Radicalism not dangerous
III Experience
II Ireland
(3) (2)
I do not say Mr Pitt recommended it, therefore this course, therefore it is a right one. Mr earl Grey recommended it, therefore it is a right one.
This I do not say. But this I do say — that if there is consistency in
either, such recommendations will serve the proposal from all , at the hands of both parties —
as a not only of
Whigs only but of Tories.
or 12 or 5
I say If it depended upon me? But alas!
it depends up If it depended, did I say? Alas! as every body sees but too
plainly, it depends not now upon any body. There
are two few The disease is too far gone to admitt
of any gentle remedy. There can not now be any such
bloodless, tranquil, completely innoxious change.
Never, while man is man, not never by any government
will any considerable willing sacrifice <del.to of power
be made. Not to those rulers were the people of Ireland
indebted for the relief which they] / these obtained. [of the concourse
opposition under which they .] Not to the government,
but to the enemy and themselves. It was
from to the Bourbons they received that boon which they
never would have received from the . [+] <note>[+] Never more will it
return — that happyconjunctive combination
if circumstances
under which Ireland
obtained that first
relief from oppression relaxation
which has since been
followed by a so strange a
mixture of [others] relaxation
and [other]
oppression in other
shapes.</note> From
external enemies there is now the people have now no hope. P/del> Against internal
enemies there is now they have now no recourse. , Bourbons,
all the other European Monarchies, with or without concert
are now in a confederacy against all that is good in
government against the people whom they hold in chains.
Whatever security the people ever had there has ever been against oppression
and depredation from above — against misrule in any
shape, is now gone. Every thing At home or abroad
every thing that operation can in any way as a check upon present
and pressing despotism has its use. The Stuarts — So
long as they were Pretenders — even the Stuarts had their use. So long as
the were foreigners, and a descendent of the Stuart
Kings was at hand, the Whigs with their were kept in
check, and Tories moved for for giving annuality to Elections (a)
