and order. and civilization that abound
in this capital and in this county, the
seat of the capital of the youngest ter
ritory in the Union. Macaulay, in his
history of England, alludes to the fact
that the peace of their streets, the Sc
curity of their homes are due not only
to good laws, but to good laws wisely
administered. Any court is powerless
to enforce law against the consent,
against the wishes of a people; but in
50 far AS its judicial officers become the
agents of public sentiment and reflect
public opinion they become powerless
to suppress vice, crime and immortality,
and strengthen the bonds of the law
and order, and to make the cOmmuni-
ties in which they respectively exercise
power conspicuous alike for good order
and good government.
l observe before me citizens repre-
senting every shade of sentiment and
opinion IN the community. l see a
foreman who has the ability, and the
jury who have the capacity rightly to
interpret their duty, and to aid the
court in the administration of law.
The court then instructed the grand
