consumere nati – understanding nothing but how to eat corn,
unless it be how to make it dear by taxes – men having
for their head such an one as he who having previously
to his entrance into the Cabinet pronounced himself
mad, should he ever presume to enter into it, gave
to this his prophecy so conspicuous a fulfilment
by his practice.

So much for the puppet whose stage is called a
throne, and the Showmen by whom the wires of it are
moved: so much for the security derivable from
such a source.

Relation had to this same business is it your object and design
to object of Chup to secure appropriate aptitude? You will
look for it in some state of existence which in respect of
its relation to that same business forms a contrast as strong as
possible with that which you have just been seeing. You
will look for it, for example, in the situation of a President
of the a Court of Public Opinion. You will look for it, in
a word, in the situation of an Editor of a Newspaper. Yes: it
is in a hardworking, bread-earning situation such as
this that you will look for it. But on what is it that for
his very existence in such his situation this every day
fresh elected functionary depends? On what but on his
appropriate aptitude in all points – precious fruit of his
preparatory and undiscontinued labours bestowed in
antecedent as well as in all present times?

Compare now this real labour of the Editor's Office
with the fancied, the supposed, the pretended labours of the
Monarch's Cabinet. Subject matters, all exactly the same: not any
so much as the smallest difference., po Power excepted,
wherein then does the difference between the two situations
really consist? In this. In the Cabinet are the materials for
the work, without the aptitude; in the Office, the aptitude
without the materials.

What say you to this Belgians? The character I have
been describing – is it new to you? am I altogether wrong in
this? Is this one of those conceptions of mine to the whole
aggregate of which so many scorners administer reputation
at so small an expense as that of a single word – the word
theories? Is it altogether without sanction from the
God of so many men's idolatry – Practice? Is is altogether
without support from experience?
