Description
Excerpt from A Third Letter to Ambrose Lisle Phillipps, of Grace Dieu Manor, From John, Earl of Shrewsbury: Chiefly in Reference to His Former Letter on the Present Posture of Affairs
We can allow no neutrality. My heart throbs for repeal, for equal political rights with England. I have this day checked myself in point of the language I may have used. We must take care by our moderation not to leave ourselves in the power of our enemies, &c. In the speech at Highbury, we are also told that The Times confessed that there never was an election that cost the fiftieth, or the five-hundredth part that the late election cost. The Tories came forward with their hands full, and they emptied the contents of their hands into the pockets of the elec tors. It is by the most disgraceful means that the worst of parties is elevated to favour. Vitiis mon strum a nulla nirtute redemptum a monster re deemed from its vices by no one virtue; and this they did from the worst of all possible motives. Thus did proud England! He then proceeds: Let us come to the contrast between the Tories and the Whigs - and, in doing so, it will be necessary to enter into some details, although I have no intention of making a speech that will trouble you with many.
