EL DEMOCEA TIQ
0 ONVENTION
The Demoratic State Convention for
the nomination of candidates for Govern
or and Supreme Judge meets to-day, at
Harrisburg. There may be a protracted
contest for Governor, but Judge Lowrie
will,problbly be renominated by acclama
tion. Should there be no very decided
struggle, we ought to have the nomina
tions announced this afternoon.
If as is reported, and, in some quarters
believed, rebel cavalry are in the neigh
borhood of Harrisburg, it may have th e I
effect of hurrying up the proceedings of
the convention. In that case our platform
will, doubtless, be of moderate propor
tions, and the speeches correspopdingly
brief. Although valiant ourself, our ad
vice is, that should the apprehended raid
take place, let each member of the Con.
vention exercise that prudence so highly

R 0 CL AIMIN G MARTIAL
In almost every community there are
what is termed "fussy people," individuals
of rickety, nervous organizations and
little sense. When these sort of people
undertake to control and direct public
opinion in times of great apprehension
and excitement, they invariably inflame,
alarm arid terrify the community.
It must have been a dreadful panic
which prompted the suggestion of the
necessity of Martial Law for Pittsburgh;
but pa +pie will make suggestions, no
matter what may be the consequences.—
la relation to martial law, however, the
difficulty appears to be that those who de
sire it do not understand what it is; let us
then explain, because, just now, it is the
business of every citizen to comprehend
it. Martial law is not, as many suppose,
military law; far from it. Military law is
well defined, but martial law is just no
law at all. It may be necessary in extra
ordinary cases, such as that of Gen. Jack
son at New Orleans, where a foreign foe '
had landed upon our coast Emil the city '
.itself swarming with British sympathizers
and spies. But these cases very rarely i
occur, and this being so; there is, cer
tainly no necessity for it in this neighbor.
hood. The great trouble with many in times
of popular commotion is, that they take
counsel from their fears and suggest ideas
which afterwards appear nonsensical even
to themselves. Such persons should stay
at home in times of excitement and Lot
attempt to give direction, when men of the
soundest sense and discretion are alone
needed
In relation to martial law the World quotes
from several high authorities, all going to
prove that martial law is no law at all, but
a total setting aside of all law, or its entire
subordination to the will of a military corn
mender. Blackstone (I Commentaries,
413) says that martial law is entirely arbi
trary, and is built upon no principles,
Sir Matthew Hale (Hist. Com. Law, C. 2)
says it is in truth and reality no law; the
Duhe cf Wellington (11ouse of Lords, 1851)
said that martial law means no law at all,
but the will of the general till the or
dinary law can be either established or
restored. Rid Grey (Debate in Parlia
ment, 1824), in accordance with the ad
vice of Lord Cottenham, then Lord High
Chancellor, Lord Campbell, afterwards
Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, and
Sir J. Jervis, then Attorney General, said,
that what is_called martial law is no law at
all ; but merely for the sake ofpublic safe
ty in circumstances of great emergency,
setting aside all law and acting under the
military power ; a proceeding which re
quires to be followed by an act of indem
nity when the disturbances are at an end ;
Lord Brougham ( House of Commons,
1824) said that martial law is entirely un
known to the laws of England, and that
since the yetitiou of Right "no such thing
as m artial law has been recogni;ed in this
country;" and Mr. Hallam (Constitution.
al history of England) says that martial
law has been expressly forbidden in Eng
land for near two centuries, "as well as
by the principles of every other free con•
stitutional government."
Congress can enact civil and military
laws, but martial law is the subversion of
both and the occasion which would justify
it, ought to be like that of Jackson's at
New Orleans, the result of most extraor
dinary circumstance. Such a state of af
fairs we are happy to say does not exist in
this rtighborhood.
GOOD ADVICE.

dulging in the practice of which it com
plains for two years, now gives the follow
ing go d advice to those penetrating civil.

readers with their remarkable Military ea

STATE
"MORRIS."
But I do not charge that by this you are
guilty of willful and corrupt perjury; for
I know that a man's opinions, even of the
Constitution, are very much affected by
circumstances, and by the company he
keeps, and I know that your circumstances
are very trying, and abolition company
does not supply the most favorable influ
ence for a correct interpretation. I know
that the wish very often unconsciously
guides the thought, so as to mislead in or•
dinarily very plain cases; and the people
are often not exactly dishonest even in
the refinements which they allow their
reason to make in order to satiety their
conscience that the old and familiar index
boards are wrong set, and that the wrong
way is the right one.
This is just what the rebels did when they
cast o$• their allegiance and instituted
treason. They explained and refined away
their oath according to their wishes, just
as many "loyal" men are doing among
as. They found a new emergency, a ;date
necessity, which they could not meet, as
honest men, in the way they wished, with•
out a new interpretation of their official
oaths, and that new interpretation was
readily found. And they thought it was
patriotism that demanded their interpre
tation.
As I read, and have always been edu
cated to read the Constitution, you and
the rebels are both violating it, and both
have essentially the same excuse for it, and
charity suggests that both are equally sin
cere, and yet both are wrong. One vio
lates it for the sake of Union, and the
other for State Rights, both of which
are assured by it, and therefore both
claim that the Constitution justffiee or ,ex
mutes their acts. Each makes the same
appeal to Stale necessity, and possibly
with both it is only party necessity. Sir,
thie is a fearful example to set of the way
'in which official oaths may be evaded. I
leave it to your conscience to set you right
about this matter.
I admit that it is by the laws of war
that we are to be beguiled, and by the
military power Are are to act against the
rebels, with whom -we are at war. But it
is not and cannot be eo within the
loyal States, and against those who only

with whom we• are not at war. To them
th e military power cannot be applied. If

PRESIDENT ON VAL
L'LLISTDIGRABI.
' -
Soma time since a Democratic meeting,
held in Albany, New York, to : denounce
the illegal arrest and banishment of Mr.
Vallandigham, instructed their committee
to address President Lincoln demanding
his immediate release. -The President - in=
a long letter, replies to this demand, and
in Mr. Seward's best style of special plead
ing. He concludes as follows, which looks
to us very much as if Mr. Lincoln was
anxious for some one to furnish him with
a reason for Vallandigham's release. He
does not censure B draside's but concludes
as follows :
"And yet, let me say, that in my owe discretion.
I'd° notknow whether I would have ordered the
atrest of Mr. Val andigham. While I cannot
shift the responsibility from myself, I hold that,
as a general rule, the commander in the fled is
the better lodge of the necessity in any particular
ease. Of course, I must practice a general direc
tory and revisory power in the matter
"One of the resolutions express the opinion of
the meeting that arbitrary arrests will hove the
effect to divide and distract those who short d be
united in suppressing the rebellion and . l 'am
specifically called upon to discharge Mr VaLlan
digham. In response to such appeal I have to
say, it gave me pain when I learned Mr. Vallee -
digham had been arrested—that is, I was
pained that there should have seemed to bo Is
necessity for arresting him—and that it will
afford me great pleasure to discharge him so soon
wil e au hy any means believe the public safetll not sitUr by it. I further say, that f asthe y
Iva - Pvh-fre-,.e4, it appears to rue, opinion and
ae , ion, whi.th were in great confusion at fi-st,
take shape and fall into more regular channels
so that the necessity for strong dewing with them
gradually decreases. I have every reason to de
sire that it should cease altogether, and far from
the least is the regard for the opinion. and wishes
of those who, like themeeting at Albany, declare
their purpose to sustain the government in every
constitutimal and lawful measure to suppress
the rebellion• Still, I must continue to do so
much as may seem to be required by the public
safety, A LINCOLN."

THE LIMITARY ABOVE THE
CIVIL POWER
NUMBER XIS.
To His Excellency, Abraham Line sin,
President of the tin ited Mates :
tita: Since so many of the j mrnals of
your own party have undertaken to ten
sure the usurpations of the military power,
it is perhaps unnecessary for me to refer
to this subject. If you will not hear them,
it is not likely you will respect any views
of mine ; but if you are inclined to bear
them, I trust that some suggestions of
mine may add force to the call they make
upon you to retrace your steps.
I prefer not to rehearse the numerous
instances in which the military power has
superseded the civil, by the arrest, impris
onment., and exile of eitil.?lll9, by the vio•
lotion of the writ of habeas corpus, by the
suppression of newspapers, and by send
ing armed solders to overawe free assent
blies of the people You know much more
about that than I do. How you reconcile
these things with your inauguration oath,
lam unable to conceive. Your oath is to
"preserve, protect and defend the Cons. i
tution :" and to my plain mind this seems
very clearly to mean, to defend all the in•
stitutions which the Constitution provides
for and all its principles. It reiptires you,
therefore, to see that every alleged offer'
der against the public welfare shall ba tried
only by the civil courts; "except in cases.
arising in the land and naval forces, or
in the militia, when in actual service, in
time of war or public danger ;" and that
no one else shall be "deprived of life, lib.
ertior :property, without due process of
law ;" and that "the right of the people
peaceably to assemble and petition for a
redress of grievances" shall be secure ;
for all these are express principles of the
Constitution
Your oath farther requires you to pre
serve that all-pervading feature of the
Constitution, which places the military al
ways in subordination to the civil power,
and that which prohibits any law, much
more any military order, " abridging the
freedom of the press or of speech." Now,
I do not say how far you have directed
any transgressions of any of these princi
ples; you certainly have sanctioned some
of them by retaining in position the men
who have committed them under color of
their offices. This is equivalent to a re
fusal on your part to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution in these par
ticulars.

mere will, will define the relation in which
they will stand to you. Thus forewarned,
it will be their business to watch against
spies and midnight attacks, and it will be
their folly if they be caught, and they will
no longer be defied by trusting in their
riril right. Sir, let commonsense be your
guide, and not p scion, and we shall still
have civil laws and institutions for civil
rights and offences, and Inilitary force
only for those who have decldred war
against us.
When, in 1769, the. British sent soldiers
to compel Massachusetts to obedience,
the legislature of that colony declared
"that the sending an armed force into the
colonies, under pretence of asserting the
civil power, was highly dangerous to the
people, unprecedented - and unconstitu•
tional.7
•
And when, in 1774, they proceeded to
annul the charter of Massachusetts by act
of parliament, and not by judicul trial,
Col. Barre said in his place in the House
of Commons : "I see nothing in these
measures but inhumanity, injustice and
wickedness, and 1 fear that the avenging
hand of Heaven will fall heavy on this
country;" and the Dukes of Richmond
and Portland and the Marquis of Rocking.
ham and other Lords protested that "a
definite offense ought to have been clearly
stated, and the parties heard in their own
defense," and added among other things :
"To render the colonies permanentlg ad•
vantageous, they must be satisfied with
their condition. That satisfaction there
is no chance of restoring, but by recurring
to the principles on which the repeal of
the stamp act was founded"—concession.
I would apply this to all great national
differences, as well rebellions as partisan.
And when the act to send accused colo
nists to England for trial, was under dis
cussion in Parliament. Mr. Sawbridge
said : 'This is evidently meant to enslave
America—the same minister who would
enslave the colonies would also enslave
Cireat Britain if he c )uld." And Colonel
Barre said : "You are offering the last of
human outrage.s. to the people in America
—by suliecting them in effect to military
execution; instead of sending them the
olive branch of peace, you have sent them
the naked sword." No man, Rir, has
ever spoken more freely of your adminis
tration, than did the people of England
speak of the ministry that was in power
during our revolution.
Remember the saying of the famous Sir
Franeji Wakingliam —"a statesman must
obis-rve the j Ants and flex - urea of affairs.' '
