Peter Knight Flung Himself Into The Decrepit Arm-Chair Beside The Center-Table And Growled: "Isn't That Just My Luck? And Me A Democrat For Twenty Years. There's Nothing In Politics, Jimmy." His Son James Smiled Crookedly, With A Languid Tolerance Bespeaking Amusement And Contempt. James Prided Himself Upon His Forbearance, And It Was Rarely Indeed That He Betrayed More Than A Hint Of The Superiority Which He Felt Toward His Parent. "Politics Is All Right, Provided You're A Good Picker," He Said, With All The Assurance Of Twenty-Two, "But You Fell Off The Wrong Side Of The Fence, And You're Sore." [more]

Fellow Citizens: The Practice Of All My Predecessors Imposes On Me An Obligation I Cheerfully Fulfill--To Accompany The First And Solemn Act Of My Public Trust With An Avowal Of The Principles That Will Guide Me In Performing It And An Expression Of My Feelings On Assuming A Charge So Responsible And Vast. In Imitating Their Example I Tread In The Footsteps Of Illustrious Men, Whose Superiors It Is Our Happiness To Believe Are Not Found On The Executive Calendar Of Any Country. Among Them We Recognize The Earliest And Firmest Pillars Of The Republic--Those By Whom Our National Independence Was First Declared, Him Who Above All Others Contributed To Establish It On The Field Of Battle, And Those Whose Expanded Intellect And Patriotism Constructed, Improved, And Perfected The Inestimable Institutions Under Which We Live. If Such Men In The Position I Now Occupy Felt Themselves Overwhelmed By A Sense Of Gratitude For This The Highest Of All Marks Of Their Country's Confidence, And By A Consciousness Of Their Inability Adequately To Discharge The Duties Of An Office So Difficult And Exalted, How Much More Must These Considerations Affect One Who Can Rely On No Such Claims For Favor Or Forbearance! Unlike All Who Have Preceded Me, The Revolution That Gave Us Existence As One People Was Achieved At The Period Of My Birth; And Whilst I Contemplate With Grateful Reverence That Memorable Event, I Feel That I Belong To A Later Age And That I May Not Expect My Countrymen To Weigh My Actions With The Same Kind And Partial Hand.

The execution of the penal laws enabled the king, by an ingenious comment, to derive considerable profit from his past forbearance. It was pretended that he had never forgiven the penalties of recusancy; he had merely forbidden them to be exacted for a time, in the hope that this indulgence would lead to conformity; but his expectations had been deceived; the obstinacy of the Catholics had grown with the lenity of the sovereign; and, as they were unworthy of further favour, they should now be left to the severity of the law. To their dismay, the legal fine of twenty pounds per lunar month was again demanded, and not only for the time to come, but for the whole period of the suspension; a demand which, by crowding thirteen payments into one, reduced many families of moderate incomes to a state of absolute beggary. Nor was this all. James was surrounded by numbers of his indigent countrymen. Their habits were expensive, their wants many, and their importunities incessant. To satisfy the more clamorous, a new expedient was devised. The king transferred to them his claims on some of the more opulent recusants, against whom they were at liberty to proceed by law, in his name, unless the sufferers should submit to compound, by the grant of an annuity for life, or the immediate payment of a considerable sum. This was at a time when the jealousies between the two nations had reached a height, of which, at the present day, we have but little conception. Had the money been carried to the royal coffers, the recusants would have had sufficient reason to complain; but that Englishmen should be placed by their king at the mercy of foreigners, that they should be stripped of their property to support the extravagance of his Scottish minions, this added indignity to injustice, exacerbated their already wounded feelings, and goaded the most moderate almost to desperation." From this deplorable state of things, which is by no means over-colored in the above description, sprang the Gunpowder Plot. [more]
