As to the odium, in intensity and extent it will be exactly in the ratio of the

degree in which the qualities /attributes/ of probity and intelligence /moral

and intellectual aptitude/ have place in in the community. By no government

which is not an enemy - an uncontrovertible enemy to the rest of the community,

can any such endeavour be ever or any where employed: by every such endeavour an

avowal is made of such enmity, consequently of such /its own/ inaptitude, and

consequently of its being the interest of all who are subject to it to put it

down with all possible speed and by whatsoever means promise to be at the same

time the most efficient and in respect of evil in all shapes least expensive: an

avowal not in words indeed /it is true/, but in deeds: in deeds by which of the

state of the agents mind on every occasion is afforded to such a degree

conclusive, that evidence the most probative that in the nature of the case can

be given by words alone shrinks into insignificance: and in truth amounts to

nothing at all when opposed to the abovementioned practical evidence.

    Of this same disadvantage the factitious causes are those which are produced by

    prohibitions and restrictions imposed by governments.

    In every government but a democracy, the interest of the ruling few being in a

    state of opposition to the universal /general/ interest, the consequence is that

    in every government but that one, the class of functionaries beholds in the

    Public Opinion Tribunal not a support, but an adverse power: a power capable of

    becoming superior to its own - capable not only of opposing limits to it but

    even in case of necessity of extinguishing it, and commonly the only one that is

    so: the only one without exception, on the supposition that the political state

    in question has /sees/ nothing of this sort to fear from any foreign State or

    States.

    Hence consequently with the governing /supreme operative/ body of every state

    but that one it is a constant object to throw in the way of such communication

    so far as applied to political purposes - i.e. so far as applied to the

    formation of Sub Committees of the unofficial judicatory in question, every

    difficulty /obstruction/ possible.

    In the course of /To/ this endeavour it finds two natural obstructions

    /counterforces/ and difficulties: the odium inseparably attendant on it; and the

    obstructions thrown in the way of communications for the purpose of such

    transactions as are regarded as being serviceable to its interests, and as such

    approved of.
