to do otherwise: why will the honourable gentlemen
for the sake of a little popular effect use words
which are calculated to make us think otherwise.
Why will How can gentlemen orators to catch the momentary plunder for the sake of superficial thinking
have the resolution to declaim compose and speak
and write and send to push for the
gross insinuation the fallacy of which must all the time have been
staring them in the face? can there be true policy
in this? or lasting reputation served by it? The
commissioner dependent for these salaries is the very
receiver which their decision is to substantiate get in. Dependent?
how? with a commissioner in such a
case have given a farthing more for by convicting than
if he had acquitted? No: but the revenue is the
fund he draws upon; so that if the revenue instead
of producing so many millions were to produce
nothing it might be a doubt whether he would
have his salary: and thus it is that the assertion proposition
of about his dependence though most perfectly false for every purpose of the argument is true in a
sense in which it is nothing to the purpose! and
this is the way in which these Commissioner Judges
are parties against the accused: and on this is the
foundation is built the triumphant esoteric question
how then shall he escape conviction. What would
have become of this logic and this rhetoric if
the Commissioners of different boards had crossed their hands
