der the yoke of the tyranny; let us seize the weapons; let us demand our freedom, although it is necessary to march over millions of colds cadavers. The death, Jefferson says, it is preferable to the slavery.

Impartial. I also read in the Newspapers of the Court that highly your conduct is disapproven.

Lie. And what imports us with that? Those newspapers are employed by the Minister of the Justice; or to speak clearer, he is the principal Editor of the Sete, of Parahybuna, of the Cronista, of the Correio de Minas.

Let us imitate in this Bahia that only has a President, and not three. And if in Bahia was chosen a Sheep, we can refine the choice and we put a Lion to the forehead of the Public Businesses. I don't say it for me, Sirs, because I intend to be resigned with your choice; but any patriot that be named, should have the
