[33]
I also proclaim, and assert, and denounce the same things
which he does who is the originator of this trial. There is no king remaining, no nation, no
people, whom you can fear. There is no foreign or external evil which can insinuate itself
into this republic. If you wish this state to be immortal, if you wish your empire to be
eternal, if you wish your glory to continue everlasting, then it is our own passions, it is
the turbulence and desire of revolution engendered among our own citizens, it is intestine
evil, it is domestic treason that must be guarded against.
