Cliarge of Judge Rockefeller to the

CtnV.tmt n of the Grand Jury :
AvYou have the honor of being summoned
to attend here as the first Grand Jury In tbe
vear 1S76. tbe Centennial Tear, being the
one hundredth year of the National
Independence of the American people. A charge
to a grand iurv was no doubt, introduced, nua
is properly intended to assist them in that dutr
to which they ure called by their country, cut
as topics of this kind are often abstract or tech
nical, digressions, in strictness forelgu to the oc
casion are frequently, and not impfofltably In
dulged. From thevoar 1791 to the year lyy,
Alexander Addison presided in the 5th Circuit or
the Mate or Pennsylvania, composea oi me
counties or Allegheny, Westmoreland and
Washington, and at each session delivered aa
interesting charge to the Grand Juries or the
Courts in the counties In which he reviewed the
whole system of government, the last cf which
he sent to General W ashnigton. and received a
reply, of which the I'oliowing Is a copy :
"Moi st Vehson, 4th March, 1793.
Sit: :
Tour favour of the Slut January, enclos
Ing vour charge to the Giand Juries or the coun
ty Courts or the fifth Circuit or the Stale or
Pennsylvania, at the last December essions,hflt
been duly received, and for the enclosure 1 thank
you. I wish, sincerely that your good example,
in endeavoring to bring the people or these Uni
ted tt lies, more acquainted with the laws and
principles ot their government, was followed,
hey only require a proper understanding of
thee to Judge rightly on all great questions; but
unfurtunalely, infinite more pains is taken to
biind them, by one description or men, than
there is lo open their eyes by the other; which
in my opinion, is.the source of most of the evil
are labour under.
With very great esteem, I am sir, your most
obedient servant.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Alexander Addison, Esq."
It U not my intention to detain yoa on this oc
c i'oi, by r nr lengthy comments, for the princi
ples of oiir liovernment are better understood
now. thaniiey were at an earlier period of onr
National existence, it being then but an experi
ment. But now, alter one hundred years havt
rolled away, during which it has stood the test,
it has become a National saying, that "this is
the best government the world ever saw." All
cur laws arc in some sense made by the people,
and arc intended to have the effect of producing
virtue. We aim at liberty and happiness. We
believe that virtue consists or uceful actions,
proceeding from honest principle. Actions
hurtful to our fellow men must be vicious, and
actions useless to them, cannot deerve the name
of virtue. We do not believe in the actions,
law. and customs or many other Nations oTthi
earth. It is claimed by some that the situation
or men in different ages and countries is essen
tially different.and that actions, which abstract
ly considered, are very different in their nature,
must in different states or society receive the
same name. And the action, which in our
country, is indulged, because accommodated to
the tate of society, thee, in another is prohi
bited, because repugnant to the state or society
thete.
Nothing can be more different than the
views, in which ages and countries have consid
ered the same fact, nnd actions, not only law
ful, but bonorible, in one place or time, are
criminal in another. Suicide and idolatry were
neither disgraceful nor criminal in Ancient
Greece and Rome. In modern Turkey it was
unlawful to taste wine, but a man may at the
same time, marry several wives, and keep sever
al concubines. Such is the degree or popnla-
i lion iu t hina, that the law permits parents to
expose their infants to perish.
To produce virtue, or public utility is the true
end of government. There are three kinds of
government. Monarchy. Aristocracy and Demo
cratic. We believe that the best rorm or
gi vernnieiit. or the government itiot favorable
to virtue is a Democratic Republic. In a Mon
archy, where u single person has the disposal of
all power, authority and benefits, the interests
of every individual leads him lo accommodate
his manners and conduct o the will and inter
est of tbe Monarch only ; for from him only can
lie have hopes or fears" All experience shows
that all tempers and actions will lie wholly sub
mitted to his pleasure. Habitual servility and
baseness, mutual disirutt and treaeherv, indo
lence nnd iguorancc will form the National
character, nnd generally, the description or it is
simple and short ; owe tyrant and many slaves.
A glance at the history or different age and
countries shows nt that a good and wise King,
or Queen, or Monarch, or any name or descrip
tion, has been the exception nnd not the general
rule. Read up tlie times or King John, Henry
the Sth, Charles the 1st, Charles the 2d, James
the Sd, and nearly the whole Hue oT Kings and
LJueeus or our mother country, and see whether
the people there in times past have been blessed
with civil and religious liberty. Queen Victoria
may be as she is styled "a good Queen," and
governed and guided, at she is, by an able and
wise ministry, England to-day Is a proud end
prosperous Nation, but what assurance have
they tha' the next Monarch may not be a ty
rant ? They have not got to go far back in the
past. George' the 3d as we and oui forefathers
knew was a tyrant. ,
Courts or Justice exercised the power of his
lue .ai . a v
cruel will. Lord Lhuncellor jcurji- irieu miu
directed to be eTecutcd the same day more than
eighty persons, and nearly three hundred were
tried aud executed within two weeks. The
"bloody assize" was held whilst we were claim
ed as a province or that counuy and less than a
century before we declared ou: National Inde
pendence. Contrast those days with these,
when even the humblest cili.'ent is guaranteed
a fail and impartial trial by Jury.
Think of eighty trials and executions in one
ii.iv. Sow we soend davs and weeks aud trea
sure w ithout limit to give a fair trial to the
humblest man or woman,
Iu like manner iu an aristocracy where all
power is vested in a few, the interest or each or
their subjects is to promote the interest of the
rulers from whom only the subjects have any
hos or rears. You see here a tew tyrants and
many slaves. There is no inducement and eyery
danger lo virtue.
Iu n democratic republic all power is vested in
the whole enple ; the whole people become the
source of the uopet, prosperity and happiness or
every individual ; and, therefore, the interest of
i'ri' irtliviriiin 1 leaii him to Dromote the in-
f terest of the whole people. The generul nnd in-
dividual interest is thus effectually and insep
aratcly combined and united. The w,bole nation,
I under this rorm or government, presents a pio
j ture and character very different from those al
ready stated, iheireeaom oi me cuitiiiuum
displays itseir iu the sentiments, the manners
aud the conduct or every citizen. There being
no iniliridual or Junto to whose power and di
rection the demeanor or all must be accommo
dated, an unrestrained variety or character is
exhibited ; a general, manly independence pre
vails ; a consciousness or jicwcr gives a dignity
to every citizen, nnd it may be said, as was said
cl" the Roman Senator, that the whole nation Is
a niitlou or kings.
Our cnverninent. haMiilV for US as I said, IS
the last and best kind a deniocatic republic ;
I, nt like all democracies of any coneiderable ex
lent in a rst.rcsentative form, all power is in the
people ; but as it is impossible that the people
should exercise it fictionally, they exercise it by
their deputies. All tbci-e deputies or officers are
hut the iciTcsentative or agents ol the people
The mouths by which the inople speak ; the
hands oy which, the people act ; the people pre
scribe and limit their authority ; the peopiC ap
point them ; the people, call them to account ;
the people reinovn them ; the people wiil ; the
p"Hiie do everything.
Will this country .ever bo ruled by a monarchy
or an aristocracy f I hear you answer no, n,-ver.
That the people of this land never Intend that a
monarchical or any form of government save
that of a democratic republic shall exist here is
manifest from the almost unanimous i-xpicssion
ol nil parties of Congress, of the press and
partv platform, that not even a third term Mial!
he held by any man. No difference whether our
l.resent t hief Magistrate hns rendered good ser
vice to this country or not, the people, it seems, I
areuol willing to tolerate any thing likely to riu
into one man power.
Will this governmeut stand I Ever since you
and I can recollect every year, perhaps, we have
been accustomed to hear and read Ihe predic
tions of politicians or a!l parties, the country
would be ruined ir the Whig party was put into
power, or it would be ruined If the Democratic
party succeeded, and so too. if the Republican
nartv succeeded. All this we have heard nnd il
will continue to be heard throughout all time to
couie. Hut tue country oai ncer oreu hhn
yet, and I am sure il nevsr will be. 1 he reason
is Miuply this : that all power; win in toc
peojilc. We have a democratic republic. If one
party or one set of officer do not do right the
.eople turn them out. 1 ne people. lor me i uu-
lic gooii, vest their otneers wiiu a siuica icuuic
in their offices that they may uot be the slaves
r power or the sport or caprice and So incapa
ble or a proper exercise ol llieir uuiy. i ne ito
ple Is the source or all power, aud this in this
country they wiil never give up ; and whilst the
country may bleed and suiter lor a snori ss.-isoii
the people will themselves bring all things right
ror the public good.
And now. gentlemen or the Jury, you have
met here to eu force the laws or the laud. All
public laws are but the will or the people. And
now, whilst we boast or our good government
and our good laws, let it be remembered that
every country and every State has in all time
been respected ana tue saiety oi me reojuc r
cuie us iu proportion as the laws have been
respected, obeyed and enforced. Many a nation
has fallen, not for the want of good aud whole
some law, but because there was no power or
will to enforce them. Though the l-eople have
entrusted their officers with the exercise of their
power, tnev ought still to remember that the
government Is theirs ; and that their honor, in
terest, happiness and peace depend on the due
administration of all its branches. Every lndi-vid-ial
ought therefore to consider that though
ror his own and for tbe public good he is re
strained from opposing the officers or the public
in tin; Iccal exercise ot their authority ; yet for
his own and ror the public good he is bouud to
support and assist them in the lcgul exercise or
their authority. Every individual onght to con
sitter that It Is" his authority that public officer
arc carrying into execution, aud that he is bound
iu intcres.'., honor and duty to support and asil.t

One. hundred years ago from this day the dec
laration of independence had uot yet been
signed. This was a British province, and it may
not be uninteresting to read the minutes ' of the
first court held lo this county, and in this very
town, in the year 177C.
1 he Court here read tbe minutes of the court
from the original record, at follows :
NORTH M M BERL A N D COUNTY, S3.
At a county Court of general Quarter Ses
sions of the Peace, held at 8nnbury for the
county or Northumberland, the fourth Tuesday

the Third by the grace of God of Great Brlttain,
France nnd Ireland. King, Defender or the
Faith. &c.. before William Plunket. Esquire,

TnE Depabtireof the Slxbi kt Lawtkrs.
A number of the lawyers of Snnbury left in the
several trains on Saturday for the city or Broth
erly Love to attend the Supreme Court during the
week. They were brushed np ana some looked
as though they had reached the botfdm or a new
baud box. In fact some looked so improved that
none but those who were intimately aequaiutcd
knew them. One of the party, we are informed,
consumed just three hours In waxing his mous
tache, and another two and a half, in coloring
his hair lo make, a favorable impression upon the
judges on the Supreme bench. As tbe one o'clock
train approached ths depot, tiers watagraad
fluttering of tha deciples of Blacfcstone, and bag
gage was for once tenderly handled by the Boss
baggage master who looked In vain for a Tee.
Soon nil were rushed on board the parlor cars, as
none cared to toil their good clothe in a common
traveling car. Hands were extended through the
car windows, and "good bye" wa3 heard till
around the depot, and not until then was It dis
covered that each one was well armed with rl6
and rpadtt. which implements, ir they had been
made of iron, would have Ica3 many to believe
that they wore going to break ground for anoth
er Centennial building, hut as the dcepatchcr
with the rich Irish brogue called out'all aboord"'
a big htarttd lawyer flourished a diamond at the
crowd at much as to say, ''I am a trump," and
the cro'vd Is flush, and we'll pluck the first fat
goose that crosses ir pmt. None looked sad as
the train vanished out of sight, and if they arrived
safely at their place of destination, we'll wager a
large apple that Philadelphia never looked upon a
handsomer, .good hearted, and more honorable
net of lawyen than thotc from Sunbury.
A Movcmehtto Caft. Joiik Bbadt. An ffT-rt li
being made to ersct a suitable monument to tho ineni
orj of Cspt. Jcia Brady, in the Muiicy valley, where
he gave his life ia defence of our exposed and burnwed
ancestors in A'-ril, 1779. Capt. Brady was onf of the
erlirt pir.niN of the West Brunch valley, and aa has
beenjn in lx historcial sketch ef ths "HiHtory of the
Kns- iiHrlisnna. now published in the American, was
one of the moeAxaUunt defenders of the early settler in
tiiis vicinity, commemoration of his heroic deeds and
patriotism:, sa nii-l in made for funds and contribu
tions towanld erecting a monument where he spent tho
last years of his lift, and where occurred the tragic
eeeDe of hiu death, anv' where his ashes now rcjHise un
noticed and almost unknown. His memory is warmly
chcriohed by the decendant of the earlier pioneers of
the StiHquehsima.. Large amounts have already been
cniitrihiiled by the citizens along the SiiHOiiehaniu val
ley. Fort Augusts, now withia the limits of our borough,
was tie Captain's headquarters, s he.'e he sent for safety
many f the women and children which were rescued by
bim from the scalping knife of the Indians. A contri
bution should be made by the citizens of this town and
vicinity tiw.irdn nch c worthy object. We belieTe that
there are tui:2red. n this place and other partn of the
county whcv-Hi Cheerfully particijato in nucha project
and make liberal coutributioEs. The money is to be
raised by oe dollar subscriptions which amount can
readily tie raised by avery o:ie who ha an interest iu
Caption llrauv, wuc at his own expense erected a forti
fication for th protection cf our IrHt SHtlers. Kery
patriotic citizens ia appealed to for the small ecutribu!ion
of one dollar for tha erecting of s monument to tlie
memory of one who iniinced his li.V nearly one hun
dred years ago in protecting our ancestors. Will you
doit? All contribution will tie thankfully rrceivd by
J. M. M'Gernerd, Eiq., TJuncy, I.yeomlng cnaiitr. I'j.,
or C,t. Cti. J. lnuir, of Hunbury.
Coon roB ' Mosf-. Many j-crsons got the
idea that Marx & Bro. were going to leave Snn
bury, as it was noticed that many of their goods
were being packed and sent away. Not knowing
of their movements, many expressed regret to
loss such an enterprising firm. We visited their
nore on Wednesday to ascertain what their in
tention was, and found a number of clerks buy
packing goods, but soon learned that they wen
mt going to leave Sunbury , but that they bad
established another store In Perry county where
they are rtmoving their old stock to make room
ror an entire new stock in their store at thi
plane. The ladies particularly wiil bo glad to
learn that they propose to procure a larger stock
or ladies furnishing goods than they had before,
and that it will oe entirely new. Moses, one of
the firm, wiU start for the city on Saturday to
purchase the new stock, which will be opened
next week,-nd we may expect something more
handsome thau has yet been seen lit Suubury, as
he generally buys enough good a time to till
several store rooms.
