Messrs. EDITons-It is with no little surprise
hear of the arbitrary act of the authorities Of the
Borough of Wilmington, in hnng person or per-
sons Tor exhibiting Tor money, large man called a
| Giant"


This high handed measure cannot be too much
reprobated it is carrying matters farther than mo
raty would require, or justice sanction. am as
much as any person in favor Of a vigilant police.
am as much opposed to exhibitions that have a
demoralizing tendency, as the Butgesses and Coun
Gil can be but that should not be at liberty
to exhibit himself or his requirements consistent
with morality, for money, if people choose TO pay,
is strange law indeed such as the people cannot
but notice with regret at least. According to this
new doctrine man cannot exhibit his requirements
or the edlicaon amusement of The citizens,
by lectures or otherwise, for money, without sub
jecting himself to fine.


1t will be necessary for E. Lewis, before progress
sing farther with his interesting "Philosophical
Lectures" to make his peace with these persons, it
he has not done it already. But enough! will
only observe that if the Police would direct their
attention to tppling shops and houses of III fame
those fruitful beds o.! vice and immortality, instead
of harmless Giants, the measure would be more to
their credit and the interest of society.
