1821. Novr. 25.
Codification Offer.

For, though by the supposition, by so far as depends on particular arrangements
conceived in terminis, he is not competent to the
filling up of the outline, – yet, by virtue of is comparatively
greater command over the whole field, it might be in his
power, by means of instructions furnished by him in
general terms, to afford, to any natives on whom the task devolved,
superior assistance: assistance of such sort, as should enable them to give
a more apt execution to it, than with law him, it would
have been in their power to give it. In their power – not
to speak of their inclination: for, considering the atmosphere
of sinister interest and prejudice, in which, (as hath been seen) all
native functionaries, as such, have to live and move, – this is a distinction which
in considering contemplating the effect of the in the character
of in effect the
should never be out of mind.

II. In the To next place, to the deficiency, be it what it may, a compleat
supply stands assured.

The hands from which, of course, it will in the first place be
received, are those of the Legislation Committee.

To the aptitude of the supply from this quarter,
one moment may present an object, but another
will dispell it.

By the supposition, it may be said, these natives
will be labouring under those causes of inaptitude,
those sinister interests and affections, as well as prejudices,
by which their appropriate aptitude, as well
in point of moral aptitude, as in point of appropriate
judgment, is, according to you, placed so much below
that of the foreigner. True: but, by that same supposition,
the draught – the groundwork which they will
have to work upon – is a draught, not drawn by their
own hand, or nor by those of any other native, but by
the foreigner's and it is by him that it has been furnished with
his its rationale. In the outline, then, of the his drawing,
with or without the inspection above spoken of, in the
outline of his drawing, with the bridle which it affords
as well as the guide, will they find a check to, and a
security against, the effective predominance of those
same sinister interests and other causes of inaptitude.
