4. Annuality
Subordinate this to
universality, as that
to genuineness and
thence to secrecy.
Manys interest sacrificed
to few's,
the more frequent the
renewal of the sacrifice,
so do of vexation
and expence.

4 Fourthly and lastly as to annuality of suffrage. Of this
element feature the plan as it is subordinate in the scale of importance (it) is subordinate
to that of universality, as both together are to [that of]
freedom and genuineness and thence of to secrecy. If in its
composition the representatives body be such, as determines causes it
at all times to sacrifice to the interest of the corporation of
the ruling few of which it makes a part the interest of the subject
many, any frequency of renewal has little better or
other and better effect than a correspondent repetition of
all comprehensive vexation and expence.

Under Irish Association
ultra-annuality:
representation
(delegates) recallable
at any time: this
the result of the absence
absence of preestablished
regulation
such as parl reform
implies.

Be that as it may, if democratic ascendency as
manifested during the prevalence flourishing state of the Irish Volunteer
system not simply annuality of Election but ultra-annuality
had place. Under In the case of democratic ascendency, as
co it would be regularly organized and permanently established
in the instance case of the Commons House under and by virtue
of a system of radical reform, certain times would of course be appointed at which
the Electors should be called upon to raise the signification
of their wishes, would of and thus correct any er imperfection
which in this or that instance may might have been
produced by a less auspicious felicitous choice. In the case of the
associ self-formed body in question, its composition and
operation not having been the result of any preestablished
arrangement, no such simultaneous and periodical faculty of change
having to each individual in secure possession of the situation in the during
which interval between change and change one Election term and another would naturally
present itself. The result was a still greater degree of per impermanence
than under the arrangement in the case of of annuality of suffrage: a
still
still greater degree of
impermanence, and
thence a still closer
dependence on the part of
representatives, of the
good opinion and will
[and real or supposed] and self-supposed generally supposed interest of constituents.
