Proof of the

the state of things actually accomplished in Ireland at the time
in question, namely democratic ascendency, and the
state of things proposed are to be established in Great
Britain and Ireland under that same name.

thought the states
of things are not exactly
the same, they
are so as to off
the main point in
question viz. undangerousness
of democratic
ascendency

The cases are not exactly the same. In matters of government In the nature
of things it is impossible that any two things should now be
so. But whatsoever difference there is, will be seen to be will be seen to be in
favour of the thing to be proved — the undangerousness of radical
reform in this country the whole kingdom United Kingdom at this time.

According to radicalism
as proposed,
An ascendency would
be established quickly
and by law. Confliction
in decay
remedy, but in
such long continued oppression
as then and there.

According Under to radicalism as proposed the democratical
ascendency would be established quietly and be the according
operation of to law. In the Constitution state of Government indeed a sense of decay
requiring a remedy, but no long continued and inveterate
cause of dissatisfaction — no sense of inveterate oppression exercised
far ago by the inhabitants of our island over those
of a neighbouring one.

Yet under that oppression,
without producing
preponderant evil or
considerable evil did
democratic ascendency
common and continued
and in part reason the
oppression Government hostile;
yet vengeance nows
no relief
but by government hands
democratic government none

Only <sic>do ascendency and through influence.

Yet it was under the present sense of this oppression, that
for the purpose of relief democratical ascendency will be
soon established in Ireland, without producing preponderant evil in any shape not less and having place for about
than five years: the oppression in consequence in part removed
and no ill injurious use made of the power acquired and so
long possessed by the body of the people: in particular no
vengeance exercised as the oppressors. The Monarch
and his servants all the time regarding with a mixture of
hatred and fear and hatred which was done and for a great
part of the time, doing all that it could for the purpose of stopping
it, and regaining
the ascendency. This
a matter of notoriety:
yet no hostility against
the Government exercised.
Whatever for the in the way of relief was done, the constituted authorities the Constituted authorities and their ala alarm employed in doing it.
Democracy
Democratic government, none
Democratic ascendency only
neither more nor less
