, nor
yet what you mean by
virtual do</note>
§.3.
Well but (it may be said) still there is not indication,
for it is not universality of suffrage: it is not what you call yourself
regard as virtually universal suffrage.
Will this be said. A question with an short answer is here as ready to in readiness
met it.
2
Answer. I will accept
this instead of virtual
universality if you
will adopt it.
will you then You by whom this observation is made
will you accede to radicality in all these particulars, on
which, in that happy country, with its happy constitution,
and that a really-existing one - a real not a factitious
entity — it has so for so great a length of time, and
with such undisputable good effect, been established? If yes
I for my part and you will on your part supposing the power to be in your hand, you are ready to
force your exertions to those of the radicalist. I on
my part, in that same supposition am ready to accept
your offer: and to accept it even with gratitude and gladness
making this one exception,
by which
one exclusion will be put
upon all those householders
who have not their a certain
primary qualification
and householder suffrage
adopted instead of
virtually universal
suffrage.
But to with such I must subjoin except his observations
1. One is that it is only for the sake of union that I can
accept it
1. One is that in this way one exclusion is put perhaps
upon a vast multitude of men, perhaps not less than
that of those admitted, and of such exclusion I do not
perceive any the smallest one. Ask me what the advantage
is from the exclusion, I for my part know of none. From
This being the votes of these Housholders even with nothing
but the of for subsistence, I for my part am
unable to find any cause of fear, any more than from
Housholders.
2. The exclusion being in my own conception unattended
with advantage in any shape, I see not in the point of those class of persons excluded any great probability
of their being satisfied content to give up these choices and then to make the
self-sacrifice when others make none, and thus give up their choices.
