Emancipation Spanish

' People Sufferers

As will be in Spain as in England. Ten thousand suffering beings /human sufferers/ - men women and children all unarmed meet to consider of the means of relief. Some being by the /a/ existing military force cut to pieces, the rest dispersed the necessity of addition of 10,000 veteran troops, to the 100,000 there were before, is discovered, and the 10,000 thereupon raised. This in a country where every thing is known and seen as it is /immediately/ and the supposition /opinion/ of any demand for additional armed force for suppression of unarmed meetings seems to be incapable of being entertained by any human being who was not out of their senses. Think then how long any such opinion as that of the needlessness of a military force in Spain for the keeping down discontent in Chile, Peru, or the Mauritius could continue in Spain supposing it ever to have been formed there.
