But "the impropriety of the meeting" is sufficiently proved. By
what? By certain words which those who determined if possible
to prevent the doing any thing are said to have employed.
"Seeds of civil confusion! these are some of them. "They
"consented to be chosen in order to prevent mischief." then in
lines a few more. But a little lower we have something
more explicit. "There were also some (he says) who entered
"into the Convention for the purpose of mischief:" i.e. for the
purpose of doing something: for The popular interest (he continues) "predominated"
ay. — there is the rub: "The popular interest altogether
"predominated, and when the Convention sat, the mass of the
people delegates acted as assemblies merely popular, even with
"note" i.e. if this mean any thing will act mischievously.
and here, memory being compleatly put out, imagination
takes the reins and leads the judgement captive. Oh but
the assemblies of armed Volunteers they were not merely popular. No
to be sure they were not all of them — for in some of them
the hu plebeians by hundreds had patricians by
for their guidance. But on these occasions I these patricians
by whom were they chosen? put into this situation by the patricians plebeians?
By whom were they kept in it all the time? even
by the same: then, that which at all times had had place,
what was there that should render its continuing to have
place in so impossible its giving place to the noise so sure?
