1820 Decr 3

But in every such body all prejudices and particular
interests have full scope, and operate in full force: and
unless there be in the body some one character whose
influence is strong enough to swallow up every other
the work which is the result is a sort of general compromise.

Each go In the instance of each member Of the aggregate mass of his
particular interest and interest-begotten prejudice some
part is given up but some part is retained⊞ ⊞ ⊞ the correspondence

the compared
is that which
is carried into effect
and to this mass
of sinister interest
and prejudice: the
universal interest the only interest which has no
one to support it, is sacrificed: to sacrificed, to a greater or less
extent, according to circumstances. All this is sure to has necessarily
have place in a place in the case of a Committee: in a secret Committee:
and of nothing of all this has place in the case of an
individual: whatever is delivered by him as his he
is responsible for to the utmost. This being more or less
manifest to every thinking mind, nothing but the inability
to find an individual, whose competency to such
a work his stands established, will

which, where a Constitution was being on the carpet, be in two successive instances,
directed all eyes to the Spanish Constitutional Code nothing Code – but the inability to find such an individual
will direct the cause men to direct their eyes to a an invisible body, of which the
members are out of sight. But, whether there be not
such an individual, and as well as whether, at present in the
there be in existence any more than one such individual,
are questions to which the gentlemen in question in relation to which, among the persons
on whom it depends, I am not what I have seen and heard on this subject does not bring my part much apprehension of any
difference of opinion.
