To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


I have thus hastily referred to these collateral matters, because they shew the nature of the obstructions and the daring sympa- thies interposed against the course of pubHc justice, Ijy the ma- chinations of a crew^ of miserable fanatics, countenanced and as- sisted by public officers, who seem to have had no decent respect for themselves or tor a Court of Justice.
In spite of all these things and many others that I could enumer- ate, I believe that we succeeded in getting aJuryempannelled, a
...ma- jority of whom were unexceptionable and unbiassed, but that was the result of great tact and management on the part of those, counsel for the United States, who, by arrangement took charge of that portion of the proceedings ; and, I feel bound to ac- knowledge in this particular, the eminent services of Mr. Lud- low, Mr. George Ashmead and Col. Robt. M. Lee, of Philadel- phia, who took every possible precaution to obtain a good and impartial Jury. ' Before proceeding to announce to your Excellency the result of these prosecutions, and the grounds on which they were dismiss- 6 ed, I must here take occasion to say, that so far as my obserA^a- tion went, a large majority of the citizens of Philadelphia desir- ed to see the laws faithfully and fairly executed, and that the par- ties, if guilty, should suffer the highest penalty of the laws ; but unfortunately the faction before alluded to, is so active, so artful and so unscrupulous, and possessing M'ithal, as I am informed, such large means — so fatally bent on rescuing every one of the accused parties from the grasp of the law, that I had but little hope, from the beginning, of a favorable result, if it was in their power by any means to tu'^n aside the Sword of Justice.
