1821 Nov. 29
Codification Proposal

Upon the supposition that to a purpose in a cause such as the present,
testimonials are capable of being of use, the reader
when he sees the sources from which they can present
themselves to his view will not be surprized at their
not being left unemployed.

For true it is that to this same purpose, whether
by support or any other any such acceptance or that
in question be obtainable, is but too much exposed to .
For true it is that as interest is commonly understood, to
give acceptance to any such proposal is altogether
contrary to the interest of those on whom it depends formation
of it comes it must come. In the character of a
bridle – of a bridle to political power in whatsoever hands lodged
the efficiency of the characteristic feature element of the plan has already
been and will again be brought to view: and no one to no hand no man that has
power in it is any such sensation as that of a bridle a pleasant
one.

Under those circumstances a perfectly votive acceptance
at the hands of the constituted authorities competent authority anywhere is rather
too much to expect: reluctance is the only supposition
coincident with the undeniable constitution of human nature.
This is Of a set of of this sort the use, if any
there be any is the contribution to from a pressure by
which the reluctance shall be overpowered surmounted. Much too great high
to be counted upon with any strong assurance
is the degree of magnanimity and self-denial necessary
to the production of a such an effect. If it be consistent
with the nature of man in his ordinary state that any such
willingness should have place it can only be in a country
in which the of – to the effervescence produced ccause of the struggle contest by the result of which the community has a more or
less liberal government has been substituted.

Prudence would forbid
to upon mention of this adverse
interest if it any possible
the existence of it could possibly
be a secret to those on
whom it is operating to
whom the force of it is
applying itself, that
though to those how
perfectly soever they
are in that situation those who may be aware
of it, it not only
may but too naturally
escapes, but probably has
in general escaped the observation of those whose interests they have in charge.
