Lt attiot i#l4in+ WEDNESDAY MORNING..JUNE 10 1863 INTERESTING LETTER FROM JUDGE BITER. The Albany Argus publishes the following interesting letter from Judge WILLIAM ALMX ANDRE NEE; L. L. D., author of "Lectures on the Constitutional Jurisprudence of the United States," and formerly President-of Columbia College. The letter is one of the ablest expo sitions of the peculiar condition of the country we have seen, and the suggestions it throws out and the advice it contains are well worthy the serious considerat' of our people. We presume the letter w dressed to the late il l Albany Mass Demoora meeting: OSWEGO, May 20, 1863. Gentlemen—l received some time ago your letter inviting me to attend the public meeting called to vindicate the right of the people to express their sentiments upon politionl ques tions. It was not in my power to be present at the meeting, and illness has prevented me until the present moment from answering your letter. I answer it now, though late, both to explain my apparent incivility, and also because I think that in the present crisis no loyal citi zen ought to shrink from the expression of his opinion. The action that has taken place since your meeting *as held, convinces me that it is the intention of the President and his advisers to crush opposition to their acts by means of forcer and terror. For this purpose they have established and do now actually enforce martial law in . several %pal States, and they will doubtless do the same in New York, and every where else, unless they are made to know that the people will not submit to it: To many persons the words "martial law" do not convey any very definite idea. They know that it is something very harsh and rigor ous, and summary, but they suppose that it bears some resemblance to all other laws of which they have ever heard or read, in this re spect at least : that it defines offences and fixes their punishment. Andl cannot but suppose that many of those who clamor for its estab lishinent are ignorant that it is nothing in the world but the absolute and unrestrained will of a military Chieftain. Permit me then to give a description of martial law upon the authority otthe highest judicial tribunal of our country. The language is that of Jndge Woodbury, in delivering the opinion of the court, in a case determined by the Supreme Conft of the Uni ted State : ".49,y it," says the court, "every cid zen, instead of reposiny under the shield of known and fixed laws as to his liberty. property and life, aidtB With a rope round hie neck, subject to be hung up by a military despot at the next lamp poet, under- Me sentence of some drum-head court martial." It is true that Republicans have reason to believe that they will be safe from the horrors of this law, under a Republican administra tion. No Republican or Abolitionist has yet been arrested, imprisoned or banished, and they may reasonably calculate that none ever will be. Such persons are permitted to stig matize the Constitution as a league 'with hell, and insist that the war shall be prosecuted, not to restore the Union, but to - destroy it, without being regarded as guilty of any "dis loyal practices." The- only sufferers, so far, have been Democrats. Indeed, the very pur pose for which 'the establishment of martial law is sought by the managers of thn, clubs and leagues, is to destroy the Demoortio party. And we find it declared in an officlifdoeument emanating from the War Department, that to support the Democratic' party is to support the cause of the rebels. This terrible engine, I then, is to be set in 'motion by one political , party for the persecution of another, aiming neighbor against neighbor; and setting issues in every household. 'The machinery is pee -1 pared. Already the secret societies are in mo tion, bound by what oaths I know not. That they who design these things design all their, dreadful consequences I do not believe; but they know little of human nature and little of history who cannot dieoern thew- Under a single despot there is equality;. from a 'single despot there may be hope of escape. But the worst form that despotism can assume is that. of the tyranny of party over party; and if anything can add to its horrors 'it is when the dominant faction is inflamed by fanaticism and led by priests. What matter!' it that these men are eonaci.. entious ; ihat they act under a sense of duty, of religious dety 1 .1 do not impeach their motives. The more ponseientious they are, the worse. All 'fanatics are conscientious, and it is this ilia, makes their tyranny, of all tyran nies, the most insufferable. What we .cati and ought to do, beyond the mere e,xpression of• our sympathy, in aid of our oppressed - countrymen in Ohio; Benlinclty 'and Indiana, is a subject upon which it may be , as well at present •to say nothing. , Let:us wait, the course of events. We have an immediate questions toidetermine for oureelves,snd that is whether we will permit the establishment of the same species of government in our own State—a government which not only no En gliahman and no Frenchman would endure,. but against which the very laszaroui of Naples would revolt. • I do not speak of exceptional cases of en extreme public necessity, such as we may imagine, though their occurrence is not at all propable ; but I speak of systematic acts, done under claim of right, without neces sity, upon false pretences, acts which are not only flagrantly unconstitutional, but utterly subversive of liberty and of law, and of which the manifest tendency, if not the purpose, is not to maintain the Union, but to destroy it. I am sure that we will not submit to this, and we ought to say so plainly. I have no faith in any petitions, protests or remonstrances that fall short of this. There is danger in leaving the President ignorant of our purpose. I am got sanguine enough to hope for anything from his sense of justice or respect for the law. The powers that control him, whether spiritual or terrestrial, will do to us whatever we will suffer, but are not likely to attempt that which they know we will not suffer. ' At the same time I deprecate all resistance that is not strictly constitutional. Let us not only submit to, but support all proper autho rity. The Pfesident claims the constitutional power to establish Martial law over the body of the people in the loyal Staten. We deny it. Let the courts determine the question. The judicial authority is vested ig the Courts, and not in the President, the Congress, or the army. It is as much the duty of the President, as of any private citizen, to submit to that authority, If he resists it, he becomes an usurper, and may himself be lawfully resisted. And, on the other hand, if any court or judge, acting under the forms of law, shall sanction his monstrous assumptions, let us in turn submit; not be cause there may not he judicial as well as ex ecutive usurpation, and the same right.in ex treme cases to resist the one as. the other, but on account of the condition of the country, ,en d the double dangers that assail us. In this. way there feLay be occasional acts of tyranny, PRICE TWO CENTS. as has been already, but upon the whole the restraint of the judiciary will be found ade quate to our protection, if the President him self will respect it. But if any citizen of this State shall be ar rested or imprisoned by military men, or by provost marshals or other officers, acting un der the authority of the President, and the court before whom the question shall be brought shall determine that he is entitled to his liber ty, then, if in spite of this decision, force shall be used to detain him, there ought to be no hesitation to support the judiciary in opposi tion to military usurpation, and I should re gard it as base and cowardly not to do so, un less In the face of such a force as should make resistance quite hopeless. If it be said that such action would impede the successful pros ecution of the war, I answer that it is better that a nation should lose a portion of its terri. tory than its liberty. And if for this cause the rebellious States shall succeed in establishing their independence, the fault will . be that of the administration ; and the people, driven to choose between two evils, will have wisely chosen that which, beyond all comparison, is the least. • The times require, in a very high degree, the exercise of the virtues of courage and of prudence. Moderation in our counsels will give us strength and unity in action. Let us accept as our leader, him whom not less merit than position designates, (the Chief Magietrate of our State,) and follow and support that moderate and patriotic, but not feeble or un manly, policy which he has recommended and enforced with so much dignity and success, and I shall yet hope that the Union may tri umph over both classes of its enemies—the Southern Secessionists and the Northern Abo litionists.

CHESTER COUNTY. • DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONYENTioN In pursuance of a call of the committee of Correspondence, a Democratic Delegate Con vention assembled in Horticultural Hall, in West• Chester. on Tuesday, Jane 2d, 1863', and organized by appointing Nadia!' T. M'Veigh, 'Esq., President; Joseph P. Walton, Es;., and John D. Evans, Vice Presidents ; and Capt, Samuel Holman and H. E. Monaghan, Esq., Secretaries. On motion, Joseph Ebner, Esq., George Ross, R. A. Gilpin, John B. Schniale, DP. L: Oberholtzer, John Miller, John D. Evans, R. E. Monaghan, Henry Hamor, Jaoob C, nel, 'Forrester Hoopes, Morton Garrett, and John IL Mackey, were atopointed a committee to prepare resolutions for the consideration of the convention, and withdrew for that purpose. During their absence, John Rutter, Esq., at the call of the convention, made a brier but able speech, in which he eloquently discussed some of the subjects at present greatly agita ting the public mind. At the conclusion of his . reparke, the committee reported the following resolutions which were received with enthusi astic approbation, and adopted by a unanimous vote : RESOLUTIONS. 1. Resolved, That the Union of .the States, under the Constitution as formed and, under . stood by the framers thereof, has cver , been and still• continues to be the great deaire of the Democratic party, and history must record , it as free from all responsibility for the present disrupting and ruinous civil war brought about by Northern Abolition and Southern Secession-- a condition of things which would eertlunly have, been prevented and avoided, if the lead? ere and eontrollere of the Republican party bad discarded sectional and yielded to the dictates of patriotism and the wise and conservative Counsels of Washington and JaCkson. 2. Resolved, That the life of the American system of free government consists in the pre servation of the constitutional rights and lib erties of the citizens. Permit these to , be vio lated without jusCrebuke and condemnation, • and liberty dies; the reople become the slaves of arbitrary power ; and extended doxiinibn is but extended despotism. • 8. Resolved, That more than two years of. experience cannot have failed to convince all unprejudiced idtizens' whose first with is fertile general :welfare of the wholevountry, that the Republican party is utterly inoompetent te ad. minister, successfully, the affairs of • govern ment ; that its views and purposes are teo.?el flat and sectional ; that its fanatical and un practical ideas in behalf of the negroes, lesdit to neglect the intereese and violete the rights of _white men. We therefore,call upon all. who desire a restoration of the good old• times of unites, prosperity and peace, to rally' at 'Once with the Democratic party, and ' • again . give it the power and control of the State and general gevernmeets, fee it was under the policy .and administration of That party that our country had become 'mat among nations, and our citizens happy, prosperous and peacefnl at home. • 4. Resolved, That th*frequent and repeated violations of the Constitution in its assurances and guarantees of rights to the people and the States, by the present administration of the general government—especially its arrest, trial and punishment, by military law, of citi zens not connected with the army or navy, or in ineurreatien or retiellion against the general government, but residing in States where the civil law is in unobstructed force, and United States and State courts open—are acts of usur pation destructive of free• governme nt, . and should arouse the citizens to a propeesense of the dangers now threatening their liberties. 5. •Resolved, That the arrest, trial and pun ishment, by military power and force, of the Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham i of Ohio, for an alleged offence which, if silk offence at all, was cognizable only by the U. S. Courts under acts of Congress approved by President •Lin coin, was an outrage upon Law and the clearly defined constitutional rights of the citizen, which presents some of the worst features of military despotism, and, if sanctioned by the American people, will prove them unworthy of the free institutions inherited from their revo lutionary ancestors. [On the reading of the foregoing resolution, the Convention arose and gave three earnest and enthusiastic cheers for Clement L. Vallan dighsm, three more for the cause he represents, and three more for the petple who , support him and his cause.] • O. Resolved, That the conduct of Governor Curtin, in silently and tamely permitting citi zens of • Pennsylvania, guilty of no offence known to the law, and esertieing no privilege or right not guarabteed by the Constitution, to be arrested, molded out of the State, and subjected to unjust and illegal punishment, has shown himself unworthy of the Gubernatorial office. • 7. Resolved, That the people of Pennsylvania are about entering into one of the most impor tant civil contests in which they have ever 'participated, 'because of the influence which the result must exercise for or against the in- PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING, lIIIIDAYB NECIMPTIID I BY 0.

It is, therefore, incumbent upon the Democracy to select, as their Gubernatorial candidate, a man whose private character and personal integrity cannot be truthfully assailed—whose fidelity to the doctrines and .principles of State rights and Federal Union ve above suspicion—and whose moral courage in behalf of right, and in opposition to won', mai confidently be relied on by the people, in any crisis through which they may be called to pass: Such a man is our fellow citizen, Nimrod Strickland; and if the State Convention, in ite wisdom and judg, ment, should confer the nomination upon him, we know that the Democracy of Chester county would unanimously ratify it and unitedly rally with their Democratic brethren of the State, to his support as the standard-bearer of the true and great Constitutional Union party of Pennsylvania. CONFEREES By authority of the convention, the Presi de& appointed Col. Joseph B. Baker, Dr. E. C. Evans, and Wm. W. Downing conferees on the subject of a delegate to represent the Sen atorial district of Chester and Delaware coun ties in the State Convention. REPRigENTATIVE DELEGATES. On motion, the convention proceeded to vote for delegates to represent the county in the State Convention, when the following were elected : • Northern district—Charles C. Moore, of U. Uwohlan; Middle die.—John H. Brinton, Esq., of West Chester; Southern dis.—Dr. John A. Morrison, of West Fallow field. On motion it was resolved that the proceed ings be published in the Joffersonian, the Age, the Philadelphia Evening Journal, and the Ps.- TRIOT AND UNION. The convention then adjourned. EXTREMES MEETING. Front tin Albany Argue. There is no more earnest and determined advocate of a Anal separation of the Union— no fiercer enemy of reconstruction on the battle of the Constitution, than the Richmond Enqui rer. As the organ of Jefferson Davila, and of the men who, under him, have risen to power in the Confederate . Government, it is naturally opposed to any restoration of the Federal. re lations, which would strip these ilea of their homeit and coneign them to Oblivion. ,Any re union of the States, whether accomplished by the strong arm of War, or by peaceful means, would be annihilation to the Enquirer and its party. It believes' that by the Sword alone, the reconstruction it so dreads and deprecates can neyer,be brought about, and is therefore willing that the war ahould continue until, ex hausted and ruined, the North must submit to final separation. What it really fears its lest the Democracy in the next Presidential elec tion should bring the masses of both sections together again in friendly council to reason, to persuade, to yield, and by mutual concessions to put a stop to . the present unnatural strife, and again live in brotherhood under a common Constitution and a common Government. This is the Skeleton in Rehouse. It fears the Dent °credo party as the only party by which the Union can be restored add the South prevented front accomplishing its object of a separate Confederacy, and it does not cease to warn its Made of the danger that threatens the cause of final separation in this direction. In its assaults upon the Democracy—in its exhOriatlon to the South. not to listen to ,the Union sentiments and patriotic reaseninge of the'Detoocratiepresa of the North—in its ter ror least the cildrelatiOne of all the States' to the Vederal government ehotild be restored, it finds a sympathizing ally in N'orthern dieuni onists, call them Abolitionists, Republicans, Loyal Lettgners, Peace .
