By the corruption which requires intercourse the utmost
effect produced and consequently the utmost mischief is as
nothing, compared with that which is produced by mere situation
without need of intercourse. In a an absolute Monarchy
all other functionaries, are by their dependence on the Monarch are, by force of his two correlative situations — by the
dependence of their situation on that of the Monarchs
kept in a constant state of corruption — ready instruments
of wrong in every shape in his hands. In a limited
Monarchy these trustees, by whose location the limits, such
as they are, are set to the power of the Monarch, will always
be for the most part in the same state: the expectation
of the good which they are capable of receiving at his hands
sufficing without for this purpose without the apprehension of
evil in any shape other than that in which it is produced
by the substraction of the good. Thus it is that the in

known instrument of his and every known favorite: and,
forasmuch as to the reaping the first fruit of the corruption
no act on the part of a corruptor is in any such situation necessary,
every such corruption may, without if he acts but act with common observation
enjoying enjoy without any of the odium the full benefit
of it. While thus enjoying the benefit of corruption In company with this benefit, he may

of the unreflecting deluded unreflecting and deluded multitude the praise of purity. Bribery
is corruption by intercourse: and a the Monarch who
while, asleep, keeps the on his throne, keeps by the mere act by the mere act of sitting it keeps in a state of continued corruption and mischievous obsequiousness
of sitting it both the self stiled trustees of the people by whom his power is supposed
to be limited, and the few those the their Electors who with their small number of the electors
who act instead of occupy the place of the whole people
join, with exemplary readiness, in heaping up punishments and infamy upon the coarse and odious and needless crime of
bribery:
