Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case of the Late Election for the County of Middlesex: Considered on the Principles of the Constitution, and the Authorities of Law There is a crisis, when, on certain subjects, the sober remonstrances of truth and reason, are of little avail against the misguided impetuosity of public prejudice. Happily, however, an intemperance of this kind is generally as transient as it is violent; and, as its rage abates, the minds of the people become open to conviction. There is a regard due even to the misapprehensions of the public: And no prudent Administration will be inattentive to what is called popular clamour. Indeed the public opinion is seldom erroneous, when founded on just information: But removed, as the far greater part are, from the source of true intelligence, how easy is it for those who have an interest in imposing on the public, to mislead them by false representations, and alarm them with vain apprehensions? Impelled by such mistaken motives, how frequently have the people concurred in measures, which tended to defeat the very ends they had in view, and which were ultimately destructive of their own good? But there is that justice and generality in the public, not always to be found in individuals. When the people, by candid and temperate arguments, are persuaded that their opinions and apprehensions are groundless, they are ready to renounce them, and to turn their resentment against those who have deceived and misled them.
