Align ft 19. egTMiLiux.ijw—— mt nif nr in— i win in iiimiim a B Anti-Dueling Aiibciation. (Concluded from our la Q.) I / The religion of the land is decisive. That religion which is received by the peo ple of the U. S. as of divine authority, and Which has interdicted not only the matured ad, but all iccitements to the commiflion of it. The laws of the land are decisive. They fpcalc death to the man who kills a* other in a duel. They fptak degradation and infa my to every one who, in any manner, affiftsin a duel. But the laws are merciful. They will not allow of any avoidable rifle of punifhitrg the innocent. And the guilty availing himfeli cf their precaution, and of the facility of cfcape, cleared by different eludes their blow, and in the very ad; of (blinking from this expression of the public will, pleads public opinion in his own vindication. The private circles is decisive. Go through theftate tromhoufe to hotife ; num ber the patrons of dueling ; and when you have found them, one in a thousand of our independenteledors, begin to speak of their opinion. Shall We, then, hear that our opinions colledivcly are in diametrical con tradidion to our opinions fcparatcly ? And that the public applauds a pradicc which every one who contributes to make up that public, a handful of the dcfparate excepted, pronounces to be fcnfelcfs and wicked ? Yet strong as the fads arc : Full, peremptory, solemn and habitual as are theexpreffions of public opinion against dueling, without one solitary expreflien in its favor, this baneful pradicc, the offspring of barbarous manners and bloody passions, is (till fathered upon public opinion! And, what is deeply alarming, gains rapidly among our citizens -—gains, inoppofition to all the expoftula - tinnsof rcafon, and all the fandions of re gion ; in oppofit.ion to the rebuke of the law ; to the testimony of the wife and good j to the protestations of common humanity ; to the tears of the widow and the sorrows cf the orphan ; to the agonies of a father’s bo som, and theyearnings cfa mother’s bow els ; to all that is afreding in this world, and all that is tremendous in the world to come! Arc we fathers ? Are we brothers ? Arc we citizens? Ate wc men? And (hall we permit a crime, the reproach of our land and the feourge of our peace, to (talk openly and impudently through our streets ? Are we to tremble every hour of our lives, left a brother or a Ton, on vvbom reds our faired hopes j cross our thrcfhold in the morning to be brought back, at noon, a vidira to that Moloch—modern honor ? And, as the fwerd passes through cur fouls, to be told, that we invited its point and bribed the affafhr, by our own complacency in his charadcr. But what (hall be done? Rcafon has spoken and flic is disregarded. Religion has fpokrn and (he is rnreked. The laws have spoken aad they are not heard. Humanity has fpe ken and (he is infuhecl. This is un happily tiue. One meafore however still remains. A me.ifujc simple dignified and probably more cffedual than any which has been tried hitherto. It is in the eledive franchifc. The freemen of this state have only to refufe their countenance and their VOTE at the eleClicns to every man who {hall hereafter be engaged either as principal or acceflary in any duel or in any attempt to promote one.—As the utmost art is used by offenders in this way to fruftratc ihc law by rendering the requisite proof itrpdfible, no thing more is ncccffary to cut them off from the Lendit of their ill gotten impunity, than to make current report, or ones private per* ftafion, by what means soever obtained, the ground of withholding one's vote, , That the influence of foch a determination, if generally adopted and aCted upon, would he very great, cannot admit or a doubt. Ihe only plaufiblc objections arc the two following : i. Thar a judgement founded upon pre sumptive prou ! , such as common rumor, or mi article in the public prims, might con demn an innreent men : and i. I hat the meafurc recommended may interfere v. uh the t r eedcm of elections. Upon the rft objection it is fifficient to remark, that fhou,d the case occur, that a candidate fer office fiioukl/wl in his eleCUcn from an unjust fufpk ion of Ins having been concerned in a dor !, it would fl ill he much better <hat an individual (hould be kept out of an cflioe so which he has no right but the peoples gift, than that an atrocious crime fliould go longer without coercion. The injury if any, would flow, not from the vote but from the fulpicinn which existed /.rtcr to ir, & therefore could he no way oc c.:doned by it. But such a case is f.> ejerrerrefy improbable at not robe of any weignt in the contcrn ;.l it ion of a grand feci ■! refirrtn. Amoog all
