II. Outs are Ins pro tanto

The situation in which the Outs are placed is a mixt and
variegated one: it has hill and dale in it the part which they have always had to act, and
which they accordingly have been acting is a double one.

Outs

The situation is which the Ins are placed is a simple
one: it is all eminence. Within doors Immediately beneath them and within doors they behold
their continually subject, yet still exciting adversaries: adversaries
who, though never other than powerless, can never
either be exterminated or put to silence: without doors, they
behold the whole body of the people, in their language the lower orders, the mob, the
populace, the multitude, the swinish multitude: that multitude
who in their eyes are not only objects of contempt, but of contempt
avowed and without disguise.

Ins

[+] To the Ins, the people
are as beast of work or
burthen: valued
in no other point of view account
than that of the profit and
loss of which they it may
happen to them to be the
instruments with relation
to their those masters: as beasts
but with this difference
that whereas to those
which go on four legs
it can seldom happen to inspire
any such sentiment
as antipathy and disgust
those are the very sentiments
which those who go whose legs
are but two in number
are inspiring continually.

That in this there is
little if any exaggeration
may be is seen little less
than six days a week
by every one who beholds
in the Court Newspaper the
source of his information
What the negro is to the
West Indian, beholds in
the Negro, the ministerial
adherent beholds in every the
man of the people: always
either affording a rebel, or on the
point of being so. Extirpation would be the result, but for the check which the dissocial affections so happily receive from the self-regarding ones

To the seats to which they are indebted for the paramount part of their powers,
they add their those offices and those in which in respect
of the money attached to their quality of pay they behold
the chief part of their value

Of the Outs the character situation being diversified,
the character condition is a mixt one: with reference to the various money
and to other elements articles articles of value and in particular
with reference to the money, they are what this their name
imports: but with reference to their seats, they are in the condition among
the Ins. They therefore accordingly participate in the feelings of the Ins.
The Contempt is the sentiment which the great body of the
people excite in the breast of the Member of the Outs, as well as Opposition as well as in the Ministerial breast
in that of the Member of the Outs: of him whose station is on the
left side hand of the Chair, as in that of him whose station is on the
right hand of that same seat of dignity: the only difference is that in the
one case the sentiment is always open, in the other case, at the suggestion of
prudence, covered.
