Σελίδα 85 - ... authority to the people, direct that each county and city shall elect, agreeably to the constitution of United Irishmen, representatives to meet in Dublin ; to whom, the moment they assemble, the provisional government will resign its functions ; and, without presuming to dictate to the people, they beg to suggest, that, for the important purpose to which these electors are called, integrity of character should be the first object. 28.
