" The Grand Jury of the county of Westchester, recognizing the existence of the war in which the country is now engaged, with an armed rebellion in a portion of the confedeiacy ; and the necessity for its vigorous prosecution, until an honorable peace is conquered ; and desirous of having public opinion so fixed, and individual action so shaped, in the hitherto loyal county of Westchester, in regard to the war, as to prevent breaches of the peace ; feel it a duty to call the attention of all loyal citizens and the magistracy of the county to the importance of every one within its borders contributing every honorable effort to the sustaining of the Federal arm, in maintaining the supremacy of the laws of the land and in crushing out the rebellion of the southern traitors. They therefore admonish all citizens of the fact that in a state of war, international as well as local law declares the giving of aid and comfort to the enemies of a governmeut, either by overt acts, in assisting its enemies, or by WRITINGS or PUBLICATIONS, tendiug to give such aid and comfort, the crime of misirrisioii nf treason, to be punished, on conviction, by imprisonment.

" The Grand Inquest of the county, having had brought to their attention sundry articles, which have appeared in newspapers, published within this county, denying the justice o f the n-ar in which w'e are engaged, treiiting it as a party war, and not involving in its issues the government itself and our national existence, and therein symjiathizing with the traitors to the Republic, deem it proper, in conservation of the peace of the county, that the proprietors and editors of these papers should be by them publicly admonished of the great moral, if not legal, crime, in which, from partizan motives, they have been indulging, to the danger of the peace and quiet of the people, And, lest injustice should be done to loyal newspapere, the following journals are particularly designated as disseminators of doctrines which, in the existing state of things, tend to give aid and comfort to the enemies of the government, and to prevent a vigorous prosecution of the war, by which alone the supremacy of the government is to be maintained, and national peace and prosperity witnessed in the land.
