Economy etc

In this state of things a /the/ Corrupter General sees before him two different sets of eventual corruptees: 1. the members of the Representative body constituting part and parcel of the supreme operative power; 2 the members of the supreme constitutive body those members of the community in whose hands is the supreme constitutive power with reference to those same representatives whose constituents they are /who acknowledge them/

It is by the representatives alone in contradiction to their constituents that the particular arrangements are continued or set on foot by which through the medium of the Executive department the sinister sacrifice is made /carried on/: by constituents as such no part can be taken in it. But on the will and agency of these same constituents will to /in/ a greater or less degree depend the composition of the body of these representatives and on /to/ this as on /to/ other occasions /purposes/ the conduct of the several members To their situation it belongs to provide that which is at once chief matter of corruption and chief matter of sinister sacrifice to the Executive Chief to make application and distribution of it, among the members of the Representative body, and his and their connections

Here then we have Corrupter General, one; the Chief of the State: in a mixt monarchy the Monarch, in a Representative Democracy the President: Eventual Corruptees two sets: corruptible on their own account the Representatives of the People: corruptible for the purpose of extending the corruption to the Representatives of the people, the people themselves in different constitutive bodies the people themselves in their character of constituents with reference to these same sharers in the supreme operative power - their Representatives
