Radicalism not dangerous
II. Experience
II Ireland
(1) After Grattans Speech
Now of all this the mass of of this mass of elaborated
eloquence what was the object? [To prevent confusion to
prevent destruction of property? to save property and so forth
from destruction? Not it indeed. No: but simply this What then? No: but to To prevent
a true representation of the people from taking place of that
sham representation, to which he was indebted for the
power he possessed, and the property which had been
that part large portion of the poor peoples property which for following
the current of his own interests and passions
a simple speech which cost him nothing a former packet/torrent of tinsel that had cost him as little as that which we have seen —
Yes £50,000 in the
lump had been
bestowed upon him with so lavish a hand.
[No:] it was not against parliamentary reform in that shape
that this torrent of tinsel was directed: it was against
parliamentary reform in any every efficient shape: in every
shape in which the sinister interest in which he had
so large a share, was would have been disadvantageously affected.
It not against secrecy, universality, equality and
normality of suffrage merely; but against secrecy of suffrage
with householder suffrage, practical equality of suffrage and
of suffrage. That Whatever from virtual universality
of suffrage any such danger eventual mischief as he po in possession
he apprehended was apprehensive of would have caused, it is
not for the present purpose necessary to enquire. But
suppose the apprehension really entertained and well
grounded, what was the result? Only that householders
suffrage, or suffrage with restricted by the exaction
of a small proprietary qualification say for instance
40s a year in any shape should have been substituted
to virtually universal suffrage.
