. The conclusion is that the day， the hour， the minute that the faction believes that it can usefully and without risk bring into play all the brigands in Paris，[118] then the insurrection will undoubtedly take place." Already the plan of the massacre is under consideration by the lowest class of fanatics at the mayoralty， the Evêché， and the Jacobin club.[119]
Some isolated house is to be selected， with a suite of three rooms on the ground floor， and a small court in the rear； the twenty-two Girondists are to be caught in the night and brought to this slaughter-house arranged beforehand； each in turn is to be passed along to the last room， where he is to be killed and his body tumbled into a hole dug in the middle of the court， and then the whole covered over with quick-lime； it will be supposed that they have emigrated， and， to establish the fact， false correspondence will be printed.[120]
A member of the Committee on the Municipal Police declares that the plan is feasible：
"We will Septemberize(kill) them -- not we ourselves， but men who are ready， and who will be well paid for it."The Montagnards present Léonard Bourdon and Legendre， make no objection. The latter simply remarks that the Girondists should not be seized in the Convention； outside the Convention "they are scoundrels whose death would save the Republic，" and the act is lawful； he would like to see "with them every rascal on the 'black'

"In loose and disconnected phrases" they address the people：
"Rouse yourselves， and act according to your inclinations， as my indications might only startle those you should strike down and thereby allow them to escape！" Varlet proposes， on the contrary， a plan of public safety， very full and explicit， in fifteen articles：
"Sweep away the deputies of the 'Plain，' and other deputies of the Constituent and Legislative Assemblies， all nobles， priests， pettifoggers， etc.； exterminate the whole of that race， and the Bourbons， too， with entire suppression of the Ministers."Hébert， for his part， alluding to the Girondists， writes in his gazette that "the last hour of their death is going to strike，" and that， "when their foul blood shall have been spilled， aristocratic brawlers will return to their holes， the same as on the 10th of August. "Naturally， the professional slaughterers are notified. Acertain Laforet， an old-clothes dealer on the Quai-du-Louvre， who， with his wife， had already distinguished themselves on the 2nd of September， reckons that "there are in Paris 6，000 sans-culottes ready to massacre at the first sign all dangerous deputies， and eight thousand petitioners，" undoubtedly those who， in the several sections， signed the addresses to the Convention against the Commune. -- Another "Septemberizer，"[122] commanding the battalion of the Jardin des Plantes， Henriot， on meeting a gang of men working on the wharves， exclaims in his rough voice：
