"Danton despised Robespierre for his
cowardice, Robespierre feared the ferocious
audacity of Danton, and with him, to tear
was to hate--and to hate was-when the
hour arrived--to destroy They differed IN
their ideas also of the mode OF exercising
their terrible system Of government. Danton
had often in his mouth the sentence OF Ma

Girondists might have purchased his sup
port; but nothing under the supreme rule of
France would have gratiicd Eobcspierre,-

unhappy country, could alone have satiated
