Rudiment — The sacrifice of even national interest to these summum
bonums is prescribed as a duty
But in international concerns interest should be the only word interposed.
Improbity is frequently the interest of an individual — never that of a nation
The mischief would be no worse, nor any other than
that of now inadequate an inapposite and inadequate incongruous
expression, if by the acquisition of these possessions
nothing else were either meant or supposed to be meant
than the advancement of the public and general interest
of mankind or even of the political state
to by which to the use of which all this stock of honour,
glory, fame, renown, and dignity was to be purchased.
But no: from any thing such thing of the nature of int
But no: no such when these radiant possessions
are in view, for of no such sordid object as that which
is designated by the term interest is any account to be
taken any provision made. To them on every occasion or though it is but to the hope of them
is that coarse and vulgar possession to be sacrificed: to that
on no occasion is any sacrifice of them the sacrifice of any the least particle of any of them ever to be
made
Add yet national interest may be more steadily undeviatingly and irrepr
unexceptionably pursued — pursued without danger to probity
or prudence than private interest. By acquisition of territory
by extinction conquest of private interest may be advanced: not so public, neither
by conquest nor by colonization: the interest of the ruling
few, yes: but not that of the subject many.
