"I fear his tender care of me has been a speculation." "You do not believe he is your friend?" "I fear he is not." "Some enemy may have traduced Tom Pearce." "No; the words that aroused my suspicions fell frown his own lips." "And what do you fear?" "You must learn from other lips." "Who will tell me?" "If you are to know at all, you must learn my fears from the lips of my enemies."
"We may and do know him," said he in the only extract for which there is room, "as a base-minded caitiff who has traduced his country for filthy lucre and low-born spleen; but time only can render harmless abroad the envenomed barb of the slanderer who is in fact a traitor to national pride and national character."
I am the more chagrined that through false and passionate reports and information because I am resolved to remain good and true to My Lords the States, to the fatherland, and to the true Christian religion I and mine should now be so traduced. I hope that God Almighty will second my upright conscience, and cause his Majesty soon to see the injustice done to me and mine.
He traduced his memory both by word and deed in the grossest manner; one while charging him with folly, another while with cruelty. For he used to say by way of jest, that he had ceased morari amongst men, pronouncing the first syllable long; and treated as null many of his decrees and ordinances, as made by a doting old blockhead.
My character was traduced by Captain Hawkins, supposing that I was dead; so much so, that even the ship's company cried out shame.
"Bravo!" cried Enguerrand; "all honour to courage! and at Paris it requires great courage to defend the absent." "Nay," answered Alain, in a low voice. "The gentilhomme who will not defend another gentilhomme traduced, would, as a soldier, betray a citadel and desert a flag." "You say M. de Mauleon is changed," said De Breze; "yes, he must be growing old. No trace left of his good looks?"
Lest any one should suppose that these our complaints are unfounded, you yourself, Sire, can bear witness of the false calumnies with which you hear it daily traduced; that its only tendency is to wrest the sceptres of kings out of their hands, to overturn all the tribunals and judicial proceedings, to subvert all order and governments, to disturb the peace and tranquillity of the people, to abrogate all laws, to scatter all properties and possessions, and, in a word, to involve every thing in total confusion.
Leicester accused him of constant insubordination, insolence, and malice, complained of being traduced by him everywhere in the Netherlands and in England, and declared that he was followed about by "a pack of lewd audacious fellows," whom the Earl vowed he would hang, one and all, before he had done with them.
Wellesley!" she said in a loud, clear voice. "I was there all the time you're discussing, and if you'll let me give evidence you shall have it on my oath. I am not going to sit here and hear an innocent man traduced for lack of a word of mine." The Coroner, who looked none too well pleased at this interruption, motioned Mrs. Mallett to come forward.
So far as I am capable of judging, this charge is not well founded; many politicians of the country have used abolitionists as stepping stones to mount into power; and, when there, have turned about and traduced them. He admits that political parties are willing to unite with them any class of men, in order to carry their purposes. Are abolitionists, then, to blame if they pursue the same course?
