1826. Septr. 27
Constitutional Code

alone In case of destitution, pauper allowance, sufficient
to life would according to under this Constitution be alike given to the incapacitated
weaver and the incapacitated Judge.

In consequence of the pecuniary competitor, Trusting to private income already in possession, suppose a man
a man after being under the provisions of Ch. XII. located in the situation of Judge becomes without salary while
in the exercise of that office, altogether incompetent, and
bereft at the same time of his means of subsistence, but
not of those faculties by which he was filled for the performance
of the his official duty in that office: suppose him in consequence
subsisting on pauper allowance, and that allowance potatoes
and water. While feeding on his potatoes he would
have for his comfort the exercise of recollection of the exercise given to the high and
power inseparable from the office, and the universal respect
no less constantly inseparably attached to the apt performance of the
duties of it. Neither of those cases To the By the incapacitated
weaver neither of those comforts are enjoyed. Yet to the exercise
in itself or to the aggregate of the community of what
less importance is the comfort of weaver the weaver than
the comfort of the Judge?

But in the case of the functionary – the service rendered to the public, that service
which has no counterpart in the case of the non-functionary
has no counterpart – in the case in favour of the functionary with reference to retired
allowance does not that circumstance make a difference?
Answer. No: not any: as in the case of the non functionary, so in the case the functionary, while
service continued remuneration continued: unless by
the voluntary choice and spontaneous offer of the functionary while candidate the claim to it was remitted.

As to sympathy, no reason is there why sympathy
should be allowed to tax the people for remuneration who to be
given when no service is performed sympathy should be allowed
to tax the people in the case one case more rather than in the
other: it is more for for his own sake that in following his occupation
the non functionary does what he does, just as much
as what the non-functionary does in his; it is not
more for the sake of other persons that the functionary contributes
to the service of and this or that subdepartment – the Army & Navy
Service Interior Communication – Health, Trust Finance
Subdepartments any more than the weaver weaves and sells cloth if, in this or that high grade
of in any one of those Subdepartments,
a man of
superior mind feels derives a
pleasure from the contemplation
of the service he is
rendering to the communi public
he has in that very pleasure
his reward: a reward
charge if one of those good commodious things of which minds so constituted are forestallers and engrossers. If they are with the reward the man is satisfied they he deserve it:
if he is not satisfied with it he does
if they are not they do deserve
it: they are he is not what
they are he has been been assumed to be.
