1821. March 25.
Rid yourselves.

19 or 1.
Note the inconsistency.
Seen the title of the self-stiled
Ultramarian Deputies
to be regarded as
such – the claim a self-stiled
Cortes decree would
have to obedience if, to
make a majority, the
self-stiled Ultramarians
were necessary.
Seen, the facility with
which the Spanish Deputies have thus disposed
of so large a part
of the power of disposing
of you and yours.

Judge whether for nothing
such sacrifice
was made.

In itself you have
viewed the object: now
view it by the light of contrast.

20. or 2.
With the laxity as to choice
of Representatives, compare
the rigour as to
do. of Constituents.

The principle is – Exclude
all non-Spaniards. To
definition of Spaniards
thence of non Spaniards,
attention is not needful.
Articles 9: from 18. to 26.
labour useless and worse.
1. Useless: for not the
smallest probability is
there that, by non-Spaniards,
so much as one
Member could ever
be returned.

21. or 2.
II. Pernicious: viz by
disputed and lawsuits.
Lawyer, or having a lawyer
for his familiar,
the Codifier.
Was he not English-bred?
Unable I to prevent English
Reformists from
thus straining out gnats
while devouring camels.

22 or 3.
Such the course taken by
custom: offspring and
servant of sinister interest.
Closed are man's eyes against
the absurdity of
this narrow jealously.

23. or 4.
[To ends – to consequences –
men will not look: it
is not customary: it
requires discernment
and labour: to follow
custom, none: Custom,
offspring and Servant
of sinister interest: every
where but in U.S. Creator
and leader of Governmt.]

24. or 5.
Number of Cortes Members
Ao. 1812, 171 – whereof alledged
Ultramarian about 58.

25 or 6.
All these 58 – suppose
them elected by a predominance
of non-Spaniards
– what mischief could
they have done against the
123? Not unless by addition
to the corruptly obsequious:
and corrupt obsequious
– is it not as easily
producible in natives
as in foreigners.

---page break---

26. or 7.
Utterly improbable that
in any one district, of
70,000 inhabitants a
majority should be foreigners.

27. or 8.
Suppose a majority of
Members returned by
majorities of Non-Spaniards:
of what body of other non Spaniards
can the interest (supposing
the claim kept up)
be so adverse as that
of Ultramarians.

28. or 9.
Sole supposition on which
they would be adverse
to the claim, they the genuine
Representatives
of Ultramaria: in which
case, they would, in my
view of the matter be
thus far friendly to the
interest of the countries.

29. or 10.
But in fact, by those
by whom the claim is
kept up, according to
the complexion of the
case, have they been
elected?
