2. Exposure

1. Suppose measure on the carpet of the legislature, then absurd.

2. Suppose it passed: then seditious - an attempt to raise a rebelion

' 2. Exposure.

In this case /instance/ as to so many of the preceding ones, by the bare statement and exposition of the device[?], the exposure of it will, it is hoped to some eyes, appear to have been pretty sufficiently performed.

But as this device has with great /remarkable/ pertinacity and confidence and with equally remarkable tokens of insincerity or blind prejudice /blindness/ been urged from stations from which an opinion sapping the very foundation of government would not readily have been excepted, a pretty close and detailed examination /inquiry/ of the subject will probably not be deemed superfluous.
