In the last war the Hessians did once go into _aliena castra_, and except at that time when they were forced at Munich, never behaved well. He thought there was an equal violation by both treaties, but the Russian most dangerous: yet he would not avow that we were so exhausted as to declare we could not assist Holland. Because this treaty stipulated succours for England and Holland and Hanover, did the legality for the two first prove the third stipulation not illegal? But even the protection of Holland was not mentioned in the Address of last year. “Where,” said Murray, “is the harm of holding my troops ready? the Crown reserves it as an operative act.” But that was precision at which we could not arrive! was all an unmeaning verbiage! You had not the troops, therefore it was no war! but there was levy money: and raising men, without firing a gun, was constructive treason. He wished he could hear any more of the shining lights of Westminster!--the long robe was made use of in all arbitrary times. How often had they attacked Magna Charta with explanations of _nisi per mandatum Domini Regis_! Where, might it have been said in the late Rebellion, was the harm of a few men _ready_ to rebel? Dr. Foigard says, “Where is the harm of being in a closet?” These _vigorous_ measures would pull a war out of the closet. He denied that the Crown had a power of making subsidiary treaties that lead to war. That Hanover was concerned in all these treaties quoted, he was sorry to hear--then surely it was time to stop it, since we improve so much in adulation, as to be arrived at the age of speaking out and avowing Hanover in all. He wished the circumstances of this country could permit us to extend such care to Hanover; but he would not for any consideration have set his hand to these treaties.
