SPEECH OF MR. WEBSTER. b
Recent evils have not all surprised me, ex* »
cent that they had come sooner and faster tin n *
I had anticipated. But though not surprise g
lam afflicted; I fed any thing out pleasure in »
■sn this early fulfillment of my predictions.— 1
Much injury is done which the wisest future 1
councils can never repair, and nuch more 1 hat
never can be reminded but by such councils
and by the lapse of lime.” From 1832 to the
present moment 1 have seen this result. 1 J'
may safely say 1 liave foraeen it because 1
have presented, and proclaimed its approach
in eeory important discussion and dubiitc in ’
the public body pf which lam a member.—
In 1832 I happened t« meet wi ll a citizen m '
Wheeling, now present who has this day re- 1
minded me, of what I then anticipated, as *
die result of the measures which the Admin
miration appealed to be torming in regard to 1
f thb ctfrrency. In the summer of the next ‘
year (-1880) I was liere, and suggested to
friends Winn i knew to bo resolved upon by the
Executive, vis .-thc removal of the deposite*,
which was announced two months afterwards.

It is with oo (outings of boosting or triumph,
•if is will) no disposition to arrogate superior i
wisdom or discernment, but it is with morti- 1
fiication, with humiliation, griefland affliction, 1
that 1 contemplate the condition of difficulty '
and distress to which this country, so vigor- 1
ous, so groat, so enterprising, and so rich in i
internal wealth, lias been brought by Urn po’.i- 1
• cy of her government.
We learn to-day that most of the Eastern '
Ranks have stopped payment; dcposit.e banks 1
as well as others. The Experiment Ims ex- •
fooded. That bubble which so inn ny of ns
have all along regarded ns the offspring of |
conceit, presumption, and politicsquackery; 1
has hurst. A general suspension o f payments *
must be the result; a result which lias come, I
even sooner than was prodiclod. Whoro is 1
now that better currency that wan promised 1 '

posiles, which the law requires to t« made
with the Htatca on the Ist July, nnwlube
made ] Wo must go back to the bi ‘ginning
and take a new start. Every stop ii i our fi
nancial and banking system since 1 832 lias
been a false stop. It lias conducted u«. further
and further from the pall) of safety.
The discontinuance of (lie national bank,
•the illegal removal of the doposites, the accu
mulation of the public tovenuo in bunks sole cl
ed by the executive, and for a long lime sub
ject to no legal‘regulation or restraint, and
finally the unauthorized and illegal Treasury
older, have brought us where wo aro. Tho
destruction of the national bank was the si#-
nal for the creation of an unprecedented num
ber of now Stain banks, tomu of them with
morcdis irhporlionato and even more nomi
nal captlai than the national hank had pet- .
scasod. These banks lying under no re
straint fron llic general government or any at
its institutions, issued paper corresponding
to thoirown sense of their immediutu inter
eats and hopes of gain; the deposite with the
Stale bunks, of the whole public revenue then
accumulated to a vast amount, and making
this deposits without any legal restraint or
control whatever, increased both the power
and disposition ot these hanks for extensive
issues. In that, the government seems to
have administered every possible provocation
to tlie banks, to induce them to extend their
circulation. It uniformly, zealously, and suc
cessfully opposed the land bill a must useful
measure, by which accumulation In thoTroas
•wy would have been prevented; and, as if it
desired ami sought this accumulation, it finally
resisted,with all its power,the doposites among
the Slates, ’ll is advanced as a reason lor tho
present overthrow that an extraordinary spirit
id '•peculation has gone abroad, am) has been
manifested, particularly and strongly in tho
endeavor to purchase tho public lands; but
has not every act of the government directly
encouraged this spirit! It accumulated rev
enue which it did not need, all of which it
left in the deposite banks. The banks had
money to lend, and there were enough who
were ready to borrow, for the purpose of pur
chasing the public lands at government pri.
ces. The public Treasury was thus made
the great and efficient means ot effecting
those purchases which have since been so
denoudeed as extravagant speculation and
extensive monoply. These purchaser* hor.
rowed the public money; they used llicpub
lie money to buy the public properly; they
speculated on the strength of the public mon
ey; and while all this was going 00, and cv
ery man saw it the Administration resisted :o
the utmost of its power every attempt to
withdraw this money from the banks and
from the hands of those ..peculators and dis
tribute it among the people to whom it be
longed. If there has been overtrading, the
the government has encouraged there lias
been rash speculation in the public lands, the
government has furnished the means out
ot tire Treasury. These unprecedented sales
of the public domain, were boasted of as
•proofs of a happy state of things, and of a
wise administration of the govern ni nt, down
to the Moment when Congress, in opposition
to executive wishes, passed the distribution
law, thus withdrawing tho surplus revenue
from the deposite hank*. The success of
that measure compelled a change in tho Exe
cutive polity, as the accumulation of a vast
amount of oicacy m the Treasury was no
longer desirable.
This is the most favorable motive to which
1 can ascribe tho Treasury order of July. It
is now «aid f liet the order was issued lor the
purpose of enforcing a strict execution of the
law which forbids the allowance of credits ,
upon purchases of the public hods but there \
»va» no such credit allowed before; not bo ,
hour was given beyond the time of sale In ,
this resppect the order produces no diiforenco (
whatever. Its only elfoct is to require an mi- ,
mediate payment m specie, whereas before ,
an immediate payment iu Uio hill* Os specie- ,
payment hanks was demanded. There is no ,
more cre'dit in the one esae than in the other a
and llw Government get* jrfst as much specie ,
in one case as in the other for nosocnor is the (
specie which the purchaser is compelled to 1,.
procure, often at great charge, paid to the ! |j
receiver, tfi»« it is sent to flic deposite banks 1 d
and the Government has credit for it onlhc w
books of the bank; but the sp“cio itself u tr
again sold by the bank or disposed of as it c<
sees fit. Ill* evident that tho Government tt
gels nothing by alt tills, though tho purchas- ei
sere and especially the purchasers of small tj
tracts, are put to greet trouble and expense, u
No one gams any Hung but the banks and a
the brokers. It is moreover most true, that c
the art of man could roll have devised u plan b
more effcclu,ill) to give ll C large purchascisor p
speculators a decided prelerence and advan- u
In go over small puich-sCrs, who purchased n
lor actual sell lenient, than lh# Treasury order r
ot July, 1630. The stoppage ot the banks
liowevever has now placed the actual settlor t
in a still more unfortunate situation. How f
is lie to obtain money to pay for his quarter s
section. 7 Jlo must travel three or tour times »
as many miles for it as bo lias dollars to pay r
even if lie hlhiiilil be able U> obtain it at the o
end ofthttt journey.
I will not soy that other causes, both at t
home and abroad, have hot bad an agency I
in bringing about Uio present derangement. 1
I know that credits have been used beyond’d
all former example that it is propable the c
spirit of trade bus been too highly excited, ■
that the pursuit of business may have been
pressed too fast and too far. All this lam t
ready to admit. Rut, instead of doing any ]
ibing to abate its tendency, rmr Government i
lias been tiro prime instrument of fostering (
and encouraging it. It lirs parted voluntan- i
ly, and by advice, with nil control over tlic i
actual currency of the country, ll has given i
a free and full scope to tho spirit of banking; ‘
it has aided the sp ,rit of speculation with the
public treasure, c nd it lias done all this in the
midst of loud-'.onmling promises of an ex
clusive specie medium, end a professed de- 1
testation of s'.l banking institutions.
It is in vam, therefore lo ssy that the pres
ent slate of affairs is owing, not to Iho acts of
Oovcrnr.iant but to the oilier causes over
which tl'.c Government hud no control. Much
of it if owing to tho course of the National
Government; and what is not so to cause tho
operation ot which Government was bound
in <1 uiy to use all ils legal powers lo control.
l.s there an intelligent man in the commu
nity at this moment, who beloives that it the
Rank of the U. States hod been continued,
ifthc dopes'tea had not removed; if the specie
ijircnlar had not been issued, |hu financial af
i.uir* of Iho country would have been in ns bad I
n stale as they now are? When certain con*
sequences are repealedly depicted ond fore- i
told, from particular.causes; when iho man. i
nor in which llieso consequences will be pro. '
duced is precisely pointed out beforehand;
and when the consequences como in the man- i
nor foretold, who Will stand up and declare i
that notwithstanding all this there is no cmi- i
nexion between the cause.& the consequence, i
and that all these effects arc nttribntuhlu to I
some oilier causes, nobody knows what/
No doubt we shuU hearevery cause but the. I
true ones, unsigned for the present distress, i
It will bo laid lo the Opposition in and out of I
Congress, it will bo lui *to the bunk, it w.ll bo <
laid to the merchants, it will bo laid to the I
manufacturers, it will bo hud to tbo tariff, it l
will bo laid to tho north star, or to tho malign '
influence of tho last comet, whoso tail swept i
I near or across the orbit of our earth, ho Core
we shall, be allowed to ascribe it to its just,
main causes—a tampering with the currency,
and an attempt to stretch Executive power
over a subject not constitutionally within its
reach.
Wo have hoard, gentlemen, of tho suspen
sion of some of tho Eastern hanks only ; but
I feat the same course may be adopted py all
tho bank* throughout the country. Tho 11. S.
Hunk, now u mere State institution, with no
public depcsitos, no a d from ' Government,
but, on (lie contrary, long an object of biller
persecution by it, was, at our latest advices,
still firm. Hut cun wo expect ot that bank to
make sacrifices to continue specie payment ?
If it continue to do so, now the deposite banks
liavo stopped, tho Government will draw from
it its last dollar, if it can do so, in order lo
keep up a pretence of making its own pay
ments in specie. I shall be glad if this insti
tution find it prudent and proper lo bold out;
but as it owea no more duty lo the Govern
ment than any oilier bank, and, of course,
much less than I lie deposite hanks, I cannot
see any ground for demanding from it efforts
anil sacrifices lo favour tho Government,
which those holding the public money, and
owing duty tb tho Government are unwilling
t r unable to make; nor do I sue how the
t\ ow England banks can stand alone in the
gi. neral crush. I believe those in Massaclm
set's are very sound, and entirely solvent—
I In wo every confidence in their ability to
pay; ami I shall rejoice if, amidst tho present
wrcc h. we find them able lo .»ilhstnnd the
storm -but at the same time 1 confess I shall
not bo i lisnppoinled, if they, seeing no public
object to bo attained, proportioned to the pri
vate loss, and individual sacrifice mid ruin,
which must result from tho means necessary
to enah lo them lo hold out, should net tie dis
tinguish ml from their Southern and Western
llpighb" rs.
1 belie ve, gentlemen, the “experiment" must
go through. 1 believe every part ami portion
nl our country will have u satisfactory taste
of the “hotter currency.” 1 believe wo shall
be blessed again with the currency of 1612,
when money was tho only unourreut spe
cies of properly. We have amid all the dis
tress that surrounds tie* men in anil out of pow
er, who condemn u National Bank, in every
form, maintain tho chV ' ac . v of State banks for
domestic qxchango, mid --midst all the suffer
ing and terrors of the “e.\pk , ‘ me,lt '” cry out
that they are establishing a “beu'd currency.”
Too ' experiment”—The experin. ‘ :nt u P on
whall The experiment of one man ’’on tho
happiness the well being and I maya. v|ost
say upon the lives of twelve millions of In,’*
man beings. An “experiment” that found
us in health, that found ns with the best cur
rency upon the race of the earth, (lie same
from the North lo tho South, from Heston to
St. Louis, equalling silver or gold in any part
oftho Union, and possessing tho unlimited
confidence oftho European Powers and peo
ple, ond leaves us crushed, ruined without
means at homo, mid with out credit abroad.
This word “experiment" appears like to
get into no enviable notoriety. It may pro
bably be held, in future, to signify any thing
which is too excruciating lo bo borne—like
tho rheumatism, or an extraordinary twinge
ot the gout. Indeed, from the experience wo
now have, wo may judge that the eminence
of the Inquisition may bo superseded by it, mid
if one shall be hereafter stretched upon the
rack, or broken on the wheel, it may bo said
while all Ins bones are cracking, all his mus
clcs snapping, all his veins are pouring, that
he is only passing into a batter state through
the delightful process of an experiment”
Gentlemen, you will naturally ask where is
this to end and what lobe the remedy? These
ore questions of moment mis importance, but
probably tin; proper moment has not come lor
considering t his. We are yet in the midst of
thd whirwind, and scarcely able lo hold our
fiats on. Every man’s thoughts aro turned to
his own immediate preservation. When the
blast is over and we have breathing time, the
country must take this subject, tins all impor
tant subject of relief for tho present, and secu
rity for the future; intuits most serious con
sideration. It will undoubtedly first engage
the attention and wisdom of Congress. It
will call on public men entrusted with public ‘
affairs, to lay asside parly and private prefer- i
•nc< 8 and prejudices, and unite in the great I
work of redeeming the country from this
state of disaster and disgrace. All that I «
mean at present to say, gentlemen, is, that the i
Government ot the United States stands '
chargeable, in my opinion, with a gross dorr
fiction from duty in leaving the 'currency ot ~
the Country ctgjrfcly at the mercy of others;' v
yithoiit seeking to cxcrc.M! dvcritany cop- .
rol whatever. Tlie mean* of excrcumg this 91
sontrol rest* in the wisdom of congress, but
tie duty I bold to be imperative. It is a pow- cal
sr dial cannot bo yielded to others with sale- ry
ty to itself or to them. U might as well give ev<
up lliu power ot making or war to the States, ole
and let twenty-six independent sever- ■■
eigntics to select their own toes, raise tbeir
bwn troops and conclude their own terms ot
peace. It miglit as well leave the Slates, lo
impose tbeir own terras and treaties of com- la'
murce, aa lo give up oil control over tiie cur- be
rency, in which all are interested. wi
The present Government tias been in opera-
tion forty-eight ytars. During rarty of these
forty-eight years wc have had a national in
stitution performing the duties of a fiscal
agent to the Government and exercising a 111
must useful control of the dontcstic exchanges V
and over the currency of Iho country. Ihe \
first institution was chartered on the ground j r
that on such an institution was necessary lo ((
the safe and economical administration of the
Treasury Department in the collection and
disbursiuents of its revenue. The experience
of (he new Government had clearly proved its
loccssity. c
At that time however, there were V.jee \
who doubted the power of congress, unt'.er the ,
provisions of the Constitution to inc orporate
a bank; but n majority of both Hc .ges were s
of different opinion. President Washington 1
sanctioned the measure, and among those 1
who doubled, those of most weight and con
sideruliou in the country cad whoso opinions
wore entitled to tho liig'iosl degree of respect ]
yielded to the opinio l ., of Congress and the (
country, ami considered it a settled question.
Among those who first doubted ot tbo power
of the Government was one whose name should (
never be mnr .tuned without respect and ven- 1
erulioii as one man can or ought lo feel for an- 1
other, or.e who was intimately associated with j
all the features of the Constitution, Mr. Mndi- ,
son; yet when Congress had decided on the
measure, by large majorities, when the Presi
dent bad approved it, when the judicial tribun- I
als bud sanctioned it, when public opinion had I
deliberately and decidiglly confirmed if, he t
looked on the subject as definitely and finally
■c tiled.
The rcasonors otour doy think olhfertVihe. ,
No decision, no public sanction, no judgment (
oft.lie tribunals is allowed to weigh against
their own respect for tbeir Own opinions.
They rush to the argument as to thatdfa new t
question despising all lights bbtthatof their e
own unclouded sagacity, and careless of the c
venerable living and of the mighty dead.
They poisethis importanttjdestjon upon some .
small points ot their own slender logic and
and decide it On the strength of their own '
unintelligiblb metaphysics. It ncVbr enldrs f
into all their thobghtu tlial lliis is a fjuestion
lobe judged of on broad, comprehensive ami
practical grounds; still less does it occur to
them that an exposition of the Constitution,
cotemporuncous with its earliest existence.no- (
ted on (or nearly half a tientuoy, in which the >
original (Varnei a and government officers of \
the liigliesl notes concurred, ought tb liave
any weight in their decision or inspire them
with the least doubt of tho accuracy and (
soundness of their awn opinions. They soar |
so high in the regions of self-respect us to be ,
fui beyond the reacli of all such considers- ,
lions. |
For sound viewi Upon thb subject of a ;
national bank, 1 would commend you, gen- ,
tleihen, to tho messages of Mr. Madison, dial i
lo'his message on the subject. That they are 1
the views Os a truly great man and a states- i
man. I
As the first bank of (ho United States had i
its origin in necessity, so had the second ; |
ami although there was misfortune, and ccr- •
tainly something of mismanagement in its I
early career, no candid and intelligent man I
can for a moment doubt or deny its useful- 1
ness, or that it fully accomplished tho object
for which it was created. Exchanged; dur
ing all the later years of Its existeucb, were
easily effected, and a currency the must uni
form of aby in the wOHd existed throughout
the country, Tho opponents of these insti
tutions did not deny that general prosperity
ami a happy state of tilings existed at tile
time they were in operation; hut contended
that equal prosperity would exist without .
them, while specie would take tho place of j
tbeir issues as a circulating medium.—How ,
have their words been verified 1 Both in the ,
case of the first bank and that of the hist, a ,
general suspension of specie payments has
happened in about a year (rom the time tiiey
were sullered to expire, and a universal con
fusion and distrust prevailed. The first bank
expired in 1811, and all tho .State Banks
south of Now England stopped payment in
1612; the Charter of the late Bank expired
in March, Iriffti. and in May, 1807, a like dis
trust ami a like suspension by the State
Banks takes place.
, The same results, wo may readily suppose,
are attributable to the same causes, and we
must look lo the experience and wisdom of
i the people, and of Congress lo apply the re
quisite remedy.

The news of the money market is rather favora
ble.
Money Market and City Intellioence,
Wednesday Evening May s.—Throughout the
day there was a good deal of anxiety regarding
bouses in the Bust and West India trade, and
there were rumutltS of further applications hav
ibg been made to tho Bank of England ; but the
day passed over without any distinct allusion to
any paiticulur firms.—Tilt) continued arrivals of
goods, of which there ate already considerable
supplies in the market, ill tho warehouses, or
known to bo on their way to this country, togeth
er with the fact of the prices of many of them
having fallen full one-third within the last few
disastrous months, with no very flattering pros
pect of any great and immediate improvement,
are not calculated to increase confidence in the
present state of things, or in tho ability of large
houses to nlcet obligations that must soon become
dub.
There were during the day many sales of Ex
chequer Bills and India Bonds, which reduced
tlie price of them considerably, as the bringing
of them in(6 tlie market was uttiibuled to the ne
cessity of meeting some temporary emergencies;
though tho increasing dennind for tho American
bills was probably the principal cause. It ap.
pears that the bankers are in many cases adopt
ing them for investments.
In tho English stock-market there was not
much done during the day. Consols advanced
in tho early part of the dby to 90J; but in the af
ternoon drodped a little, And finally closed at 'JO j
to I for money and the account. In consequence
of the corillnucil sa.e of Exchequer-bills, to which
reference has already been made, the premium
again declined, and was at one time as low as
335., hut improved towards the close of business
and tell off at 345. to 36a. premium.
There were syniptoma to day of a relapse into
the commercial distrust, which was disposed to
have been removed by tlie introduction of the
American bills, Which prove, howfcver, at present
by no means a sufficient relief, and the Bank Os
England is again called upon to interfere. Some
attribute it to the limited amount in which thbse
securities have yet been sent, finder the unber
tuinty of the reception they Were likely to ifieot
with; hut thb real source of the evil, it j 8 now
obvious, lies much dtepor. Nothing will place
matters' on their former sound footing hut such a
rise in prices as will allow of a fresh importation
of produce as a medium of payment. Unfortu
nately, a struggle ot the same kind has now
commenced in ofif trade with tho East Indies and
China, from whence immense consignments arc
on their way hjtller, fin whicha loss of probably
25 per cent must hb sustained; looking at the
stale of the home market. Willi the additional
claims on tho Bank for support which arise out
oflhsse new sources of commercial difficulty, the
directors are evidently placed in a very embarrass
ing position, and may even find the power fail
them, whatever their disposition may be to assist.
With respect to tho new American securities, the
demand does not appear, from tile best informa
tion that can bo obtained, at all diminish. Now
that the bills which were without endorsement,
and which were greatly preferred at tho Stock-
Exchange, have gone off, tho endoised bills,
which were objected to at first, arc beginning to
pass current there, and the price is a remarkably
steady ono, scarcely varying at all from the quo.
tation of 94J to 95. Whoever ‘>'o amount of
business in them may in reality he, they would
never been so firm as they arc at )ht» finie. It has
been stated that the hankers in some inaviv"*
have refused to make advances upon them, hut
this was probably because the parties possessed
no regular claim for such assistance. Ifthis were
the case, it would lie no argument with parties
’ utYing spare money at command against employ,
j >iu that maimer, and it is chiefly in the hands
of those ;vho are " ot , accust omed to ask for help
at all that ttu' ,c grilles must come. They pre
fer them to Exche4’ ucr l ’ llls or r "d'a Bonds, both
for the higher rate of in fercst i.hey yield, and be
cause they are secure for a given time against
any reduction in tho rate of interest paid.
The English stock-market was in some little
hustle in the early part of tho day, Consols im

LATER FROM EUROPE.
The Sampson from London, is below, and has
accounts lo tlie 6th of May, less encouraging
than those received yesterday.
The gloom of the money market on the sth
Was very great and one of the American houses
had applied to the Bank of England fur addition
al assistance.
The accounts from Paris are to the 4th, tho
quotation of funds are annexed.

Five per cts. 107 30: three per fcts. 79 5; Ban|p
actions 2400 fr.
We are indebted to Grinnell, Minturn & Co.,
for the Times of sth May—■'whence the follow
ing account is taken.
It has been stated with great confidence to-day,
that one of the oldest firms in the American trafio
made a second application to the Bank direction
for assistance, and that it was followed by simi
lar applications from other firms, which, though
respectable, were not exactly of the same stan
ding.
It is understood that assistance has been given
lo the firm alluded, for the temporary period ofa
month, upon the representation that they expec
ted to receive remittances from New York which
would enable thorn to meet those advances.
Business in the funds has not been carried on
to-day to any great extent, and the chief feature
of the consol market has Keen that whilst money
stuck has been scarce, there has been Some
speculation for a fall on the account.
Wc know that the Bank Directors to-day
have Keen acting with (ho utmost caution; hut
wc trust that when they can see their rtay, they
will afford their ass.sislance to houses engaged
in the India and China trade, on a scale equity
proportionable lo that which they have concedj
cd to tho American trade*
’The monetary interests have however, advan
ced money on paper that could bo relied on at tho
rate of 4 1-2 per cent.
Consols for money have been done at 90 3-4 ;
the last quotation is 90 1-2; for time, 90 5-8 is the
market price. 'l’he 'Three and a Half per CAnt.
Annunities are 07 1-8 a 1-4, arid the New Three
and a Half per Cents. 98 5-8 a 3-4. Bank Slock
is 204 1-4, and India 258, money.
The premium of Exchequer Bills has rather
improved—the last price 30. India Bonds are the
same, the quotations for the Bonds of the U. S.
Bank arc 94 1 3 a 95, and Morris Canal Bank
ing Co. 98 1-9.

PRESENTMENTS
Os the Grand Juhy of Richmond County
you the fihst week of the Joke Term,
1837.
We the Grand Jury sworn for tho County of
Richmond, beg leave to present tho following
matters, in the discharge of our duties—
We have examined the Books of the Clerks
of the Superior, Inferior and Court of Ordinary;
and find then! correctly and neatly kept, the
Books, papers, and offices in neat and perfect or
der.
Wo have examined the Jail of the County, and
find it in good order. The prisoners in a heal
thy and cleanly condition, and satisfied with the
keeper’s treatment.
Wc present as a great grievance, the badness
of the roads throughout the County, and call up
on the public officers charged with the execution
of the laws, to see them rigidly enforced against
all delinquents.
, Wo concur with the Grand Jury of Baldwin
1 county, in their presentments a ; tlie May Term,
. ” 37, and recommend the same to tho BptC! a l ai-,
tention o', ° ur ® e,mtor and Representatives:
“Whereas, oCdblM exist whether a white per
son can be legally inoidled for living in adultery
with a negro, and indeed this Jury are informed
a decision has been made in one of our Superior
Courts, that such indictment cannot bo legally
maintained. Wo would, therefore, pressingly
urge ou: Senators and Representatives in our
next Legislature, to use all their influence to have
such a law passed as will embrace this daring im
morality fully, by pointing out what shall ho suf
ficient evidence in such cases to insure convic
tion and also affixing the punishment.”
“We would recommend to our Senators and
Representatives in the next Legislature, to take
such measures as shall bo most effectual in sup
pressing the injurious practice of slaves and all
persons of color, corresponding generally through
tho Post Office,”
Having viewed with regret the large increase
of gaining in our city, and the countenance
which persons so engaged receive from our citi
zens. W e feel it our duty lo present this crime
as one of an alarming character, and of the ut
most importance lo the rising generation. We
believe our laws are fully sufficient to check this
evil if our citizens with the public officers of the
city and county would do their duty; and wc do
therefore, most respectfully recommend this evil
to the notice of all good citizens to use every en
deavour to suppress it.
It is evident that this detested practice is ra
pidly on the increase, and we know not how to
check it, unless we do so by the popular mode of
societies. We therefore recommend to the citi
zens of Richmond county, the formation of an
.. Inti-Gambling Society, for the purpose of
searching out, detecting, and bringing lo justice, i
those peat* of society, known as professed Uamb
ers Wc also recommend that in the plrciion
,f county officers, particular care be tqkcn «t
dace in office aucU persons as arc known to hi •
loatile to llio whole race of Black-leg*- ,
