would do every thing under the most solemn sanction law To circulate or to aid in the of theses iii llaminatory publications is an offence against the laws of some of the States which is punishable with deathV here such provisions are not now made we would advise that they should fbe' immediately enacted(and to guard againsf all misconstruction it should be provided that all postmasters who deliver that all per sons who receive and all persons who print or oth 1 erwise £id in the printing pr distribution of such in cendiary publications should upon conviction there of suffer death Whether Such printing be done with in the State or not in sucl case the distribution of such publications in the State makes the printer and publisher as much a party to the offence and would subject them as much to the operation of the law al though they may not havejbeen within the limits of the State as they would be in the case we put of Tappan hiring an assassin to go to Georgia to murder the Governor In this last'case the 4 the hir ing is the consequence of the murder which being perpetrated in theState of Georgia brings all the par ties under the penalties of the laws of Georgia so as the circulation is the offence against the laws When that is'done in the limits of the State the is made to refer back to the original printing and distri bution? which being part of the same 'offence
