Sinecures

If not in that, in In what then does it consist? In the not taking
of bribes, in the not never with an offer which
is never made, and which is never made, because no
man is ever weak enough to make an offer, the act which
a moments reflection suffice to assure him could never
be accepted without subj the acceptor placing himself placing the acceptor in
a state of constantly impending ruin at the pleasure
of a man who would thus be as effectual compleat a master
over the judge as a Planter is over his slave.

The purity of the Judges! And of this purity,
let it consist in what it will, wherein consists the proof?
In the multitude of assertions, and in the non-existence
of all denials.

As to the assertions, we have seen from where they came
and to what end they are made, not to speak of the
glympses which in spite of the assertions, has been gained
of the ground in which they stand.

As to the absence of denial, if for argument sake
the denial ever in this case consistent with truth, from
what quarter should it come?

In the conduct of this or that Judge Suppose that for argument sake any thing were remiss and
that I were suppose me to to speak of it: who is it that would be punished
for it? Not the author of the offence the doer offencer of the act the Judge but myself, not he for
doing it what was done, but myself for speaking of it.
