ire as completely two systems, and with even IL
more essential differences, than existed be e
tween the Swiss confederation and the gov /
ernment of France during the "reign of ter v

rather the workings of this disastrous faction,
is most aptly illustrated by parallelism with
this same French democracy. No sooner had
the terrorists demolished all law as unnatural {

given up the kingdom to the mercy of licen-
tiousness, pillaging the churches, overturning
and trampling upon her affairs, making bur-

cred the exact theory of a free government,
and with an excess of hellish benevolence sent |
missionaries throughout the world, that their |
footsteps, wherever planted, might, like the
blood of Minotaur, yield harvest OF serpents.
