The failures and swndlius that have been prac

have operated greatly 10 my p:tiudic and many
others MOI necessary 10 mention. But the great
est obstacle of all, and The main reason Of nv
having 10 postpone my rattle, was caused by onr
able. efficient, and, in this instance, very Off
cinus District Attorney. Mir. Ward. who in his
great Zeal III guarding the Interests Of the State
aud protecting The morals Of the people, has
busted himself IN circulating "a report that the
property wou. ii be forfeited 10 the State and
that he would take possession OF it as soon as
drawn. But, Us suppose meanness is one of
the principal components of his na,ure, it would
be difficult, IT not impossible. for him to exist
without exhibiting IL. whenever an opportunity
Is offered. Now. for The satisfaction of every
person, will state and prove, that there is
no law III existence hat Cun confisca,e my prop
