Supposing upon the plan here proposed,
a pecuniary competition in relation to these
offices established, such is the height of the situation
in the scale of dignity, persons might be found
who, for the sake of right, might be content to charge
themselves with the obligation to it gratis, though
at the same time their pecuniary means were
not sufficient to discharge the functions of it in
a manner equal to that in which, by means of
the salaries at present allowed, it is discharged
at present. But in the competition plan above
referred to, provision against a mishap of this
nature has been made. The present salaries might
be continuing: the bidding being— not by surrender
of salary, but by purchase of the situation
with the salary attached: term of service, two or
three years: eventually, abridgeable on renewable
in such manner as, upon the adjustment
of the details, should appear best suited to the
purpose.

But the Senate would it be able to
persuade itself of the propriety of either these arrangements?
Would it be able to persuade itself of any thing
like a probability of deficiency in appropriate aptitude
on the part of the objects whoever they were of their
choice? Yes when the Directors of the East India
Company have arrived at the same faculty.
