responsibilities they act; responsibilities which no
excitement or fanatcism can mitigate or avoid.
The law on this subject was laid down by the
judicial tribunals of the country more than fifty
years ago, and some ten years later re-afirmed
by the highest Court and by the most learned
Judges of our country. 1t is to be found in the
printed reports Of the cases in which it has been
at different times delivered and is of course easily
referred to. To save the reader the trouble Of
searching the books for it, however, we cite from
them, in BRIEF as follows:
Under the Insurrection in 1894, in Western
Pennsylvania, Commonly called the Whiskey In
surrection,) Philip Vizol and John Mitchell were
indicted for treason, consisting of levying war
against the United States, by resisting and pre-
venting, by force, the execution of the laws which
imposed duty on distilled spirits and, after a
full and solemn trial before the Circuit Court Of
the United States, held by Mr.. Justice PATTERsoN
and Judge PETERS, they were convicted and sem
fenced to death. THE sentence was not carried
into execution, President WASHINGTON having
thought the lesson Of the judgment sufficient, and
saved the lives of the criminals under the pardon
ing power.
In 1898 an act was passed by Congress for the
valuation of lands and dwelling-houses, and the
enumeration of slaves throughout the United States;
and in the succeeding year an insurrection took
place in the counties of Bucks and Northampton,
in Pennsylvania, against the execution Of the law.
In the year. John Fries was indicted for trea-
son against the United States for resisting the ex-
ecutlon Of that law, and was convicted before the
Circuit Court of the United States held by Mr..
Justice IREDELL and Judge PETERS. new trial
was granted on the ground that one of the jurors,
before he was sworn, made some declaration unfa-
vorable to the prisoner Fries afterwards tried
on the same Indictment before Mr.. Justice CHASE
and Judge PETERS, and, being found guilty by the
