LETTER HI.
/In. tDITOR--I think I have said eriong'n to
I)tove What ever
that the p y TRUE BRITON feels to be true,
brave of the Majesty of the Peoplt.• is a
isrgon completely hostile to our Constitution.
It first obtained favour through that very
able
fan C. Fox, who thought he saw his own politi-
eat interest in being called the Man of the People.
11 ut so completely was he mistaken, that it form-
" the most stubborn obstacle to his hopes, and
ir/ fact prevented them from ever being realized
in any Permanent way.
The ConstitutiOn of Great Britain and Ireland
linows of no Majesty whatever except the KING's
sum
l'lclrr E' LENT NlA.tcsTv, arid every other as-
ption of the title is riot only insolence but
IlbsulditY.
.Thatlar
the welfare of the people at
tar„ is the sovereign law, I ant perfectly will-
billg to grant; but that such a concession should
e supposed to imply that the People is th Sov-
eig", is n consequence which I do not only deny,
brit hilt detesty
. If y the People were the Sovereign,
who would be the subjects ? Doubtless, the King
bot be
4thl the Nobles and their rights would certainly
v ,
very well protected.
8° fullv Was this constitutional doctrine under-
stood %%lieu the poison of Republicanism was not
st(t)ielar ditrqsed, that there have been tittles when
People
ledk even the lowest of them, have been as
us for the rights of the King as of the
Clu".ch• Now, their favourite teachers would in-
struct them
to value neither tire one nor the
oilier' Their former zeal was wise and enligh-
thei 1"ed; for the legal rights
r of the Sovereign are
