-ished, would have seemed to be rewarded. They certainly Collective punishmt
New Shoreham
would have been rewarded in point ofby the honour.
If a religious attention were constantly to be paid private subsisting
interests which being temporary may always
be provided for at a small expence, reformation and which cannot
be neglected without
injustice,
would be deliver'd from much of that opposition
which it is at present apt to meet with. One may
say to Reformers, Serve the whole, but forget not
that each member is a part of it.

Note continued
Strictly speaking, it is
true, that the Electors
have no reason to complain,
except as above,
upon the occasion of an
extension of the Elective
franchise. The dilemma
is clear: if you
do not mean to discharge
it conscientiously
you ought not to be
trusted with it. If you
do it is of no benefit
to you, and you can

have no ground to
complain of its being
taken from you for
the benefit of the State.

NOTE

The incapacitated Electors were about sixty: suppose
those not incapacitated to have been 20 : The suffrages
of the untainted part were on this supposition of 1/3
part of the whole. Suppose the new-admitted voters
to be have been such a number, viz: 580 when added
to the twenty left would make up the whole number
600. I would have had given ten votes given to each Instead of that
they are to
a tenth part of
their former influence
[value]
of the old electors; their suffrages taken together would
then have & born the same proportion to those of the
rest under the new constitution as under the old one:
for as for 20 is to 60, so is 200 to 600. As those old
ones came to die off, thestanding improvement would have
taken place.

...This was the man to have rewarded with a
statue in the [Palladium] of the Metropolis. This rather
than he whose merit consisted in the offering to
personal affron the First Magistrate of the
state a personal affront bravado, which was exemplified
no self-denial, was attended with no danger,
& promised no success.
