Tue Constitution.
Of the invaluable rights with which every
freeman is endowed by his Creator, that of
personal security is one of the most sacred
A government which docs not espect and
protect it, is a despotism of the worst kind,
and under it the life of the citizen or subject
13 a worthless boon. Who would wish to live
under a government where he would be liable-
to be arrested aud incarcerated in a Jail
.t any moment, to languish there for months,
perhap3 for years, without having the right
of cldirnmj a hearing before a tribunal of his
Country, in order to ascertain the crimiual
matter with which he is charged, and be ad
mitted to bail, if a bailable offence, or dis
charged from custody if the charge appears
to be groundless or purely malicious ? Take
away thU r ight from the citizens of the Uni
ted States, and although they may continue
to style themselves freemen, they will in real
ity be so no longer.
The patriotic framers of the Constitution
in preparing that sacred instrument guarded
with jealous care, this high and holy right.
It provides (1st Art, Sec. 9.,) that "The privi
lege of the writ of habeas corpus, shall not
be. suspended unless when in case of rebel
lion or invasion, the safety of the country
may require it." This writ was known in
England, before the settlement of this coun
try, and has been styled the great writ of
English liberty, the highest right of the
subject. They therefore, very wisely, took
from the Monarch, the right of suspending
it, and vested that right in the Parliament
and in it alone Judge Blackstone in bis
celebrated commentaries says, "When the
State is in real danger the suspension may be
a necessary measure. But the happiness of
our Constitution ia, that it is not left to the
Executive power to determine when the dan
cer of the State is so great, as to render the
measure expedient, for it is parliament only,
or the legislative power can authorize it.
(Book 1st. page 136. ) It is ridiculous to
suppose, that the American freemen who fra
mad the Constitution, intended in that in
strument to invest the President with the
right to do that which the monarchies of
England were a trail to entrust to their sov
ereign. TLe Constitution is divided into Ar
ticles. ' Th2 first defines the powers of the
Legislative, the second of the Executive, the
third of the Judiciary branches of thtj Govern
ment. The paragraph of the Constitution
which wa have quoted above, occurs in the
Article, which defiues the powers of the Leg
islative branch. It is therefore evident, that
Congress is alone invested with the right to
suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus, and that only wbeu the public safety
shall imperatively require it, and that the
President possesses no more right to do so,
than a country Justice of the Peaco. This
point has been repeatedly so ruled by the U.
S. Supreme Court, and that it is invested
with the right of construing and expounding
the Constitution, we presume no one will de
ny. The late Chief Justio Marshall, in de
livering the opinion of the Supreme Court in
the case of Mason, (reported in 4 Cranch 101 )
aaid : "If at at any time the public safety
should require the suspension of the habeas
corpus act, it is for the Legislature to eay 80."
The celebrated Judge Story in his commen
taries on the Constitution, maintains a simi
lar doctrine. So also does Mr. Jefferson in
one one of his published letters. He regardel
this a one of the plainest points in the Con
stitution. Our attention has been attracted to this
matter by the proceedings growings out of
the case of a certain George Merryman, ar
rud recently in Baltimore, on the charge
The facts are briefly stated in the following
extract from the opinion filed by Chief Jus
tice Taney in the case
'This petition, presents the following case :
TKp Ttptitirtnp.r resides in Marvland. in Baltimore
I county. While peaceably in" his own house with
his family, it was, at 2 o.clocK on iu
of th f,th of Mav. 18C1. entered by an armed
force, professing to act under military orders,

ry, where he is imprisoned by the commanding
officer, without warrant from any lawful author
itv. The commander of the fort, Gen. George Cad
wallader, by whom he is detained in confine
nient, in his return to the writ, does not deny
any of the facts alleged in the petition, lie
states that the prisoner was arrested by order oi
General Keim of Pennsylvania, and conducted
as a r risoner to Fort McIIenry by his order, and
placed in his (Gen. Cadwallader's) custody, to
be there detained by him as a prisoner.
A copy of the warrant, oi order, under which
the prisoner wasarrestel, was demanded by the
counsel and refused. And it is not alleged in.
the return that any specific act, constituting an
offence against the laws of the United States, has
been charged against them upon oath ; but he
appears to have leen arrested upon general
charges of treason and rebellion, without proof,
and without giving the names of the witnessess,
or specifying the acts, which, in the judgment
of the military officer, constituted these crimes.
And having the prisoner thus in custody, upon
these vague and unsupported accusations, he
refuses to obey the writ of habeas corpus, upon
the ground that lie is duly authorized by the
President to suspend It.
The case, then, is simply this : A military of
ficer, re.iding in Pennsylvania, issues an order
to arrest a citizen of Maryland, upon vague and
indefinite chaiges, without any proof, so far as
appears. Under thi order his house is entered
in the night , he is seized as a prisoner, and con
veyed to Fort McIIenry, and there kept in close
confinement. And when a habeas corpus is ser
ved on the commanding officer, requiring him to
produce the prisoner before a justice ot the Mi-
preme Court, in order that he may examine into
the legallity of the imprisonment, the answer to
the officer is, that he is authorized by the Pres
ident to suspend the writ of habeas corpus at his
discretion, and, in the exercise of that discretion,
suspends it in this case, and on that ground rc
fuses obedience to the writ.
As the case comes before me, therefore, I un
derstand that the President not only claims the
right to suspend the w rit of habeas corpus him
self, at his discretion, tut to delegate that discrete
onary power to a military officer, and to leave it to
him todetermine whether he will or wil: not obey
judicial process that may be served upon him.
We are and always have been in favor of
sustaining President Lincoln ia the discharge
of his constitutional duties, but ho has no
right to usurp a power which does not belong
to him but to Congress. It is his duty to
take care that the laws be faithfully execu-
Dad Treatment of our Volunteers
The administration of Gov. Curtin does not
nnw neennv an enviable position. It has not
.. 1 j
only stamped itself with eternal infamy, but
as far as it possibly can. disgraced our noble
old Commonwealth. We learn that wherever
our gallact volunteers appear, they are laugh
ed at and pointed out as the ragged Pennsyl
vanians At Washington City they are, or
at least for some time were, compelled to ap
pear on parade with overcoats on, for the
purpose of covering their nakedness. Now
is this not humiliating, not only to our gallant
volunteers, who at the call of their country.
tore themselves away from their business,
from the comforts and endearments of home,
from every thing eacred and dear to men in
this world, but to every citizen of the State ?
Rotten clothing, wooden soled shoes and un
wholesoxe provisions have been furnished
them, at enormous prices, in order that they
might occupy a disgraceful and humiliating
position in the National Army, and soul-less
speculating scoundrels make a fortune. It
won't do for Gov. Curtin to say that he knew
nothing about the rascality that was being
perpetrated by the contractors. Neither the
soldiers nor the people will accept the excuse.
It was his duty .to attend to the matter and
sec that the soldiers were properly ."clothed,
armed and provisioned. Sins of omission, in
a matter of this kind, are as bad as sins of
commission. The excuse iu the most favora
ble view we can take of it amounts to but this,
that the Governor neglected attending to a
high and important part of his official duties.
If he had been properly attending to his le
gitimate duties, neither the soldiers nor the
State would have beon imposed on by fraudu
lent contractors in the manner they have been.
If not a corrupt aud dishonest, be is certainly
a careless and inefficient officer. But doubt
less the truth of the matter is, that the Gov
ernor was anxious to allow a few pets and fa
vorites to make the most of this golden op
portunity to amass a fortune, by robbing the
State and defrauding the soldiers.

ence in the business, and employing none but
the very best workmen that the eastern shops
can afford.
I also visited Mr. P. Urban's Furniture Shop,
and examined some very curious machinery of
his own invention, used fcr manufacturing vari
ous articles in his lii e of b.isiness. -.lie appears
to be quite a genius ami will doubtless make a
useful inventor.
We also had the pleasure of an introduction
to Miss C. C. M'Gough, who has latciy opened
out a Millinery auti Mantua store, where she can
be found at all times, readv to wait upon her la
dy customers, she has a complete assortment of
goods.
In the evening Mr. Trnffit had a Liberty pole
raised in front of his house, at which place a large
crowd of people had assembled. The pole is of
white pine, well finished, and is tatty or sixty
feet hish. When tho flag was ran up three
hearty cheers were given for the Stars and Stripes
Lieut. J. J. Will, of the Highlanders, was loud
ly called, who appearihg from among the crowd
in his working attire was greeted with loud
cheering. Mr. Will responded in an off hand,
though loirical and eloquent speech. Mr. Will
is a forcible speaker, auu we understan 1, a seif
made man. Mr. M. P. Doyle was then called
upon, who delivered in excellent speech. Nine
cheers was then proposed for the Union and the
Volunteer soldiery which was responded to in
earnest. The Bum dicourscd several pieces of
martial music, after which, all retired well pleas
ed with the proceedings of the evening. We
retired to the Hotel and found the ho&t, Mr.
Litzinger, busily engaged in the discharge of his
duty as hotel keeper. Mr. Litzinger keeps a
first class country hottl, and ijust the man for
the place.
Chest Springs is quite a business place, and is
beautifully situated in one ol tho best Agricul
tural districts in the count', having the advan
tage of good roads in all directions, making it at
ouce a pleasant and desirable place.

X3T Many a young and gallant hero will
lose his life in the present war, to whom,
when mouldering cold and low, the following
poem by one of America's greatest poets, will
i truthfully apply. As an offering of genius
at the grave of the soldier and patriot, it has
Kentucky to remain Xeutral.
Gov. Magoffin issued the following Proclama
tion declaring the neutrality of Kentucky in the
present struggle :
Whereas numerous applicaMuns have leen
made to me by many good citizens of this Com
mon wealth, persuading me to issue a proclama
tion forbidding the march of any forces of this or
any other State or States over our soil, to make
an apprehended attack upon the Federal forces
at Cairo, in Illinois, or to disturb in any other
wise the peaceful attitude of Kentucky with ref
erence to the deplorable war now waging between
the United States an 1 the Confederate States.
And whereas numerous applications from like
good citizens of this Commonwealth have also
been made to me, praying me to issue a procla

place, or tLe march over our sacred soil by any
force of the United States for anv purpose. And
whereas, it is made fullv evident, by every iudi'
cation of public sentiment, that it is the deter

to maintain, with courageous firmness, the fixed

O'a Tuesday the Sute Convention of North J

The ordinance was adopted by a uuanimous j
vote, one hundred and hfteen members oeing j
present, it reads as follows:
"We the people of tne Sute of North Caro

An ordinance was adopted to ratify the Con

The Kaliegh Standard gives the following ac
count of the scenes which qrecceded and follow
ed the passage of the ordinance :
"Mr. IJadger onered an ordinance .-eparaung
North Carolina from the Federal Government,
and Mr. Craigc, of Rowen, also offered an ordi

Administration while engaged ia punishing
the rebels for their infractions of the Consti
tution, to be careful to keep within the limits
prescribed ty it. It would ill become it, to
punish others for what it is doing itself. The
American people justly look on all infractions
of the Coabtitution either by those iu or out
of power, with a jealous eye, for it is the
charter of their right as freemen, and on its
preservation depends the security of those
rights. It is as eacred as the Union for with
out it there would be no Union.
We regret that in the discussion of this
subject, certain partisan Newspapers have
travelled eo far out of the record as to make
grossly personal attacks on the venerable
Chief Justice of the United States. He has
been styled a traitor," an old dotard."
and other equally degrading epithets have
been applied to him. As we would despise
the man who would make a coarse vulgar at
tack of this kind on President Lincoln, so also
we loath the men who seek to degrade an im
portant branch of the Government, by ma
ligning and villifying its chief officer. No
public man in the country h as a purer record
than Judge Taney, and now when standing
on the brink of the grave, full of years and
full of honors, what possible motive could he
have for doiDg wrong ? lie has always been
true to the Constitution and the Union. He
was the frieud and confidant of Gen. Jackson,
and felt the arm of that great man during tho
darkest period of his administration leu on
him for support. His patriotism as a man
and ability as a Judge are alike unquestiona
ble. If President Lincoln through some mis
take or oversight, directed Gen. Cadwallader
to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus in the district which he commands, it
is clearly his duty to reverse that order at
once.
The eternal flowers whose root is in the grave,

Loketto, June 3, 18GI.
Mk. Editok. Notwithstanding the war ex
citement, we still have some amusement in our
quiet village. Among which was a very inter
esting fishing party composed of a number of
the fair damsels and gallant beaux of "ye An
cient Village." that started out with the ex
pectation of spending a few hours by way of
drawing with hook and line the speckled
beauties out of our mountain streams, and hav
ing a pleasant time of it generally. About noon
we were all in readiness, waiting for 'Philip's
Omnibus" to come around. About 1 o'clock
the "buss', came, and we were soon seated com
fortably, and flying over the Plank Road at the
rate of 2,40; enjoying ourselves in the extreme.
In a few minutes we were safely landed at "Mc
Manamy's Dam," and immediately commenced
preparing ourselves for fishing. We soon began
fishing, and I found the fiah were plenty, and of
a nice size, for in a couple of hours I caught elev
en trout, varying in length from seven to eigh
teen iuchex, and about 4 o'clock we met togeth
ei and concluded to go home, when, in a short
time, we were safely back in Loretto with 103
trout. So euded the fishing party. . .
FISUFRMAN.
Our correspondent informs us how many trout
he caught himself, but fails to post us with re
gard to the success which attended the piscato
rial efforts of the ladies. It is true, the ladies,
as history sheweth, have in all ages been remar
kably successful in fishing for husbands, but
there is no instance on record of their bcinz
successful trout fishers. Will Sir. Fisherman
enlighten us on the subject ?

Mr. Editor : Being out on a pleasure excur

knowing how to spend the time to the best ad
vantage. I determined to pay a flying visit to
the different stores and shops in town.
I first visited M. Douglas, Esqr.'s store, and
found him busily engaged in waiting upon his
customers in good style. Mr. D. is a whole
souled man, and has a good assortment for a
country store, and sells at a low figure for cash.
His motto is small profits and quick sales."
Uedeserve8 well of the community. Messrs.
Nutter have a very large assortment of goods.
Mr. Trnffit, their gentlemanly and accommoda

able fellows to be met with ; ever ready "and
willing to wait upon his numerous customers, in
the most pleasiug manner. Messrs. Nutters are
engaged in the Shuck business, and have three
shops in town, giving employment to some kigh
teen or twenty hands. They are doing a large
business in this and Cearfield county.

'My Dear Father and Mother : The regiment
is ordered across the river to-night. We have
no means of knowing what reception we are to
meet witn. 1 am inclined to the opinion that
our entrance to the city of Alexandria will be
hotly contested, as I am just informed a large
lorce has arrived these to-day. Should this hap

injured in some manner. Whatever may hap

inthe discharge of a sacred duty; aid to-night
thinking over tho probabilities of the morrow,
and the occurrences of the past, I am perfectly
content to accept wh atever my fortune may be.
