Emancipation Spanish

? Interests Opposite

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.
