The policy of the Alien Act is goodsound and
necessary, as far as it goes: it is the result of a
necessity not likely to be extinguished even by
the return of peace. It is a part, indeed, but
in part onlyno more than a part of what is necessary to be done
in pursuance of the same principle. The
French may be the most conspicuous but they
are by no means the most for determined
nor the most formidable enemies of national
repose: the most formidable by far the most formidable enemies by far
of the countryenemies who by far which the country has are in her own bosom. Of these
the country can not be cleared by any power
or by any industry: all that can be done, all
that can be so much as attempted - is to guard
the minds of the susceptible and thoughtless multitude against the poisons
which it is their incessant endeavour
to disseminate. Against danger of this kind
(the source of every other) the force of arms and hands
are is anavailing: to oppose combat power orfor combating &
pens or tongues must be emply'd Just to species specious must be opposed.
pens or tongues are weapons in altogether indispensable.
- of armies ther will may be no want -
sed quis custodiet ipsos Custodus ? A few good
able pens this Employd with the advantage
here proposed - furnished with an all-pervading
vehicle and inimitable vehicle for their productions
- a few good able pens - a few of those
very pens which for want of that advantage are
labouring with one a degree of effect altogether
inadequate - might save more than as many
regiments.
