We trust our readers will give due attention to a letter in this day's journal, on the subject of Garning-houses. This is every mani's affair-every honest man's grievance: that of the young, who have fortunes to be robbed of, and reputations to be disgraced; as of the old, who have the inheritance of character and money to leave to their yet uncorrapted and nnplundercd offspring. The evil is, that, in exact proportion to the depth of their guilt, the criminals enjoy the means of disappointing jus- t ice, and of paying for impunity. It appears from our cor- respondent's letter, that those prosecutions on which so many sanguinc hopes had beeni raisetl, of crushing,. if not (lestroying, one overgrown nest of villany, have been un- happily compromisedl, and that thc work of robbery and despcration has begun again With1 undiminishlecl vigour. -ill the Legislature leave the law as it stands? for the fault, we believe, is not at present with its ministers.
