§ 18.

These functions the Governor exercises for the benefit of all alike; they are not exercised by him for self aggrandisement, for the increase of his own fame and reputation: his only object in their exercise is the peace, welfare and prosperity of the people. This is the grand object: it is for this that Laws are framed; it is this that the Governor and all his officers must seek to promote.
