UNITED STATES CIRCUIT CoURT.-Judges Camp
bell and McCdteb. presiding.-The Grand Jurors in
this court were convened yesterday, to receive i
charge from Judge Campbell in regard TO the African
slave trade, and its supposed in this
State. The charge was lengthy and strongly worded
The Judge made an exposition of the acts OF Con-
gress with reference to piracy. and impressed upon
ne Jurors the stern necessity that existed for discoy
ering and Furnishing violations of those acts. The
slave trade was pronounced to be piracy byone Of the
acts of Congress- and in treating it the Judge spoke
OF it as piracy and piracy Of the most heinous de-
scription. He divided the save-traders into three
classes, to wit: The principals those who nan the
ships seize the Africans, and bring them to this
country the accessories before the fact those who
staying at home, plan the voyages. t out the ships
procure the crews, and attend to the imposure and
fraud necessary to eiude the officers of the law in or
der to secure clearance OF the shps the
after the fact or those who buy or trade in the ne
groes after their arrival IN this country Speaking Of
he before the aet or those who plan slave
trading voyages and MT out the ships the Judge re-
marked: Ihefe Is an opinion that there are in New
Orleans persons OF this class and that this crime has
been committed here II is fact. we believe, that
the Echo sailed from ths port and there have been
one or more seizures here, in which circumstances OF
suspicion existed"
The law Of Congress was distinctly laid down,
that negro brought from Africa to this country ia
not slave, and cannot lawfully be- held as such.
The charge concluded as follows:
:" 1t cannot be denied that numerous instances of
eccentrlclty on the part OF juries have brought re-
proaeh upon and some dstrust Of this great nstitu-
tlon lof the common law. But it is q hasty judg-
ment to condemn the Institution itself, and perous
decision to commit crime in the confidence that inf
deity and corruption will be permanent among men
associated under the laws 30 perform the highest
duty OF a government-that Of administering its
justice When this is the habtual state Of j1ries,
our case Will be nearly hopeless, for it will betoken
the unworthness OF the community which they in
general larry represent IN Its moral and intellectual
when laws can have no obedience and authority no
respect; when restraint becomes insupportable and
nothing but laxty and licentiousness permitted.
Without aoyal submission to the laws, there can
be no liberty and the liberty that community can
enjoy is proportioned to their fidelity to their obga-
tions of duty. The conclusion that the great popu-
lar institution through which the fathers of The
Constitution have associated the different members Of
the community in the enforcement of the oblipaons
determined by the laws can be SO degraded as TO he
come the sanctuary of pirates and persons associated
to realize the sordd and wicked gains OF piracy. i'm
plies that we have become unfit for that ibertv that
the Constitution Of our country was made to Secure
| for ourselves and our posterity,
