1823. June 5
Constitut. Code

Towards the establishment of good government nothing
can be of more importance than the exclusion of this
from the public mind: the procuring the universal assent
to the position that the more vehement this assertion of vehemently asserted this pretension
to purity of motives is asserted it is the more compleatly and
certainly assuredly false. ☞ Here then the mischievousness of faithin this case.

As often then as any general pretension of this kind
is heard to be made the sort of reception which should be
given to it is that which should be given to any person
male or female who should stand forth and with equal
solemnity profess either that he or she is not
in possession of any of those organs by which the individual
is any of those by which the species is preserved, or that
having them he or she never has had any such desire
as that of putting them to use.

True it is that on this or that occasion thus
much it may be competent to a man, always on the
supposition that by the nature of the motives by which his
actuated conduct is determined, the merits of the question
are in some determinate way affected to make known
and thence to assert, namely that on the occasion he does
not stand exposed to sinister interest in any shape, or if there be any shape in which he is exposed to sinister
interest, that sinister interest has for its counterpoise
a right and proper interest by which it is outweighed overpowered overbalanced.
