3. The moral or popular sanction – is that which is commonly called
public opinion – it is the received decision of society on conduct. The popular
sanction is may be divided into two branches the democratic & aristocratic awarding a very different portion
of recompense or punishment to acts of a similar character. A sanction
by every instance of its execution constitutes & executes a law, – & the
laws constituted by the Aristocratic branch are over a great portion
of the field of conduct in repugnance to those constituted by the
AristoDemocratic. In misdeeds affecting persons, for example, – the democratic
sanction tolerates boxing, – the trying to hurt, not duelling, trying to kill, –
while the aristocratic tolerates & rewards actions trying to kill. Of
misdeeds affecting property, the democratic sanction gives preference to
the debts of due to a tradesman over those due to a gamester. The aristocratic
sanction decides directly the reverse. The Democratic sanction would punishes
swindling in all its shapes. The Aristocratic rewards it in the case &
situation of a man of landed & entailed estate. In the democratic
scale of reprobation the mischievous stands above the ridiculous –
in the aristocratic the ridiculous above the mischievous. The
Democratic refers, – or is at least constantly tending more & more to
refer every thing to the standard of utility – to the greatest happiness
principle – the aristocratical as much, as far & as long as possible
to the standard of taste – as constituting itself the arbiter of taste.
