Fallacies

III. Outs Pt IX Envying
Ch. 2. Blind Job-Denouncer's Cry

2

As in the former other case, so in this — what fallacy there is in
the argument or discourse consists merely in the any partiality of
the case which may come to have been manifested by him
by whom it has been employed, bringing the evil exclusively
to view and saying nothing of the good: confining his entries
to the evil side of the account; entering nothing or less than
is done on the good side

This is always the case, in so far as the circumstance
of the pursuant benefit derived or derivable in this
or that shape to this individu or that individual, is employed
in the character of a conclusive argument [against
the transaction or in a word the measure.]

The language As it with obvious propriety the ground of suspicion
in question applies to all transactions between individual
and Government, so is it not unused to be applied to
transactions even between individual and individual

The arg language thus employed on any such occasion is not unapt
to be sincere: the inference or evidence thus given as conclusive, is not
unapt to have really been regarded as such by him to
whom in that character it is presented to others.

It In so far as it is sincere, the use made of it has
its origin in the that ignorance which is so generally prevalent
in regard to the structure of the human mind and the springs
of action by which it is kept in work:in the ignorance
that has place in regard to the real state of the mind, and
in the tendency of the passions concerned — the passions of jealousy
and envy to suggest make a partial and as such thence an
unjust application of such conception as a man has of its
psychological mechanism.
