1824. April 30
Constitutional Code
6. Evil 6. Injury to the members of the community
at large: namely by the amount of the tribute thus extracted from
them without equivalent in the shape of useful service.
If in a of painfulness may according to the
Poet be an accidental concomitant, in the opposite situation
it is to a certain degree a constant one. To evil in this shape Add the
benefit from the extra service it may be to any amount more than
compensated. Make no such addition it remains uncompensated.
7. Evil 7. Injury to the class of benemeritants, in
particular. If Suppose arbitrarily conferred factitious honor extinguished out of the question, extrameritants
instead of having each of them to for their sharers
in the tribute in question no more than their own small
number as above: three for example: would Add now the
arbitrarily conferred factitious honor, the force if they can
their the number can be so great, though half the number
or a quarter of the number or number 0 would in this stage of things be the more probable
instead of no more than two or three to share the tribute with
them they have the forty or the four hundred: all of whom
except the two or three are to each man, in proportion to the justness correctness
of his view judgment objects of aversion and contempt.
☞ Note here the satisfaction given to poor extrameritants to find
themselves in company with the rich: but this in consequence of the intellectual
depravation.
With a view to the loss sustained by the community at large
by the for want of the extraordinary useful service this effect was considered
under a former head. it was such it It has here in a distinct and additional claim
to consideration in respect of the loss, and that an ingenious one, entailed
by it in the individuals thus distinguished by here in question the state individuals
who by their extraordinary merits are by the supposition, are or would have been distinguished
from all others.
