If you are really serious in attaining a point, make him believe the reverse is your object in view. Governor Macquarie, finding a number of demurrers to his opinion, instead of coaxing them into his views, looked upon them as his personal enemies, and often treated them as such."--_Cunningham_, vol. ii. p. 112.] [Footnote 116: _Bigge's Report._] [Footnote 117: Ibid.] [Footnote 118: Mr. Hall, a free immigrant editor, addressed a meeting of emancipists (1822), and regretted he was not one of their number!--his sincere regret that he was not an emancipist! This, it must be recollected, was after dinner.] [Footnote 119: _Wentworth_, 2nd edit.] [Footnote 120: _Bigge's Report._]
