(Extract from the minutes of the meetings of the Central committee of Montauban， April II， 1793， with the approval of the representative， Jeanbon-Saint-André.) "The moment has at length come when moderatism， royalism and pusillanimity， and all other traitorous or useless sects to the country， should disappear from the soil of Liberty." All opinions opposed to those of sans-culotterie are blamable and merit punishment.
