Emancipation Spanish

' Creolia rule Spain

Creolia should rule Spain

Well then and this greates number in which of the two hemispheres is it to be found?

I say in Spanish America /the American/ The proof in the annext Table

Even were the Table not true today, it will /would/ be seen to be true t omorrow:

tomorrow if your rulers and you do not attempt to cramp the population cramp it by

incapacity or by design if your rulers do not use their endeavours to cramp it: and

even if they do

Well but are the proportions - there is the greatest number. Now if as to their

/the/ greatest happiness of the greatest number which is likely to provide best for

it? those whose happiness it is or some other person? those who think mostabout it or

those who think least about it

We love you better than you do yourselves. So you may say to those Creolians: but do

you expect to be believed?

We think more about your tinterests than you do yourselves? So you may say to these

your kinsmen. But where do you expect to find evidence? among them or among what

others

"We understand what is for your happiness better than you do: so you may say to

these your kinsmen. But let third persons think and say what you will, thin you that

the persons interested /person thus spoken to/ do you think they will either think of

say so?

Thus /Oh yes Such/ is the language of all tyrants when theyy condescend to endeavour

to become imposters. This is what in /within/ their dispute with the public many is

assumed assumed in all because by the ruling few It is because they understand so

well what is for our interests, and we not, that those by whom we are plundered and

oppressed, plunder us.
