ling tho contested fence, il becomes necessary to
prove, first, that the act Of the Commissioners lay-
ing off streets through the grave yard is ncontesta-
bly, legal; secondly, that it deyoyes on the Board
of Trustees as their official duty, to carry said net
into execution. But thu Commissioners being CONF
manSied by Congress have regard TO lots already
surveyed, could make legal act TO run streets
through the grave yard, Of the lots already
Iveyed and occupied. The act Of the Commissions
ers being thus illegal, its execution could not be an
official duty of the Board of Trustees consequent
| y the non-removing Of the fence COULD NOT make
Mr.. Plumbe or any other Trustees guilty of PERU
ny. On the contrary, we could conclude that tho
very strength of this argument leads to believe
that il is the official duty ofthe Trustees defend
the presents limits of tho grave yard as long as the
people will have them 20. If il is proper to say
something moro, Ishall conclude that, judging from
the remorses of the pure conscience Of Mr.. Pumbe,
fence is more considerable object in his eyes
than house the distractions in streets not in ex-
lstence, and only laid off in plat, call for his ex-
tons preferably TO those in street opened since
the first settlement Of the town; the silent remains
OF those who more, absorb tho faculties his
soul more than the noisy living. In WORD he sees
understands, and believes tho obligation Of rcmoy-
ing fence to make way 10 streets through the grave
yard, and this, under the penalty of PERJURY; hut
he does not or notice house built OH central
street of Du Bpque, for the non-removal of which
| he fears not the crime ofPERJURY.
Let man measure The height and depth, length
and breadth of his words before he ventures them
OH the wings ofthat mighty Eagle that flies over O.
ve,y reg ion, speaks to every nation, and has the
power Of life and death--The PREss.
