The term chosen Omission and which can not now be
altered or dismissed, requires yet another apology.

The idea of omission may seem to imply convey a
censure on the Plan, and thence on the Bill by which
the Plan brought in in pursuance of it, and thence
as containing additional grounds of for opposing the Bill
now that in the form in which it is brought in.

This Such however by any means is not among the practical consequences
which in my view of the matter ought to be deduced from
the alledged omissions supposing them all fit to be supplied.

Be the measure what it may to an alledged a mere omission
supposing the allegation just ought never to operate be regarded
as an argument the practice interest inference is –
not rejection, but insertion: not rejection of the arrangements
already contained in the Bill, but insertion of this
addition to them. While Too often indeed mala fides
taking advantage of the idea of imperfection apt
to be attached to a measure in which omissions are
fit to be supplied, are pointed out, applies it the fallacy to that sinister
use: but this is only the artifice of mala fides: and
there there can not be a more certain mark of it it is one of the marks by which it may be discovered.

On this plan a material distinction between the
Plan the original design and the Bill – between what ought to have been contained
in the Plan and what ought to have been contained in the
Bill, presents itself.
