Constitut. Code
Ch. ___ Legislative
Attendance -- Unintermittant

Ch. 5. Legislative

1.
Sittings unintermitted
why?

Answer. Reasons.
1. To exclude boundless evil.
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 produced, 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.

2. Medical practitioner
not a day does he
withdraw from duty.
Medicinist's duty is to
exclude physical evil
on an individual scale.
Legislator's, moral on a
national scale.
Medicator has no day free.
Legislator may have one
day in seven free in
ordinary cases. To
medicator's functions, no
remuneration in the
shape of power in attached:
to legislator's, power
unbounded.

5.
In the Executive, in the
lowest order of clerks,
no unintermittedness
of attendance is regarded
