Much excitement hmvimj bem produced during tlie last session o4 the (Jencrai Assembly of tlie state of Inuiana relative to the law on iNe subject of Dueling, enacted by the Territorial Legislature at their I won of 1813-14. rcjiiiriti all persons previous to entering on the duties of any office of honour, tiust, or profit, to take an oath that tney had not. either directly or indirectly, been concerned in anv duel, bv being the bearer ot any chalenge or otherwise, it er within or without tUe Territory sure the fii bt day of February 1 8 1 4 nor that they would not be concerned as afores.ud, during their continuance in office, which oath attorneys and countellors at lat7 were required to take by a subsequent clause in the acts of lHlt pJt ious to their admission as practitioners at the bar of any of the courts of the state of Indiana. I have thought proper to submit n few remarks to the public on that sub j ct ; it may not, however, be improper for me first to observe, t!at 1 am entirely hostile to the practice of Duelling (nor do 1 bctu re that amongst the i iimerottf cases Which have occurred on earth, there can be found one amongst one iimidred, where the principle can be sanctioned, even by the slightest shades f justice or necessity. But were we to admit that there may be cases w ich miht justify this mode of procedure between man and his fellow m i,. w are nevertheless bosjnd to acknowh 'e that most, if not all, of the cnses e . bavsj come within our knowledge have been produced by notions of nUse :. ur, which lias been admirably described by the words of t -e p.-t Delusive honour, falsely cailc.i, Thou' fair destructive chca.
