The Villèle cabinet faced increasing pressure in 1827 from the liberal press, including the "Journal des débats", which sponsored Chateaubriand's articles. Chateaubriand, the most prominent of the anti-Villèle ultras, had combined with other opponents of press censorship (a new law had reimposed it on 24 July 1827) to form the "Société des amis de la liberté de la presse"; Choiseul-Stainville, Salvandy and Villemain were among the contributors. Another influential society was the "Société Aide-toi, le ciel t'aidera", which worked within the confines of legislation banning the unauthorized meetings of more than 20 members. The group, emboldened by the rising tide of opposition, was of a more liberal composition (associated with "Le Globe") and included members such as Guizot, Rémusat, and Barrot. Pamphlets were sent out which evaded the censorship laws, and the group provided organizational assistance to liberal candidates against pro-government state officials in the November 1827 election.
