Sinecures
Yet this Disastrous as it is, this state of things is
not to be held up to view: Any why not held up to
view? Lest and the feelings of this or that great
character in a high situation should be violated
or lest a reproach be cast upon the administration
of justice and the purity and dignity of it lowered in the estimation
of the people.
In the other cases a man is not understood
to will of the public by the endeavour to
screen abuses in government from observation.
In other cases it seems to be pretty generally not only
only sufficiently understood but pretty generally recognized,
that before you can hope an abuse can
be removed its existence must be made known held up to view.
Why In this instance, in this single instance
there seems to be a sort of combination among public
men of all descriptions to establish an exception:
and the more enormous the abuse the more inexorable
seems to be the determination to perpetuate it
if possible rather than to suffer endure that disclosure
which would be necessary to the correction of it.
