Charges Of the kind that have been made II
true go TO destroy the very foundations OF our
Government We have within recent years
accusations preferred against men on the highest
position in the land-charges specifying details. Yet
there investigation. no result and for one
believe that the existence OF government depends
upon it's ability to bring 10 trial and punish those
who offend against its laws and corrupt its life.
I believe that In the city Of New-YOrk the laws
can be enforced, and offenders made TO suffer but
1, depends largely upon Grand Juries You must
make sacrifices, II necessary. and DO your work
honestly ard well
