Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
WHENEVER we view and confider mankind,
we shall find all engaged in the pursuit of
happiness. The Savage and the polished Citizen,;
invariably pursue the fame object : But it must be|
acknowledged, that rhe motives and the views of
each are in some measure different. The former
conceives his felicity to consist in gratifying his
own spirit of revenge and in ruling and governing
hirnfelf according to the dictates of his own uncul
tivated nature ; while the latter confiders that his
happiness is connected with that of others, and
consists in promoting, increasing and securing the
felicity of all, and ensuring to the peaceable and
indoftrious the quiets poffeffiop of the property
which they have acquired. Those advantages ap
pear so ftrikirigly superior to what could be obtain
'ed in a date of nature, that it is far from being
surprising th,it government was,at an eafrly|period,
instituted by the general consent of mankind.
The forms of governments have been constantly
varying io almost every country according to the
temper of its inhabitants, its situation and its cir
cumstances ; or the influence which the politics of
other countries have had upon their national con
cerns. As those forme were at firff but the hasty
works of chance or the product of inexperience, it
cannot be thought strange that mankinds have, for
a long time been divided in sentiment refpeding
the best form of government for rendering the
people peffe&ly and permanently happy.
The present inhabitants of the United States of
America have enjoyed advantages which no other
people could ever boast ; they, having had in com
mon with others rhe benefit of reading and consi
dering the various fyftbms of every other country ;
having been, for a long time, under a government,
formerly fuppofecf to approach as near perfection as
any that had appeared in rhe World; and having
on trial discovered the defers of many systems in
vented and pradifed upon in America since the
Last Tuesday the Federal Court, for New
hampfhire Diftrid/was held in this town, when the
Hon. Judge SULLIVAN gave the
following CHARGE to the GRAND JURY.

You are, Gentlemen, to present all crimes and
offences, cognizable by the authority of the United
States, and committed within this difr.ct, or upon
the high seas, by the inhabitants of the diftricL
who were such at the time of committing the of
fence, and are now residing in the fame; where no
other punishment than whipping, not e-:ceding
thirty stripes, a fine not exceeding one hundred
dollars, or a term of imprisonment not exceeding
fix months, is to be infilled: Also al breaches of
the Revenue Laws of the United States.
Gentlemen as it is of theotmoft importance that some
Revenue should be provided for the support of gov

provision therefor in this Republic 6y Law, it be
comes your duty in a very particular manner to
guard againd, and present all breves of the Re
venue Laws of the United States. Those Laws,
if Hrialy attended tQ and well executed, will lay
the burthens for the support of Government, equal
ly on all : ^ut if neglected or fuffered to be violat
ed, the artful and designing will avoid bearing an
equal part with their brethren, and will sow the
feeds of jealousy and discontent, so as to reader
Government weak and contemptible.
Gentlemen, I know of no particular crimes com
mitted within this diftri& or upon the high seas,
cognizable by this Court, that will claim your at
tention at this feffibn. The Attorney for the Uni

thing that may have come to his knowledge,^ give
you his opinion upon such clause„ of the Laws of
the United States, as may fall under your consider

and integrity you mav fafely rely.
