Constitut. Code

In the a case such the one thus described corruption might
without impropriety be said to have had place: in it may
be seen sacrifice detriment produced to the universal interest,
for setting aside the detriment done to the interest of the foreign
community, here may be seen detriment to the interest of the
community in question by means of the detriment evil which
the foreign community thus injured could not if composed
of men fail to do to the community in question in retribution
for the acts of piracy exercised as above at the expence,
here is may be seen benefit rendered to a particular interest, the interest of
the chief in question, at the expence and by the sacrifice as above of that same
universal interest, benefit namely rendered to the interest
of the chief to the amount of the property so captured

by the fear of a portion of the modes of evil in the shape of death, as if by the hope of the a
portion of the matter of good: for example a share in the proceeds of the mass of the matter of good so acquired in the way of practical deprecation: partly because in
