Adversaries to grt.
happiness prine.
1. property trumpeting
principle
2. The original contract.
These two, together with the original contract all emanatg from
the same illustrious and justly-respected source were all of them
so many adversaries of the greatt. happss. prine.:

1. The property trumpeting prine., as a leading opinion and
axiom into an erroneous & malefict. course of whh. more
particularly presently, by pointg. to a wrong object or end in view,
in the character of a polar star by whh. the course of
humane conduct ought to be regulated directed.

2. The original contract by teachg. men to look for the
proper end of government not in the conduciveness of
its forms & arrangemts. to the greatt. happs. of the
community but to the observance of a fiction whh. even if it
had been a reality wd. have wanted much of being an
adequate substitute to the greatt. happs. prince. For
true it is indeed that in most cases observance of
contracts is conducive to the maximum of happiness.
But in cases to a vast extent so far from of being conducive
to that purpose it wd. be destructive of it. Take
for example the whole field of crime: suppose a
contract having for its object the perpetratn. of any one of
crimes contained in that same field. Such accordingly
is the species of contract actually entered into in case
of every individl. crime in the contrivance of whh. there
is concert as well as cooperatn. on the part of individls.
more than one; individuals who in consideratn.
of such concert are with reference to one another in
familiar as well as legal language styled accomplices.

25.
Use made by misrulers
of the substitutn
of this partial to the general
end.
In this substitutn. of a comparatively narrow & only partially
subordinate & conducive end to the only legitimate & all-comprehensive
one may be seen one instrumt. whh. is but too
extensively and frequently made use of for the purpose of engaging
men in the giving adherence & support to maleficent
principles & arrangemts. on the field of government.

26.
Corruptive oaths in support
of original contract.
By fear or hope for example — by corruptn. in a word in
any shape on influences individual or assembly, are led
to make declaratn. with or wt. the sanction, such as it is, of
an oath to maintn. at all times such or such a line of
conduct, describing it. The once so famous & influential
supposed promise — the original compact — wd had it been
real one species of engagemt. a reciprocal one being supposed
to have been entered into by two contracting parties: that
just mentioned declaratn. is another species of engagemt.
namely, a a single-seated one: and as it may happen to any
such double-seated engagemt. to have for its object or practical
end in view the product. of crime, evil, or human
sufferg. in any shape or quantity, so mayst happen to this
double-seated one.
