I'VE, the Grand Jury, being deeply impressed with
the state Of things around u.s. cannot close session
without reminding all officers Of the peace magistrates
and Others of the great necessity that exists Of
the combined efforts Of the abolition societies OF the
North, in disseminating their ncendiary publications
among u.s. and do most earnestly request of all such off,
GERS diligently to enforce the various acts of the Legs
eture passed in reference free negroes and slaves of
this Commonwealth; and do also further urge them
hereafter to order out patroes in the different secons
OF the county, to insure in these critical times the peace
and safety of the good people Of the county.
