The:last great ,effort of Mr. Clay to guide his
folloWers, was made at Lexington Ky., on Satur-
I I
day last,. the 13th instant, Preperationshad been
spade, try . aliumber ot editors, - to have a full import,
.1 his speech, as delivered; but he told them plain
ly, that if they should attempt to make a report of
what he.would any nothing. This was a
sather,ievere cut, even to some of• his friends; but
the fiat- had gone forth; and there was no such
thing as getting it revoked. The reason given by
for taking such ground, was, that he bad
- . _--
so frequently been misrepresented hi reporters.—
Ha promised, however, to prepare a statement of
his remarks, which would be printed under his own
stiliervision,ivhen all who deeired it would have
en opportunity of knowing his sentiments on the
points erribodied in the resolutions which he • pre
sented.
;. • The Whole affair presents, to our view, a novel
- aspect. We here see Mr. Clay, the great eriabodi.
meat of Whiggeri in the West—who has been
: - thrice before the people as a candidate for the Pre.
sidehey, and thrice defeated—whO is again a can
: dictate for thathigh office—seeking to lead-public
-1 " , " - - opinion; in the most open and direct manner; and
yet fearful of the breath of jnisrepresen teflon, upon
rints on which he could not Well be misrepresent.
uniens be Should take disguised a course as
to make for himself the occasion to he misrepre
sented. This refusal of Mr. Cla,y,46per_lkt are
port-of his speehls; is so little in accordance with
what we have heretofore thought of his confidence
in the honesty and intelligence of his countrymen,
'- that we might well consider it'one of those Vega
to which people are liable, who have reached,
- _jos who have passed, the ordinary limit of human
life: There is another view 2 bowever, which we
fluty take of It; end.as this is the more charitable
one, we Will adopt it—that he has so often failed
to dfrect the current of public opinion into his own
way:, of thinking, by any means which he has
beret:item adopted, that he will now try a new
plan of operations, with the hope .of better suc.
teas. But we think that any effort which Mr. Clay
.can make, will prove equally unavailing, with any
of his former efforts. The time has' been, (when
bitr ieiliiiintellect, and the powerful oratory of his
bright* days, were exerted to sustain the cause of
• _ hie eanntry,) when his voice was heard to admira
tion, because that voice uttered the sentiments, end
Ilion.* were in unison with the feelings, of the
mass:* of his ciiuntryroen;—then, be was admired
because he Was- the embodiment of the
sentiment of those masses—but because he prefer.
lid to reflect their will, and sustain their interests;
because they constituted his country i and he was,
for his country. But, for many years past, the
_
scenehai been changed. Mr. Clay has'chosen to!
take the side of the capitalist, the monopolist, the
sieetdator, in preference to that of the great body
of the People: and though his voice - is potential in
Kentucky (like that of Webster,. in Massachuss.
eta,) beyond his own State, except among mere
politicians, he has little more than the namenf in.
fluence.
As a prelude (it would seem,) to his speech; Mr.
Clay submitted to the assembly a series of reiolu
tions,-,--eigbt in number. It strikes us , that, on
thi part-of candidate for the Presidency, a more
modest course than this might have been pursued!
" and. that, instead of submitting, for the sanction of
iirublic meeting, a string of resolutions of his own
all ready eat and, dried, Mr. Clay would have oecu f :
pied a more pleasing position, had be waited for
an expression of opinion on the part of the People,'
and then sustained: their views, If he taw fit. It
• would have given to the thing a greater appearance
if modesty, at least. But Ibis is a matter which we,
perhaps, have nothing to do with:, If his course
sulfates his iolitical friends, we ought not to com
plain.; even if they ‘ are in a position to render it
necessary that they should have some one to di
re-it them into the path which it is deemed neces
"TY foi•them to pursue. We only say that the
Temoriatic party have not found it necessary, at
to'select any one of their number, to be
- -,iihetoide for the rest, upon any question of Secon
`:daryitaportince.
.These resolution.s of Mr. Clay we will present to
our,eaers lathe order in which they are reported;
snd ;
we propose to submit such comments upon
each, as seem to be proper. The first resolutidins
its. follows:
'Resolved, as the opinion of this meeting,
that the primary,-causes of the present unhappy
wep . existing between the United States of Amer
iris, and the . United States of the Republic of Mexi
' eci` was the annexation of Texas to the former ; and
that theimmediate occasion of hostilities between
the' two republics arose out of the order of the
President of the United States for the removal of
the army under the command of Gen. Taylor. from
its position at Corpus Christi to a point opposite
to Maternoras, on the East bank of the Rio Bravo.
within territory claimed by both Republics, but
then under the Jurisdiction of that Of Mexico, and
inhabited by its citizens; and that the order of the
President for tbe'removal of the army to that point,
was improvident and unconstitutional; 'it being
mahout the concurrence of-Congress, or even any
%ConsulVition with it, although it was in session;
iLitt that Congress havin g , by subsequent acts, re.
---e.ognized the war thus b rought into existence with.
out its previous authority or consent, the prosecu
lion - Of it became`thereby National."
*p a y here asserts that the territory between
the Nueces and the Rio Grande, was " under the
of; hat [the government) of Meicico."
la an unqualified assertioa; and one which
notlnif know went beyond the truth,-..
e Rio Grande, from its, mouth to. its source, has
xlevisys been recognized as the southern boundary
of - Terss. it was so - recognized hy France in 1604,
`..when she transferred to us the territory of Lonisi

.:`this'Sabiae. seas acknowledged as our soiithern
boundary, Mexico always defined the' Rio Grande

These arethe limits, loo.,'Whith lite ex President
of Texas, now a Senator cif the United States, de
dared,- in his place in the Senate, had never been
under the jurisdiction of ,Mexico, since 1830,.and
the extreme western- point of which slaw of the
United States, upon the admission of Texas into
the Union, has constituted a part one of the
collection districts, of our government. And yet
Mr. Clay tetls the people, that the ordering of the
army of the United State a into this district,.when
it was threatened with invasion, " was inaprovi
dent and unconstitutional, it being without the
concurrence of Congress, or even any consultation
with it."
A more shameful attempt at political trickery
could not have been made, by one of Mr. Clay's
most shallow and ignorant admirers. The public
documents, both of Mexico and the United States,-
prove, that Mexico exercised no jurisdiction over
the territory between the Neuces and the Rio
Grande; and so far as her clams to the territory are
concerned, she has not yet ceased to claim the
!whole of Texas. Mr. Clay well knows, too, that
the President was not required, either by any law
lof the United States or any usage of the govern
ment, to advise with Congress in relation to the
movements' of the army ,within the territory of
the United States. The laws make it his duty to
direst the movements of both the arras of our
national defence, in such manner as to prevent he
invasion of our terriiory. . •
"2 Resolved, That, in the absence of any formal
aril public declaration by Congr ess , of the objects
for which the war ought to be prosecuted, the
President of the United States, as Chief Magistrate
and as Commander in Chief of the Army and Na. of the United States, is left to the guidance of
his own judgment to prosecute it for such purpo
see and objects as he may deem the honor and in
terest- of the nation to require."
The necessity for any further "format and pub
lic declaration of Congress, of the objects foi
which the war ought to be prosecuted," has been,
entirely overcome, as we think, by the law of Con
gress of 1846, which asserted that "war exists by
the acte" Metico." If the United States had de
clared war against Mexico, the propriety,of a
statement of the causes which led to the declara
tion, would have been altogether proper, but as
"war exists by the actof Mexico," it is only ne- 1
cessary that Congress should watch over the best
interests of the people,and make the necessary !
provision for continuing it, until the aggressor shall
be vanquished, or shall sue foi peace. This is a
plain, common sense view, such as any honest man'
of ordinary mind would be apt to take, with refer
ence either to this or acy other war.
"3. Resolved, That, by the Constitution of the
United States, Congress, being invested with pow.
er to declare war, and grant letters of marque and
reyrisal, to make rules concerning captures on
land and water, to raise and support asides- '
to
provide and maintain a navy, and to make rules for
the government of the land and naval forces, has]
the full and complete war making power of the,
I United States; and so possessing it, has a right to
determine upon the motives, causes and objects of
any war, when it commences, or at any time du'
firing the progress of inexistence."
Congress having recognised the fart that " warl
•
exists, ' by the act of a foreign power, have noth-1
ing more to do in this case, than provide for the
national defence. •
4. Resolved, As the further 'opinion of this
meeting, that it is the right and duty of - Congress
to declare, by some authentic act, for what pur
poses and objects the existing war ought to be
further prosecuted ; that_ it is the duty of the
President, in his official conduct, to conform to
such a declaration of Congress; and that, if, after
such a declaration, the President should decline or
refuse to endeavor, by all the means, civil, dipio.
tootle, and military, in his power, to execute the
announced will of Congress, and, in defiance of its'
authority, should continue to prosecute the war
ifor purposes and objects other than those declared
by that body, it would become the right and duty
of Congress to adopt the moat efficacious measures
to arrest the further progress of the war, taking
care to make ample provision for the honor, the
Isafety and security of our armies in Mexico, in
l every contingency. And, if Mexico should decline,
or refuse to concede a treaty with us, stipulating
for the purposes and objects so declared by Con
gress, it would be the, duty of the Government to
prosecute the war with the utmost vigor, until
they were attained by a treaty of peace."
I This resolution, (together with the two which
have preceded it,) is based upon the erroneous as
sumption—and unquestionably designedly errone
ous—that Congress
.have not already done all
which their constitutional duty required them to
do, in the premise's. The indirect assrtion that
the President either has done, or is„disetosed to do,
some act, unwarranted by the Constitution and
laws, is certainly a small piece of bininess, to be
done by a man who is himself aspiring to that
exalted station. Such a course might be more
tolerable in a candidate for the office of constable,
or some petty magistrate; but is one which no
candidate for the Presidency has ever heretofore
resorted to. The President either has violated his
duty, or be has faithfully performed it. If be has
been guilty of any breach of the Constitution, or
the laws, his place cannot properly shield him from
merited punishment; and the laws provide the
means by which be can be reached. Why then, if
it is believed by any intelligent man, learrd in
the laws of our country, that he has violifea his
duty, is not that course at once pursued, whAch
will arrest him in his unlawful career? Is there
no man, among those who thus seek to disgrace
him before the country, who, has the patriotism to
come forth and openly accuse him? no man who
has the courage to do his duty, while he is thus
meanly insinuating a breach of duty on the part
of the President? Such - would seem to be the
case; and therefore the only just inference is, that
those vvho 'are thus reflecting upon the of
character of Mr. Polk; and who, are misstating
the acts of „thAg.ii , yalment--not only believe and
know, that they arelifustainiug untruth; but are
using all their efforts to mislead the country, with
a view to the accomplishment of'their bwn sinis
ter ends.
"G. Resolved, That we view with serious -alarm,
arid are utterly opposed to, any purpose of annex
ing Mexich to the United States, in any mode, and
especially "by concluest ; that we believe the two
nations could: not be happily governed 'by one
common authority, owing to_their great difference
of race, law, language, and' religion, and the vast
extent of their respective territories, and large
amount their respective . populationi; that such
a union, against the 'consent of the exasperated
Mexican people, could only be effected and pre
served by large standing armies. and the constifht
application of military 'force—in other words, by
despotic sway exercised over the Mexican people,
in the Orst instance,. but which, there would be
just cause to apprehend, might, in process of time,
be extended over; the people ot the United States.
That we deprecaTe,_ therefore, such' a union, as
wholly incompatibly with the genius of our Gov
ernment, and with the charecter or free and liberal
institutions"; `
.arid` we aniebstrisly hope that each
nation may . be left in the undisturbed possyssion of
its own prws, language, cherished religiozi, and
territory,,to pursucits own happiness, according to
what it may deem best for itself."
the evils eo pathetically. .apprehandell by
this reaoluttoo, are ripiietlian •"a twice told tale:,

result of =the inehexatiiin,o(Liiiiisiina ; 'and, to a
_greater or less extent;' hav e ` been' predicted, on
'every occasion when a proposition has been before
the - cluntry to , extend the lirbits of the Union.—
But we looitupon, most ofti danger anticipated
by some, even from the anne xation of Mexico 'to
this Union, as purely imaginary. We would Tre
fer to receive.that country as a willing party to
our confederacy; we will ever regret the necessity
which has forced ns to her subjugation, if subju•
gated she must be; but that she must be,and will
be subjugated, unless she shall accede to our just,
and reasonable, ani long neglected demands
upon her, (now that force has become necessary
on our part,) we look upon as inevitable; and,
when subjugated, we have no othet• course left,
than ect make provision fur her *pie, as resi
dents of territory of the United States; and we
dO not see that there would be a necessity for
throwing any greater restrictions around' then',
than are thrown around the inhabitants of other
territories.
„
"6. Resolved, That, considering the series of
splendid and brilliant victories achieved, by our
brave armies and, their gallant - commanders, du
ring the war with Mexico, unattended by a single
reverse, the United States, without any danger of
their honor suffering the slightest tarnish, can prac
tice, the virtues.o3f moderation and magnanimity
towards their discomfited 'foe. We have no desire
for the dismemberment of the United States of the
Republic of Mexico, but wish only a just and prop
per fixation of the limits of Texas.”
Our government has demonstrated to the world)
as well as to Mexico, that we will "ask nothing
that is wrong." They have "practised the virtues"
of moderation and magnanimity towards their dis
comfitted foe," until the "advocates" of that foe, at
whose head Mr. Clay aspires to be, have found
what they have deemed ample ground for censure.
So far as the boundaries of Texas are concerned'
they have long been fixed; and no set of our goy.
ernment can be justly tolerated, which would in
terfere, in any manner, with those limits.
"7. Resolved, That we do, positively and em
phatically, disclaim and disavow any wish or de
sire, on our part, to acquire any foreign territory
whatever, for the purpose of propagating slavery,
or of introducing slaves from the United States, in
to such/oreign territory."
We do not believe that there is any considerable
portion of the People, in any section of our Union,
who desire ' 4 ' any foreign territory whatever, for
the purpose of propagating slavery, or of introdu
cing slavery from the United States into such for;
eign tikritorytt "Or, if there be any such desire
or design, it is 'not on the part of the - Democratic
party: for attire. Democrats, whether of the North
or South, recognise the right of the Peopleto regu
late their CUM domestic institution ; and clone, we
think, are willing to undertake the task of trying
to engraft slavery, upon the institutions of a peo
ple amonewhom it is unknown. Any effort to
introduce slavery into any portion of the Mexican
territory would be in violation of the organiciaws
of the People, and this kind of legislation is not
a part of the Democratic creed.
"8. .Resolved, That we invite oar fellow citizeni
of the United States, who, are anxious for the,
restoration of the blessings of peace, or, if the,
existing war shall continue to be prosecuted, ire: ,
desirous that its purposes and objects be defined and:
known ; who,:hre anxious to avert present and fu
ture perils and dangers, with which it may be
fraught ; and who are -also anxious to produce con
tentment and satisfaction at home, and to elevate
the national charaitit abroad, to assemble togeth
er in their respective communities, and to express
their views, feelings, and opinions."
This is the last of the series of resolutions,
submitted by Mr. Clay, for the sanction of his fol
lowers. It contains the crowning directions to
therro and we even now fancy that we lee them
hurrying together, all over the country, (as they
did on the occasion of the veto of the United
States' Bank,) to manufacture public opinion, af
ter the fashion of the Lexingtonmeeting.
Mr. Clay is to -be the candidate of the party,
and opposition to the war the rallying point upon
which he is to come before the people. He has
carefully avoided taking the high ground occupied
by Mr. Webster;—preferring to leave to his fol
lowers, in different parts of the country, the man•
agement of this opposition, according to the pol.
icy best suited for their respective meridians:—
Thus, Massachusetts Federalism, headed by Mr.
Webster, will " not vote a"dollar in murtey, nor s
pound of supplies " for the army, rather than see:
the war prosecuted, under any circumstances ;
while Mr. Clay will insist .that Congress shall
again tell the people the causes of the war. He
well knew .that he dare not avow, in the West
such a determined hostility as has been avowed
by Mr. Webster, and the most bitter of the Fed
eral leaders; and has therefore carefully guarded
his expressions, in these resolutions, with a view
to give hie opposition the appearance of a great
er share of patriotism. But we have mistaken
the indications of public opinion, if he has not
missed his mark, if not as widely as Webster has'
done, at least as certainly. .
UT shall now look, from every part of the
country; for an expression of Whig sentiment,
based upon the platform of these resolutiont.—
Mr. Clay has come forwarthimself, to guide his
followers in the approaching presidential contest;
and, whether they shall take the more+ bitter and
nauseating pills of Webster and Corwin, or swal
low the more delicately concealed, and sugared,
but no leis'bitter one of Clay, the result will be
the same; and that result we cannot look upon,
if they shall be sustained, as any thing short of
national dishonor.

My char and ajectionate parents :--After march
es and counter-marches, we have at length onfurlt
ed om : fiag, the glorious stars and stripes, upon the
Imperial P lace of he City of Mexico. The tri
als and bar ships tit t our glorious little regiment
have eneou tered, si re we left Vera Cruz, beg.
gars deecri lion. We were engaged in several
skirmishes twcen Vera Cruz and Puebla, called
by the Mexicans, the City of 'the Holy Angela;
but the tug of war had not yet arrived. - After
we had left Puebla, on our march to the city
of Mexico, on the 18th day of October, our re
giment was ordered to make a reconnoisance of
the enemy's camp and position. We according
ly marched from the village of San Angel, ,to
attract the enemy, and, if possible, draw him
from his position. The enemy had deployed, as
skirmishers, about 300 men to attack us, As
soon as we got inside their pickets, they were
all secreted and fired upon us before we knew it ;
the only loss our party sustained, one dragoon
horse killed. The order was immediately given,
by'our,Lieut. Colonel, W. Graham, to charge the
enemy, which we did in gallant style, killing
several and taking several prisoners; and in the
very centre of the Mexican army, between Gen
!end Santa Anna on the one aide, and General Va
lencia on the other, thus opened the grand cannon.
ade ball of the 18th of August.
We returned safely back to San Angel to our
quarters; and on the morning of the 19th of Oc
-1 tober, the battle began on the- Hills of Magda
lens, at Fort Contreros, one of the enemy's
main strongholds, and defended by 32,000 of the
flower of the Mexican army,.,where, on the part '
of the Americana, we had not over 5000 men
engaged. The taking of Contreras commenced
on our part, at 12 o'clock, and one of the most
bloody and well disputed battles commenced
ever known, with the same number of men
since the creation of the world. Our little army
could not bring our artillery to bear with any
effect on the enemy's position, so that every thing
had to be accomplished by the musketry. The
fort held out till 6 o'clock on the 20th, when
we took them on a dead chirge and silenced 'a
battery of 28 guns, of the largest calibre, in 20
_ .
minutes, and killing a great number of the ene
my and taking 400 prisoners; among them a
great number of otllcers of note. Then followed,
on the same day, the bloody battle of Churubus
co, where the Americans lost a great number of
officers and men: The next town, outside-of the
city, was Tacnbaya ; and next 'Moline del Rey,
where our regiment was literally cut _to pieces
and our officers mowed down like hay. Among'
that numcer, I must mention the loss of our
brace Colonel Graham, who fell, mortally wound
ed, pierced by 11 balls. My friend, Lennox Rea,
lost his thigh close up to his body; but, thank
'God, he is able to be up on his crutches. Captain

The Grand;2vgtutyj thc - rostnnanulalth:ol Perin:
syloo.,,isgii,rie Inv:4ring altrP.for Nt'letinty;of
allegheity,[ 4t4nictki the following iristtnisit to
the Cout , nr -
First; That they entered- up.) the duties, With
a desire, atileast, of finding: thiir community in a
state of pregressivei improveinent in nierals, and
the citizens in this county endeavoring to promote
virtue and condemning , vice. In this, they are
constrained to say, they have been grievously d i e
appointed. • •
Vice of almost every name and'grade, appears
I to be fearftilly, on the increase. •
Beginning in drunkenness --producing violent
assaults. and batteries, with intent to destroy hu-,
man life,- T -together with tumults, routs, riots and
affrays, appear to be theorder of the day in many
places, where, until recently, peace and good order
cheracterized the inhabitants.
Such a stsiteof things being made evident tothe
Grand Jury, it could not fait- to induce them loin.'
quire into some of the causes that hamproduced,
such balefill effects in our midst. And,while the
Grand Inquest, regrets the necessity impels
it, yet uudauntingly express, as the oppinion of
this body, that the evils alluded to havefiten pro
duced by intemperance, which has been, greatly
accelerated:by the untoward circumstances relit-.
ting to the license law;.-..it being suspended, ap.
pears to have hung up with. it, to a considerable
extedt, the proper action of the municipal town
ship'officers, whose duty it is to guard and pro
mote the good morals of their respective comma.
nities,_ Thus, in, A few short monthsoociety has
been unhinged and' distracted; . the laWless become
emboldened under the influenceof the dream of
impunity—have cut loose upon society, in a niami
ner hitherto unprecedented in this community. •
Second. The Grand Inquest do further present;
That in pursuit of their inquiries, --by incidental
testimony, while examining other cases,-:-jt was
made kqown to this body, that an infraction of
the law of this Commonwealth, concerning rows
ibeing enacted, while the court Was in session,- . -and
the General Inquest engaged in' its dpies. Our
endeavors were immediate and continuous, to find
out ihe.inclividuals who thus so boldly and impu.
denily violated the sacred law of the State, and
set at defiance the Courts of Justice. A number
of names now near or remotely connected with
this matter, were given to us; but the character of
the testimony was deemed not sufficiently definite
to authorize this body to ask the Court to direct a
bill to be drawn up; but sufficient has been elicited
to leave the Gran f Jury without a doubt as to the
fact of the existence of the races, and the loca
tion of the race ground, being in Peebles and
Wilkins townships, nearly, if not altogether, with.
in'the sound of the bell of this Cdurt House. The
laws are made for the protection and good order of
the whole community; and this consists in piini4l.
ing the lawless, andfprotecting those that do welt.
None are so high as not to need its salutary indu
ences, nor above ils-Apower to punish ;—nor are
any!,,so low, that it edffinat protect hith, nor cutt,he
violate it with impunity. And here, the Grand
Jury would observe, in connection with what they
have already said in relation to township officers,
and formally bring to the notice of the Court the
groes s and puipable neglect of those officers, whose
duty it is; by the act of 182 u, 'to take prompt or
der in .this matter.
Third, Tbe Grand Inquest do further present tct
the Court, That they have visited and to some ex
tent examined, both the Couty Jail and the West.
ern Penitentiary; and are happy in being able to
say, most - satisfactorily, that ;both present as ap
pearance of cleanliness and comfort, highly praise.
worthy to the" ollicere who have resifecti%ely the
charge of the two prisons. ,
But we feel specially bound to remark, that the
Cominissioners of the County have manifested as
siduity and care, in their efforts to render the Coun
ty prison comfortable and as pleasant as the nature
of the cast will admit, to tbe unfortunate inmate;
and in our_eiew, have greatly improved the state or
the prison generally, and seconded by, the care and
humane attention of our worthy Sheriff; we be
lieve the Jail never has presented sogratifying an
appearance. In relation to our visit to the State
prison, a remark or: two: The intelligence arid
frank manners of the Superintendent, give full in
dications that he he is %sell suited to the business
to which he is 'called. System , and cleanliness
seem to pervade every where, in the immense
building. As a matter of course, we were not
permitted to see or converse with the inmates of
the cells. .But it is calculated to fill the heart of
the Philanthrophist and Christian with pleasing ,
emotions to kno , .v,that our Western Penitentiary
system of treatment to prisoners, gives hope even
to the worst and most abandoned felon incarcera
ted in that prison, that he may go out of his cell
a reformed man. The moral instructor, the Rev.
A. W. Black, informs us, that there have been
full evidence of genuine reformation in several of
the prisoners, some of whoin died in the prison.
Mr. Black is much of a gentleman, mild and amia
ble in his manners, and much interested for the
unfortunate inmates of the prison •
In conclusion,.the Grand Jury do further pre,
Sent to the Court, That having received in charge
from your Honors, the Judges of ,the County, the
law of 18 , 16, upon Gambling, and GanAlinghouses,
&c., we have responded to 'thicharge, as well as
we have been able—some things we accomplished,
some others eluded us.
The Grand Jury do further state that it has been
intimated to the members of this body, in s , .ch a
manner as to leave little doubt, but that the State
law against the sale of Lottery Tickets, within
this Commonwealth, is being violated, in this city
extensively. The vigilance of all officers is re
quired, as well,as the action of Grand-Juries. We,
in closing, remark, that this body,.l3aving in re•
view before it, the great amount of evil in this
Commonwealth, and the negligence of many of
the municipal officers, we trust and request that
the Court will direct or permit the publication of
the very excellent charge delivered to.tile Grand
Jury, at the commencement of this session—as
we believe its effects ..will be salutary upon this
community—the high tniaral sentiment contained
in it is valuable. All of which the Grand Inquest
now presents to the County, this nth day of N 0...,
vember, 1897. T. L. MMILLAN,

Charge of. Judge Pa!tont
Gent/men of the Grund Jury: It is made our
duty to bring to your notice the provisions of a
late act of •Assernbly, entitled, I‘ An Act 'for the
suppression of gambling." •
By the first section, a One of from Filly to Five
Hundred Dollars is imposed on certain classes of
offenders therein described. One class consists of
those persons, who keep and use a building, - room,
arbor. booth, sued or tenement, forgambling,--
Another consists of those persons, who knowingly
permit the 'buildings they occupy, or rooms in
them, to be used by, others for thatpurpose. This
Glass includes every lessee, or actual occupant of
a building, whether it be aprivate cl,Welling, or 'a
public house, who permits gambling 'to be carried
on in the building, or in any part `of it. A third
class consists of owners,-who rent their. buildings
for the understood purpose of being used and oc
cupied for gambling. Wherd this is not the un:
deistanding of the owner at the time or renting,
and he afterwards discovers that gambling is car.
tied on, and that gaming tables, and other gaming
apparatus, are kept and used on the premises, It
is his duty to make complaint against the Party,
implicated. If be fail to do so, he is placed in the
same class, and subject to the- same penalty, with
those who knowingly permit buildings, or , rooms,
in their actual occupancy, to be used for gambling
purposes,
2. The second section impoies a justly severe
penalty on common gamblers, to wit ; mprisonnaerit
, t hard labor in the Penitentiary, for from: one to
five years, and a fine of Five Hundred Dollars, to be
applied to the supportof - corn man schools; and it
so .fully .describes this class of persons, that we are
not left in doubt as to who shall- be deemed - a
common gambler. He is one who keeps 'or ex
hibits gaming tables, and other deviees, by which
to gain and min money for himself; or to, aid and
assist others in doing so—or one whO engages in
gambling for a livelibciocl— r or one - Who bei no
fixed residence, and is in the habit of gambling..
3. The third section regulates, in certain reisflecls,
the mode of proceeding. Where complaint: has
been made before a magistrate of an offence
againstibe provisions of the act, and in affidavit
is 3led with him alleging-that the party-charged
has about his person, or at any other place men
tiooed in the affidavit, any specffied articled of 'per
sonal property, gaming tables, or ettlitk gambling
devices,' the discovery of which *Mild tend to
prove the charge, the magistrate shall juke his
E=IMI
waiiant, not only to arrest the party , eharged;but
fts SearchAir,?=And (if found) to , bring the ameb;
of periornil property,- and , ' - garobling.implementa,
before tie Magistrate, who is requited to-takeibe
sable int,3 biz poisession. Where the patty charged is
committed; or held to bail, 'o answer t chafge;'
the magistrate retsina the possessioirof theproperty
and gaming apparatus, subject to,the brder of th
cour t until there :is '
'a final discharge or a canvie
tion: If he he:convicted, the'epparatus shall-he
destroyed, tug the property shall be retained, and
be - appliett tiithe_lpayment of the penalty. If
there be any surplus after the payment of the fine
and costs, it . is to be appropriated 'to common
school . If the party he discharged, the
property is to be restored to him ' - .
4. Sy the fourth action, full immunity is grant .
ed to witnesses on behalf of, the - Commonwealth , who. on the trial, may giie evi6ence tending to
criminate and subject•themselvee to the proyislons
of the Act. • a , ,
5. Upon information , on oath, of the existencel
9f a gambling establishment' in any building,lt
shall bilawful for any 'magistrate;
or judge, to issue his warrant, authorizing the
sheriff or, constable, - after demanding entrance,
to reek into :the building, and_to•seize and take
charge of the gamblers' apparatus. .-
6. Upon the return of the . Warrant, the magis
trate shall bear.the parties, and proieed as , in other,
cases of summary conviction: If satisfied that,
the comPlaiot is .truklie...shall - order thi:constable I
forthwith to destroy the gam tiling. apparatus, wh lc lz
Order the const9 ent bleshall proceed to - execute in the,
presence of thagistrate, unless the party shall' '
aifpeal to the next court of Common Pleas, - In!
case of a summary,convietiob under this section,l
the only penalty which the ma"istrate can inflict,
is the degree:titan
_of the gambling apparatus.--,
There is no other penalty,.and no provision -as to ,
the costs. In order to obtain an.eppeal, bail is re.l
quired, in six hundied 6offars, conditioned that the,
party shall abide by the order of:the Coin% arid ie
the event of a conviction, shall pay the.full amount
of the fine and costs. (We presunna the-intention
was, to provide for an appeal to the -court of. Quer
ter.Sessions, and the Court of Common Pleaswas
inadvertently named. This mistake'throWs seri.

9. It is made the duty of all sheriffs; consta?
tiles, and prosecuting' attorneys, to inform, and
prosecute all offenders against the provisions of
this act: If they refuse to do so' ' they are lia
ble to a nue of from - Fifty to &e. Hundred

on the vice of gambling, and the bad coniequen 7
