Radicalism not dangerous.
III. Experience
II. Ireland
Conclusion
J.B.'s anticipation confirmed
Power, rank, opulence, expectation for Interests, probity — these quali
are the qualifications inducements which in their capacity of Electors
the people at large have been accustomed to look for
in the objects of their choice. Thus it has been hitherto
in all places and at all times. Judging from all the
observation I had ever made, and from all the history I had
ever read these, on a former occasion I had ventured
to predict would be the endowments by which the or under
democratic ascendency the opinion of the people
would for ever continue to be guided. A few examples
were on that occasion referred to: those of Ireland
wa had not at that time been adverted to: the extensiveness
of the scale on which that case the principle
had bee had its operation would have put thereon
the English cases in the back ground.
This one fact — a fact undenied and undeniable —
this one fact if rightly considered might of
itself suffice to prove the groundlessness of these fears
or pretended fears by which the subversion of the rights
of property is represented as being among the consequences
of democratic ascendency, as proposed. The
Men of opulence would not concurr in stripping themselves
of their opulence: men of rank would not
concurr ever in stripping themselves of their rank: though
rank is resonant of natural bourbonism and an instrument
of modern corruption might be reduced to its primitive
nothingness without the smallest prejudice or danger to opulence. Witness
the
the Anglo-American
United States.
