of the grand jury, are occasionally called out,

oath TO the discharge of this public trust.
You are the representatives of the whole peo-
| pie of Northumberland county, sitting In judg-
| ment on the lives, liberties, fame and fortunes
of your fellow citizens, and you ought, in this
high capacity, to feel yourselves eXbalted above
every little prejudice or private interest, with no
other motive but public justice, no other rule
but the laws, and should discharge your duty
with that accuracy and care which an Office, in
which depends the liberty Of the country, can
demand from men of conscience il a public
station.
One hundred years ago from this day the dec
laration of independence had not yet been
signed. This was British province, and it ma y
