It was declared io the Constitution, that no intentions, mimical to too uovernment, were bar. bontdr and that the toca-ty pursued their Ubtu. ia secret onlv toavwid the perverted constructions tf malevolence ana hatred. Tie . members divided themselves into four . brioches. The first had for ita object ihilanthrorvand benevolence, public and private. The second had for its object intellectual ami moral education, the establishment pf seminaries.' and co-operation in the instruction of youth. To the members of this branch was confided the inspec tion oi an icnoois. - jhe third had for ita object - to watch over the tribunals. Its members enlaced themselves not to refuse anyjudicul appointment that should be offered, to fulfil their defies with, teal and exactness, to encourage persons of integrity employed about the courts of justice, and to denounce to the Government thus - who betrayed their trust. The members of i the fourth branch were-to devote themselves lo political economy, to encourase indus try,1 to consolidate public credit, and to sppose monopolies. The'constUution vas so framea, however, as to preserve all the direction of the society, and the exertion of its powers, in the hands of the primitive tountlers. 1 he names of the members; who- had merited well of the association, .were inscribed in a " book of honor f ttnd those of t mem bbrs who had been expelled, in a " book of ignominy.'?
