Excerpt from The Following Numbers of the Citizen, Now Republished From the Lancaster Journal, Are Respectfully Inscribed to the Citizens of Pennsylvania by the Author: Lancaster, December 10, 1810

The debates of our legislature on Olmstead's case, as it is called, together with the necessary documents, are now before the public, our citizens therefore have it in their power, to form a correct opinion of the conduct of our executive on that important subject. From those debates and documents, it must be evident to the mind of every person, not completely blinded by prejudice, that we are indebted to the good sense and moderation of our citizens alone, for not being drawn into a civil war by either the ignorance or wickedness of our state executive. In either case, it is time for our citizens to withdraw all confidence and support from the man, or men, who had planned and executed, so far as they were able, an offensive system of war against the United States.

The friends of Mr. Snyder rest his defence on the following words, in an act of our state legislature, passed the 2d of April, 1803 viz. The governor is directed 'to protect the persons and properties of the said Eli zabeth Sergeant and Esther Waters, from any process Whatever issued out of the federal court.

Now let us consider the true import and meaning of those words, keeping in view at the same time, that the act in which they are recorded, is an act of a legislature bound by the solemn obligation of an oath to support the constitution and government of the United States.
