Excerpt from A Congratulatory Address to His Majesty: From the Peasantry of Ireland The politics of Europe are not on the extension of dominion by the barbarous trade of war. When has the victorious nation sheathed the sword without having paid more for conquest that the object of contest was worth? Population and industry are the true sources of national wealth and prosperity. A reflection made on the licensed butcheries of armies by a French writer is a just one: - Oh! que les homnes n'ont pas encore atteint Part d'etre heureux, fans nuire! "What a pity that man has not yer attained the art of being happy without doing an injury!" Fanatism at this day rests only amongst the dregs of mankind, philosophy and found policy have chased it to the recesses of ignorance and artifice, even amongst the multitude of those from whom this Address proceeds, who are the lower order of the people, there appears of spirit of discrimination that rescues the human mind from the imputation of vulgarity.
