January, 1794, to induce the convention TO
adopt milder measures, and no advocated con.

HEIGHT OF THE TERROR.

The three months and three weeks follow
ing Dantons end were the worst part Of tho
Terror, which ended with Robespierre's over
throw From the beginning of March to the
close Of July, 179i, the guillotine was steadily
employed, and the awful responsibility rests
almost wholly on Robespierre He continu-
ally declared the republic in imminent peril,
and that 1t could only be preserved by In
creasing the number Of victims. A new tri-
bunal was organized, and any sort Of accusa-
tion, without the slightest evidence, was suf-
fcient to insure the death Of the accused.
st. Just and Couthon now formed with
Robespierre new triumvirato-the old ono
had been composed Of Marat, Danton and
Robespierre-and the convention yielded to
all Its demands II had even conceded to the
tribunal the right to summon before 1t, with
out question, tho deputies themselves Robes
pierre had introduced what he called the wor-
ship Of the Supreme Being, marking it by an
ostentatious festival, which seemed especially
designed for his own glorification. Tho three
talked glibly Of the attempt Of their enemies
to efface the idea Of the deity, as II they alone
allowed him to exist. This is an ancient Gus
tom Of men who claim to bo particularly
pious; they think to prove their faith in and
love Of God by patronizing him superlative-
ly, and proclaiming what they have done in
his behalf. Louis XIV Is reported to have
complained, upon the mortifying defeat Of
his forces at Families, of the ingratitude Of
the Almighty, after the many fayors no had
received from the pompous king.
At this time began the wholesale slaugh-
tiers Of the foes Of the republic. As many as
