Connivance, how
far different from
legitimate concurrence.

But in regard to connivance, may it may be asked
in what you call connivance call by this term of
reprobation reproach is not approbation, and in a certain
way even concurrence — a sort of negative concurrence
contained? where then is the ground for reproach? The Your
charge is that what was has been done was done by one
or some other very small number of persons without
the concurrence of the rest: and here by at last your shewing
this concurrence was not wanting.

The answer is I answer the charge is not that what
was done was really displeasing to those to whom the
connivance was is suspected, but that it was improper
and even in their own view of it improper and not
fit to be done. Pleasing as it was, yet it being even in
their own view of it improper, they would not have
concurred in the bringing it about, had an active concurrence
on their part been necessary to the accomplishment
of it: and thence it is that their concurrence
by which means of which a bad effect which without
such concurrence would not have been produced was
produced, became matter of charge.

But in the concurrence given by this such connivance
is included not merely the concurrence in the not accomplishment
of the end, but in the employment given
to the means employed in giving accomplishment to
that end, .. and in the charge is that
in these means are included a system of purposed misrepresentation
and fraud carried on during a course of years.
