Hardy 237. A curious specimen To remove the dissatisfaction
occasioned by this tergiversation required all the address of Lord
Charlemont. In an address a letter of his dated Dublin August 11th 1782
to his friend and political Agent at Belfast Ld Haliday, a certain
specimen is given of it. By this time the grant of £50,000 public
money to Mr Grattan had been established. taken effect In the eyes of some
persons the reward was rather the liberal somewhat above the mark for a parcel of words
by which personal ambition was so highly served and no personal sacrifice
made, for taking a part which by such a multitude
of others had been taken without any reward. To obviate any dissatisfaction
from this , amongst other things what his Lordship in this letter
for us to prove the existence of that which d in it are
nature is physically impossible. Without a mans own To many out of a mans
against its his consent is possible enough: but without his consent
to put money in it (need it be said) is physically impossible. The fact that Mr
Grattan protected the money was be to be . But that
it was against his consent is most furiously asserted. This conduct p. 237
in question i.e. the declin th refusing the money and taking
it at the same time taking it "will probably" (says his Lordship) be
continued into hypocrisy. Yes — but by whom?? By some who look
only into themselves for information concerning human nature. Here we
see one of the standing artifices. [Opposition is to be created by the
fire of infamy men are to be deterred from representing impossibilities
as being what they are. not only are Mr the of Mr Grattan
himself inseparable inexorable but that of his friends, all his friends — wise!
"As it was found impossible to defeat the design, all his
friends and I amongst among others, were employed to lessen the : i.e.
for the £100,000 first proposed to the £50,000 received. Who
lessened it? Lest the extravagance of the £100,000, should prevent
the £50,000 from coming into the pocket into which in spite of the
