1822 Aug. 27
Constitut. Code

But if neither open accusation nor so much as secret imputation can
have place, still less can any remedy in any shape have
place. So far therefore as the corruption has place in the
shape the system of corruption the system of misrule by
means of corruption may be said to have been carried raised
to the very pinnacle of perfection.

The greater the extent to which corruption in that
shape has place, the surer may is the proof more probative antecedent
to all positive evidence is the circumstantial evidence
that by which it is proved that on the part of the persons exercising in chief the powers of government
are those on the person part of the persons by whom in the whole or in part, the
profit reaped from this corrupt state of things the mass of corruption thus constituted, has been
reaped , the corruption that has place is the result fruit of design
that they know what they are about: that they are conscious fully conscious
of the evil that has place, and that they by being the are as those being authors of it:

In this case the corruption may be said to be single-seated:
or borrowing an expression from Botany Monoecous,
the persons thus corrupted, name by the persons reaping
the sinister and dishonest profit, may be said to be self-corruptors,
self-corrupted: and a species of misdeed
stiled self-corruption may be said to have place and
to be habitually committed.
