Case 2. The numbers of one of the two Chambers locted
by a Chief Functionary, and, upon the death of each of them, a successor
to him located by genealogical affinity with relation to him:
further addition, with or without such genealogically-located
successors, being capable or not capable of being made by the
Chief functionary of the time being and his successors.
Here the sinister sacrifice is of the same sort and effected
by the same means: but still more burthensome.
Not only a particular class of men is established, but a
particular race sharing among them a particular and sinister
interest, continuing and operating in a state of everlasting
hostility to the universal interest: the people at large objects of
unassuageable hatred and contempt to the members of
this privileged class: of hatred for the resistance which they
cannot but oppose, insofar to as regard for personal safety security admits, to
whatever measure they see operating to their prejudice: of
which measures for the purpose of depredation and
oppression in all shapes there can never want a continual
increase: contempt for the inability under which the
authors of the oppression will see the victims labouring:
and for the magnitude of those deficiencies which it is
the constant endeavour of the oppressors to increase.
Reference to some paper in which the evils of Aristocracy are depicted in detail.
In these sentiments of unassuageable hostility, of the members of the
privileged race (the existence of which is the worst of nuisances) their
progress will, from generation to generation, be involved: and as generations
multiply, the interest begotten prejudice, begotten by this sinister interest,
will acquire an ever increasing force. In regard to this right to
do wrong the longer the continuance of it has been, the more strongly
confirmed on the part of all those who share in it and enjoy it will
be the persuasion that it is a natural one. A system of theology is
framed for the support of it: A God will be erected to whom will be assigned the office of creating
two races: two races of essentially different substances under the same form and appearance— one to command,
the other to obey— one to be in a state of undisturbed felicity, the other in a state of unmitigated and helpless wretchedness.
