1.
Union between you and
Ultramaria under the
same rulers is a burthern
to you: rid yourselves.
Proofs, follow: judgment

for which, all truth must
be alloyed with falshood.

2. Ultramaria's do.

2. Ultimate. Applies 27

18.
Such union would be
dominion of Spanish
rulers, over Ultramaria.
For it could not be
kept up without sea
and land force, sent &
continually recruited, from
Spain. It will be shown that by
such dominion subject many will in any account be all the worse

§. 1. Prelimt Distinctions &c

21.
Application from 16
Use of these distinctions. True, of some of the ruling
few, it is the interest that
the claim to dominion
be kept up, attended or
not with possession:
Gain, in their particular
interest, greater than
loss in their share in the
universal interest.
Example – lucrative office
obtained out of the
expence.

22. See 31
Loss of Ultramarians by
the claim, is not here taken
into the account of
loss: only as a necessary
cause of loss to Spaniards
in proportion to resistance,
and supposed
repugnance of Ultramarians.
Adverse to their
interest and their feelings it can
not but be to have their loss
continually determined by persons
unknown and invisible to them.

23.
In Spain, Ultramaria,
everywhere, community's
interest requires that
its expences be minimized:
ruling few's, that,
in so far as the value
of their share in the profit
upon the expence
exceeds that of their share
in the expence, it be maximized.

24.
On this condition, interest
of ruling few in Spain
requires that the expence
in Spain be maximized:
So do. in Ultramaria:
So of ruling few in Ultramaria
that expence in do.
be maximized.
Thus, in both, ruling
few have this sinister interest.
Thus, the sinister interest
of rulers in Spain, and
do. of do. in Ultramaria,
clash.

25.
If, in the eyes of ruling
few in Ultramaria, the
value of their profit upon
the expence of government
in Ultramaria
is

is greater than that of their
share in the burthen, they
will concur in the maintenance
of the dominion,
otherwise not. See 32 to 37

From 20 17 26.
Distinction between Codifier's
apparent and
real design in regard to
the maintenance of the
dominion of Spanish rulers
over Ultramaria.

The provision being 1. compleatly
and manifestly inadequate,
hardly can they be said
to have any apparent design:
and, unless it be to
establish, in the hands of
Spanish rulers, a despotic
tyranny over Ultramaria,
their real design is unfathomable.

This being the only means
by which the maintenance
of it is possible, how distressing
their situation was
will be seen below.§. 3 Creoles unwilling.
