t, in der Politik in die Zukunft hinschaut.--GUeGLER'S _Leben_, ii. 59. [84] The papers inclosed, which give an account of the killing of two men in the county of Londonderry; if they prove to be Tories, 'tis very well they are gone.--I think it will not only be necessary to grant those a pardon who killed them, but also that they have some reward for their own and others' encouragement.--ESSEX, _Letters_, 10, _Jan._ 10, 1675. The author of this happened to be present. There was a meeting of some honest people in the city, upon the occasion of the discovery of some attempt to stifle the evidence of the witnesses.--Bedloe said he had letters from Ireland, that there were some Tories to be brought over hither, who were privately to murder Dr. Oates and the said Bedloe. The doctor, whose zeal was very hot, could never after this hear any man talk against the plot, or against the witnesses, but he thought he was one of these Tories, and called almost every man a Tory that opposed him in discourse; till at last the word Tory became popular.--DEFOE, _Edinburgh Review_, l. 403.

[87] Hundert schwere Verbrechen wiegen nicht so schwer in der Schale der Unsittlichkeit, als ein unsittliches Princip.--_Hallische Jahrbuecher_, 1839, 308. Il faut fletrir les crimes; mais il faut aussi, et surtout, fletrir les doctrines et les systemes qui tendent a les justifier.--MORTIMER TERNAUX, _Histoire de la Terreur_. [88] We see how good and evil mingle in the best of men and in the best of causes; we learn to see with patience the men whom we like best often in the wrong, and the repulsive men often in the right; we learn to bear with patienc
