Is it unobserved - then where is its utility?

a to a reflecting mind are assisting exemplification of the degree of debasement

and thraldom and into which [the] mind of the bully] of the

community has been plunged reduced by the interested artifice of a

small part of it:

by blind prejudice, and in no small a degree by

reason and regard to public welfare general ability.

Take Address yourself to any man, and without appreciation

of the application you mean to make, ask

him whether in his lying is a beneficial and laudable,

or even an innocent practice, he will look

you in the face, and ask you about you take him for.

Ask him whether lying then being it seems as being

a practice not to be approved of, its title to

approbation becomes in every degree unproved by the

circumstance by which from simple lying converts it is converted it into

perjury - he will beseech you to inform him at

once where a series of questions begin as designed ,

and to think better of him than to suppose any

direct affection in him first necessary to the making known

to you those Sentiments.

Ask him whether no his corruption of the weakest

be conducive to the ends of justice that a person in

the status of a Judge should be trussed up in the basket

of as and for his opinion - an opinion contrary

to literary arts - with a smile or a frown, according

to the general tenor of his mind, or the transfer in which your question

finds him, he will find means to let you know ... nor you to find instead that to

a question of such a complication an express answer is not to be insisted upon or expected.
