conclusion is rather an extraordinary one; out we shall ad-
mit it. No one who ever witneased an Election will say that
it can be conducted without popular dissensions. To prevent
the consequences of these, the military must be called in.
In the present state of things an election, occurring so sel-
dom, produces but little mischief ; but were it to happen
' every year, the soldiery and the people would become mu-
tually irritated beyond reconciliation, and the question
would lie between popular anarchy and military oppression.
We give this only as one instance in which the foresight of
these gen..lemen is a little at fault. We should expect of
legislators who are so determined in their opinions, that
they would look steadily at all the consequences of their
measures. We find, however, that they have looked nar-
rowly enough at one side of the suhject, but they have
entirely forgotten the other. They have devised schemes
in abundance for increasing the democratic principle in the
Elections, but they have forgotten entirely the methods of
preventing its excesses; and their neglect in providing
means to restrain it, would speedily destroy it altogether.

Constantinople is requested to treat of peace between the Ottoman

5. That they shall be governed by the sane regulations, and

PROTEST ADDRESSED TO THE THIRD NATIONAL. ASSEMBLY
OP THE °REELS, AT EPIDAURUS, ON THE 12TH (24TH)

wease,lB24.
" Gentlemen—Both u a simple citizen, and as the author of the
present struggle, I owe to she nation, to my family, and to myself,
to express publicly my sentiments in a case which must decide the
fate of Greece. In resolving to demand the exclusive intervention
of the English Ambassador at Constantinople, to effect an accom-
modation between Greece and her tyrants, the National Assembly
departs from its sacred duties, and neglects the object of its union.
It was not to destroy our independence, but to consolidate and
perpetuate it, •at the nation, of which you, gentlemen, are the re-
!iresentatives, confided its full powers to you. History will one day
judge impartially of your action this day. When Europe feels
more than ever that our cause can no longer succumb under
the injuries of forture, how will It look upon the Plenipoten.
tiaries of Greece, signalizing themselves as they now are, by
an act, unheard of in the annals of nations, and proving to the
whole world that they alone are ignorant of their true situation.
Does the fall of lllissolonghi terrify you ? Trust. as at the be.
ginning of the struggle, to the well-known energy and patriotieni
of the nation. The breast of every Greek is a second Missolonglii.
Is it the want of resources that embarrasses you ? Make an appeal
to the generosity of the citizens : never did Greek remain deaf to
the voice of his country. Finally—ls money wanting ? Let us ratify
our debts. We stand in need of protection ? Let us have recourse to
the Sovereigns of all Christian nations. All of them, gentlemen,
have an equal claim to our gratitude. The circumstances in which
we are placed, and their situation, assure us of the wished-tor as-
sistance. It is in critical moments that great nations and true citizens
discover themselves. It is easy at all nines to be slaves. It is very
difficult to become free. Do we wish for peace? Let us run to
arms. If for reasons, of which I am ignorant, the National Assem-
bly persists in its first resolution, I think it one of my most sacred
duties to protest, and I do solemnly protest, in the face of all the
Greeks, and in the face of all Christian nations, against an act
which I regard as illegal, anti-lallenic; altogether unworthy of a
nation which has, perhaps, been conquered more than once, but
which has never treated with its tyrants. As a Greek, however,
'and as a sincere friend of the liberty of my country, I shall not
cease to combat in concert with my fellow-citizens, and to be ready
to shed the last drop of my blood as long as the war fur our inde-
pendence shall last.
(Signed) PRINCE DEbIETRIUS YPSILANTI.
