nary
plan was drawn up on the 30th of July in a wine-shop at Charenton
by Barbaroux, Rebecqui, Pierre Bayle, Heron, and Fournier the
American.--Cf. J. Claretie, "Camille Desmoulins," p. 192. Desmoulins
wrote, a little before the 10th of August: "If the National Assembly
thinks that it cannot save the country, let it declare then, that,
according to the Constitution, and like the Romans, it hands this over
to each citizen. Let the tocsin be rung forthwith, the whole nation
assembled, and every man, as at Rome, be invested with the power of
putting to death all well-known conspirators!"]

[Footnote 2658: Moniteur, 371. Speech of M. Girardin: "I am convinced
that most of those who insulted me were foreigners."--Ibid., 370. Letter
of M. Frouvieres: "Many of the citizens, coming out of their shops,
exclaimed: How can they insult the deputies in this way? Run away! run
off!"--M. Jolivet, that evening attending a meeting of the Jacobin Club,
states "that the Jacobin tribunes were far from sharing in this frenzy."
He heard "one individual in these tribunes exclaim, on the proposal
to put the dwellings of the deputies on the list, that it was
outrageous."--Countless other details show the small number and
character of the factions.--Ibid., 374. Speech of Aubert-Dubacet: "I
saw men dressed in the coats of the national guard, with countenances
betraying everything that is most vile in wickedness." There are "a
great many evil-disposed persons among the federates."]

have read this description agreeing: "Yes, open voting by a named and
identified count, that is how a leader best can control any assembly."
