which has lately been strikingly developed in this
city, is already perceptible in the interior of the
State, appears by the petitions OF one hundred and
thirty ladies of Oneida county, recently presented
to the legislature Albany praying for relief from
the alarming and frightful OF seduction and
adultery all through Oneida; which progress, they
say is powerful that it threatens to sweep away
all the vrtuous and chaste people that at present
remain in that county.
The Legislature, with commendable ZEAL have
taken the matter in hand, and have presented the
following
Of the committee the internal affairs of towns
and counties, the petition of one hundred and
thirty ladies of Oneida for a law for the punish
ment OF seduction and adultery.
Mr.. Croker from the committee the internal
affairs of towns and counties, TO which was referred
the petition of hundred and thirty ladies of the
county of Oneida, praying the passage OF law for
the punishment of the crimes of seduction and adul-
terry, and also the keepers and tenants of houses of
il-fame with Imprisonment for such time shall
make the penalty 4" terror to evil dOers, together
with certain interesting documents accompanying
the same,
That they have had the same under consideration,
and profoundly penetrated with the depOrable
condition of things in the county OF Oneida. The
committee have been pleased to observe the com
mendabe zeal Of the gentlemen attending this house
from that county in their attempts to arrest the
frighttu tide of crime by which their constituents
are oyerborne. That zeal has been eminently
displayed by their sending their petitions for relief
from those evils, which represented to be de-
strucive to the best interests of individuals, fami-
lies and society at large in the county OF Oneida to
various standing committees OF tins House
But your committee would further represent, that
heretofore all petitions upon the same subject with
the petition above mentioned, have been referred to
the standing committee on the Judiciary That upon
the judiciary committee gentlemen representing
three of the largest cities of this State, of whose
knowledge Of and experience in relation to- the sub
be unjust to deprive the petitioners, and to which
knowledge and experience the committee on internal
affairs make no pretension They therefore ask to
be discharged from the further consideration of this
petition, and that the with the very interesting
&C com panyng documents, be referred to the stand
ing committee on the judiciary.
This is all very well, so far as it goes; but we
hope the standing committee on the judiciary will
not drop the subject here We hope they will ferret
out all "the evil doers'' complained of by the
hundred and thirty ladies of Oneida county, and pub
lish their names, and list Of their delinquencies.
But, if they have any qualms conscientious
pies the subject let them just forward the on
teresting Documents and have a standing
committee in this office attend all such subjects,
we will very fix matters to the satisfaction Of
the hundred and thirty ladies of Oneida county.
