1823. April 29.
Constitut. Code

35.
But, except in so far as
by the Constitution it has
been rendered otherwise,
of each such representative
it is the interest, and
consequent desire and endeavour,
to maximize
the sinister sacrifice for
his own benefit.

36.
Here there are two conflicting
interests: both capable
of being advanced
by agreement and compromise;
neither, without.

37.
Of such a compromise
the result is, a set of arrangements,
by which and at the
expence of the universal,
the sinister interests of
both parties are provided
for.

38.
In every Monarchy, the
power, of placing men in
desirable official situations,
is altogether or for
the most part in Monarch:
so, in a great part of displacing
them. Power of
placing, is called do. of patronage.

39.
As to the benefit to a
man from one official
situation, it is not necessary
he should be in
it by himself. From it's being
in other hands of his
choice, he may reap as
much benefit as if in
his own, or even more:
as

as much, if, had not the
individual connected
with him in the way of
self-regarding interest or
sympathy been placed
in it, he would have
given him to the same
amount at his own expence:
even more, if it
be a situation in which,
on any account, he himself cd.
not be placed.
For in this way, in
the hands of one man
may be conjoined the benefit
appertaining to any
number of offices.

or 40.
Elements of the matter
of corruption, immediately
and unimmediately
applying: immediately,
Offices and other objects
of general desire: unimmediately
through them,
wars and distant dependencies.
These beget offices: offices
corrupt obsequiousness:
obsequiousness in the
seekers towards the givers.

or 41.
Employable in every situation
are wars: in a
particular one only, viz
maritime, distant dependencies.

42.
Each produces the other.
Wars, how unsuccessful,
soever, produce offices:
military, necessarily:
civil, consequently:
money spent, requires
money borrowed: money
borrowed, taxes for paymt.
of interest: taxes, offices.

43.
War if successful, if by
attaching brings in distant dependencies;
these, offices for
government of them.
These, being objects of concupiscence,
beget more
wars.

44.
Opposite to subject's, is
ruler's, interest, in both
instances: gainers, rulers;
losers, subjects.

45.
Published in most States
an official Establishment
Book – mentioning the offices
all or most: with
or without the instruments,
in whole or in
part.
In these may be seen
the actual end of Government.

46.
For showing the influence
of matter of corruption,
shortest course is, to take,
in a limited Monarchy,
Monarch's case: from
hence, conception of it's
do. in inferior hands,
may be easily deduced.
