whenever this pretension has been advan

has been resisted and defeated by tho De

they still do, that secession is revolution.

preservation of this glorious government,
firmed by tho noblest band of paliiotg
that tho world has ever produced, unless

From tlio Lancaster Intelligencer,
Freedom of Speech, &c
Notwithstanding the fact that tho Con
stitution of the United States ii regarded
as an obolote iden by somo of the whlpper
snappers of the Republican party, as well
ns their Abolition leaders in this vicinity,
it is well occasionally to refer to the prin
ciples and landmarks established by that
nneient document for tho observance of
the people and their government. Among
Ihe perogn lives explicitly guaranteed (and
which are held tarred even in monarchial
England) are the freedom of epeeeh nnd

time in sixty yean, is now sought to be,

"That is the way," says the Cincinnati
Kit'uircr, "an upright and intelligent
Judgo will talk to a Grand Jury on this
subject, and rebuke those who ro so ig
norant or regardless of tho Constitutional
right of the people, as to make such a pre
sent men t us was done ii: New York,
which might do in Austria or France, but
cannot be tolen ted in a free government.
Vo have no doubt the New York Grand
Jury, which recently presented several
New York Journals for aiding treason,
were selected with special reference to
this action, and that care was taken that
they should all be ofa political stripe, and,
in addition, should be men of small cali
bre, of violent prejudices und unscrupu
lous character. Tho performance is of no
importance save to t-how tho animus ol
those who got it up, and now sustain or
apologize lor it. It was hoped by them
that it nould lend to a sensation again t
the papers struck at; but they are likely
to find that it will have precisely the op
site eflect, and they have loaded their gun
so heavily that it will rather injure those
who stand behind it. Thero is scurcely a
Republican paper in the land than did
not, during the Mexican War, occupy pre
cisely the eamo position that tho New
York journals alluded to do now. A large
majority of tho Republican leaders, inclu
ding President Lincoln himself, were op
posed to that war, nnd went farther ag
ainst it than anybody has in tho present
instance. Shall they nlso be indicted and
subject to a condign punishment for a
past ollencc ?"

Sentiment lately sprung up, and now
growing popular, render it necessary to
be explicit on this point. It is tho an-
