AS stated before, the poor people had every duty,
but rights; and proposed that rights should at
once be conceded. and that every man possessing
the franchise shouid, according his means, contri-
butte the public necessities. This carried
unanimously. The third plan was, that the people
should be admitted Immediately to all rights of fran
chise, not only to the election of members of Par
lament but also for magistrates and other public
tunctlonarles. But now, when all the people were
admitted to the franchise, half million of persons

responsible ministry, emancipated the peasantry, or
dained that the mobiles should participate with the
peasanty in all public duties, and that all should
have the franchise both for members OF Parliament
and for county meetings. These laws were brought
by deputaton headed by the Archduke Palatne,uP to
Vienna. He asked, in the of the future OF Hnnga-
yand of the peace of Austria, that these terms should
be granted We ordered to bring our claims be-

give fetteed brethren of Austria their rights At
that time there doubt and hesitation in every |
country except this which having made one glorious
revolution, finds the principles then established suth-
cient to carry out every necessary change. Here
then, everything quiet, while on the continent
all was movement. The government hesItated to 1
concede these just claims. l went myself to the i'm
