Rid Yourselves

Lett. 4. Under Code, profit none

10.
Note, in no Ultramarian
Province, no King
with Crown, Sceptre and
throne for lustre, splendor
and dignity of which
boundless money is deemed
necessary:
as in Spain & England.
In Spain as in England
this living idol, receptacle
of the matter of corruption
and delusion, is
visible &c: in Ultramaria
but a name.

11.
True, per Art 336 remedy
against breach of
duty by Deputation
Members. To King, power
of suspending them:
informing Cortes who
will determine.
Good were all Ultramaria
but a few days journey
from Madrid. But
of Peru, Chili, and Manilla's,
the capitals are
distant so many months.
So many months after
Governor's hopes and
patience have been
exhausted, King hears
of the abuse: then if
Cortes sit, he tells them
of it: but against their set,
being sitting, it is three
or four to one. On average,
same seven months for Cortes
resolutions: three more
for receipt of them in
Ultramaria. Correct
these numbers who can.

12.
True per Art 336, to
succeed the displaced
Members are 3
ones: but in the
same way are these placed.
In the eyes of all who are
not bribed to see differently
abuse will consist – not
in withholding but in giving
the approbation.

13.
For example of disposition
to submitt to taxes,
take the case of tobacco:
See the repugnance in
Spain for tobacco tax
produce to be spent in
Spain: judge from hence
of disposition in Ultramaria
as to a tax, produce
thereof to be spent
out of Ultramaria ao. 1786,
of 426,360,100 total revenue
100,000,000 produced
by Tobacco tax alone:
34 years the standing
of the tax. Per Cortes proceedings,
July or August
1821 indignation at it violent.

13(a.)
True: if the objection was
only to made of levying,
this applies not. If to the
subject matter, this is an
objection to all taxes: unless
it were a principle to
tax luxuries only, thence
imports only: as in U.S.
Spain having all necessaries.
Tobacco, though consumed
by the least opulent, is not
a necessary as salt &c.
are.

14.
To a trifling tax on Tea,
though a luxury, U.S.
would not submitt:
hence to subjection was
subjected independence,
to good government growing
better, bad growing worse.

15.
Note, the question is – as
to disposition not right.

16.
Vain to say – we will
correct the mistake. Per
Constitution, in do. none
is corrigible. Infallibility
a fundamental principle.
Present Cortes sworn to
observe it: it hangs about
their necks. No remedy
till after 8 years, before
which every thing good
may have been destroyed
by the mistakes.

17.
Per somebody. Dollars
9 millions once expected
from Ultramaria: instead
of those you are kept impoverished
by the imagination
of them.
