The pith of the entire proposition was, in short, the abolition of the constitution ; the substitution of laws framed by Palm, the secretary of the council of war at Vienna, and a monk named Gabriel, both creatures of the emperor, — the " persons of ability " referred to in the cardinal's address ; the creation of a distinction between the Magyars, lowering the poorer into the rank of commoners, and raising the rich into the ranks of the Austrian nobility, and thus abolishing the equality which... was their proudest boast ; and last and most important, the surrender of the last safeguard of liberty, the right of voting the supplies, and the substitution of a fixed tax, which would render the emperor totally independent of the people and indifierent to their complaints.
The audacity of the proposals at first struck the deputies dumb with astonish- ment; but recovering from their surpris?, they made Paul Szechenyi, the archbishop of Kolocza, a brave, able, and patriotic prelate, their mouthpiece, and through him informed the emperor, that they had no power to comply with his requests ; that * I will make Hungary first captive, then a beggar, then catholic.
