Here has been a measure of pacification proposed; at the least and worst an attempt to enter upon a pacification of a weary and miserable quarrel many centuries old. HERE HAS BEEN A MEASURE OF PACIFICATION PROPOSED AT THE LEAST AND WORST AN ATTEMPT TO ENTER UPON A PACIFICATION OF A WEARY AND MISERABLE QUARREL MANY CENTURIES OLD
re of the constitutional Parliament, therefore, it seems to me, is a perpetual Whig Rump, which will yield to pressure when mere political reforms are attempted to be got out of it, but will be quite immovable towards any real change in social and economical matters; that is to say, so far as it may be conscious of the attack; for I grant that it may be _betrayed_ into passing semi-State-Socialistic measures, which will do this amount of good, that they will help to entangle commerce in difficulties, and so add to discontent by creating suffering; suffering of which the people will not understand the causes definitely, but which their instinct will tell them truly is brought about by _government_, and that, too, the only kind of government which they can have so long as the constitutional Parliament lasts. Now, if you think I have exaggerated the power of the Whigs, that is, of solid, dead, unmoving resistance to progress, I must call your attention to the events of the last few weeks. LESS GROUP AFTER ALL THE FUTURE OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL PARLIAMENT THEREFORE IT SEEMS TO ME IS A PERPETUAL WIG RUMP WHICH WILL YIELD TO PRESSURE WHEN MERE POLITICAL REFORMS ARE ATTEMPTED TO BE GOT OUT OF IT BUT WILL BE QUITE IMMOVABLE TOWARDS ANY REAL CHANGE IN SOCIAL AND ECONOMICAL MATTERS THAT IS TO SAY SO FAR AS IT MAY BE CONSCIOUS OF THE ATTACK FOR I GRANT THAT IT MAY BE BETRAYED INTO PASSING SEMI STATE SOCIALISTIC MEASURES WHICH WILL DO THIS AMOUNT OF GOOD THAT THEY WILL HELP TO ENTANGLE COMMERCE IN DIFFICULTIES AND SO ADD TO DISCONTENT BY CREATING SUFFERING SUFFERING OF WHICH THE PEOPLE WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THE CAUSES DEFINITELY BUT WHICH THEIR INSTINCT WILL TELL THEM TRULY IS BROUGHT ABOUT BY GOVERNMENT AND THAT TOO THE ONLY KIND OF GOVERNMENT WHICH THEY CAN HAVE SO LONG AS THE CONSTITUTIONAL PARLIAMENT LASTS NOW IF YOU THINK I HAVE EXAGGERATED THE POWER OF THE WHIGS THAT IS OF SOLID DEAD UNMOVING RESISTANCE TO PROGRESS I MUST CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE EVENTS OF THE LAST FEW WEEKS
