VII Expenses — The French tyrants if they had no justification had at least
self preservation for an excuse . The Englishman , who I suppose
is not to be called a tyrant — the Englishman , then , and

the distruction of law and justice — this audacity — the offspring
of pusillammity covers itself with the mask of respect and
gratitude . —
But would you then have had these living nuisances
turned loose again to prey upon the community — upon a
community from which they had so justly and so necessarily
been expelled ? — Corrupted , as you yourself alledge — corrupted

have reformed them — would you have the Country receive
a second time all poison into her bosom ? — After all
this outcry about illegality , and perfidy and oppression - is
