Constitutional Code
Ch.
S.
If the existence of men of this class is
matter of absolute necessity and that it is so
will be seen to be undeniable, why hold them
up thus to universal suspicion? If bad otherwise,
will not a stigma of this sort have the
effect of making them still worse? Will it not
keep out of the possession men who have a regard
or character, and thus keep it stocked with men
who, having no character to lose, will thence be
but the more daring and the more mischievous?
Answer. True it is, that their existence is matter
of absolute necessity. But as to the effect of the arrangements
having for their object the preventing
them from making sacrifice as far as may be,
of the interest of their clients and the rest of the
public to their own private and sinister interest,
the effectiveness will be the reverse of that which is above
stated as being to be apprehended.
That in the situation in question, as in every
other, man, unless in so far as prevented by the
arrangements of Law & Government, will in general
be disposed, and will accordingly be in the
constant endeavour to make sacrifice of every other
interest to his own particular, howsoever sinister
interest, is no more than what, on this occasion
as on every other, might be assumed and acted
upon. Such being theeffect, which the disposition, will and endeavour,
of the individual will be constantly at work in the production of,
all that for the prevention of it can be done, is to diminish,
& as far as possible, take away, the power. But
