If the welfare of your country is dear to you, take care what you are about to do.

Above all, let us discard injurious mistrust, which can serve none but our enemies, when they would believe that this national assembly, this constant majority, at once bold and sagacious, which has so much cast upon it since the king's departure, is ready to disappear before the divisions so skilfully fomented by perfidious imputations.

(Loud cheering.) You will see renewed, do not doubt this, the disorders, the convulsions of which you are weary, and to which the completion of the Revolution ought also to be a completion.

You will see renewed without hopes, projects, temptations which we openly brave because we feel our strength and are united--because we know that so long as we are united they will not be attempted; and if extravagant ideas should dare to try them it would always result in their shame.

But the attempts would succeed, and on the success of them they might, with some semblance rely, if we were once divided amongst ourselves, not knowing in whom we might believe.
