Today we say: We, we keep the Republic, it is the only Government that can unite us before the foreigner who defiles and devastates our soil..... Republicans of the day before, republicans of the next day by force of circumstance, friends of the fallen dynasties, let us unite to call, within the municipal councils, the most enlightened, the most independent and the most determined to maintain the Republic, a guarantee both of union between all and of the deliverance of our country." - Printed in Roanne, at Marion et Vignal's, place de l'Hôtel de Ville.
