3. A Council Of State formed Of the most dis
tinguished men, preparing the laws and uain-
tanning the discussion before the legislative
corps.
"a. A Legislative Corps discussing and voting
the laws named by universal suffrage, without
the scrtdin de Liste, which ialsi6es the cleo
ton.
"5. A second Assembly formed Of all the ill
usirious persons Of the nation--a preponderating
power, guardian of the fundamental pact and Of
public liberty.
This system, created by the First Consul,
in the beginning Of the present century, has al
ready given TO France repose and prosperity. II
guarantees them still. Such is my profound
conviction. II you partake in it, declare so by
yonr suffrages. IL, on the contrary, you prefer
a government without force, monarchical or re-
publican, borrowed from some chimcricaI future,
reply in the negative.
"Thus, then, for the first time since 1910,
you will vote with complete knowledge of the
fact and knowing for whom and for what you
vote. If do not obtain majority Of the votes,
I w;Il sun;aon acw Assembly sn9 ley down
before it the mission have received from you.
But il you believe that the cause Of which my
name is the symbol--that is France regenerated
by the Revolution of S9 and organised by tho
Emperor-is still yours, proclaim it to be so by
ratifying the powers demand of you.
'Thus France and Europe will be preserved
from anarchy; obstacles will be removed; rival
ries will have disappeared; for all will respect,
in the will Of the people, the decree Of Proyi-
dence.
