Stran 363 - over-run them with the mercenary sons of rapine and plunder ; devoting them and their possessions to the rapacity of hireling cruelty ! If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, 1 never would lay down my
Stran 981 - perhaps an ambitious prince. Our statute law, Sir, is not silent on this occasion. Every year in the Mutiny Act it is expressly declared, that " the raising or keeping a standing army within this kingdom, in time of peace, unless it be with the consent of parliament, is against law.
Stran 623 - be compelled to make or yield any gift, loan, benevolence, tax, or such like charge, without common consent by act of parliament;" but, my lords, it is not by the letter of the law that parliament is to be directed, but by its meaning, and the spirit of the constitution. And, my lords, what is the meaning of the

Stran 759 - 1." That leave be given to bring in a Bill to enable his Majesty to appoint Commissioners to treat, consult, and agree upon the means of quieting the Disorders now subsisting in certain of the colonies, plantations and provinces of North America. 2. That leave be given to
Stran 1003 - Surely, my lords, this nation is no longer what it was ! Shall a people that seventeen years ago was the terror of the world, now stoop so low as to tell its ancient inveterate enemy, take all we have, only give us peace ? It is impossible ! • The
Stran 1009 - have been enabled to come here this day—to perform my duty, and to speak on a subject which has so deeply impressed my mind. I am old and infirm—have one foot, more than one foot in the grave—I am risen from my bed, to stand up in the cause of my country—perhaps never again to speak in this
