They de cinre solemnly, that those powers have directed the tempests that have wafted,' this kind ; that they have created all those conviillions which have agitated the bosom of the Republic ; that they, have twilled and torn asunder all the si news of iociety and relationlhip; that they have spirited up the parent againft 1 his child—the brother against his bro-! ther, and the wife against her husband.i " But let us rejoice—let us return thanks to God that we have served our country so well as to be deemed worthy of the poignard of tyranny. —The glory of incurring dangers belongs alio to lis.

" The fate of the Republic is not en- I'irely fixed, and the vigilance of theV ,jNational Representatives is more than vt , ever necessary. si " What constitutes a Republic ? Notlb* • victory, not riches, not power, not c< • temporary enthufiafin.

The Republic, in that cafe,- so far l rom repressing vice would give it a s vidtr range and a higher flight, and P . bus the reign of Tyranny would again • Dinmence ; for vice and Tyranny are in- j. , icparable companions. Whoever is n. ? mailer of himfelf, is made to be the flac. f, of others. Do you wi(h to know who a ,ire ambitious meii ? .Look at those who * are the pations of villains; the pro jectors of counter-revolhtionifts, the' proteflors of intrigues and confpiracu I, ( the fcorners of virtue, and the coriup- 1 '* ters of the public morals. a a " Attempts were made to involve the 1 ° Republic in confufion and chaos.
