One grand point to be insisted upon
is to maintain the dignity and ascend
ancy of the law by the integrity Of its
agents. If there is pollution at the
source Of the stream the water Will
surely be impure wherever we stop to
drink. The people must have conf
dence in the law or the law is power
less and they cannot have confidence
in it unless it be administered honest
ly and courageously, through, and by,
honest and upright men.
A scene took place short time since
in Lancaster justice court, which
much more resembled q series OF thcat-
rical situations, than anything that /
can associate with my idea Of legal
trial. On the one hand were found
honest men trying TO secure the con.
viction of o professional thief. They
were there in the interests Of justice
and humanity. While on the other
hand was thief, caught in his own
vile practices, with counsel, who
loaded the witnesses of justice with the
most fantastic inYectives and threat
enings, together with SO much foul
abuse, as to lead one to suspect that
the law was very carelesSly admins
tered in II place whore such scenes
could take place fully believe that
this counsel have so far outgroWn their
catechism, as to believe that their 0a}y
duty is to themselves, and in the grand
march of their intelects have arrived
at the convenient conclusion that
! there is no account to be rendered
after death So it is not at all difficult
to understand how they could consent
to undertake the defense of Il scoun-
drei, or think that their acceptance of
II dirty fee will justify them in the
wholesale abuse of honorable men,
giving the world to understand that
they are as utterly devoid of shame as
they are Of decency or humanity.
am truly sorry that the crcum-
stances of young GUiette's trial should
call for such an explanation, and
guilty as he was proved, had bis de-
fence been conducted in an honorable
manner not one word would have
been said, but us it is, n stigma of
shame has been thrown around that
counsel, which will last us long as
they themselves. X. 0. d.
