POTTER United Families

Although Louis declared optimistically that the union of the parties
was I now "real, perfect and profound", there were dissenters,
particularly in the Liberal camp. Someone named "Anonymous"
(Charles Durand) wrote against the Unionist idea as dangerous to the
Liberal party, and the same summer, Louis felt impelled to write
another pamphlet refuting some of the objections Liberals had made
to this concept. It was called “Replies to some objections on the
catholic question of the Low Countries”, and appeared on July 14,
1829.
The pamphlet was in the form of a dialogue between Louis and the
anonymous author of a Response to his union pamphlet which had
appeared at Ghent. The author of the anonymous pamphlet was
clearly Charles Durand, a Liberal and extremely competent progovernmental
writer.
