Law-Taxes
treat as other wolves are treated these wolves in mens'
cloathing, what shouldis there to take from the character of hinder the act from being a
virtue: this consideration only that enormities that
have their root in law, the law only can eradicate.
Were the present race to fall an universal sacrifice
to uncommissioned justice vengeance, the country would burthen in
not to be in the smallest degree alleveated relieved by it: tyrantsthrough one
race of tr would be swept away, but tyranny would sit as heavy and as firm
as ever.
Think of a set of men whose sole occupation,employment,
of an occupationemployment<add>position</add> it can be called is to do mischief
mischief and without the trouble of a thought ! mischief
in the highest degree and upon the largest scale: mischief to all mankind individually and collectively
collectively as well as individually: individually by
preventing the redress of private wrongs collectively
by preventing the prosecution of public deliquents
individually by preventing the redress of private wrongs
Note
(a) The first of the French legislatures, whenever as oftenthey had
as they wished to perpetuate a law which its own merits would they found
would not be all support itself by its own merits, used to decree
it a constitutional. In England let us hope, this
denomination let us hope will not be given at rate to the
institution of Law Sinecures, at least, whatever become be any the case
ofwith other SInecures.
