It can proceed only from the groleil prejudice; from thc envy we are too apt to entertain for perfons of attainments fuperior to our own ; cr thc malignant infinnations' of thofe who from fa&ipUfi or other unworthy motive* would perfuade the uninformed part of the commu¬ nity, that they whofe education and habits ot life qualify them heft for this important talk, are dilpufed to feel; their individual ad¬ vantage, by fucrififiug the interell of their couflituents ; carefully keeping out of fight tlie important circumUance that they mult be bound by the Laws which they aflifl in making for others, A piece in your ]aft paper, tinder the fig- nature of Care, is evidently intended to ope¬ rate upon fuch prejudices, and foment fuch groundlefs jealoufics.
