On Saturday last the Circuit Court opened in Exeter, when Judge Cushing gave an excellent Charge to the Grand Jury; which was answered by them as follows:

SIR,

YOU will permit us unanimously to express the great satisfaction we have felt from the charge you have delivered us at the opening of the Circuit Court. Persuaded that society is necessary for man, that government is necessary for the due regulation of society; and that the government of the United States, which the people have established, is more calculated to produce their happiness, than that of any other country. Persuaded too, that the government has been administered with wisdom and virtue, and that its citizens enjoy an unexampled degree of happiness under it-We will in our situation as Grand Jurors, and private citizens, exert ourselves to maintain it against every attack. If any foes to our peace, and the endeavors of our government to preserve it, exist within this district, we shall be gratified to unite in detecting and bringing them to punishment. If any are so rooted in their discontent as to attempt to subvert government, because any important laws acts, under in the highest wisdom and regard

ness and welfare of our country are

their views or designs, no exertions of

wanting to defeat them. We might ha

prove of all mobs or riotous proceeding

ly tending to endanger our peace and our

Altu-

TY

tion, to introduce confusion and anarchy-

dare

happy that this opportunity exists to

our decided sentiments.
