"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs, is to be ruled by evil men. Plato - (429
- 347 BC)"
Freeman's
Journal and Daily Commercial Advertiser (Dublin, Ireland), Tuesday, July
11, 1843; A
TORY'S SPITE - The editor of a Tory paper which died a natural death in
Sheffield sometime ago describes that place as "a town where the Whigs are
more implacable - the Radicals more seditious - and the Conservatives less
spirited than in any town in the West-Riding: and the inhabitants generally are
possessed of less energy, less public spirit, less honour, less hospitality and
more selfishness than the inhabitants of any town in the kingdom
