It never had been intended, at least by the great body of those who united in bringing about the Revolution, to make any change either in the structure or administration of the government. What they designed was to restore and secure the government, eccle- siastical and civil, on its old and true foundations. " What- ever might happen," says Bolingbroke, "to the king, there was no room to suspect any change in the Constitution."! But with whatever intentions it may be set about, no estab- lishe...d government can be overturned, without inducing a very great alteration in the subsequent administration of public af- fairs. The new dynasty rests not merely on a different party, but different principles from the old one : new passions are awakened, new interests created, new classes brought into po- litical power. This was immediately felt on the Revolution. The principle of the former government had been loyalty ; that being destroyed, the principle of the new one was interest. To attach men to the new order of tilings by the strong bond of individual ambition became the great object of administra- tion ; and this was accomplished in a way, and to an extent, which ere long excited the most serious alarm through the country.
