reinindonr readers' that ciPpesitidali?
stispensiOe, Thy theill'residetit.,:here in the
North, especially; is,an evidence that the
present Democratic paity is • following
Jefferson's advice.
JefferSon was opposed te thtt,pxistenee
of any power to shspend, the great writ
of liberty, at any time,, and thought the,
titans° relating to its suspension ri , grave
blemish in our Constitution, which ought
to be annulled by imeadirient. Ile wrote
to Madison from NHS, Ju1y31,,1178 : ,
"Why suspend the haireas tteents in jn
ir
• eirrectionand itbelliehs? 'The I)arties
who may be farrested - - may (be Instantly
charged with a well defined. crime : of
worse the jedgee will remand them. Ex
amine the history of England. See how
thew of the cases of the suspension of the
habeas corpus law haveheen worthy of that
suspension. They have been eithet real
treason, where the parties might as well
have been charged at oboe, or shale pieta
where it was shameful that they should
ever have been suspected.„
Jefferson advised, however, that. the
Coostitution should be adopted as . it
stood, and immediately amended by sub
joining what he called a " declaration of
rights;" which was in fact done. In a
letter to Donald he says , ,
"•By a declaration of rights, I mean
erne which stipulates freedom, of religion,
freedom of the press, freedom of com
merce against monopolies, trials by jury ,
in all eases, NO suspension of the habeas
corpus, no standing armies. These are
fetters against doing evil which no hon
est government should decline.' •
Jefferson's ideas were not fully carried
out, in all respects, in the :amended ara
of the Constitution; thoughlt, may (fairly
be questioned whether the habeas • corpus
provision is not,' virtually annulled by the
fourth, fifth and sixth amendthents, whinhi
positively and absolutely, 'forbid arrests
without a warrant supported-by oath, de
clare that no person shall be deprived of
.his liberty withent due propel of law,
and guarantee to the accesed a speedy
and public trial by jury in the )previouslil

' Jefferson was as stanclihr opposed to sus

he was President of the-United States, al l

Burr conspiracy, I?illyikpAssoby the
Senate, in secret eession, suspending the
writ for three months, and sent, in a con
fidential message to the House:. Before
describing the contempt it Cticetuntered
there, at the instigation of the
, Peesident,
it may be insttecate to look at the pro-
visions of the bill. We copy it verbatim.
" A Bill to suspend the Writ of Habeas
Corpus in certain cues :
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States in
Congress assembled : That in all cases

or from the chief executive, magistrate of
any state or territorial' government, or'
frown any person acting under the direc

United Statas, the privilege of the. writ of
habeas corpus shall be,and the same is here
by suspended, for and during the term of

our boys would vote for Woodward if
they could get a chance. They do hate
Andy Curtiu with all their might. The
,other day an abolition tract man brought
oCurtin's picture to our tamp and gave co
pies out for nothing. Somebody stuck
one up on a tree, and wrote 4 The Soldier's

'my leg tells how much of a friend he is.
I haven't walked right shine I got the

ever since the rain washed the shoddy un

other told otshoes.with paste-board soles
which he had got from the soldiers's
friend.' Altogether, you never heard a
rogue , get such a good round scoring as
Curtin did, and I wish that he and all his
contractors could have heard it. The
boys then amused themselves throwing
tobacco-quids' at the picture, and, before
we were done, Andy's tree was changed
into the popular color of his favorite

He allowed the 'cabinet. at Washington

of Kentucky, who is now:: n Paris, is
positively asserted to have written to
friends in New-York, that Napoleon and
Jeff Davis have formed, through Slidell,
a secret treaty of recognition.
A correspondent at, New Orleiiis gives
us full, particulars of the disaster !to the
federal advance 'against Texas. The ex
pedition, under Gen. Franklin, Weitzel,
and Emory, consisted of some 3,000 men,
thirteim- transports Jtwo gunboats; and ,
was joined' at Berwick by the gunbopfs
Sachem and Clifton. The expedifion
arrived! at Sabine Pass on the Bth. A
most mistaken 'notion seemed • to prevail
as to the 'character of the work to be
!attacked, it being thought to be contem
iptible. - Acting on• this supposition the!
guaboats Clifton and Sachem !crossed the
bar and fired at the rebel battery, wine h
really consisted of seven , first-class siege
guns._ The rebels held their fire until the
near approach of the boats gave them a
full opportunity, when they completely
riddled the gunboats, piercing the steam
drum of the Sachem compelling the apt.-
of the Clifton to fire a shot through the
machinery of his own boat. The entire
affair did not occupy more than fifteen
minutes, and the two gunboats grounding
the expedition started back to New
Orleans.
General Roseorans has had two severe
battles near Chattanooga between Steven
son and Dalton.. The first took place on
Saturday, and lasted from eleven till sixf
o'clock. This_ enngagement„was between
the advances of the two forces.. • On Sun
