traitors' punishment.
"_Fifthly:_ We are sworn to exterminate the existing worthless
Government, and to replace it by a working body of capable and
intelligent men, elected by the universal vote of the entire country.

elevate a Republic to supreme power, and for this purpose are solemnly
pledged to destroy the present Monarchy."
