REPLY OF NEW YORK JURY. 395
friendly to liberty—to that liberty which is really
inestimable; on the contrary, nothing but a strong
government of laws irresistibly bearing down arbitrary power and licentiousness can defend it against
those two formidable enemies. Let it be remembered that civil liberty consists not in a right to every
man to do just what he pleases, but it consists in an
equal right to ,all the citizens to have, enjoy, and to
do, in peace, security, and without molestation, whatever the equal and constitutional laws of the country
admit to be consistent with the public good. It is
the duty and the interest, therefore, of all good citizens, in their several stations, to support the laws and
the government which thus protect their rights and
liberties.
I am persuaded, gentlemen, that you will cheerfully
and faithfully perform the task now assigned you, and
I forbear, by additional remarks, to detain you longer
from it.

May it please your Honors :
The very Excellent Charge given to the Grand Jury of
this District by his Honor the Chief Judge of the Federal
Court, demands our thanks and particular attention ; and
that it may be more influential and impress the mind of our
fellow citizens at large beg leave to ask a Copy of it for the
press. Your Honors may be assured we shall in our several
departments when dismissed exert our influence to promote
peace, good order, and a strict regard to the laws of the
United States agreeably to the Constitution so lately
