Tory

is an Irish word for a ’bog-runner,' and was TOYS, originally applied to the Romish outlaws in Ireland, and then to aU Jacobites. The word came to be used as a political badge in the 18th century, and has been revived in connection with the Tory Democracy of recent times. Toryism, in its strict nieaning, is now a sentiment rather than a belief but in its new meaning it is a synonym for Imperialism.; Tories proper believed that the Monarchy, the Aristocracy, and the Church were divinely appointed; Tractarian they took a very high view of the moral responsibilities of authority, but relied more on the loyalty than on the judgment of the people. The transition TRADE, from Toryism to Conservatism was guided by Sir Robert Peel.
