(Speech by Jean Bon St.Andre in the Convention, Sep.

25, 1793.) "We are said to exercise arbitrary power, we are charged with being despots.

We, despots!...

Ah, no doubt, if despotism is to secure the triumph of liberty, such a despotism is political regeneration." (Applause.)--Ibid, XXXI., 276.
