Fallacies
3
At the same time what will can not but frequently
be the case is — that the setting aside the expence and
the corruptive influence — the anti-economical and the
anti-constitutional influence, the measure in question
is a beneficial, perhaps little if any thing less than a
necessary and indispensible one
On this occasion the question dictated by the principle
of utility always is — which is on which of the
two sides of the moral and political account — the good side or the evil side
does is the balance in this case to be found: which of the two quantities
is the greatest? the good produced justly expectable from
the services all the expected to be rendered in virtue of
the office, or the evil justly expectable from the
addition made by the profit attached to in all shapes
and thence to the correspondent burthen imposed by it and
the addition made to the efficiency of the system of
mis-rule.
In this case the only way in which by the condemnation attack
made passed on the measures by the denomination of the
burthensome expence and addition to corruption addition made by it to burthensome expenditure and the stock
corruption found can be susceptible of the appellation of a
fallacy consists in the excess of the weight ascribed to the
the account, accompanied with the articles of go that belong to the good side of the account, accompanied
with the endeavour to keep out of sight if
possible, those that belong to the good side of the account,
or at any rate to cause them to be estimated at
less than their true weight: and it is of this endeavour
that intimation is made meant to be conveyed by the word blind.
