whO aished to tecostr their liberty ; and slid gave
it in charge to the executive power to give orders to
the Generals of the French armies to aid all citizens

free institutions were not the offspring of our revu

in the free charters of self governments under
which t h e English colonies grew up and Revolution
only freed us from the dominion of a fare ice power,
whole government was at variance with those insti

training fur Felt government. and every eflitrt to es

Liberty uniegulated by law, degenerates into anar

It is not strange, however much it,May be regret

cause some individuals to mistake change fur pro.
