2. Order — maintenance of Order.

Foul spot, tyranny: cover, Order, or upon
occasion good order

Be the tyranny ever to excruciating, still by the
maintenance of good ord it the tyranny it can not be denied
but that good order is maintained.

Order maintenance of order are accordingly favourite
phrases on the European Continent of Europe in the mouths
of the despots and their instruments: under the English
Constitution not unfrequent, especially among the avowed
advocates of despotism.

Sometimes instead of by way of reason, when some
arrangement for the more effectual support of despotism and its tyranny
is brought forward, instead of order, good order is the
phrase. But by good order it being so obvious that any the
order be it whatever it be, and how replete soever with tyranny which it is the pleasure of the despot to
established is meant — that and nothing better, much
is not by this variation gained.

By some such words as public happiness a somewhat
better bidding might be made for public favour than by order
alone, or by that word and any other along with it. But
in the use of any such phrase as public happiness there is
more or less of danger. For by these words men are apt
to be put upon the look-out for the effect of the measure
upon human feelings, upon human pains and human
pleasures.

Upon the whole therefore in a public instrument or a private treatise
no uninstructive indication may be seen of the disposition character of the
persons mind, when the maintenance of order is spoken of as
the
the object he has in
view: of the word order, whether
the expletive good be or
be not added to it.
