may have operated upon wesk.mnded men 10 the
complisbment Of their design, and prevented enlist

place. The Grand Jurors therefore invoke the auen-
ton Of the District Attorney Of this County to the
prosecution Of The editors and propretors Of the
papers named, IF after this public notice Of their evil
course, they should perss, in thus continuing TO give
aid and comfort to the enemie. Of the Government aud
