In general, I believe, it is much as usual—those sold in detail that afterwards will be sold in the representation—the ministers bribing Jacobites to choose friends of their own—the name of well-wishers to the present establishment, and patriots outbidding ministers that they may make the better market of their own patriotism: in short, all England, under some flame or other, is just now to be bought and sold.

Что-то я слабо понимаю то, что после "usual" и до "in short", особенно "those sold in detail that afterwards will be sold in the representation". Помогите, пожалуйста!
