"Those whose sentiments are injudicious or unfriendly, will cease of themselves, unless too much pains is bestowed upon their conversion."--C. S., Int. _Junius._ "Mr. Wilkes, if not persecuted, will soon be forgotten."--Let. 11. See also Let. 1 and 35. I have heretofore given examples of the above to prove another fact. * * * * * I now call attention to the passion of suspicion: _Paine._ "I am not of a disposition inclined to suspicion. It is, in its nature, a mean and cowardly passion, and, upon the whole, even admitting error into the case, it is better; I am sure it is more generous to be wrong on the side of confidence, than on the side of suspicion. _But_, I know as a fact, that the English government.... Their anti-revolutionary doctrines invite suspicion even against one's will, and in spite of one's charity to believe well of them."--Let. to Samuel Adams. _Junius._ "The situation of this country is alarming enough to rouse the attention of every man who pretends to a concern for the public welfare. Appearances justify _suspicion_; and when the safety of a nation is at stake, suspicion is a just ground of inquiry."--Let. 1. The above is strong language in regard to _suspicion_. Paine thinks it mean and cowardly if not well founded, and Junius thinks it is justifiable when the safety of a nation is at stake. This is an uncommon sentiment, and, if Mr. Paine was Junius, he is found repeating himself after an interval of thirty-four years. In regard to thinking for one's self, Junius says of Benson, in withering rebuke to Lord Mansfield, who had committed him for contempt: "He had the _impudence_ to pretend to _think for himself_." Paine exclaims: "Why is man afraid to think?" * * * * *
