The Statesman. — London, England, 1814-03-16 00:00:00

Ti It ills EDITOR or rffs STATESMAN. 6/14—Indeed I do not know any public degrada tion, authorised by our laws or manners, that would be too severe a punishment for those profligate Journalists who have dishonoured the country, and much more so its Government, by their unmanly and vulgar scurrilities against the present Ruler of France. The language of the Times, the Courier, and some other hireling Prints, is so very base, that the minds of the writers in those Papers, as well as the supporters of them, most, I am sure, be as coward. ly as they are corrupt. I adopted very early in life; as a principle in legislation never to be departed from, that 44 every man holding an office in the scruice of the State should be qualified for the station he fills." Try any of the Bouneons by tilts rule of prudence; is well as of justice, and say what are their preten sions to a throne, from which they were deservedly driven. • Try the whole chronicle of Kings and Princes scattered over the vast continent of Europe, by this Unerring rule, and, tel me how long such of their Highnesses, who claim the right to. trample their Subjects under feet by prescription, would be suf fered to disgrace royalty / I am told that I am not fitted for the age I live in—l can retort and say, the age is not worthy of the virtues I possess, or of the piinctplr,l* world establiih. Those principles, how ever eitfishimable, and even impracticable they may e, at this moment, catimit remain for ever pro geritied, through the tout•means of a venal press, jsettressed as it every where appears to be by the ' isoguittery bayonet, ready to inflict the wound of death on the, first Movement of the people in defence of legitimate freedoM and public right. The armed .legions of despotism cannot. always be triumphant; and let the genuine friends of liberty, spread over the wide surface of the earth, derive consolation :from an assurance, confirmed by the victories obtain. .ed in thlwertentry over tyranny, at a period suffici totly near to warn those Princes of the danger they inctsr by idliteting the erbifrary conduct of those whom they have been permitted to supplant on a sup- Isesitioo they would merit the confidence reposed in -them. Those Geetlemen, so haughty and incorrigi ble, affect to treettheir subjects as if they despised the homage and the honours bestowed upon them.-- hey even seem to demand them 'with as much erre 'Arcs as if they deserved them by their virtues, wh(lethey prove at once their ignorance and their insolence, by pretending to two thipgs very foreign ;Ili their nature--The pleasures of a profli ,, ate idle ness.with the rewards of virtue! Woul d Goo, Sir, that they were as enviable for their wisdom and integrity, as they ire 'for *their fortunes ! I should not have so largely expatiated on a class of men who seem to forget they are mortals, and who claim a latitude in crime as well as in authority, highly Incompatible with the interests of society, if the hired scribliteri of the day had not insulted the un derstanding of the nation, and the sterling principles . by altikilit, has for centuries measured its homage to the thititeil.;,4o . pretending that twenty millions of men Ilse' *lie teansfetted like so , many sheep or s4t, Ditto, Marks Mayptithe, Gen. purchase, vit,e Cart. promoted. 116th Ditto, Capt.
