We approach the wilhed tur period when we mnv do (rood with out fearing calumny, when the true friends of the people will no longer be cxpoCed to private hatred. Liberty lias attained man's edate : it is emanci pated, and no one can longer keep it in leading firings. We lhall not again fee those times when the table of the rights of man (hall be like the imp of a loft country : it has been too long ftifpend ed by the dictators as a trophy of the victory obtained over public liberty. " The tyrant held France completely under his dominion: he is puniflied.— Immediately by means of the liberty <>f the prefa the public opinion was formed and unfolded : the law breaks its fetters, and the Jacobins of the 9th Thermidor regarded that liberty as a comet prefacing their approaching ruin. They were not trsiftaken ; the people 1 precipitate themselves towards their ca vern, the throne of anarchy is iliaken, it totters and fails in ruins. *• Yon then felt the iieceHity of set ting wife limits to that impetuous over flowing of the popular indignation.— i As ingenious in your jnlt.ee as the tyrants were in their cruelties, you cre sted protecting forms by which to judge the accomplices of the tyrant.

" The fadtion of men of blood is not yet deflmyed : now it (hews it "elf in the person of a man who menaces to af faffinatc his colleagues ; now under the ionn of a hbelliil, who tears you to pie ces every morning ; now under that of Gracchus, who pieiohes up infurrc&i d'.i again ft von I will paint that fa£ti in which (fill has its Ctulthon, in a Ro man Catholic Priest who aceufes me of having attacked the rights of man ; and its Saint Jnft, in a jew, whodreffes me up in his conceits, who has covered the walls of Paris withapiece of abuse which 1 have viftoriotifly answered. " You mult have been sensible of the perversity of my calumniators and their want of truth. Abuse is an honour to those who have invariably (hewn them selves the friends bf the people, when they originate with those who have al ways fliewn themselves their opprefTors. When I spoke of the manner in which the declaration of rights was. drawn up, they frid that I attacked it. When I printed that the conllitution of 1793 was like Pygmalio and that it wanted but the torch of Prometheus to give it animation, they said that I attacked it. " Having shared with feve al of my colleague 1 ! in' the Itoriour rtf having re- j conquered Toulon, they printed muti- > litid extracts of letters written under j the fear of my recal, and of my being ; replaced by the ferocious Conthon ; 1 j did not touch a (tone, and they paint i -trie ps having demolished buildings ; I j , liSVe spared the blood of Frenchmen, j(ndthey reorefent me as a like Carrier, like Collot. " But what is all this to me ; they cannot annihilate truth, they (hajl not j triumph over liberty, they lhall not save the great leaders of the guilty : for that is the end of iheir endeavours. In rain ,<lo they fit by themselves in one of ihe rvill elevated corners of tins fanftuary ; they affect the e\-teriors of indigence ■and patriotism ; their perfidy is well Jtq.own, and it is known that ihev keep lip criminal vorrefpondences with the ■South, and that they stir lip tu infiir •diion all heads volcaniz.ed bv the fe rocipufnefs of Robespierre, or by the eat of the climate.
