others of hi party, who hare lately been so
ready to denounce Jme PresUent for his
ProctamalMsrin regard to the invaders "of
Cuba, seem to have fonrotten that, .on a for-1
mer'occavion, when there was a real upri
sing of the people against the Government of
a nation with which We were at peace, and
that people received the sympathy of a large
number of the enruty spirits in this country,
some of whom had ac ually gone and others
were about to go and joi i the insurrectionary
farces, the then Executive ef the United
States, whom it had been the pride of the
Democratic party to elevate to his exalted
position, issued a Proclamation which wss
precisely similar in its tenor to that issued
by President Fillmore in April ln. A num
ber of the persons who made themselves
obnoxious to the Proclamation of 1838 were
sentenced to be bung by.court-martial ; one
or more of them, if we remember rightly,
actually suffered the extreme penalty; and
others were banished for a long period to
prnal colonies, from which some of them
only returned years aOer these troubles were
over and had ceased to be spoken of ; and
vet we fancy our neighbor was not at that
time heard denouncing the then President
because be did not interfere to preserve these
unfortunate and deluded men from tneir dis
mal and ignominious doom.
In order that our readers may see the si
milarity of these documents, we lay before

CHARGC.
GeirTLBMCRor theGrard Jubt: It has been
represented to me that, since we met last,circum
stances have occurred in one of the neighboring
oonntieii of our district, which should call for your
prompt scrutiny, and perhaps for tin energetic ac
lion of the court.
It m said that a citizen of the Stale of -Maryland,
who had e-tne into Pennsylvania a reclaim fu
gitive from labor, was forcibly obstructed io the at
tempt by a body -f armed men, aasanlted. beaten,
and murdered; that some members of his family,
who bad accompanied him in the parsnit, were ai
the same lime and by the same party malt rrea ted
ami grievously wounded ; and that an officer of
justice, constituted under the authority of 'his
court, who sought to arrest the fugitive, was im
peded and repelled by menace and violence, while
oroclaimincr his character and exhibiting his war
rant. It is s iid, too, that the time and manner of
these outrages, their asteried object, ibe denuncia
tions bv which thev were preceded, and the simul
taneous action of most of the guilty parties, evinced
a combined purpose forcibly 10 resist and make
nu-ratury a constitutional provision, and the si a
tutea enacted in pursuance of it ; nnd it is added,
in confirmation of this, that for some months back
gatherings of people, strangers as wall as citizens,
have been held from time to time in the vicinity
of the p ace of the recent outbreak, at which ex
hortations were made and pledges interchanged to
hold the law for the recovery of fugitive alaves as
of no validity, and to defy its execntion.
Such are some of the representations that have
been made in my hearing, and in regard to which
it has become your duty, as the grand inquest of
the district, to make legal inquiry. Personally, I
know nothing of the facts, or the evidence relating
io them. As a member of the court before which
the accused persons may hereafter be arraigned
ad tried, I have s -ught to keep my mind alto
gether free from any impressions of their guilt or
innocence, and even from an extra judicial know
ledge of the ekcumtances wfoch must determine
the lesral character of the offence that has been
a criminal charge, that their cause shall be in no
wise and in u degree prejudged. And u ra er
ring iheref re lo the representations which have
been made lo roe, I have no other object than to
point you to the reasons for my addressing you at
this advanced period of oursessions, and to enable
you lo pp!y 'iih more laciliiy and certainty the
principles and rules of law which 1 shall proceed
in lay before yoa.
If the cwMusHMices to which I have adverted
haveio tact taken pbee, they involve ihe highest
crime known 10 our Lws. Treason against ihe
Cubed Stales is defined by the Constitution, art
3; sec 3, d 1, to coos 1st in "levying war agtioe
them, or in adhering to their enemie-, giving them
aid and comfort." This defiuitian is borrowed
from theaneient law ol England Scot 25, End.
stai 5, chap. 2, and its terms must be understood
wf course m the -enae which they bora in that law,
and which obtained here when the Constitution
was adopted. Itie expression "levying war," ao
regarded, embraces not merely the act ol formal or
declared ar, but any cmnbiaation forcibly to pre
vent or opoose the execution or enforecuient of a
provision of the Constitution, or of a public statute,
it accompanied or I oi lowed by an act ol I.rcibls op
position in pursuance of such combination. This
in substance baa been the interpretation given 10
these words by the English judges, and it has been
uniformly and fully recogtused and adopted in the
courts of the United States. (See Fester, Halt and
HauHtins, and the opinions ol Iredell, Patterson,
'hae, Marshall and Washington, J. J., of the Su
preme Court, and Peters, D. J., in United Slates

vs. Frts, United Sustss vs. Bobnanand inoart.
United Umtcm v. AW
The definition, as you will observe, includes two
particulars, both of tbem indispensable elements of
the offence. There most have been a combination
or ronSiring together topp-ae the law by force,
and some actual force must have been exerted, or
the crime ol treason ia not consummated. .
The highest, or at leant -the direct proof f the
combining, may be to and m ihe declared purposes
of the individual party before the actual outbreak;
or it may be derived lrm the proceedings of meet
ings m which b took pari openly, or which be
either prompted or made effective by his counte
nance or sanction commending, counselling, and
iusttgatiag forcible resistance to tee la w I sue k.

more limned purpose to violatu it, or 10 prevent its
application aod enforcement in a particular case.
or against a particular individual. The combina
tion must be directed against the law itself.
But such direct proof of this element of the of
fence is not legally necessary 10 establish us exist
enee. The concert of purpose may be deduced
from the concerted action itaell, or u may be in
ferred from facta occurring at the time, or after
wards, at well aa beiore
Betides mis, there must be some act of violence
as the result or ooasenueuee of the e mbtniug- But

h it declared in the article of the Conatitution
which I have already cited .that "to person ehaH
be convicted of treason unless on ine test moony of
two witnesses to ihe same overt net, or on confes
sion in open court." This, and corresponding
langoage io the net of Conrreseof the 30-b-of
April, 1790, seem to refer tube proof 00 the jrial,
and ao'. to. the preliminary hearing before the com

grand inquest. There can be no conviction until

Besides the crime of 1 reason, which I have thus
noticed, there are offences of minor grades against
th enoatituiion and Ine rttate. some or other of
which may be apparently established by the ev

act of the lh of September , 1350, eh. 60, which
relates more particularly to the rescue or attempt
ed rescue of a fugitive from la bar. These acts
were ru ide the subject of a charge to the grand ju
ry of this court in November last, of which I shall
direct a copy to be laid before you, and I do not
deem it necessary to repeat thew provisions at this
time.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, you are about to
enter upon a most grave and momentous doty.
You will be careful, in performing it, not to per
mit your indignauon against crime, or your just
appreciation ot na perilous consequences, to inn 11
enee your judgment of the guilt of those who may
be chrgd before me with its commission. But
you wtil be crelul, also, that no misguided char
ity shall persuae'e you to withhold the guuiy from
tne wtributiona ef jusuce. You win inquire wbe
1 tier aa onence has been committed, Wftat was Ms
legal character, and who were the offenders and
this done, and this only, yoa will make your pre
sentments according to tae-evwence and the law.
Your inquiries will not be restricted to the con
duct uf people beiutogiitg lo our own State. If in
the progress of them you shall Jind thai men have
been among us, who under whatever mask of con
science and of peace have labored to incite others to
treasonable violence, and who after arranging the
elements of ihe aiischief, have withdrawn luena
selves to await the explosion they bad contrived,
vou will leel yeunelves bound 10 present the met
ta the court ; and however distant roav be tb
place ic which the offenders may have sought re
luge, we give you the pledge ot the law, that its
tar reaching energies shall be exerted to bring them
ep for trial if gailty, to punishment.
The t-ffenced treason is not triable in this, court.

Democracy in Ohio ia coquetting- with, and
wooing Abolitionism in ao many forms that a

deprive the Wbiga of much chance of electing
Vinton Governor. . -
From Cleveland, we have now some details ef
the so ctltad National Anti-8!avery Conventron
recently held there. Dr. Lemoyne,a noted Abo
litionist, waa President nod Giddings.was Chair
min of the Ceauaittee of Resolutions, ine re

ciples, take decided .ground ia favor of. Land Re
form, aod the disbanding of the army and roduc-
tktn f th Nirr. The Army. Which in case of
rebellion against the Laws, nwy be used to en
force them- very mueh worries all leading Abo
litionist.
Caasfua M. Clay improved tha occasion to
no once that he now separated himself entirely
from the Whig party. that party bad deceived
hitn. (The Whig party deceives, it aeema, both
Abolitionists, Secessionists, and Nullifiers.) U.
S. Sonator Chaae, who eotnes cut now ftrlly for
the pure Democratic Ticket of the State, was pre
sent, trying to woo the Abolitioaiata to follow his
example.
He said, "that the Ohio Democracy were right
upon the rccosd that they proposed lo ao any
thing that might eonatiiathMMrlybe dene to miti
gate the evils and eradicate the sin of Slavery."
Guiuihga &. Coin Northern Ohio, have thrown
that once powerful Whig section into a minor y,
and with it bis gone the Stare. But, the "N. Y.
Express"" well remarks, the Coalition of Giddings
Sl rlo outside AbolHionista, aod Chaae es Con
inside Abolitiomate, will only be of avail to help
00 Democracy, uhtil the Whig plaut tbeai-
1 selves thoroughly upon a sound, rational, uomis-
I triteable platform, aa they are heginnM lo do.
Hundreds of Democrats, now disgusted with the
coalitions of their own party, will vote the Whig
ticket, the moment that ia fully done.
The State amfCeaaty Whig Conventions are
every where giving the National Adutiuisiration a
