But since according to you sinecures are
such bad things that this pernicious fund has
undergone such prodigious dilapidation , mightshould as
your view of the matter, if you are consistent, be
regarded rather as a fortunate than as in unfortunate
result rather as matter rather of satisfaction
than of regret - - -

I answer — yes — In one supposition, yes.
if they are to be considered as predeterminated to an
everlasting duration yes. Considered as constituting
part or parcel of the corruption fund of the fund
appreciable and habitually applied to the purpose of
corruption - parliamentary corruption the greater the more than
portion of it thus wasted by anticipation in better.

But Considered however with a view in redemption
and abolition the result is widely different.
Supposing thence about to be brought up, the greater the probable duration
thus given to each outcome, the greater will be the
sacrifice necessary to be made in the shape of public money for
the purchase of it.

Nor even is this the worst: for the the amount of greater this
sacrifice the greater is the strength of stronger is the argument afforded by it
against the purchase.

Such has been the reward, such the ingenuity inducements
of depredationrapacity - by one and the same act of depredation
opulence have been provided for the present security for
the future.
