Fellow-citizens,
#REDIRECT [[Grand Meeting of the Confederation of the Six Counties in Saint-Charles]]
 
When a people finds itself invariably stuck following a succession of systematic oppressions, ... in spite of their wishes expressed in all popular ways and by their representatives in Parliament after a serious deliberation; when their rulers, instead of rectifying the various evils that they themselves produced by their bad government, have solemnly recorded and proclaimed their culprit determination to sap and reverse to the very foundations of civil liberty, it imperiously becomes the duty of the people to seriously apply themselves to the consideration of their unhappy position, - the dangers which surround them, - and, by a well combined organization, to make the arrangements necessary to keep intact their citizens rights and their dignity as free men.
 
...
 
La Minerve,
November 2, 1837
