The great issue between the Democrat ic and Republican parties during the war related tc. tbe,.power assumed by the gen eral government to arrest civilians "with out dne,Process of law," and try them be fore ; illegal military commissions. The Democratic party earnestly , protested ngairist this assumption on the part of a Republican administration, as it flagrant, - 1 -•infiantinii of one of the plainest provis ions of the Censtitntienolestructive of the personal 'rights of the citizen as 'guaran teed by tbal,','sacred instrument, danger ous to public liberty, and tending directly to the overthrow of our free institutions. This was the main issue between the two parties during the war. Not withstanding the odium which at tached to the Demaeratic party for its no ble defence of the rights of the people, during the perilous times through which we have passed, the day of its vindication has at last. come.' The highest judicial tribunal iu the country—the Supreme Court of the, United States—has just refl. tiered a decision, affirming in die most positive terms, the position of the Demo critkparty on the right of military com misSiena,-te .try civillians. The Supreme Court declare all such trials - to be:illegal and unconatittilinnal. case in Witich the decision is given, is ldiown to the.coutitry the "Indiana Conspiracy Case." Several citizens of the State of Indiana wore arrested by the mil itary atthorities in 1864, feirloonspiracy, tried before a military commission and sentenced to be hung. Before ,the day fixed fur the execution theirsentence was commuted by President Johnson, to im , prison ment for life. The case was then brought before the United States"tircuit Court for Indiana, on a writ of hams cor pus, for the discharge of the prisoners.— The two Circuit Judges being divided in opinion, the case was certified to : the Su preme Court where the final decision was rendered as above referred to. Tho opinion of the Court refers to the importance of observing the Conatitution al guarantees for the protection Of the cit izen in his person and property, and de clares that the "experienta:of our past history shows the ikisdoteof the framers of the Constitution,' -in Constructing it to be alike t-fficient in war as in peace." The learned judge wbodelivered the opinion then porttinties - : "The powers of the Con _stit4tiott:-should not be strained to suit ...einerzencies, for on its maintenance in all its integrity, depend our liberties and free-government, not only in the present, but for all time-to come." . What Democrat does not feel an hon est pside in being a member of that glori ous old time-honored party, whose posi tion on a fundamental question of Consti tutional government is thus judicially en dorsed by the highest Court in the land ? What better vindication could ask ? and what higher monument to its patriotism and fidelity to law ?— Volley Spirit. A Negre , Competitor for the United States" Senatinship. . , . At. pip' recent meeting of the wooly head societi'M Philadelphia, where Chief Juitiee Chase expounded darkness to his darg - audienee, Mr. Aaron Powell, ediger of the Anti-Slavery Standard, said in a speech, the Senatorial canvas in in thiti•:strtte .he wished that one dis tinguiAed representative man of the State, brie favorably known in this coun try a nd Europe,,a man of Marked ability, whose name is Robert Purvis, could be sent:to the chair occupied bySenator Cowan. It wouldn't be long that the S ate of Pennsylvania would be dishon ored in disfranchising the black. He knew that Kelly, if consulted, and believed that Curtin and Stevens, if consulted, would magnanimously stand aside and allow such a result to occur. He urged the put ting forward of Mr. Purvis with all the energy the Society could command. It mast not be forgotten that Robert Purvis is a negro. After the election of two negroes to the Mdssaehusetts Legislature, no one need be surprised to find the little imitators of Pennsylvania following snit., riErThe .Harrisburg Telegraph, the cen tral. organ of the Republican party of Pennsylvania, makes a direct and most de cided attack upon the loyalty of General Grant. It reads him a lecture after the following fashion: - "The public has been much disappoisit ed:and outraged by the knowledge that Gen. Grant !lessen fit to endorse the up_ plication for pardon of" Gen. Picket, and others. - --Rienator Doolittle_ writes from New Orleans that his views on the subject of renonstniction, as expressed in the Senate, and embodied in the policy of the Presi dent,-have been confirmed by observa tion.
