Dispensing Despotism
Official Anarchy
When a man in office, especially a man of a narrow mind
has been engaged by habit in a long course of depraved despotism
and depravity, the idea of what ought to be
his official will becomes at last so intimately associated
with the actual personal will produced by the
fancied interest or convenience of the moment became
so intricately associated that the difference between the
two objects is at length almost wholly obliterated in
his own mind.
Hence it is that Mr Long after having given
or been privy to the giving secret deputation
contrary to the public official directions
given in form under the authority and with the priority
of the Board – had seems at length to have arrived at such
a pitch of insensibility as scarce to be conscious of
any impropriety in the course of treachery corruption
and anarchy thus pursued. What he did , as the
instrument and with the consent – and general
at least if not particular and expressed of the former
Minister – the chief principal member of the Board. What
was the public official will of the Board, but the virtual
Will of the Minister its chief Chief Lord? What was the secret unofficially declared
will, but the will the equally genuine will of the
same person? Where was the repugnancy between the two
wills? Is there any thing of repugnancy inconsistency or impropriety
in a mans changing his mind under when
circumstances change.
