PROCLAMATION TO THE PEOPLE AND TO THE ARMY
General Gelrard, faithful to his machiavelic policy,
which he has always in force brought forward to ruin
the country has rails d. in opposition to the revolution
an army OF spies and betrayers Despairing of sbdu
ing by arms, he has had recourse to his ordinary
method, viz, corruption. He has surrounded the pro-
vsonal government with plots and daggers. The gov
eminent ceased during my absence with my army,
amidst q reaction directed by those generals who had
proved themselves twice traitors 10 heir DUTY IN con-
junction with handful Of men having political i'm
pOrtance whatever.
Tho people, exaspcrated by this audac,ty rose On
and armed themselves against the spies Of Gen
rard. The Cape has seen women and children, armed
with pixies and sticks, driving pieces Of artillery and
crying "down with GefIrard!" The Gelfrardsts trem
bed and the revolution became more popular than
ever
The country refuses to be governed by General Gcn
rard Should he yet doubt the fact he cannot fail to be
convinced by the terrible manifestations of the days
OF tho LIST and I'd of June.
Gcirard without any consideration for the country
prefers to entertain civil war by arming robbers and
hghwaymcn for the purpose of Strengthening women and
children, rather than withdraw himself before the
tona Reproduction manifested by revolution In every
six months throughout tho republic.
Boyer had but the southern part of the island against
him when he rcinqushcd his government to avoid civil
Perrot abdicated the Presidency as he be-
that the people longer required his
vices Soulouque himself still had great number Of
troops devoted to him when he abandoned his and
yielded TO the will OF the people Bat Geflrard, the
contrary, without patriotic feeling for the country
its people wishes to continue his oppression by fire
and sword
The tyrant shall be punished The wrath of heaven
will bcfall him, and the that he wishes shall
alght on his impous head.
Raise high Haytens the banner Of the revolution II
must triumph, because has Its side the rights and
interests Of the public
The people and their property shall have most pro-
found consideration, and be the sole object of our
spect. Our revolution will never disgrace itself that
tyrant has done who has caused Fort Liberty be pill
LACED and has armed brigands TO from Oranam nhe
to Iron, numbering women and children and crying
sLong live Gelfrard.' "
The revolution will neither allow slaughter plum
der IL s for, and will be for liberty honor and
Justice and IL will remain faithful to the liberal princi
pies which are written on its banner
