mos characteristic peculiar excellence of the system: — that
while he is pursuing his own interest, as every
man must be supposed and expected to do, he
is whether he will or no pursuing the interest of the
establishment. I have said, and I hope I have

personal interest to bind him to his duty will
will never perform
it to the best advantage
not long conti not long be fit for it. The true question is, is does
any thing personal interest in this case leave any thing to apprehend
from it? on the contrary, directed as it is,
does not every thing depend upon it? its influence? is not every
thing to be hoped for from the presence its action, every thing
to be feared from the want of it? In general
