Feasible scheme
Attempt for obviating
the more lasting danger
Crown Commissions
offered to Aristocrats
to serve as Officers
and raise Privates.
Fruitless: Ready to
receive the commissions
and serve as Officers
enough: few to serve under
or Br them as privates
the desire to serve under
Officers chosen by them
rather than chosen
by themselves: or under
martial law.

Result, shame and
weakness to the contrary
exultation and strength
to Volunteers.

While the danger from without was still urgent growing
every day more and more urgent, an attempt was made
to provide against the interior and more lasting one.
But by this attempt to provide avert against it the instant
danger was but encreased. For the purpose of bringing
to Volunteers regularly under the command of the Constituted
authorities, Commissions for the Crown were offered to men
of note in the country — to members of the local aristocracy
and hands ready enough to accept them were not wanting for the acceptance of
them. But the purpose was too obvious manifest of such Commanders
were not wanting; there was no want but such Volunteers could not be found: and
men were wanting to such Commanders. Freely men would
ser serve but under wh those in whom they had confidence
those Monarchists and Aristocrats were not wanting to subject the people to martial
law, with the irresistible and remediless servitude that belongs
to it: but hands were not so ready to receive as
to make offer of such few would serve under
Officers Commanders appointed by the Monarch: every day more and
more ever ready to serve and did serve under Commanders
chosen by themselves in concurrence with men pursuing
the same objects and partaking in the same affections.
Shame and encreased weakness was the result on the part of the
Constituted authorities: all those ruling few exultation and encrease of strength
on the part of the people subject many
