1823. July 4
Constitut. Code

The Representative can not buy supporters for his sinister interest
1. He has not money enough
2. Had he ever so much it would not serve him as a bullet

In the delivery of their votes the Electors it is true will each
of them be guided by interest by the what in his opinion is his
interest. So in the choice of his Agents will the Monarch. Therefore
in words at least they are in the same case.

But that which in Electors can be much at a loss to know
is that he has two sorts of interests: one that is common to him
and all the other members of the State, another which is peculiar
to himself, and which of in so far as pursued with effect would be
pursued at the expence of the interest of all the those other members of the
State. If those who upon the look out for an Agent on who to bestow
his vote he looks out for one who may be depended upon as ready
to join with him in the sacrifice of all other interests to his, no such
person will he find: for no such person will be found whose interest it
is or by himself can be supposed to be to join in any such sacrifice.

Remains therefore that branch of his self-regarding interest which is common
to him with all the other members of the State. For that Candidate by who
in his judgment that social interest will with the most beneficial effect be advocated be supported
– for that Candidate will he give his vote.
