Thus then it is that in the hands of thepossession of the supreme operative
body, supreme sort operative authority of the State, by whomsoever edplaced rendered so there exists
at all times a sinister interest mass of particular and- of interest acting in
opposition to the line of duty of interest by which they are
prompted to benefit themselves at the expence of the subject
many in the measure that has been maintained: and by this towith this interest correspondingand corresponding and endeavour power is by the supposition
conjoined in the same hands: by this interest according
throughout the whole of this cause with the path they take
be determined - that path consequently the sinister one
except in so far as by the influence of the subject many
acting in the character of their constituents their path can be
kept in theconfined to right course, kept from during into that
same spanish course.

But to reap their reaping this benefit, the concurrence of
the two classesthe other class of functionaries is all along necessary: it is
from the hands of functionaries belonging to the
department that the functionaries belonging to the Legislative
department must receive have received whatsoever shares in the mass of benefit in question it may
happen have happened to them to have respectively receivedreceive. Thus
there by the very nature of the case, and without need then between the members of every legislative body in the , need then functionaries in
the Executive Departments
at whose directun disposal
in the
way then save
of
of every form of words, or so much as discourse in
may stamp in relation to the subject, is a sort of prop
compact: that compact in truth been seen to corruptive
use, and that corruptive compact a perpetual one.

And thus it is that in every Constitution that has in it a representation of the people, possession the whole of a portion more or less considerable of the legislative authority in every such constitution by a necessarily influencing interest
the members of the legislative body are continually at all times urged
and at no time in vain to do their interest towards the giving
increase to the number of offices endowed with pecuniary need the
quantity of such undment attched to each: to give increase
to it as fast far as possible, under which is included the
preserving it from decrease.
