Society protects itself agtinst the -consequences of crime, by the enactment of I iws declaring penaJJis Mid securing punishment.' In most cates of InJiviJinl offences, tie diffi culty is not in the discovery of the crime, as in the prouf necessary to envict the otbnder; and in all sf$h Ci3es the injury is mere apt to be fall thc hadiviiinl subject of the wrongful act, than society. The worst peril the latter is secret conspiracy, corabitmtiui, ,r association, for unlawful purposes. The evib and mis-' chipfr of such an attack on society, may Is felt injuriously, severely, fatally and yet neither the direct fluent nortbo manner of producing tlir? injury bo ever discovered. If thl3 be true in ordinary tiuei times of national peac?, of eeciai safety by how much is th- evil inccaseJ :m i the p;il aruvated ia the period of wr; when an enemy invades our territory, heu Lis armies i occupy witl.iu our borders, when hia pfrcnth, pertinacity and fereciou3 animosity threaten our very existence, when State aud citizens are environed V7ith danger. Yet it is in ju-t such times as theso, that bad, wicked, lepraved men 'leagua ni.d combine, cither to commit desperate deeds for aggrandizement, or to practice the less forcible, but as dangsrou-j and mischievous strutngeim ur.ii devices for ridding themselves tf the troubles and re-f-poni-ibilities which beset the nation, aud ought to 13 borne equally by all, by secret and clan destine associations connecting with the enemv.

It now remains for tho Government and the' public to take care of themselves. If every trus man who knows any thinj of this'asso ciation, will como forward and speak out, each circumstance will, make a link. Let those who have ken seduced into this den of infamy, . expose it.. Let every man who has been ap proached with unseemly propositions, expose the proposition r and the proposer. Tho con viothm of 'one initiator, and hipunisbraent, ' will burst up tho wholo affair. The Govern ment, we think, cab make this proof.: Jf every honest, faithful citizen will do his duty, a most nefarious, wicked, treasonable conspiracy will bo laid bare.
