Sinecures

The maintenance of perpetual war – the warding off
of the calamity of peace – has being thus if not exactly
by law but by a force so much superior to that of
law rendered as far as by so much more compleatly effectually
than by statute law it would have been rendered the duty of
that Right Honorable person and at the same time not to speak of anything so far beneath his attention or interest without which duty might have been who shall say
to what degree insufficient his interest what is there
under those circumstances in this state of things is there to prevent his devoting
himself for war to the parochial execution of
such this his duty?

In answer to this nothing can be alledged, but
that which by the numerous and almost endless train
of his friends and admirers will be so sure to be alledged
and with an air of such assured triumph – the utter viz. the implacable
hatred and contempt entertained by that Right Honorable
and virtuous minister for interest in every imaginable
shape – the meaning always his own interest – and
in every case in which as between two conflicting
duties either his interest, self regarding interest
in its code, the certainty which there is of his making
a sacrifice of that duty which has "debased and degraded"
itself by so sordid an alliance.
