And you – before this reaches you, what is the seat of
Chief of the State that to serve as King you will have been chosen?
On wh in when who instead of special causes of aptitude
will have been recommended to you by special causes of
inaptitude.

Towards the In my last, in the concluding part of it
I spoke to you of I had begun presenting to your view the contrast,
which, so much to its advantage, the Office of a Newspaper
Editor makes with the Cabinet of a King. The Intellectual
and the active were the only branches of appropriate aptitude – aptitude
for the in question exercise of the functions in question
their respective to which on that occasion
time would admitt the mention of my presenting to your view. Too important
however – by far too important – is the remaining branch –
the moral – to be definitively passed over in silence,
And In this the advantage, in this instance likewise (you will see) is not less remarkably and unquestionably
on the same side.

IV. Fourthly, As to Corruptiveness.

As daggers-drawn with appropriate moral
the moral branch appropriate moral aptitude is –
as you can not but see – sinister interest. Open – wide open to the seducing
voice of that Syren, are the ears of every King, must thence of every man to whom admittance has been given into
Member of his Cabine whose entrance into that seat and source of corruption called
his Cabinet. Opposition – effectually and diametrically opposite – to the interest
of the community at large, is the interest – the particular and
sinister interest – of those its ever faithless trustees. Extract (says – says
says to them those faithless in unceasing whispers, that traitorous Counsellor) extract, for for your
from the substance of every labourer, from whose labour
the matter of subsistence and abundance receives its existence
extract from it, for your own use, the greatest quantity possible.⊞ ⊞ Such is the advice
the Syren gives: and in
that place wide open to receive
it does and it find in all
ears to into which
it is whispered. but is the the
quantity possible says the interest of the whole people.
The greatest quantity? No: but the least quantity, says
the interest of the whole people.
