One who is familiar with the oppression;! which '; j receded and caused the passage of the act of 31 ; t.'h. 2, and also with the legislation which in En inland is popularly termed the suspension of the ' i.et, since its passage up to the formation of the Federal Constitution, and the occasions which pro duced those suspensions, can be at no loss to con jecture jrhy the framers of that instrument limited i he power of suspension by Congress to the times of rebellion or invvasion, and ' why the suspension ' cannot be supposed to embrace any other than ' criminal or Supposed criminal matters." .A brief reference to the disturbed times in England between the period of passing the act (1679) and 1737, and to the mode-suspending it, will- "explain it alL in 108S James II tiud the kingdom without any purpose of 'abandoning the throne ; and, though abroad, continued, he and his male issue, so long . as any of them survived, to claim - the crown, not . withstanding immediately after his departure it was settled on another branch of the family. Tho claims of the excluded family continued. until'- . During this period of rivalry for the throne, En- ' gland was subject to rebellions within, aided often by'concurrcnt invasions from without, incited by Jamefc and his descendants. At several times the preparation for overthrowing the dynasty were formidable and alarming. On .such occasions the parliament passed laws which abrogated teinporari , ly certain rights of iho subject secured to hiui main ly under the huleat corpus act of Charles. The first was enacted in tiiu first year of W. and M , and daring tbeir reigu and that of William HI. ' a period of tweive years tire acts of. this kind were passed.; Tneir titles were to empower the King either u "apprebend and detain," or "to commit without bail, such persons as lie shall find just cause to supped are conspiring against the gov ernment." From thence to the close of this strug gle for the threuo there were passed five more acts ; .one in each of the jxars 1714 1715 1722 1744 17A0. . The titles of all are iu the same words," aitd of each it ia "an act to empower his Majesty to secure and detain such persons at his tnajesiy -shall suspect are conspiring against hit person and gocernmtrit." The next in point' of time was that of 1777, noticed in Hard, 132, which denied the privileges of the habeas corpus act of Obaries uiily' "to i triors taken in the act of high treason committed in any of the. colonies or ou tue bigh sea, oi jn the act of piracy, or who were charg ed with or suspected. ol any of those crimes." There are ho others to he found on the British Stat utes till after the adoption of tbo Federal Consti tution. Those pasted in 1704 and thence till the -close of the revolutionary struggle in France, sev eral iu number,' bear the same titles as those. of and after 1714 ; two of thciu ofexiieuie dates, lGSi) and 1794 are sot forth as perfect samples of them alL A consideration of the provisions- of these acts will establish the 6econd proposition, that the pow er to suspend " the privilege of the writ" carries uiih it no power other than simply to deny the ben efit of the writand subject the party to imprison tnent as its only attendant consequence. Each of these acts; was popularly termed "sus pension of the habeas corpus act," (Campbell's life of Lord Mansfield, and parliamentary debates of 1794. This was their popular name, because they denied to the accused persons arrested upon a charge of ; . the crimes mentioned, the privilege secured' by the act of Charles... But tlie denial of 'this privilege did not constitute ail ihat was prodded by these acts. ' First, they enacted that all -persons who on a certain. day, (usually the day of giving the royal assent to the act) should be imprisoned within the Kingdom, aiid all. who, alter that day, shoutd be imprisoned, for high treason, suspicion of treason or treasonable practices, by warrant signed by six ' of the privy council or by any of the principal sec-. retaries ol state, may be detained in custody with out bail or main prize until a certain day, (the day when the act was to expire.) J his was asuspen- non vf the privilege of the writ. Secondly, it was enacted that no judge or justice of the peace should try such person so committed without an order signed by six of the privy eoun ' cil, .until the day when the act expired any law to tho contrary notwithstanding. This was a do fiial of trial. ' Thirdly, it was provided that after the day when the apt should expire, all persons so imprisoned should have the benefit and advantage of the habe as eorvus act of 81 Charles 2. ' And, lastly, it was provided that the act should not extend to the imprisoning or detaining of any member of either House of Parliament until the matter of which he inigbt'be suspected should be first communicated to the House of which be was a member, and the consent of the said Hauae ob tained ior committment or detaining.

Thus it is seen that the first provision was to de ny the prisoner bail this, deprived him of the priv- iiege of the writ of habeas corpus. . If tha act had stopped here just wher"e our. constitution stop- the prisoner bad been ien the benent ot tne v to sec tion of the act of Charles (flth of our K G. Ch 55,) which allowed him to demand a trial ; and ff tipba prayer made,, on the first week of the term after his committent, to be brought to trial, ha were not indicted some time in the next term after his oft- mittent, then on motion on the last day of that term he was entitled to be discharged on bail, unless the witnesses for the King could not be. f6urd ; and if be were not indicted and tried the second term, men he was entiled to be unconditionally discharged -j The British -Act, therefore, alter abrogating im right to the privilege of the writ, proceeded to an nul the 7th section of the act of Charles, which se cured a speedy trial (Bac. Abr. Hab. Corp. B4, note on page 430. It is apparent, then, that ip England the simnle susoensioo of the privilege of the writ was wholly disconnected wun ine-rigni oi -a r- .. . . ... .. .. . trial. There are some privileges secured by me act of Charles which are distinct from those pertaining to tho writ of habeas corpus at common law ; these are secured by legislation. If the entire act, as Jo a class of criminals, were repealed temporarily, au these privileges would of course cease to exist, and the common law privileges incident to the writ would alone be in force. But such repeal would not affect the speedy trial secured by the 47th sec tion of 'Magna Charts. "We will sell to no man, we will deny no man. or defer right or justice." which Lord Coke says is ever being repeated by the King in all his courts, bo the suspension ol the com tnon law-writ cannot, of itsell, affect this provision of Mazna Charta. It requires the authority ol Far liament to do it and. if omitted by Parliament, the judges must, in the language of Sir 'Edward Coke and pir W Hliam Blackstone, the great commentators ot Uiguai law, proc.el witn the trial "speeui Iv and without delav." (2 Inat 551 BU Com. 141. It is manifest that the privileges of the habeas corpus act of Charles, as, to persons arrested for cume or supposed crime, embrace au ine privileges of the writ at common law, and secure aud define others' besides. The 7th section of the act does not annul the 47th section of Magna Charta, but con firms it : and defines to some extent, as to unbail able crinies, what speed of trial a prisoner is eutitled to. It would not answer the purPse of suspension in England to repeal or suspend for a time the en tire act of Charles, for that would l&ve in full force and vigor the common law - writ as to bailable' of fences; and the provision in-Magna Charta, .or speedy trial, jbs to those unbailable. Therefore, the act of susDension strikes at the writ. Thether exis tine at common law or reeulated bv statute, and moieover suspends the 7th section of the statute, and the 47th of Maena Charta." both of .which are done by an express denial of trial The popular name given to the legislation in England, " suspen sion of the act of habeas eorput, expresses not naif its effects. if the constitutional power to suspend the privi .lege of the writ was intended to confer on Congress ' the entire authority possessed and exorcised by the Parliament before Ine adoption of the Constitution of 1788. the statutes passed on those occasions, must be the expositors of the nature and extent of the grant. These guides would, on the one hand, first confine the suspension to crime only secondly, to ' the" crimes of treason, suspicion of treason and trea sonable practices and, thirdly, would require the : process tor arrest to be a special warrant signed ny - the President or Secretary ot State, naming tue per- son and the offense ; and, on the other hand, would f invest Congress with the power to deny a trial for J s9 long a time as tho act might last, unless the :- President sooner consent to it. .11 these statutes of England, however, be not the " true expositors of the nature and extent of the ': power granted by the Constitution, then we must lock to the euiues attorded us elsewhere. . X be only legislative guide among ourselves is found in the bill, which passed the Senate of the United' Slates in 1807.1-That, however, requiring both an oath and a special warrent to precede the arrest, simply denied to the prisoner " the privilege of the writ 1 of. habeas corpus," leaving undefined what that privilege was. There is in it, however, no prohibi- tion against a speedy trial, as in the British acts ; I yet the privilege is declared to be suspended for ' three months, thus showing in the clearest manner the opinion of the President, Jefferson, and a very able Senate that the privilege of the writ might be suspended in the very language of the constitution, . without dispensing with oath or warrant, or pro , hibHing a Speedy .trial There were in the bill no ' details; the prisoner was to be deprived of the privilege of the .writ, which the bill substantially., affirms he may be, and yet' not lose the benefit of a single guard of tho constitution, but have the full protection of alL If this bill . was an exercise of the gl inted power (and it must be taken to have been so intended by its supporters by their using the very language of the constitution) it tends to define the privilege of the writ, and rejects all that latitude of construction which "would bring the cliuse into conflict with other constitutional pro visions guaranteeing personal rights. If that bill was a full exercise of the power granted (and it can be no less, for the enactment is in the very Ianguige of the constitution) the power can invoke no other power to render the suspension of the writ more terrible nor, above all, can it prostrate, for that purpose, a distinct guard of personal freedom. It 23 apparent that the late act is neither English nor American in its' character, but altogether sui gen eris. It assumes, against the entire history of legis lative precedents on both sides of the water, to suspend the privilege of the writ for other than criminal purposes ; and it dares, against the practice cf both, to arrest on general warrants. - - " In England the practice in cases of suspension has been invariably to require a special warrant Rex. v. Dcspard, 7, T. R. 732, 4BL Com. 291, n. k. The British acts secure the privileges of the mem bers of Parliament, against the force of an act which did not except the members. This makes no exception of any one- In England a member arrest ed by order of the council would be entitled to have his release at once through the writ ; unless the house should surrender him. But, under this act, the Pres ident or secretary ot btate may annihilate the entire Congress, or allow it, or so much of it as he ma,f please, to exist. nucn a clause of exception is necessary in England to secure the ancient privileges of Par liament, because of the Omnipotence of that body. There is no doubt that the reason why, in' the bill ot 18U7, no sucn- clause ot exception was inserted. is that the Congress deemed the members to be protected by the constitution from arrest for other causes than are therein set forth. The power to suspend the privilege of the writ the provision that no person should be deprived of his liberty without due. process of law, which is declared to .be a warrant issued on probable cause. supported by oath and particularly describing the person to oe arrested ; and tne guaranty ot a speedy iriai, are an uisunci constitutional provisions, and occupy each one the same prominence and the same independence of each other, in the constitution. Neither of them is a proviso or a qualification to any other each has the same constitutional status. Any one of them can exist without the other-, and I li . .i j i T. ,i . ... uu van exist togetner .ana in narmony. u tne Din of 1807 had become a law the vigor of none of these provisions would have suffered the slightest impair ment But if any two or more of them shall be found in conflict, who is selected to choose that wnicn is to be preserved, and that , which la to be destroyed? An eminent Confederate Judge. Halliburton, in the case of Morris, vs. -Peyton, r ' , recently decided by him, seems to regard the existence of all powers ana pronioition ot power contained in tne Constitution annihilated for the time, if they may interfere in any degree with any mode which may oe proviaca oy uongress lor suspending tne writ ; notwithstanding the mode recently adopted has no preceaent nor similitude in tact or principle, in any age of our ancestors or ourselves.

Not a guarantee of personal liberty will be left superior to the will of Congress.'

It would allow both the power and prohibition to live and have each its separate, distinct and dtia ed existence. There are to be found in the Consti tution many powers -and correlative prohibitions, which may be rashly pushed into SSbflict with each other ; but, interpreted in a spirit of moderation-and wisdom, Ibey will be found to be, as a whole, a well organised matter of various elements, constrained, balanced, refined, and strengthened by the composi tion, and not a chaos of jarring discord. A few il lustrations will clear the Constitution from the Jal lacy of the opinion that the act of suspension over rides any part of the Confederate Constitution. It annuls, it is admitted, the judiciary act to some ex tent, as to the writ; ut it leaves the Constitution untouched. Thus by art 1, see. 1, it is provided, "That all legislative powers delegated to Congress shall be vested in a Congress of the Confederate States." This grant, f f course, invests Congress with all the faculty of legislation, within the scope of the mat ters submited to it, which- belonged to any snob body of legislators ; and therefore allowed it to as sociate together in any form it might please many different subjects, expressed or unexpressed by the title of the act; yet afterwards by sec. 9, chap. 20, it is declared, that every law "having the force of law shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed in tjie title." It is' certain that the isolated power of passing acts of legislation, gener al it is, is constrained and limited, yet both the power and prohibition are consistent, and must be construed together. The power cannot destroy or' impair its limitation. . '"" Again, by art l,?ec. 8, it is provided that 'Con gress shall " have power to lay and collect taxes, du ties, imposts and excises." This confers an unlimited power to lay taxes or'duties on exports. Elsewhere, however, sea 9, chap. 6, it is provided that po tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported," Ac, ex cept by a vote of two thirds of both Houses.- Here again it is certain that the isolated power and its limitation are consistent, and the power must remain straightened by the limitation. Again, Congress is invested with the " power to raise and support armies." Suppose that in anoth er and distinct clause it had been provided, that no person under twenty-one or over forty-five years of age should be compelled to serve in 'Che Confeder ate army. 'And Congress is fully invested with the power " to borrow money on the. credit of the Con federate. States." - Under this power it might bor row upon a credit of ten years; yet, suppose tha? elsewhere in the Constitution it bad been declared that money should not be borrowed upon a longer term of credit -than five years. It is certain that boih the war power of levying soldiers, and the borrowing power to .pay them, had been more effi cient if unrestrained than when hampered with those limitations. But who, in the national need for soldiers or money, would think of denying, that both powers were curtailed by the prohibitions f It would be truly said that both the grants and re striction might and did well exist together, and must continue to do so. In conclusion, I maintain that to deny, the writ altogether; or to issue it, and under the plea of sos pension to refuse to hear and determine the case of any citizen legally exempt from military service, can be excused only upon the ground, that any mode of suspending the privilege of the writ is constitutional i . and overrides the entire Constitution ; and places the civil rights of the whole population of every age and sex, at the feet ol the President "and his army. Ana, in tne case oi an oincer ot the State, claimed by its sovereign bower as necessary to the due ad ministration of its affiirs, can be excised only upon the ground that Congress has the conetitnt'onal power, by the act of suspension, to destroy the sepi arate organization of the States ; -to consolidate the whole people ; and to destroy every vestige of Mate sovereignty. Such is the legitimate, unavoidable consequence of the conduct of those judges, who quietly sit and refuse to give relief in such cases. in tbe recent case or jturrougbs vs. feyton, in the Court of Appeals, of Virginia, to the argument con testing the constitutionality nf the conscript law, on the ground that it might be used to destroy the Oi.i. . I :? nh , ,1. oiaiu government oy sweeping its omcers into me army, that court said, "Congress have no Such power over btate officers. The State governments are an essential part of our political system: for upon the separate and independent sovereignty of the States, the foundation of the Confederacy rests. All powers not delegated to tbe Confederate States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people thereof: and the Confederate States guar antee to each a Republican form of government "It i absurd to suppose that the government of the Confederate S ates can rightfully destroy the governments of the States which created it And the powers conferred on iX must be understood to have been given with the limitation that in cXecn ting thera, nothing shall be done to interfere with the independent exercise of its sovereign- powers by each State. Congress can have no right, therefore, to deprive a State of the services of any. officer ne cessary to the action of its government : And the State itself is .the sole judge as to the officers that are necessary for that pnrpose." ' Thus spoke the judges to quiet the fears and jealousies of the States. But of what use is a doc trine so sound and so necessary for securing the rights of the States against an unconstitutional con scription, yea, of State officers even if the same President who procures tbe law of conscription, which of itself cannot effect such a purpose, what ever be its, words, can at the same time procure also -a suspension of die writ of habeas corpus t where by the judges shall hold that their jurisdiction is so paralyzed as to forbid them to protect against mil itary invasion the very constitutional sovereignty itself of the States ? Can it be true that the power -to pass a conscription law is given "with the limita tion that in executing it nothing shall be done to interfere with the independent exercise of its sove reign powers, by each State," and that the power to suspend tha privilege ef the writof habeas corpus is free of the same limitation Arid moreover, may be used to the abuse -and perversion ol all other .powers lying under that limitation ?

New Mbthod of Tullags. Spade lusbandry has been always talked about, as the perfection of Ul lage ; but it has been rather talked about than prac ticed, since the idea of working any considerable area of ground by spading, was, of- course, out of the question in a country where land is cheap and labor dear. For a garden patch it was very well, and quite practicable ; but for field culture, altogeth er out of the question, - There have been various attempts to introduce machinery for digging or spading by horse or other nower. but penerallr with .indtffarent" anncaia. A -recent invention bv 0. Comstock. of Milwaukee. . ', Wis., promises, according to accounts, to have bet-. . ter results. It is named " Comstock's. Spader," is ; worked by four horsed, takes a width of three feet, and performs. three times as much as a "plow ; pul verises the ground completely, and haves it in a -perfect condition for planting, .. The Prairie Farmer gives an account of the ope ration of this machine, on the farm of Mr. Sullivan, Where twenty thousand acres of land are under cul tivation. -Two hundred acres of, land have been worked with the spader, and accurate accounts have been kept to show the cdmpartive 08t of the' old and new system. ' According to these figures' a sa ving in expense of fully one half is made by its use, leaving altogether out-of the account that the soil is worked more thoroughly and capable of produ cing a better ctoq. The figures given in the statement before us, as the expense of preparing an acre of land for corn, are so marvellously small as almost to stagger be lief among Cistern men. We must, of course, take into account the nature of the soil, the large size of the fields, and the complete system on farms of the magnitude of Mr. Suflivan's which is capable of be ing introdnced. The idea of-fitting land for' corn with the plow and harrow at a cost of one dollar and forty .cents per aere, and of. working tnne with the cultivator at a further cost; of fifty cents per acrei thus ," laying by" a crop at a total expense of. one dollar and ninety cents per acre, is quite inex-' plicable to Eastern corngrowers. These, however, are given as the actual cost on Mr. Sullivan's farm of twenty, tbqusand acres under the old system. The spader, however, is to work a revolution, since the ground iB prepared at a-cost of thirty-four aud a half cents, and the after cultivation fifty cents, making a total for "laying by" of eighty;four and a half cents per acrerOr a saving over the old plan of one dollar and five and a half cents per acre, New Tori World: A Eicd Scenb.-'-Io the Canadian House of As sembly, last week, they had quite a spirited debate on tbe bill to prohibit the use of hoops and crino line, introduced by Atkins.
