Just so again is it as to the principle of succession in the case of the Chief functionary. What would you have it any other than the natural principle /the genealogical, the only legitimate principle/? Would you have him elected after every vacancy? No Not if you are in your senses Poland? Poland! by that one word are presented those considerations, by which all need of argumentation is superseded /laid out of the question/.

When a man who has four-legged beasts /Cattle/ /Cattle/ dies and leaves children they are either divided among his children, or if that scheme of division /distribution/

Still the same exclamations: still the same answer Look once more to the American United States. When the death of the President, or a vacancy in his seat has taken place, has his eldest son, or any other son his daughter, become President and take his place? /succeeded to that same seat./ No never: but another plan chosen on principles little different from those of radical reform, as exhibited in Benthams Radical Reform in six words, Secresy, universality, equality and annuality of suffrage. Well and has anarchy been in any instance the consequence? Anarchy or so much as injury in any shape to so much a single individual.

In Poland, when the death of a King took place, anarchy was or something but little different from it was for a length of time more or less considerable his constant[?] successor: anarchy was the result where it was by Election that the /a/ vacancy of /in/ the throne was filled Anarchy where the vacant seat was called a throne, anarchy. where it was called a Chair, quiet was the result. Such is the difference in the results: and in the cause of this difference is there any thing that is not compleatly obvious?
