serve and lament them, and that We are
fully satisfied, on g careful reference to
the existing statutes, that a practical
remedy for this oYershadowing evil, is
provided by law, only wanting active
application in the prosecution of those
violating its provisions, to render it eff
cacious. That the persistent and long
violation o fthese laws, onthe part Of those
engaged in this illegal traffic, most i'm.
peratiyely demands the corporation of

spectfully recommend, that such meas
