Disaffection — Disaffected. That a man is dis
with reference to the government — with reference to the aggregate
of those powers of government which are exercised, [and or with
reference to the persons of those by whom they are exercised,]
is commonly without any distinction made, stated as an
a matter of reproach, and possibly not improbably so loose is the general
texture of the body of our laws, real and fictitious taken together,
as a ground for special punishment, still the
same principle of delusion; still the same erroneous and
mischievous practical conclusions. inference.
In the first place supposing as well the whole frame of the
constitution government, as the character and frame of mind of the persons by
whom the powers of it are exercised uniformly good, what
a cause this of disaffection what a cause is it for punishment
or even reproach. Where is the man who has his whose affections are
at his own command? who with pleasure can think of that
which in his eyes is preponderantly upon the whole hurtful to him, with displeasure on that
which in his eyes is preponderantly upon the whole beneficial to him?
Looking into the constitution, in proportion as he sees any
points parts which in his eyes are beneficial to the universal interest
a man in proportion to his affection to the universal interest the degree of servicableness which in his eyes they possess belongs to them
will to as towards those points parts be affected well affected: lookin in proportion
as he sees any parts which in his eyes are prejudicial
to them, in proportion to the degree of disserviceableness which
in his eyes belongs to them will in proportion to his affection
for that same universal interest be disaffected. How can it
be? why should it be why is it desirable that it should be,
otherwise?
