"Citizens, you have just exercised YOUR RIGHTS OF SUVERAINETY; you have entrusted the organs of your will with the renewal of your legislators, your judges, your administrators; you have, so to speak, put your fortune, your existence, your happiness, your freedom into your hands.... Your representatives... will dismiss from their jobs the vile partisan of royalism, like the bloodthirsty suppot of anarchy; they will know how to direct their choices towards men who are probing, enlightened, virtuous, disinterested, friends of order, sincerely attached to the Constitution of the Third Year, and jealous of contributing to its consolidation...". Vignette with angels "French Republic" & frieze of Phrygian hats. Printed in MACON, by J. Galand, Printer of the Central Administration, Year VII. Cupboard (51 x 39) State A.
