Le Canadien
Our institutions, our language, our rights.
Whereas we can no longer suffer,
the repeated violations,
of our most dearest rights.
The people of Lower Canada,
Put down a Government,
Which hath abused the object,
And intention for which it was created,
And to make choice of that form of Government,
Which shall re-establish the empire of justice
Assure domestic tranquility,
Provide for common defense
Promote general good
And secure to us,
The advantages of civil and religious liberty.
We declare that from this day forward,
The PEOPLE OF LOWER CANADA,
are absolved from all allegiance to Great Britain,
And that the political connection between
That Power and Lower Canada, is now disbanded.
And that a republican form of Government,
Is the best suited for Lower Canada,
Which from that day,
Declared to be a REPUBLIC.
