The Grand Jury and Cour, Of Sessions.

Our Court of Sessions, Judge Miller presiding,
with Justices Jones and Adams, Associates, has
been busily engaged during the past week. fre-
quently continuing their sittings till after night.
The Grand Jury was discharged on last Satnr-
day, having presented sixteen different indict
ments, under which fourteen arrests have alrea-
dy been made. The majority of these indictments
are for misdemeanors over which Justices of the
Peace have jurisdiction. concurrent with the
Court of Sessions. and it is to be regretted that
this Grand Jury did not pur.ue tie wise policy
pursued by their immediate predecessors, and
leave this lower grade of offences to the more
speedy and economical trials had in Justices
Courts. Various heavy expenses to the County
treasury, already too heavily drawn upon, would
by this course be avoided, and the administra-
ton of the law attended with results equally sal
utary.
The class of persons who commit these misde-
meanors, after being either acquitted or convict.
ed under Indictment consider themselves licensed
to pursue these prohibited practices at least til
the succeeding Grand Jury is empannellcd, ,iwhcn
they leave the County. or are prepared to stand
the people an expensive trial. Let complaint be
made TO the Justices of the Peace, and convictions
had even once, they will thereby learn that they
may lie proceeded against daily, and we think
msdcmcanors will be Of less frequent occurrence.
Although but few of the Indictments have
becl tried as yet, still great mass of the bust
ness OF The Court has been disposed of, and many
very important and interesting decisions rendered
upon questions arising in the progress of the
causes. Should the Court continue its session
uhtil the whole business is transacted. aud the
cases to be tried excite as much interest as those
disposed Of. ii is d icult to say when an adjourn

Two years age, their only capital was opposl-

mated as above, the man who boasts of having or
ganized every Know Nothing lodge in the county,
and who declares that his Know Nothing princi-
pies are as dear 10 his heart they ever wereand
who has repeatedly said that had there been any
prospect Of the Know Nohings obtaining the as
cendancy he would not have united with the slav-
ocrats.
During about 80 years, the shamocrats have been
unceasing in their hostility to U. s. Bank, Not
satisfied with killing the monster and kicking its
corpse, they have pursued its very name with an
insane hatred. Now they have nominated for n
law maker one who has been and still is the friend
of u. S. Bank one who believes it the best f.
nancal institution that was ever conceived, aud
who wonld to-day vote for its re-estnblshment
could his vote be effective to that end.
During some 80 years they have professeI the
most violent opposition 10 Banks, shaving shops,

posts and who would certainly not vote to diyest
himself of bis capital in business.
They have always proicssed great love for for

The Fraud.

For the purpose of reconciling the rank and
file to the support of Norton, it is now stated
publicly upon the streets BY the slavocratic
leaders, that notwithstanding he was very loud
last Fall, in his advocacy of Filmore's election,
still he intended and ultimately did vote for
Buchanan. That where he could secretly induce
Know Nothing to vote directly for Buchanan
he did so, but when he could not succeed to
that extent, he would by open professions of the
highest regard for Mr. Fillmore, strive to befool
Others into the support Of thr gentleman. In
other words though proessedly an American, he
was in reality Slavocra'-delberate decev-
ing and belraying his political friends for the
purpose of weakening Fremont and strengthing
Buchanan. Daily did lie practice fraud upon
those whose confidence he had secured.
Aud now we would, in all sincerity, ask every
good and conscientious citizen whether he who
has practiced such arts, is worthy the counte E
nance and support of any honest man? If so,
there is then no difference between fraud and
ircachery upon the one hand and honor and virtue
upon the other. Then is the meanest and most
dishonorable conduct entitled to as great rewards
as the highest and noblest exercise of integrity
and moral excellence. Aud will good men those
who have r4garl for their regulations and the
b'st interests of society, bestow rewards upon
sin and iniquty, by voting for men guilty of
such practices? viii fathers, BY such conduct,
say to their sons, there is no difference between
vice and virtue, save in nam; both are entitled
to the same bounics?' viii they deliberately
strike down all incentives to moral worth?
But it is said by these conscientious trickstsrs
and leaders, that such conduct is entirely iusti-
fiabe-that it is right to obtain political ascen.
dancy by any means possible We say, that he
who is a knave in politics will be a knave in
other things; that he who is mean, dishonorable
and treacherous in politics will be so in all other
matters; that he who w Il bargain and sell his
political friends, will if occasion offers bargain
and sell his private and business friends; in short,
that he who is dishonest in politics, is dishonest
in all things else, and it only requires an oppor-
tunity for him to establish that fact.
Some of our slavocratic leaders would fain
have us believe that they are rejoiced over the
anticipated acces sions TO their ranks, and their
own debasement But we would ask them, what
assurance have they that their present pet will
not for price, sell them out, as he did his
Know Nothing friends? If the statements of
his present vouchers are true, his political integ-
rity is of the most suspicious character.
But is it not fact, thai he was taken to their
embrace and nominated to an important office,
because he had proved himself heartless in-
triguer; an inscriptions politician: political
gambler? His attempted advent to public life
is certainly under very hattering auspices.
