J.B. to France against Peers
Letter II against Peers
43 Interest Sinister
With the people no community
of interest or
affection; but oppositeness.
44 Locators Interest Sinister
Opposite those of their
locators – and with him
they have that community.
45 Interest Sinister
Of the existence of
those relations you
cannot be unaware
only of the degree – of
which further on.
46. Locators Enemies.
Not consulted was your
good by those who
imposed this cleg, this
yoke, on you: they
were your enemies.
47. Locators, Enemies
Conquered, you were
treated by them as such.
Louis 18 – creature of
theirs, having a common
interest with
them, and for that
located.
48. Locators, Enemies.
Subjected you were
to him, lest you should
be so to Buonaparte
or free like U.S. –
thence an object of
invitation to his subjects.
49. Locators, Enemies.
No appeal this to you
passions. Were the
arrangement good,
enmity of the authors
no reason against
continuing it.
50 Locators Enemies
Could it have been their with wish
that the condition they put
his subjects to should be better
than that of their own?

+ 51. Evil positive introducible
By a Chamber having
an interest opposite
to People's not only good
might be excluded but
evil introduced – viz.
to any amount not inferior
to that of the
greatest good not
yet introduced, or
the greatest existing
evil, not yet ejected.
+ 52 Evil Positive Introducible
Example. J.B.'s willingness
to consent to overpay
rather than not have
local Judicatories.
53. This not Slanderous
Apologetica. Not denied
is the existence of self-sacrifice
to the public
good. But political calculations
should have
for their grounds what
is most common
not what is most rare.
54. This not Slanderous.
By the virtue manifested
in Paris and all over
France the constitutional
arrangements proper
to be made are not
varied.
This is not Slanderous
21 Septr 5th. Added
Constant excitement
may produce expression of
self sacrifice, but till
on it disappointment
will be the
seen result.

+ 55. Locators Interest Sinister
Evil 2. Evil from Locator's
situation. Locator,
Ruling One. This interest
opposite to people's gratification
of his own
desires at the your
expense.
+ 56 Locator's Interest Sinister
Your interest is to have
for the gratification of
your desires the greatest
quantity possible of the
produce of your own
labours.
+ 57. Locators Interest Sinister
His interest is that he
should have it – viz.
1. for the immediate
possession
2. for securing the continuance
of it by remuneration
to his
agents.
+ 58 Locator's Interest Sinister
Necessary to him for
this purpose is the
matter of remuneration;
because by it
may be produced effects
not producible by punishment
alone.
59 Locators Interest Sinister
Results the value of which
rises in proportion to the
alacrity accompanying
the production of them
cannot be produced by
punishment without remuneration.
+ 60 Locator's Interest Sinister
Hence the necessity of
the most absolute
Monarch to deprive
himself of the matter
of prosperity for the
purpose of remuneration.
