1823. Octr. Constitutional Code. 1. Enactive Part

But in company with and in proportion
to, such difficulty, comes the arbitrary power,
and with it the facility, of applying it to
sinister purposes in every imaginable shape:
to the purpose of extortion on the one hand, to
the purpose of corruption on the other.

Hence it is, that to avoid exclude a very considerable
real evil, which does not readily meet the
eye, it becomes necessary to leave open the
door to a quantity, nor that an inconsiderable
one of apparent evil: for such will always
be the case, in so far as quantity, in contradistinction
and and preference to quality, is
assumed as employed as the standard and
object of reference.

What, it may be asked, with your eyes open,
will you give introduction and establishment
to this durable injustice? In so indefinitely large
a multitude will you give exemption to those
who, being so perfectly fit for, have no just title to it?
While to the injury of another large multitude,
you refuse the benefit of the exemption, notwithstanding
that, by the reason of the case,
they are to justly entitled to it? Answer, yes,
this evil, whatever be it's magnitude, I find
myself under a necessity of introducing, on
pain of finding myself under the necessity of
introducing a much greater evil.
