J.B. to Herald on Peel and Bentham

Oh, but (cries Mr Peel in his next speech on the
subject) and not unfrequently by some how means or other, will be the subject come upon
the carpet – Oh but (cries asks Mr Peel) is Bahama the same
place tis not with London? No, continues he triumphantly is another and a very different place, and
how little (continues he again) do Newspaper writers consider how wide the
difference is. Difference? O yes they do consider difference that there is, cry answer those speculatisce:
but in which such? In the Bahama case what we see is banishment and without
prospect of promotion advancement, in whatever degree
the that service is the official language of this same practical paper may
came to be have ben deemed "meritorious": in the London case, staying
quietly comfortably at home, and acting all the while under the
immediate eye of this most munificent of patrons, who
if they exhibit present to his view fitness enough,⊞ ⊞ meaning by fitness obsequiousness to his secretly declared suggestion wishes or that they imagine to be his wishes for their remuneration will give them a third
as much more more as they began with; if they find or
if they fail of so doing will in the performance of their public duty give them the same addition
to enable them to perform it: and so on toties quoties, till they unable
to hold any more, if he and they shall so long
live and agree.

This being the course the course already pursued by him the Right
Honorable Secretary in the case of the Middlesex Police Office – this being the course
which, notwithstanding everything which in the above strain
could be said by Mr Bentham, The Right Honorable Secretary
he now refers to and exhibits himself as persevering in
this accordingly is the course which every person by whom
anything like consistency is expected from him, must on
every occasion be the office the occasion of all offices under
his patronage, be they ever so numerous and well endowed, expect to see him pursuing, so long as
matchless constitution enjoys the matchless benefit of his
special services.
