Amelia Norman and the F. NJ. X. S.


To the Editor Of The Tribune;


Observing in your paper of Saturday short
paragraph in relation to the case of Amelia Nor
man, conveying, what has been deemed an indi-
rect censure CT the Moral Reform Society, the
impression that ''none'' cf them were in the
court room during the late triai-we beg leave to
state that, although they felt that the credit
awarded them by the Press in the early part of
the week was not their DUE (they knew not
whence it came,) yet they have been i'll no wise
unconcerned spectators of this painfully interest
ing case They have watched it with deep soil
citude from It's commencement to ITS close, and
those of them who doubtless unknown to your
informant were in the Courtroom on Friday,
land had also visited the prisoner in her cell,)
would be happy, if through your columns, they
might tender public expression of thanks, IN
behalf of their associates to Messrs. Graham
and Morrell, not only for the humanity and bene-
Violence displayed in relation to the accused, but
for their noble and soul-moving vindicatlon of
the great principles Of truth and righteousness.


We hail with Joy the change in public sentl-
ment, so manifest on this occasion, and rejoice
in the God Of purity, that lie has called out, IN
connection with this case, ''honorable women,'
strangers to the Moral Reform Society, most
worthy the privilege Of performing the humane
Offices they have so generously assumed


1t should he borne in mind, that there are thou
sands in this community, us wronged and wretch
ed, and, perhaps, not more guilty, than was Ame-
liza Norman previous to the day of her arrest and
mprisonmeut-and thousands more preparing to
fill their places, if not preoensed by timely efforts
and any amount of work in the cause, to be
done by those ready to do twill you permit
us, Mr.. Editor, to inquire through your widely
circulated Journal, if those whose sympathics
have been so deeply enlisted in the recent trial,
will not have the goodness before their interest
abates. to call at the Advocate Office, SO Park
Row, and sign the petition, soon to be sent to
the Legislature asking for law to protect rT-
tue and punish prerent vice.
