A 3illfor A^,t,ulUng the Constitution.—I ti-
der this kead tbe New York World has a long
article denouncing the bill to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus, which had passed the yankee Con
gress. We copy the first paragraph as follows:
“We publish iu another column the bill which
passed the Senate on Tuesday tor annulling aud
declaring void the Constitution of the I’nited
States. It is the most high-handed, bare-faced
and infamous LiFront that has yet been oflfered to
the great charter of our liberties, even by the
false and perjured partly that now control the gov
ernment. Every Senator who voted lor this de
testable bill is sworn to support the Constitution
of which it is cn open and confessed repudiation.
The bill, if it passes the House- (which it will)
and receives the sijrnature of the l^'rcsident (which
it will,) is nothing less than an act for the estab
lishment of a despotism in these once free and
happy United States, and taking from the people
the protection of the Constitution. It authorizes
and justifies arbitrary'arrests at the will of the
Executive, in detianoe of explicit provisions ol
the Constitution forbidding such arrests. It puts
every man’s liberty and property out of the pro
tection of the lunc'-iracntal law; it annihilates the
power of the Staf governments to protcct )ieir
citizens again.-l ilVgal violence; it tells the l*n'>i
dent and his in iiions that tiiey may wifii ini])uni
ty perpetrate ail these acts of despotism by which
the most odious tyrants in the worst ages have
earned the execration ol mankind. This may l>e
deemed strong language, but it is no more tl^n
adequate to characterize the infamous act of cotn-
bined perjury and despotism which wo print this
niorning, aud which challenges the attention and
must provoke the indignation ol every man who
is not ba.se enough to confess himself a cowering
slave. The j»fX*e'^diogs in connection with the
passage of this bill prove that every Senator who
voted for it committed con.scious perjury; that he
knowingly and willfully violated the solemn oath
he had taken t«'» support the Constitution of the
United States ’’
TAe Yauket Dictator.—The following sketch
of Old Abe, as he appeared at a grand entertain
ment in the White House, is by Kussell of the
London Times:—
“Soon afterward- there entered, with a sham
bling, irregular, almost unsteady gait, a tall, lank,
lean man, considerably over six feet in height,
with stooping shoulders, long pendulous arms, ter
minating in hands of extraordinary dimension.s,
which, however, were far exceeded in proportion
by his feet. He was dressed in ill-fitting wrink
led suit of black, which put one in mind of an-
undertaker’s uniform at a funeral; round his neck
a rope of black .silk was knotted in a large bulb,
with flying ends projecting beyond the colltyr of
his coat; his turned-down shirt-collar disclosed a"
sinewy, muscular yellow neck, aud above that,
nestling in a great mass of black hair, bristling
and compact like a rufiF of mourning pins, rose
the strange quaint face and head, covered with
its thatch of ’vild republican hair, of Lincoln.
The impression produced by the size of his ex
tremities, and by his flapping and‘wide-project
ing ears, may be removed by the appearance of
kindliness, sagacity, and the awkward bonhommie
of his face; the mouth is absolutely prodigious;
the lips straggling and extending almost from one
line of black beard to the other, are only kept in
order by two deep furrows from the nostril to the
chin; the nose itself—a prominent organ—stands
out from the face, with an inquiring, anxious air,
as though it were sniffling some good thing in the
wind; the eyes dark and deeply set, are penetrat
ing, but full of an expression which almost
amounts to tenderness; and above them projeat.s
the shaggy brow, running into the sm^l hard
frontal space, the development of which can
scarcely be estimated accurately, owing to the
irregular flocks of thick hair carelessly brushed
across it.”
Hunt Corn.—A circular of Gov. Milton, the
present Chief-Magistrate of Florida, addrevssed
to the planters of that State, affectionately warns
them against planting this year a full cotton crop.
He concludes with this solemn warning: “If full
crops [of provisions] shall not be made, the Con
federate States !aay possibly be subjugated, your
slaves freed and all other property you may have
(including cotton) taken from you, and yourselves
aijd families dishonored and disgraced.
