Emancipation Spanish

Summary

From the dominion maintained by example of other Colony-holding governments /states/, can any argument worth regarding in the present case be afforded? - None whatever.

Only to Spain, and in Spain only to the subject many, as above is the present argument addressed. But with what propriety so ever if with any it applies to the case of Spain, with propriety with similar and equally incontestable propriety it would be found applicable to the case of every other Colony-holding or distant dependency holding Government /State/. More particularly more especially to Great Britain: that country which though vulgarly regarded as a great gainer, would upon an attentive consideration be found a great loser - a loser next in degree to Spain - by her distant dependencies, Hindostan itself not excepted. The hold which her rulers have on that dominion will however, unless broken by a Revolution, be maintained by them, to the last: maintained with equal pertinacity by each of the two sections of the ruling few - the Tories and the Whigs: On this as on every other point the interests of these two everlasting contending parties being in a state of equally incontestable and irreconcilable opposition to the interests of the subject many, over whom, in respect of superior though barren power thay have a joint and [...?] sway: and, in respect of subordinate and pecuniarily profitable power, what the one are in possession the other are in expectancy.
