Whose [...?] fear of not continuing: viz an account of unpopularity men of note refuse offers.

When by the multitude or importance of the instances of misrule that have been manifested, disputes /discontent/ [...?] within and without doors has risen to a certain pitch, and thereby in the breasts of the secret advisers of the Crown a certain quantity of uneasiness /uneasiness to a certain amount/ has been created, then it is that it becomes a question whether to retain the existing administration, or to look out for some other hands in which to vest the details of government.

If On any occasion of this sort as on almost every occasion he finds a party already in existence: in each House of Parliament, and in particular in the most efficient House a set of men habituated /accustomed/ to act in concert - to apply their conjunct forces in opposition to every measure of the existing administration by the opposing of which any degree of dissatisfaction promises to be excited either within doors or without doors: either in the body of the people, or among /in/ the comparatively small number of Members who for the purpose of an eventual junction with the /such/ Opposition preserve /have preserved/ a sufficient degree of independence

    As to aims[?] it is the interest of each party to oppose the others one but so it is when in power, to organize new ones.

    As to the means, they consist the chief of them in the nullity of the influence of the people, the effect of the abuses in the Representation, and in the quantity of unnecessary warfare.

    As to those grand points Administration and Opposition - In and Outs - the interest is the same: line of conduct pursued is accordingly the same.

    Under the existing order of things, the country - with all that there in is is a possession of a certain set of Borough Holders and County-holders considered and disposed of, not as an object of trust but as a subject of property: the Borough seats and the County seats being divided between the two sides of the board, the ups and the downs - in proportion variable and varying indeed, but still /even/ in some proportion or other, so /thus/ divided.

    Propose to impair the value of this property, propose to restore it to the footing of a trust - to that footing on which even by the acknowledgement of S.C. himself it originally stood in former times - propose any thing of this tendency, peace is immediately established between these moderate and placable adversaries: peace with unity neverfailing union against the common enemy - the people. Make a stand is the cry on one side - make a stand is the echo on the other: within doors none but amicable rivals: it is without doors only that any real adversaries any permanent and unchangeable /perpetual and total/ opposition of interests is to be found /without doors stand the only and the real enemies: meaning by enemies not those who are disposed to be such, but such whose destiny /lot/ /fate/ is to be treated as such/.

    No sooner are they seated, than the whole train of corruptly dependent Members, who before without constituting a part of the administration (for these by the supposition are gone out) were in use to vote with administration, cross over to the other side. In the situation /condition/ of those in respect of /as between/ dependence and independence no alteration is produced: dependent they were before, dependent they are still.

    These leading Members are all of them already provided with seats in the House and votes attached to those seats. These votes being before engaged, all of them to opposition that is to the administration in expectancy, are now so many votes engaged to administration, that is to the administration in possession.

    themselves respectively the trouble of applying their minds to each separate

    business, observing the /a/ general dissatisfaction encrease, now apply their minds
