The policy of the Act is goodsound and
necessary, as far as it goes: it is the result of a
necessity not likely to be extinguished even by
the return of peace. It is a party indeed, but
in part onlyno more than a part of what is necessary to be done
in pursuance of the same principle. The
French may be the most conspicuous but they
are by no means the most for determined
nor the most formidable enemies of national
repose: the most formidable by far the most formidable enemies by far
of the enemies who by far which the country has are in her own brain. Of these
the country can not be cleared by any power
or by any industry: all that can be done, all
that can be so much as attempted - is to guard
the minds of the susceptible and thoughtless multitude against the poisons
which it is their incessant endeavour
to disseminate. Against danger of this kind
(the source of every other) the force of arms and hands
are is anavailing: to appear power orfor combating &
pens or tongues must be emply'd
pens or tpers are waepons in altogether indispensable.
- of armies ther will may be no want -
sed quis custodiet ipsos Custodus ?
