Sole difference Whigs will perhaps be more anxious about encreasing their own aristocratical share
Under these circumstances the part acted by the two sections changes according to their situations at the time The men who /by whom/ now in the situation of corruptionists in expectancy their labours are employed in the endeavour to give to the quantity of the external matter /this same pretious matter/ of felicity thus employed the utmost possible encrease - of these same men supposing their situation changed from that of corruptionists in possession to that of corruptionists in expectancy the labours would be employed in the endeavour if not to give encrease to it to preserve it from decrease. So again in the opposite case. The men by whom in the situation of corruptionists in expectancy their labours are employed in the endeavour to effect a decrease in the quantity of this pretious matter thus employed - by those same men in the situation of corruptionists in possession their labours will be sure to be employed in the endeavour to give to it every possible encrease
These different parts opposite as they are, they are enabled if not altogether without manifest inconsistency, at any rate with a degree of inconsistency the concealment of which is in no small degree favoured by the nature of the case. For as to the quantity of the pretious matter in question it is naturally and essentially an indeterminate quantity. A man in the one situation may require ever so much of it without its being possible for a man in the other situation who admitts that there must be some of it, to prove by any exclusively applicable /conclusive/ arguments that the quantity so required is too great.

Title: [[clxiv. 188] 1820 June 23 Emancipation]Description: [clxiv. 188] 1820 June 23 Emancipation Spanish ? Interests Opposite H. Matter of delusive influence alike dear to Pure and Mixt Monarchists. In propagating this same delusion both sections of the ruling few, Tories and Whigs Corruptionists in possession and Corruptionists in expectancy, labour with equal sincerity and equal energy and equal sincerity. Why? because in so doing, both parties render as they well know equal service to their respective separate and sinister interests. So far as regards the aggregate of the instruments of felicity and in particular the matter of wealth what difference there is between them turns only on the quantity and the application By /On the part of/ the corruptionists in expectancy by those in whom the /whose/ imposture is most disguised - there obtains /has place/ /may be seen/ generally speaking and in the nature of their case, an endeavour to diminish the quantity of the matter thus applied. Of this endeavour there are two grounds: one is - the necessity of maintaining for themselves a place in the confidence and attachment of the subject many of maintaining on the part of the subject many the opinion that this section of the ruling few have really a common interest and accordingly a common feeling with them: the other is, the sense /a perception more or less clear/ of the decrease which the value of their own expectancy /expectation/ is exposed to by every accession given to /received by/ the quantity of their share of those instruments operating as it does of course in the character of an instrument of corruptive influence.

Title: [[clxiv. 190] 1820 June 23 Emancipation]Description: [clxiv. 190] 1820 June 23 Emancipation Spanish ?. Interests opposite Each party /The man on each side/ has moreover an argument when a Corruptionist in possession /expectancy/ which, without much prejudice to his /its/ reputation for sincerity he is /feels himself/ at liberty to make the most of. Whatsoever in corrupt hands might be the tendency or effect of the pretious matter in question if in corrupt hands, in our hands there is no danger in it, for our hands are pure ones. From the lips of an /a sincere/ advocate of the subject many if in such a place /situation/ any such advocate could be found one short /simple/ observation would remove all difficulty on the subject of quantity and reduce the corruptionists of both classes /sections[?]/ to silence. So applied as you concurr both of you /are both of you for applying it/ in the practice and endeavour quantity is out of the question - it is by the whole quantity of it that it is too much. Not a single particle of good does /is it in the nature of/ any quantity of it, great or small, so applied, to produce: not a single particle of it is there by which in greater or less quantity mischief is not produced.

Title: [1821 Letter VII Religion 18]Description: 1821 Letter VII Religion 18 6 The state of things therefore in which from an established Priesthood the Government can have any thing in the way of hostility to apprehend is but a forced and necessarily a temporary state of things. It is no other than that state in which a good or less bad government has recently suceeded to a worse: to a worse government with which the order of men in question was, as of course it could not but be, in connection, deriving from it a greater quantity of the external instrument of felicity than it could hope to enjoy under the recent and less beneficent or harmonious[?] form of Government. /In this state of things/ So long therefore as in its view of the matter a prospect remains of the restoration of the excluded bad government its affections[?] and endeavours will continue to be /operate/ on the side and in the endeavour to restore that same excluded government. But no sooner is it in their eyes sufficiently manifest that all hope of seeing the supremely bad government is at an end than they will go over and adhere to the Executive branch of the existing Government whatever it be: of the matter of wealth and of all other instruments of felicity whatsoever is the quantity in their hands, will be added to whatever stock of that same matter is in the possession of the temporal functionaries and in conjunction with it will be employed in the corruption and seduction of the peoples representatives and agent, and in establishing along with them a partnership interest employed in the giving continual encrease of /to/ the quantity of the matter[?] of wealth extracted out of the produce of the labours of the productive classes, and employed in giving encrease to the enjoyments of these productive and non-productive classes.
