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.

(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.

Cobbett says: "To cap the 4 whole, to cbmplete a serieeof adts r-- witty such as was never before beard it was enacted in 1539 that the king's prod !mations should be of the same:(One at acts of parliament, and that, the famous Statute of Edward • 111 for the-i3ectirity of the people a,gainst unfounded charges of treason should be wholly set aahle. Nu merous things were made treason that were never before criminal at all. Thus, all law and justice were laid prostrate at the feet of a siogli.l man, and that man one with whom law 'Was a mockery, and Magna Marta was trampled under his feet, and the people'who had been as free as air, were thrust into prisons withont I trial ; who had never haill an idea that Magna Chart.a and all the laws of the land could' be set aside in ambment, were and:executed witbout. )e crimes, or pretended ty were , acetified.", all species of guilt, the td with the most sera= tamed< that of treason, a le itltas- found most necessary 'to protect the subject against 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 of Aaron Burr.)
