Of the tribunal of public opinion, there are in every country there are
two sections: the democratical and the aristocratical. In both each
section the judgments of the tribunal are of necessity determined by the interest
of the Judges: by what are, or if there be any difference, by what
are supposed by them to be, their interests. In relation to any every such
work, and the conduct of the workmen or on the occasion
of it, the judgment of the democratical section of this same tribunal
will be more or less favorable or unfavorable, according as that same work and
that same conduct are regarded as being more or less contributory or detrimental
to the greatest happiness of the greatest number: of that same tribunal the judgment
of the aristocratical section will in of that same tribunal the judgments will in relation to that same work and that
same conduct be more or less favorable or unfavorable, according as they are
respectively regarded as being contributory or detrimental to the greatest
happiness of the ruling and influential few, whatsoever may become of
the happiness of the subject, and uninfluential or less influential many.

apposite and conclusive a test as this does of appropriate
aptitude taken in all its several elements.
