States for the 9th April next In order to adopt with
them the measures for the regeneration of Germany,

time great events occurring at Vienna would essentially
facilitate on the one hand the execution OF our prosc
and on the other hand would render their prompt
cution indispensable After these important events We
believe It right to declare before all not only before
Prusria but before Germany III such be the will OF God
aud before our assembled pespe what the PROPOSE
lions which have resolved to make to German
Confedsrstss Before all, demand that Germany be
transformed from of States into federal
State. We admit that that supposes reorganization Of
the federal Constitution which can only be put into sx
ecuon by the union of the princes with the people and
that in consequence previous federal representation
must be formed Of all the States OF Germany, and be
couvoked Immediately. Wv admit that such federal
representation renders constitutional institutions OF the
German States necessary in order that the members
Of that sit side by side with equal
rights. We demand military system Of generel defspoce
for Germany initiated in its essential parts from that
under which Prussisn armies have conquered innu
mersbe aures in the wars of liberty We demand thai
the German army be united under one single federal
banner and We hope 10 SEQ federal general In chief o.
