Constitutional Code
To those sages of the law and guardians of public morals
Acts perceived or unperceived have been this evil evil in those shapes to the rest of
the community, good in those shapes to themselves. If perceived
what shall be said of their moral aptitude, if unperceived, of their
intellectual aptitude.
As to moral aptitude, made matchless constitutes
by as often as official duty came upon the carpet nothing do you have in either house but as on the part of all purchasers in privateso on the part of this in a more measure and degree mutual reciprocal and
attestation and laudation of but millions points of ,
immaculate and spotless purity, and of the calumniousness
of those discourses by which the opposite turpitude is spoken
of as actually in actual or so much as possible. In whatsoever
occasion profit is derived by those same ruling few from the misery of the subject
many, A parallel case would be never is it for the sake of the profit that the deal
is done never is the thirst of more of profit the motive by which
the act has been produced, always some other motive, named denominated
or undenominated in is named, to which the epithet pure and purest are capable
of being and accordingly are annext bestowed.
As to intellectual aptitude, if those things which
to unlearned eyes are so plainly visible have always been have to such preeminently
have always been learned eyes always been and still are invisible,
what shall be thought of the value and of all their recondite
and peculiar learning by which they stand distinguished?
from other men whose place is at the same degree on the scale
of wealth education and power and of the necessity notice by which if a long continued
course of such practice guided by such discernment is pronounced
a matter an advantage qualification of such indispensable necessity to the qualifying a man for
the situation in wh administration of justice?
Note th well, how lately it was that the of a
wickedness in all shapes in so far as committed by the hands of Judges
not being yet in the opinion of those on whom it depended sufficiently
high and operative, the power of parliament was employed in giving
to it if along with unexampled and now perfected stability indefinite
exercise: to and the Judges paid for one simple given for surrendering the right of sale, and⊞ ⊞ fro the same habitual
advantage at least equal
continued to the same
men for the same practice
men under the name
of gift: as of profit
by income to a given amount
received for himself by a father placed by age at the verge of the green was not exceeded by income to the same sinecure given by him to a son when as placed by age at the greatest distance from
that cause of termination extinction the same profit
advantage
