Under a Representative Democracy tho' there can be no
Lese-Majesty, divine or human, nor any thing of that stamp
there may be hostility: for there may be disagreement: disagreement
by men in any numbers on 2 two opposite sides: &
how improbabley soever, conceivably not the less, such disagreement
may rise to hostility. Here there is war: & this war
a civil war. War then, will on each side be carried on against
the other. But to what purpose? To the same purpose
as in the case between 2 nations foreign to each other:
possession for example of a portion of territory, or a sum
of money in dispute. It will be carried on in what manner?
As in the case of ordinary war, carried on between civilized
nations,: it will be carried on, by each in such a manner
as shall present to its view, the fairest promise for the attainment
of such its end, with the least damage — in the
first place to itself, in the next place to the enemy. Two
armies being in array one on each side, the aim of each
will be to put an end to resistance on the part of the other.
To this effect no other operations being capable of being performed
on either side without danger of life & limb to the
other, nor any aggregate of such operations upon any such
extent without a certainty of such effects turned casualties
Some will accordingly, on the losing side at least, be killed
others wounded, others in the situation of prisoners left at
the disposal of the commander of the victorious army.
