Elections, concerning which the sophists of the last revolution could prate
so much and with such gravity; elections, if afforded priority over
freedom, are like the fruit before the flower, like the consequence before
the principle, the right before the act; the most po-faced stupidity that
could ever have been devised in any age or place. Those who have ventured,
those who have dared to summon the people to the ballot box before allowing
them to consolidate their freedom have not only grossly abused the
people’s inexperience and the frightful docility inculcated into its
character through protracted dependency; they have also, by issuing orders
and by that very act declaring themselves its betters, ignored the
fundamental rules of logic — which ignorance must lead them on to falling
victim to their hellish claptrap, leading to their sad meanderings in exile
under the lash of the outcome of universal suffrage.
