But men who afterwards became alarmists, are found, so late as the spring of 1792, declaring in their most confidential correspondence that the party of confusion made no way with the country, and produced no effect. Horne Tooke was its most conspicuous chief, and nobody pretended to fear the subversion of the realm by Horne Tooke.
"Nothing can be more unfair than the manner in which the scoffers and alarmists have represented the missionaries.
Lincoln, receiving one deputation of alarmists with considerable calm, no doubt thought to excuse it by saying: "That reminds me of the story of the schoolboy. He found great difficulty in pronouncing the names of the three children in the fiery furnace.

I make it my business, when I am in France, to preach political good-will and moderation, and to dwell on the example of Poland, much as some alarmists in England dwell on the example of Carthage. The priest and the commandant assured me of their sympathy with all I said, and made a heavy sighing over the bitterness of contemporary feeling.
