Radicalism not dangerous
III. Experience
II. Ireland
(4) Hardy against reform
Hardy 279
Decided however as he is against reform at a time when
and by means by which reform could have been obtained,
yet whenever at any time at which it can not be obtained
was by any means by which it can not be obtained, he is
no less decided in favour of it. "But if" (continues he p.279)
the timid acquiescence of the House + in the decrees of the
Convention, had then established a precedent for submission,
and left to the Commons neither name nor authority
of any sort, however we might for ever deplore its imbecility,
we can not, on the other hand, applaud its almost continued
resistance, during a variety of subsequent and
tranquil periods, to the question of reform, when urged
as constitutionally as ably. That reform required indeed
all the aid which it the wisest, and best senators could
give to it; and had it been calmly, judiciously , and
timely adopted, though it could not have averted every
evil from this kingdom, the measure of our misfortunes
would, in all probability, have been much
less, and our legislature remained unterrified,
and unimpaired.
Note
( ) At that same time exactly so was it with Charles Fox,
as in a Note on the same page Mr Hardy himself informs us
and Charles Fox besides being a Member of that Aristocracy of
which he was so bright an ornament had th at that time the additional
reason of being Minister. "In his order for a parliamentary
reform he "(of course) "yielded to none of the Convention: but
president it
rules no change
in the state of their
interest
