1831 Feb. 18
Universalist.

Greatest happiness

Add Mischieff-fication—the
old trick.
for the purpose of
reconciling the many
to the sacrifice of
their happiness
to that of the few
a trick was devised
so long ago as in the
earliest ages of the
Commonwealth of Man
The whole community
was divided into
classes. To each
class the same list
of the general objects of desire
in particular of power
was given, as to every
other. But into one this
of the or that say classes were put
by units: while into
this of that other they
were paid by thousands
here then was perfect
the semblance of perfect
equality on the surface
while underneath even
the reality of inequality
to any extent which
injustice with
pain could observe

This objection has at
on different occasions
been repeated by on
behalf of the aristocrats
of England.

The workers if it
were they deceivers or
deceived?

Neither to in the one
nor in to the other of these
two classes are included the Editors of the Universalist.

The following are the
particulars by most
of which much more
by the aggregate collection assemblage
of them all, the proposed
Editors of the
proposed new morning
paper intitled the
Universalist declares
themselves to to
the power the determination
to distinguish
it from, and
no title to estimation
place it above
whatsoever has as
yet been acceptably
proposed or so much
as thought of by
those of any Newspaper
as yet extant.

Democrats interest



Listen read the following eulogium.
In the hearts of these questions
question The far more evidence
the better: ours over
the heads in which there
is the most of it:

The many. No not such
yet thing wisdom is the in
proportion to attention
and the stronger its relation
to attention, the stronger the
attention itself

But even if you had
more wisdom the
might be the better
for it, but we should be
the worst: to your own
means might it be employed
out of it: it was no part of it except
one more of us than
of you.
