What wonder too, that the individual not having
been seeured in Spain in the enjoyment Of all his priv
ilegee should have become dstrustfu of himself aud
eek from Governments and from the State that which
they have always been poweress to give HIN Even
now after thousand proofs Of Impotence and IL
capacity, there not wanting those who would arm
the State with omnipotent power thet i. may aneliO
rate the condition OF classes whose misery we have seen
aggravated whenever il has attempted to do 80. Let
ne not forget that the State, like the horse Of Atts
makes that ground barren where It has planted lts

authority true reforms 10 be effected That life
which power lends to systems always fictitious and
insecure only that which the creative interest of the
individual communicates TO them be real and con-
tDue through all the periods of theT development.
All this would have been avoided without trouble if
TIE people Of SPAIN fixing their attention rather the
truth Of principles and tnings than the phsntasm of
proper nsuee had not esped forward 10 those bloody
eombss which fill the Cleric annals of our liberty,
without previous knowledge of the reeult which
they desired. and without having well psemeditsted
The means of securing the nights which they were &c
9uiriDg with their blood.
To-day this Europe so many times deceived in The

people if il show not sef worthy of that TO which God
bss called it, Never, snail it fad pardon IN
history; it will have deserved beforehand the CON
tempt and the scofs Of the generations, II after such
terrible and often repeated experience il snail not

spectacle which the party that has HonoPolized the

Is not then a matter Of convenience il is first,
necessary that before calling the people TO the COR
bat thing always easy to be done, because 10 taelr
hearts beats for the noble sentiment Of tSeir
liberty and their independence, all engaged in the
great work should be OF accord, not merely to
the principles which the revolutionary government
ought TO proclaim, but a. TO the principal means
well which ought TO be adopted from the fret instant
of its existence in order to render every retrocesson
impossible, f uDong with mind resolved the tolid and
iLdestruc;ible basis Of the rule of the people.
So the men who are called by the Conscience Of tle
people to nsugurate among us the grand Democratic
system shsl know with exscttude toe precise formula
Of the principles whch they to lay down. ana the
Tef.rms which they are to put in operation Oh the

And 80 also there will be rendered impossible these
UBIQUITOUS Vaccinations of the reaction to corrupt and
pervet che work OF revolutions exciting DIV sons snu
sowing discord among tue purest republicans, and
hiding themselves with the mask of an exaggerated
and hypoorcs patriotism to work more securely the
ruin of the liberty OF the people.
Moved by such patriotic impulses, animated by
desire 20 prevent new reverses, in order to avoid
grave inconvenience and 10 this time the per-

which the Government Of the Revolution should

An easy task, if all democrats be fret agreed, aud

The Junta therefore believe thai, wherevec the in
surrectiona movement takes place, and wherever
Juntss revolutionary powers are established there
should be immediately proclaimed, es the political
form Of the State, the Democratic Republic; that
there should also be decreed immediately and every

Individual security and inviolabity of domiciIe and
Of correspondents;
Liberty Of the press without deposit or edito-, or
penalty OF any sort;
Liberty Of assemblsge and of association for all pur-
Dsees-moral, intellectual, POLITICAL industrial and re-

ties;
Liberty Of labor and industry Of every description,

Religious liberty.
ARD not only should tne government or heVoiS-
tonary Junts secure sll these Liberties, but at the

vent their violation by anybody, beginning with the
supreme authority.
National sovereignty is also fundamental prin-

by all
Al practical conservation of this principle, the
Revolutionary Government should declare:
That the sovereignty Of the people is the legitimate
origin of all public powers;
That oil powers are elective;
That universal suffrage is the necessary form Of
