THE Law oFTHE LAND.

From thslaie prolonged agitation throughout our
country of important domestic questions, it is salts
factory to believe that one beneficial effect at least
has flowed, VIZ! tfe eniightenihg tie minds Of the
masses of the People on the nature Of their duties
as good citizens, and of their obligation such to
obey the law of the land, even when it conflicts
with their individual opinions of what the law ought
to be. After the very free discussions upon this
head, and the several expositions of this duty by
the highest judicial authority, and by the most emf
nent statesmen as well as jurists of our country,
there can be now no excuse for ignorance or mis-
apprehension on the part Of any sane man, in any
station of life, upon the subject.
In addition TO the judicial opinions which we
have heretofore published, we are glad to have it
in our power to-day to spread before our readers
so much Of the late Charge Of Mr.. Justice NELSON
to the Grand Jury for the New York United States
Circuit Court as relates to the Act Of Congress of
= September last which has been the subject of so
much Misrepresentation and contention. This
, charge is eminendy entitled TO be studied by all
reasonable doubters on this subject, as well from
its Intrinsic merit as from the high legal character
of the Judge by whom il was pronounced.
We shall add nothing in the way Of comment
upon production which requires none, contenting
ourselves with repeating and adopting, in spiri,
Of entire conviction, the remarks with which the
Charge" closes, as follows:
" This Union must and shall be preserved, if at
all, by that stern oldfashoned honesty and prin-
ciple which inculcates the fu6lment of the whole
= of our constitutional duties and obligations, and
every part of them twas this spirit that formed
the compact and has thus far preserved it through
all its trials and assaults and it is this spirit that
r.. must and will, trust, carry it safely hereafter
s.. through whatever pers and misfortunes may be
- destined to encounter
s'As men possessing these sturdy and manly
virtues have thus far been found in the Republic,
x equal to every trial and exgency, SOL do not doubt
=. they will be hereafter. And they will have their
reward-the blessing Of all good men Of the times
in which they live and Of unborn millions, who
will be indebted to them, under the favor Of Hea-
ven, for the rich heritage they enjoy"
