Before I leave this subject, I cannot but take notice of that most infamous practice of bribery, than which nothing can be more opposite to public spirit, since every one who takes a bribe plainly owns that he prefers his private interest to that of his country. This corruption has become a national crime, hav- ing infected the lowest as well as the highest amongst us, and is so general and notorious, that as it cannot be matched in former ages, so it is to be hoped it will not be imitated by p...osterity. " We have then a sketch how fine of a nation like ours, ruined by corruption.
" Whether it be in the order of things, that civil states should have, like natural products, their several periods of growth, perfection, and decay ; or whether it be an effect, as seems more probable, of human folly, that as industry pro- duces wealth, so wealth should produce vice, and vice ruin. God grant the time be not near, when men shall say : c This Island was once inhabited by a religious, brave, sincere peo- ple, of plain uncorrupt manners, respecting inbred worth THE IRISH PARLIAMENT.
