1823. June D 4
Constitut. CodeIII. Rationale is to
Ch. 3. Constitutive
Universal dislocative, why
Corruption
(4
26 or 1.
Corruption by remuneration, evil effects
abstracted, is not evil,
but good. Conferring and
receiving benefit, both are
good.
27 or 2.
Impossible is compleat
prevention of corruption:
viz. here and there a
breach of trust produced
by remuneration etc.
28 or 3.
Possible is prevention
of evil effects perceptible
on a national scale.
29 or 4.
Evil effects are all
reducible to depredation
and oppression.
Both excluded, end of
government attained.
30 or 5.
In limited Monarchy,
to no comparatively
great extent can
corruption, by intimidation,
extend: limits
are set to it by
Monarch's inferior partner's
care for their own
Security: rather than it
should apply to them,
they would call on the
people to change the
Monarch, or the form of
Government, or both.
31 or 6.
Here it is mostly
confined to intimidation,
by fear of loss of benefit
received from Monarch.
---page break---
32 or 7.
Thus then as being the
sole effectual preventive
of corruption in high functionaries,
the universally applying
dislocative in people;s
hands is the do. of
depredation & oppression.
Corruption it will so
far reduce as to prevent
all oppression, and all
sensible and considerable
depredation.
33 or 8.
It may determine choice
between Candidate and
Candidate equally apt.
Example. Locator
obtains Locatee's daughter
with a fortune: or
marries his daughter without
a fortune to Locatee,
or his son.
34 or 9.
— or if two apt
candidates, it may cause
the less apt to be
preferred: and thus cause
the location of a
Candidate comparatively
unapt.
35. or 10.
But scarcely will it
ever cause the location
of a Candidate
absolutely unapt.
By fear — not only of
dislocation, but even
of censure from Public
Opinion Tribunal,
will this be prevented.
---page break---
36 or 11.
So long as absolute
inaptitude i excluded,
friends of mankind
have little cause for
regret.
37 or 12.
Compare this state
with that of England.
In the seat of highest
power, Judicial and
miscellaneous, a
demonstrated and self
confessed compleatlyunapt functionary
(Eldon) retained.

Morn Chron same
day in May 1823, on
thereabouts.
