Editor Bluffton Banner, Binifton

We paid no_ attention to this tyrannical
edict, but continued to mind our own
business as usual;
As for discontinuing_the publication of

ViOla4digham Meetings.
None of the , infamous acts of the infa
mous administration seems to have arous
ed popular indig,natipn like the
Vallatidi
gham outrage: Meetings_to denounce the
act, are being held in the large towns and
cities, Which area atteded by immense
numberk of People. The - meeting at
Philadelphia. last week was perhaps the
largest ever: 'convened Independence
Square. The epeecbes and resolutions
were admirable. As the resolutions are
lengthy, we prefer.to- quote those passed
at a meeting in . •Newark,lT. J c -
nereasi Itis - not only the , privilege`hut
the duty of freemen to withstand the en
ornaments of the . Executive, ,and to re
buke with firrnness those iii- po . werWho,
under any plea
' however specious, may
presume to assault the rights of the peo
ple; therefor% -
Resolved, That now, when despotism 1
has seized the government„ boldness is I
prudence, and that we shall avoid most of
all the counsels of the timid or time-serv
ing politicians. (Cheers.) .
11./?,esolved, That the-people , have thus far
suhinitted to the illegal acts of the admin.
istration not because they,are ignorant of
their ri,,olts,lor because they are indiffer
ent to the inestimable blessings of liberty,
nor becaese they are wanting in courage
to resist the aggressions of lawless power,
but because they = have patiently hoped
that the President and his advisers would
desist from their - violations of the Consti
tution in time to save themselves and the
country from the consequences to which
such acts inevitably , lead. "(Cheers.)
Resolved, That in the illegal seizure and
banishment of Hon. C. L. -Vallandigham,
the laws of our country have been out-.
raged, the name'of the . United States dis
°racedr and the rights of 'every citizen
menaced, and that it is-now, the duty of a
law-respecting , people to demand of the
administration that it at once and forever
desist from such deeds of despotism and
crime. (Enthusiasm.)_ ,
Resolved, That we have reason taker,
from.the violation_ by the administration
of the laws paised at, its own instarice,and
from the acts and threats of cabinet offi,.
cers.and generals in the army, a eettled
purpose to establish, instead of an elec
tive Goverritherit, a military despotismy
and that if -thelimoshould unhappily nr-i
rive when our „rulers shall madly attempt
to deprive tis of an appeal tothe ballot;
box, tt will then be the plain - right and du
ty of the people to withdraw their, consent;
from such a qovernmeid,and to e.onutruet,'
by the speediest and Most'available meads
in their. power, tha government eStablish
ed by - our fathers. (Tremendous eheers.),
Besolved; That we heartily ,appreveof
the sentiments expressed ;by Governor
Seymour in his .resent letter, and that his,'
truthful; and timely vindication -of the
rights of freemen entitle ',him to_ - the ies-11
pect and"iiteenlof every loier. of liberty. ;

the violence of the king and his ministers,
In the act of Edward 111, all thefkinds of
treason are enumerated, and, every other
crime, besides such as are there'expressly
mentioned, is carefully excluded from
that appellation„—and arbitrarily to intro
duce into the catalogue anuthei, not.men
tioned, is itself a sobverbion of all law,
and under -color of defending liberty, Tel
verses a statute'the best. calculated for the
security of liberty;that had ever been en
acted by a British Parliament"
The United States Government .has on
its statute book a definition of the crime
of treason, and the .punishment to
the crime. Lieber ,says, "Aceording to.
the Constitution of thetrnited - States
son is - declared to consistin Only twenets,-
leVying = war ..against the United
'States, or adhering.to their enemies.`:' The
framers of the Constitution, not stopping
at the limitation of the Species of crime a
mounting to treason, have also prescribed
the kind and 'degree of,Proof requisite to
a conviction. That no person - shall be con
victed of this crime unless on the testimo
ny of two'witnesses to thesame overt act,
or on confession in open court. There is
no offense in the United. States - that pass
es under' the name of ply 'treason, tior
does there seem any subj t to-w_hiCh - the
appellation could be given, except an of
-fense against tbe government of one of
the States, and there it could not properly
apply, since the States are in some res
pects supreme." _ • .
. Thus were the citizens of the United
States protected against the violence-of
the President and his ministers, by the
provisioneof the Constitution. - Thomas'
Jefferson said, "The- framers of ounCon
stitutiorreupposed- they had guarded the
citizens , against , oppression, .Under pre
tence of preserving the government.
,(Trial

merits the highest punishment. Bet'most

gainst the' government, and acts *hlt
the opppressors of the governnient.', The
latter are virtues, yet have furnished more
victims to the executioner than.tholorav:

sions frequent.: The unsuccessful drug--
