" The soul sinks[89] on daily perusing
the executions of conscripts and ?migr?s, and on seeing those
condemned to transportation constantly passing by. . . . All who
displease the government are set down on these lists of the dead, so-
called ?migr?s, this or that cur? who is notoriously known not to have
left the department." It is impossible for honest people to vote at
the primary assemblies; consequently, "the elections are frightful.
The "brothers" and their friends loudly proclaim that neither nobles,
priests, proprietors, merchants, nor justice are wanted; everything is
to be given up to pillage." Let France perish rather than accept their
domination. "The wretches have announced that they will not give up
their places without overthrowing all, destroying palaces and setting
Paris on fire."
