There were two fobjcas before the ouneil—Cea- Naniov and CivilDratA, or, assve fay, forfeiture and corruption of blood. Enough had alreadybeenfaid to prove the impolicy of -the firft. Citizen CHI- N re remarked, and he contented himfelf with giving -a fhort recapitulation of the arguments ' which had been advanced againft it by thofe who went before him. He then proceeded !hall ' not attempt to add to the force of this reafoning, thinking it irrefragable. I pars on to the emit deration of Civil Death. This fyftem (bikes me •as monfirous and abfurd. We have prefented to us the contradiaory idea of a man dead according to law, and whom, for fome purports, the law ' iimporet to be Rill alive. If, legiflators, you were merely infignificant and defers, Mee that muff be,, , it would matter comparatively little. But an ex amination of the terrible excommunication which follows civil death, thews that in agreeing to it ' you would likewife be guilty. It feparates the ' inifband from the wife—the father from his chil- • dren. An affalionate and virtuous woman re- ' mains conllant to her hufband, and Ai& him to fupport the miferics of his condition, the is no longer but a concubine, and the children of this cou whole misfortunes perhaps have only drawn ' doter the tics which united them, are branded with baftardy. We have heard much ofreligion. Here I feel that the gravity of this tribune calls upon me to weigh well all my expreill'ans. The fame pi inciple on which I (hall ever boldly oppofe a do mineering religion, calls upon me tteadily to de fend the perfea liberty of religious opinions. Is this liberty refpeaed in this protea ? Two indivi. duals joined at the altar of Ilymen, consider their marriage as indiltoluble. In defpite of this belief, in violation of this imperious feutiment, of thofe iinpretfed by religious ideas, the law tliddenly 'breaks in pieces there eternal ties ; it forces this woman to Rain her reputation or to-wound her cculeience, to become a :limpet, or a perfon guilty of facrilege.—This woman willies to devote herfelf to the misfortunes of her holt:and, to eat along with him the bread they have watered with their tears, to he to him another univerfe : and you think that from this union nothing can fpring but illegitimate fruits. After having tried to ex,. tip uilb cork:gal, filial and paternal love—after ing violated every dictate of honour, and every fetniment of nature, you would thus punith in the Ina the cremes of the father. Legiflators, let us f.. 1, om us—let us rejea from the civil code the French this impious regulation. Do not vent your rage againft that which is not yet in exiflence. 1 of calling a nor upon the de votion of vi to venerate all that is fliblime. I Mall not ex :mine the collation of celebrated cafes, to fee e law never punifhes the inno cents 1 wifh all Judgeswerelearned,intelligent, and equitable. I with that noo the ct holm' ever I were condemned. This is :t miferanle fivtiun. In trying to give ideal death all the horrors of real death, the law Nullities an itatocent woman, who is bound by her rligion, aid the fidelity the has (worn, to alliil, to comfort, and folace her huf band, to follow him, and to live with him through life, at all 11:alor;, and in all cir:umflances. gillators, as vena arc lovers ofjultice, in puniluing vice do not laiaith virtue, do not overwhelm in nocence. Who has told you that the child, born of a condemned hatband and a faithful wife, which you de..lare illegitimate, may not pne day tikome a griao. man? Who has told you, that the fon of an abandoned oi iminal may not one day prove the favioor of his country ? But it is not enough to deprive them of the hononr of Citizenlhip.— TW law firetching its fatal effotls Rill farther than under the ancient order of things, likewife de pi ivcs them of the benefit they might derive from the indullry and exertions of their condemned fa , . they. No' dillinaion is made whether the fortune left by the unhappy wretch is coefiderable or tri fling. If it is eontiderable, to confifcate it thews a clifgraccful cupiditlt nhich degrades the law to enrich the treafury ; :f trifling, it betrays a fordid tlifpofition to pillage the widow and her children of the miferable pittance, on which alone they de pend for fu port. It is faid the Government re ferves to itfelf the ptiwer of affifting them. The power !—What ! thall we have what is arbitrary even in the Civil Code ?. If the Government has tl.c power of giving, bat it net likewife the power of withholding ? It can (hew mercy then to the wi dow, and none. to the children; to the :children, and not tolls; widow ; to collateralhand not to thelineal heirs! It can grant the whole. or deal out only a pasts If it is patmiil to find penal provifions in the Civii Code, how Much more painful is it to. find them when the offences they ire meant to prevent, . an Ito punith, are vague and unfpecified, and where l a . catirthot be of a very deep die. Thole con 'Vied of coon:nom orioles are fintoqed to death, ; , • . • • •• • ' • ' to deportation, and to pirpetual iMprifonment.— Taunes, let all the guilty fuffer ; but do not erea defpaiiinto iffyßem ; do not invoke an eternity of punifittnem ; do, not kindle a hell upon earth.
