Tho unanimousnominnJtion of tho Hon.

off into tho Old Capitol Prison at Wash-

confined as fellons, havo been released,

this sort of persecution for opinion's sake,
that has occurred in our State, under any
Administration, sineo the days of the
''Jicign of Terror," guided by tho "Alien
and Sedition Laws," and as tho prison-
ers wero honorably discharged as soon as
thoy obtained a hearing, without being

of their release and triumphal reception at

Dr. John lets off another growl at the

their going to Washington, to pay the
Sldiers their Bounty, is mean and con
temptible, They always intended justice
to the Soldiers, but refused to take action
on the Bounty qucst'on after his crazy

hold any reference to the "indignaton

Returning to their homes, they chose
Saturday evening as the time, to avoid
any manifestations on the part of their
friends, but the intention of returning thus
quietly was frusterated by one of the most
flattering receptions. The car had scarce
ly reached the dopot, and the announce
ment been made that tho party had
arrived, than they wero surrounded by
friends who made the welkin ring with
enthusiastic cheers. In a very few mom
ents the crowd, which was small at first,
swelled to hundreds; a procession was
formed which escorted the exiles to their'
homes. Bnlli sides of Market street were
lined with ladies and gentleman, and the
men who went nut nf the nitv uritlpr nn
escort of soldiers, returned amid tie
plaudits of the men, and the waiving of i
handkerchiefs by the ladies.
Arriving at the house of Col. Ma J
I
Dowell. the crowd which must now have
numbered nearly a thousand men, called
loudly for that gentleman, when he
mounted the slops and addressed them as
follows, being lrequontly interrupted by
the most vociferous cheering :
Fiiends and Fellow-citizens: On the
0th day of August, titan hour's notice, we
wero marched from this city under an es
cort of gleaming bayonets to the Railroad
Depot, and from thence taken at Washin
ton city, where wo were imprisoned,
without a hearing, for sixteen days, for
what reason I will not now state, as you
all know it. Through the intercession
of friends, and our own exertions, we
secured a hearing last evening at Oo'clock,
when, strange to say, we were confronted
by no accuser, nor was there even a
charge made against us. The pretext
upon which wo were arrested was most
summarily disposed of, and an honorable
discharge given us. Applause.
Although mortifying as it was to leave
home as we did, and unjust as the whole
arrest was, this spontaneous welcome
more then compensates for all we endur
ed, or the indignities we suffered Ap
plause. I his is the proudest hour of
my life. It proves that we have the
endorsement of onr fellow-citizens.
Cheers and applause. It shows that
they have a strong appreciation of con
stitutional liberty, and are opposed to
crushing out the freedom of speech or
muzzling tho press. Destroy these in
alienable rights, and the word liberty be
becomes a hollow mockery a sounding
brass and tinkling cymbal, a rope of sand,
a delusion and a lie. Prolonged applause
and cheering.
Wo do not know how our arrest orig
inalcd, because no accuser had the tern
ertiy to face us. Wo claim to bo loyal
and law-abiding citizens, and there is
nothing upon the record to prove to the
contrary, We havo our own opinions,
. and ihcsc not conflicting with laws in cx-
j istence, we will maintain at all hazards
1 and on all occasions, regardless of the
uonunciations oi cowardly traduccrs who
stand behind the screen. We maintain
llat we naVB dono our duty as loyal
citizens, and the evidence of this is in
absence of a charge or even an Ac -
CUSCr.
