    necessary or conducive to the adequate diminution, of this effect of that separate

    and sinister interest, the diminution of which was, so long ago as the Year 1782, as

    above, so declared by this House to be necessary, this House can not permitt itself

    throne dated the 5 th of Decr r 1782, his said

    most gracious Majesty, after declaring it to be “the fixed object of his heart to

    make the general good and the true spirit of the Constitution the invariable rule of

    his conduct”, speaking to and of this and the other House of Parliament, was pleased

    to add an observation in the words following, viz:

    “To ensure the full advantage of a government conducted on such principles, depends

    on your temper, your wisdom, your disinterestedness, collectively and individually: and

    moreover thereupon to say – My people expect these qualifications of you; and I call

    for them.”

    governed by that of the expence necessarily employed in the maintenance and defence

    thing approaching to an adequate degree, be diminished.

    can now be effected, the only resource that remains practicable consists in the

    opposing to that sinister, corruptive, illegitimate and pernicious influence, a

    counterforce composed of the legitimate influence of the people.

    25. That accordingly, pursuing those its so solemnly declared principles, and

    treading in those its steps, this House is resolved by one generous sacrifice of all

    separate and particular interest to declare, and it does hereby declare
