import:mei of ennfolldattnt and arengthenina
the peace of the interior; of increafing the prof-
perity which the Colony began to enjoy, after the
tumults by which it was agitated; to make every
perfon acquainted with his rights and duties; and
to extinguifh every kind of diftruft ; in pretenting
a code of laws to which all interefts and affeaimii
(hall be united.
Such were the motives which made the General
in Chief convoke a Legiflative Affembly, whole
bufinefs it was to propofe to the French Govern-
ment that Conftitution moft convenient for the
Colony of St. Domingo. A few of the Members
of that Affembly wifhed to prolong th'e tumult of
their difcuillon ; but in the mean tune they wifbcd
to be furrounded with men of information and v:if-
dom, in order that a work of fuch great interetl
should appear the work of the whole Colony. 11
she Central Affembly has not completely fulfilled
the with of its Contlituents—if it has not attained
the objea which the General in Chief propofed,
will at leaft have done what circumftances
ted it to do. It has not been able to propot;.: at
one time all the changes which it could have dc-
fired. The Colony cannot arrive at its greatest.
profperity, except by flow degrees. A benel:t
which is to be hailing, muff operate by flow (k.
grecs ; in this refpe& it is neceffary to folluw
tare, which does nothing precipitately ; but uhicli
gradually matures its beneficent produEtions.—
Happy,. if this firft attempt (hill contribute to
i ameliorate the (late of its citizens, and obtain Ilteir
esteem and indulgence, as well as tefiimanles of
fatisfaftion on the part of France, Mould it even
fail of acquiring a certain perfeftion.
All the articles of the Conflitution have 1;:ca
difcuffed and decreed, without paffion,
or partiality ; and the mode of government has is
particular been adopted, as the only one fit, in the
prefent circumftances, to precerre the tranquillity
of the COlony, and restore it to its ancient fplca-
dour. In other refpeas, every two years the en.
fuing Central Affemblies may operate the changes
which time and experience fhall render =diary.
The CentralMembly bas not the vanity to believe
that it has propofed the heft poffible Conftitution ;
but it can fafely Rate) that all the Members of
whom it contifts, have uniformly been affefted by
the defire of doing good ; that they have the will;
of fecuring the aCtual tranquillity .of the Colony,
of rendering its profperity perManent, and of aug.
menting and proving their attachment to the Freud;
Governmpt.
