Thus w see, that Mr. Jefferwon -refused - to- be cKttied .with such powur, in a legal manner; notwhstandiijg tlie accnniplioes of ihwr against whom his atit(iaihies are ujxwod to have been exces sive had evaded his jjrasp by the great writ In that time of rebellion, he would not have any man arrested on suspicion only. ; lie preferred that Um writ should stand in all its stately grandeur, aud that the enemies of the country should be ' taken and tried, rttuken and retried" that a lew guilty men should escape, ratlier than the main pil lar of the temple of liberty should be remov ed, even for a tune. It was reserved ier Abraliam Lincoln to wgtialixe his adveut to power by Uie auspen oii of this writ lor the Confederate Uon- gress to itdiyw nu omous example anu tor the PivKioV-iit, lending a pliant ear to bis croaking courtiers, to abuse tlie Ihl'Ii and holy dincretion with which, in an evil liour, he was ch'Uwd.

If the submission of tile Moruieni people to the aciif euuwerated by the President, proclaimed Uieir incapacity to administer a tree governuivut, by what logic can Mr. Davis, his advisers or confivres defend Uiu capacity of the Southern people to govern tliemselves, when Uiey not only sub mit to Uie same aggression upon the time- honored bulwarks ot civil, aud religious liber-1 ly, but likewise applaud and deietid? . I-in- ; colli and Davis are ditTercnt tueii, the Nonh- ( ern and Southern people are diverse, discord- ; ant aud belligerent but acts are tlie ine , the etuis identical. , in conclusion, oeg leave to can uw.mosi earnest attention of my countrymen to that part of the regular message of Gov. ance, tojhe General Assembly, upon th stihjectof die polidcaTprisooers coutiued at Salisbury, and the suspension f Uie writ d AuAeos ew pif.
