Constitut. Code
Blame/Praise worthiness but are an instrument of delusion in the case of likewise.
6. Delusion. Matter of delusion – matter of stock
of delusive influence
Whatsoever operates in as the character of matter of corruptive
influence, operates at the same time in as the character
of matter of delusive influence: as matter of
corruptive influence it operates upon the will: as matter
of delusive influence it operates upon the understanding:
as matter of corruptive influence it breeds knaves:
as matter of delusive influence it breeds dupes.
Out of the substance of the corrupti dupes the knaves suck the
sweets of government as out of the bodies of the certain aphides
certain the ants suck the honey which they afford.
As on the stage, so on the theatre of life, the fine arts club
to compose the entertainment to produce the delusive effect: corruptive influence with
its sinecures, pensions useless offices needless offices offices
Crowns sceptres thrones palaces, coronets, mitres stars, garters,
crosses ribbons furniture the pantomine, composing all together the apparatus the machinery the property of the political : delusive influence
standing on its own ground furnishes words and more
muses: all who have money power of factitious
dignity to give, every day come to satisfy hear till they are strained and tired the long
parrot song of eulogy: the corruptionists the knaves who are paid
for it sing and air: the dupes, in quality
of composed , join their voices and compleat the chorus.
Where opinion – inward opinion – is the subject, the strongest direct evidence is
weak in comparison of circumstantial evidence.
