In the July Speech a set of are alluded
to be the description of Those whose projects, if successful
(says the July Speech,) "could only aggravate the evils which it is professed to
"remedy: and who, on pretence of reform, have really
"no other object than the subversion of out happy
"Constitution. The To those persons in whom "machinations"
are imputed, and these machinations , that Lords and Gentleman are immediately called upon,
" in co-operation with
"the Magistrate"-
"to use" their "utmost
"endeavours" to defeat"
"on return to" their
"several Countries" to
defeat."]
That the person here glanced at were the radicalists,
will not I suppose it is believed, be disputed. But " "under the
"pretence of reform, have really have no other object" &c? by
this what is it that is meant?
Two meaning and but two can be conceived
1. One is that though

character, no means nothing is as yet called upon to be done

OnHere, as yet , on neither the rad reform itself no imputation is cast
neither in the radical shape nor in any other , is
any determinate direct imputation directly cast. It is only on
pretence of reform that the machinations are alledged
to have been carried on

Not said but intimated
by radicalism, of the machinations
are if successful,
the subversion will be
produced: the objecct
is - this
to be believed
Is it than that by radical reform supposing
the "machinations" in question "successful" the "subversion"
in practice would be produced? This is not directly
said, But this is what is at any rate insinuated intimated in and it is for in the
view of ing every body to believe it, that this phrase language is employed in is said
For the object at is th declared to be "aimed at, is "the subversion "subversion of our
happy Constitution.
Of the evil mischief in
question the alledged
cause thing can
not therefore but be a
design, by which
the Constitution would be affected: and that by parliamentary reform in any shape the Constitution would in a certain way be effected
can not be denied: and this was the only design in fact by which any such effect could be produced. By depredation and violent destruction of property let evil mischiel [+] [+] it was so vast an amount
have been produced, the
Constitution would remain untouched.|
