'And that's a' your Whiggery, reechoed the Jacobite heroine; 'that's a' your Whiggery, and your presbytery, ye cut-lugged, graning carles! What! d' ye think the lads wi' the kilts will care for yer synods and yer presbyteries, and yer buttock-mail, and yer stool o' repentance?
No abstract principle, but always this dominating passion, covers his inconsistencies, and bridges the gulf between his earlier Whiggery and his later Toryism. In the French Revolution he saw only cruelty, and he opposed it as he had opposed Indian Imperialism, negro slavery, the savage criminal justice of his day, and the penal laws against the Irish Catholics.
Galleygo and the other servants had already made the dispositions necessary for embarking, and it only remained to take leave of the inmates of the dwelling. The parting between the baronets was friendly; for the common interest they felt in the success of Wycherly, had, in a degree, rendered them intimates, and much disposed Sir Reginald to overlook the sailor's well-known Whiggery.
Mrs Alison Wilson's grief was partly indulged and partly relieved by the torrent of invectives with which she accompanied Mause and Cuddie's expulsion from Milnwood. "Ill luck be in the graning corse o' thee! the prettiest lad in Clydesdale this day maun be a sufferer, and a' for you and your daft whiggery!"
How, then, are the people's eyes to be opened? By the force evolved from the final triumph and consequent corruption of Commercial Whiggery, which force will include in it a recognition of its constructive activity by intelligent people on the one hand, and on the other half-blind instinctive struggles to use its destructive activity on the part of those who suffer and have not been allowed to think; and, to boot, a great deal that goes between those two extremes.
Those of extreme pro-slavery views, like Dixon, of Kentucky, who, when he introduced his amendment, declared, "Upon the question of slavery I know no Whiggery and no Democracy," went boldly and at once over into the Democratic camp, while those who retained their traditional party name and flag were sundered from their ancient allies in the Northern States by the impossibility of taking up the latter's antislavery war-cry.
"I should like to know, Caroline," said Grandmamma, with severity, "where you picked up such levelling ideas? Why, they are Whiggery, and worse. I cannot bear these dreadful mob notions that creep about now o' days. We shall soon be told that a king may as well sell his crown and sceptre, because he would be a king without them." "He would not, Madam?" I am afraid I spoke mischievously.
'He's a Liberal, but he troubles himself little about parties. 'He's a stout Catholic, though, isn't he? 'He is a very devout believer in his Church, said Dick with the tone of one who did not desire to continue the theme. 'Then why does he stop at Whiggery? why not go in for Nationalism and all the rest of it? 'And what's all the rest of it?
He could not stay for some reason I did not hear what. Father growled as he heard him go off, singing, down the walk. "Where on earth did the fellow get hold of that piece of whiggery?" said he. "Just listen to him!" I listened, and heard the refrain of the Whigs' favourite song, "Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us "
Macaulay was probably the only man who, being born outside the privileged enclosure, ever penetrated to its heart and assimilated its spirit. But those opinions and those tactics have been mere accidents, though perhaps inseparable accidents, of Whiggery. Its substance has been relationship.
