To this latter assertion there are two answers.

One is — that it is a mere assertion altogether destitute
of any ground that ever has been attempted to be
made, or, in the nature of the case is capable of being
made.

The other is — that such experience, as the nature
of the case has been capable of furnishing, operates the whole
of it, in contradiction to this same assertion. The political
States by which this body of experience has been furnished are
the confederated body of the Anglo-American States: original
number of them, at the time of their declaration of independence,
thirteen: but since that b number, by successive accessions,
augmented to its present number 22 or 23. In no one of
these has the matter of wealth, in any quantity whatsoever, been
applied to the gratification of personal appetite in any shape, the
person of the Chief or any other functionary, or to the purpose
of producing by means of corruptive influence, corrupt
obsequiousness, or to any purpose to which the appellation
of delusions can with any propriety be applied. If in the
person situation of the Chief functionary of the whole confederacy, the
matter of wealth has in any quantity, been applied to any one
of these purposes, so small is the utmost quantity that can be
suspected of being so applied, it can scarcely, with reference
to any such subject as that in question, be spoken of as said to be
worth notice.

Thus much for causes: now as to effects.
