reaching perfection as nearly as any hu.
man SYSTEM can reach, deserves to be
universally admired and adopted; twill
surprise those persons, we say, to find
that the only parole evidence adduced is
that Of the prisoners themselves they

furnish the tribunal with all the particu-

their operations. 81 &. =. 9.
The principal wines against Moreau,
is a man of the name of Roland, who
gave evidence of some expressions al
lodged to have been used by Moreau
who, to question put to him by Piche-
Ogrue, replied; "that if they would act ae-
Eording to his opinion, the ;consuls and
the government of Paris must disappear,
and in that case he had party strong e.
nough." Moreau positively denied hav-
ing made use Of any such expEsssions.--
ROLAND persisiing in asserting that he
had. Moreau then suggested that Roll
land had endrayoured to criminate him,
for the purpose OF saving himself
suggestion, in all probability, but'too
well founded. Piehegrue was the only
man who could have eontradieted Rol-
land; and Bohapsrte knowing this, took
care that Pichegrue should disappear.--.
Moreau's evidence is in the same spirit
with his letter. The Polignacs and Geor-
ges appear to conduct themselves with
great dignity and htmness. ...--:

No Republic Of the many which have
existed has stood. All, have fallen in
the very same way, and by the treaehe-
rcus hand of the same hypocritieal assas.
sin. - Democracy breeds ldemagogues,
dsnagogues make and spread lies these
excite passions and kindle bonfres which
light the Republican First Consuls TO the
throne, and the true patriots TO martyt-
dom. Inaword, licentiousness DESTROYS
republics, and he is the true republican,
the friend Of liberty who sets himself a.
bout to restrain Righteousness. But as
this work would restrain demagogues,
they loose no time TO destroy or which Is
the same thing to render unpopular the
man who would curb licentiousness.
Accordingly the business Of confusion
beginsby confounding names and he who
aggTaSates the known and fatal dangers Of
liberty is scaled arepubiican, and he who
tries, his utmost to lessen those dangers
is called the enemy of liberty. He is
preferred who giids and sweetens poi

seemingly so strange, nevertheless Il
ever successful. Already our liberty
has lost Its best props. The constitution
has no longer an independent Judiciary

dictates; and whose win isas little OBJ.
