Two Speeches on the Union of the Provinces (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Two Speeches on the Union of the Provinces
One more objection which comes from an opposite quarter to the last, is that our plan is too stringently conservative. Well, gentlemen, I can but say to that - if it be so - that it is a good fault, which we may safely leave to the' popular elements of our state of society to correct in time. It was remarked long ago 'by Lord bolingbroke, and a greater than boling broke has called it a profound remark - that it is easier to graft anything of a republic on a monarchy, than anything Of pmonarchy on a republic. It is always easy in our society to extend democratic in fluence and democratic authority; but it is not always possible, it is very seldom possi ble, ever to get anything back that is once yielded up to 'd.emocracy (hear, hear.) If, therefore, our plan should seem at first sight somewhat too conservative - I repeat my own opinion, that it is a good fault, and the remedy may Safely be left to time. SO much for what lawyers call the general issue.
