to the particular function here in question: it consists in the multiplication
given to the number of sacrifices persons prone to the making capable of being
made the persons at once able and disposed to make sacrifice of the universal to sinister & particular interests & prejudices:

to compared with that of the correspondent sacrifices capable of being made in
the course of the business of any ordinary office, is as infinity
to one.
