Stran 182 - ... it may be that I shall leave a name sometimes remembered with expressions of good-will in the abodes of those whose lot it is to labour, and to earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brow, when they shall recruit their exhausted strength with abundant and untaxed food, the sweeter because it is no longer leavened by a sense of injustice.
Stran 160 - Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly foe, Bold I can meet, perhaps may turn his blow ; But of all plagues, good heaven, thy wrath can send, Save, save, oh ! save me from the candid friend.
Stran 178 - advance "or " recede " ? Which is the fitter motto for this great empire ? Survey our position ; consider the advantage which God and nature have given us, and the destiny for which we are intended.

I was firmly...

For me individually to take the conduct of such a Bill, to assume the responsibility of the consequences which I have predicted as the inevitable result of such a Bill, would be, in my opinion, personal degradation to myself.
Stran 176 - Country gentlemen and farmers are, to their great honour, of all people, the least subject to the wretched spirit of monopoly.
Stran 36 - ... running in such a pack is hardly intelligible. I think he must in his heart regret those early pledges and youthful prejudices which have committed him to opinions so different from the comprehensive and statesmanlike views which he takes of public affairs. But the day is fast approaching, as it seems to me, when this matter will be settled as it must be; and in spite of the orgies in this town and Armagh, the eloquence of Sir George Hill and Lord G. Beresford, and the bumpers pledged to the...
Stran 123 - Why, the right honourable member for Tamworth governs England. The honourable and learned member for Dublin governs Ireland. The Whigs govern nothing but Downing Street.
