1823. June 12.
Constitut. Code
Ch. ___ Legislative
Attendance --
Ch. 5. Legislative
1.
Sittings unintermitted
why?
Answer. Reasons.
1. To exclude boundless wvil.
By non-application of the
appropriate remedies to
incidental evils during the
interval of inaction, no
saying what quantity of
evil may have been produced.
Of evil thus produces, rare
accident alone brings to
light the cause.
To excess of business, or
any cause but the true
one, is ascribed the effect
of indolence or negligence.
2.
2. To exclude corruption:
viz. by occupying the time
necessary for promiscuous
thence for corruptive
intercourse.
Contagious the atmosphere
a Legislator breathes. The
more his time is occupied
in study, the less remains
for exposure to corruption.
"John, while you draw
the Beer, keep whistling."
3.
Objection. No man of
worth will submitt to
restrictions so irksome
and degrading.
Answer.
1. Put aside all such
vague designations:
for man of worth say —
endued with adequate
appropriate aptitude
in all it's branches.
Then say no such man
will decline such
restrictions: regard them as
degrading or even irksome.
Of want of such
aptitude, such declining
would be proof
conclusive.
