§. 1. Interests concerned

43.
No otherwise than indirectly
does retrenchment
belong to this Ultramaria
question. Not as a proposal
concerning retrenchment
is this to be
considered: of this if yes, the
effect on the Constitution
would have been taken
into the account. Use
here is – the impressing,
on those particular interests
the their coincidence,
on this occasion, with
universal.

44.
In Spain, the present
is the state of things in
which, to the possessors
of particular interests,
the value of their share
in the universal is particularly
high: despotism
having, by its intolerability,
been recently
converted into a mitigated
do.: (not to speak
of the only good form of
government⊞ Of those
who derived most advantage
from misrule,
so insecure the condition,
for securing person, they
are may for some time be willing to give up
some of their share of
plunderage.

⊞(44) namely that which
is most conducive to the end declarationof the
Spanish constitution.

Hence, in any class of
those to whom the Ultramarian
claim has
given a sinister interest,
there may be some, in
whose eyes their share
in universal do. is
more valuable.

§. 1. Interests concerned

45.
but, as general security
encreases, this ratio lessens.
Today, suppose,
of the Council of State
and the Septemvirate of
Ministers, a majority
would give up the claim,
it follows not that they
would tomorrow: security
entire, an interest
in which the beggar
shares with them, will
always be under valued
by rich and powerful.

45.*
[For example, see England.
One law for rich, another
for poor: one for buyers,
another for those unable
to buy: this seen, the rich
see the poor slaughtered
rather than they should
hold intercourse for redress.

46.
Now, then, is the time,
for those whose share in
the universal interest
is clear of all share in
any such sinister interest,
to make the most of the
assistance of their temporary
allies. The longer
the delay, the greater the
difficulty of casting off
the exhausting nuisance.

46.*
In Spaniards, on this
ground, hope: in English,
little. So long have
they been deluded by
the vision phantas magoria of power exhibited
played oft by rulers.

47.
To all three particular
interests, thus adverse is
the claim: that yet to each
it should appear so is
too much to expect.
For retrenchment, all
may ery: but "not from us," each.

47.*
Undeniable, that Spaniards
have an interest
in the claim: yes, ruling
few: no,, subject
many: nor yet all ruling
few.
Yet among them
those interest would
have place, even under
assurance of non-success.
In the language of
all dominionists, country
one; Peninsula one part,
and Ultramaria part another:
interest one; no distinction
of interests.
