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.
