PREsEyTMENr OF TREAsoNABLE PAPERS By =
U. S. GRAND JURY.-The following is copy
of the presentment made against sundry pa
pers in New York, which are lending aid aud
comfort to the enemy. We have frequently
urged the proprety of similar action in this
State:
70 the Circut Court of He United States
for tile Southern District IF New York The
lea for the southern District of New York
beg leave to present the following facts to
the Court, and ask its advice thereon:
There are certain newspapers within this
District, which are in the frequent practice
of encouraging rebels now in arms against
the General Government, hy expressing SYM
pathy aud agreement with them, the duty
Of acceding TO their demands, and dissats
faction with the employment Of force to over
come them Thee papers arc the New York
Daily and " Weekly journal OF Commerce, the
Daily and Weekly News, the Daily and
Weekly Day Book, the Freeman's Journal
all published in he city Of New Y York-nnd
the Daily and Weekly Ergle-published in
TIE city of Brooklyn. The first named of
these has just Published list Of newspapers
in the free States opposed to what it calls
"the present unholy war"-a war in defense
Of our country and its institution, ana our
most sacred rights, and carried on solely for
the restoration of the authority Of the Gov
crnmeut
The Grand Jury are aware Chat free gov
eruuents allow liberty of speech and If the
press to their utmost limit; but there is never
thelcss limit. If person in lorlross or
an army were to preach to the soldiers sub
mission to the enemy, he would h4 treated as
an offender Would he be more cupahle
than the citizen. who, in the midst of this
most forhiiahlc conspiracy and rebellion,
tells the couspirators and rebels that they
are right encourages them to perse-
we're in resistance and condemns the effort of
loyal citizens to overcome aud punish them
a. engaged in an ''uuhoIy war" If the ut
teraucc OF such language in the streets or
through the press IS not crime, then there
is defect in our laws, as they were not
made for such an emergency. The conduct
Of these di>loyol papers is Of course, con-
drmned and nbhOyye1 hy all loyal mcR, but
,he Grand Jurv will he glad TO learn from
the Court that it is also subject to indictment
and coudign punishment
All which is respectfully presented.
