finally, which declares that " in all crimi

the right to a speedv an impartial trial
by jury of the State and'district wherein
the crime shall have been committed,
which district sluill have been previously
ascertained by law, and to be informed of
the nature and cause of accusation, to be
confronted with the witnesses against him,
to have compulsory process for obtaining
witnesses in his favor, and to have the
assistance of counsel for his defence :'
Ami alnrais, If the words uttered by
M r. Vallandiiihani had been the most of
fensive to which expression could be
given, they would form not the slightest
pretext nor afford the least palliation for
the tin nstiious crime which in his person
has Ixvn committed against the liberties
of us all ;
And irlterea., In fact, and according to
the well established, long dccerolcd and
commendable habit in these United States
of free discusion of olitieal questions,
what he uttered was neither in itself un
ljecoming nor was it an abuse of the'free
dom of speech, nor would the speaker in
any manner have been liable to punish
ment for it according to the severest code
ad.nini.-tcivd in the courts of justice :
And tr 'area, The measur. s of au
thority must Ik- subject to the freest dis-
cussion, for discussion is nothing if not
free, and if men's mouths may be. opened
only to praise and flatter nmcr, and are
to bo closi-d when jiower is ofil 11 led, dis
cussion is but a name, and liberty is a '
sliadow: j
And rr,T,,;.- This abuse of authority j
is justified under the plea of a tniliUtnj
tnit&oft which is 110 just 1 heat ion, for the
same plea would justify any indignity
which could be ottered us ; and as it
served to exile Mr. Vallandifihani would
serve to turn both Houses of Congress out
of doors, to imprison tli judges, to sus
jend the legitimate erformance of every
regular function of the State, and resolve
all the authority into the keeping of one
man:
And trtrrrti, if mifitioy nrrct&iti can in
vad ; the borders of Ohio, and there uproot
the laws of a State whose soil is pressed
by the foot of no public enemy; whvse
peojJe are time and faithful to the Con
stitution, and whose justice was quietly
and unobstructedly administered till mili- ;
tary power cxjulleil it, the same necessity j
may march on, and, coming into Ucnn- j
sylvania and other States of the Union, j
nil need us to a vassalage infinitely more
intolerable than that against which we ;
revolted when we declared our iiidcpend
ence the 4th duly, 177G; therefore,
firsoh-ed, 1, That the arrest and ban- j
ishnient of Mr. Vallaudigham is a violence ;
to which the people, of the United States !
will not and ought not to submit. I
2. That the remedy for it is in the j
ballot box. at the coining and now rapid-
ly approaching election, when, by the j
votes of an outraged jicop'e, State author!- j
ty will le restored to the hands of the j
Democratic partj", who will use their j
power, thus quietly and constitutionally ;
obtained, to protect State rights, to rebuke j
and check Federal usurpation, to secure j
the personal immunity of individuals and j
commence tuc reconsi ruction oi me
Union.
3. That as it is, if not our firm belief,
at least our strong suspicion, tliat the de
sign of the authorities at Washington, is,
by military aggression to provoke a popu
lar out-break, and thus to furnish to
themselves an aiwlogy for further invasion
of our liberties, and, if possible, to enable j
them to encumber us in the exercise ot 1
our elective franchise, we exhort our fel- j
low-citizens everywhere to patience and
to tliat forbearance and noble calmness
which becomes a people who, knowing
their rights, know, also, the means for
their peaceful vindication.
4. Tliat, there being no such punish
ment known to the laws of the United
States as that of exile, it is the sense of
this meeting that it is the right of Mr.
Vallandigham, and it will be the like j
riTht of any other citizen,upon whom there
should be attempted to be inflicted by
like tyranny a like unlawful and infamous
punishment, to return tortiiwmi, noiwun- i
standing his mock sentence, to the State j
of which he is a citizen, and there resume
his place among those who are laboring
for the regeneration of the Constitution
and the reconstruction of the Union.

man worthy to be, at a great crisis, the
Chief Magistrate of a great State.
6. That as it Ls only to the ballot-box
we can look for permanent relief, and as
we deem it to be altogether incredible and
impossible that when called to cast their
votes, the citizens of Pennsylvania, of
whatever party, should not find them-'
selves, bv such monstrous events as has
been passing before their eyes, moved in
patriotic and just indignation to drive from
power all 1 "ennsyl vania politicians who stand
in the way of our asserting the freedom of
our persons amitlie rights of our State, we
will, therefore, wait with confidence the
October election to the Democratic
partj- the party of conservatism as well
as freedom a Governor and both houses
of the Legislature; and whom we expect
to bring in by such overwhelming majori
ties as may be reasonably reckoned on,
when the question comes fairly up be
tween Liberty and the Constitution on one
side, mid on the other the most ignomin-.
ous oppression.
Freedom of Speech and or Ibe
I,ress.'
(From the Indiana' Democrat.)
'e who have passed all our lives in a
free country, can scarcely realize the vast
importance of those guarantees of individ
ual and public liberty, freedom of speech
and of the press. . In our brief national
history, there have been so few occasions
for their exercise, so few really vital po
litical crisis, testing the power of endu
rance of our institutions in the fiery fur
nace of trial, that we have h;ul 110 fair
chance to judge of their essential worth.
And in all probability we never shall fully
realize it, until, as in the case of other
blessings, we have Usen deprived of them.
Give me an unfettered press," said Sher
idan, the great lSritish statesman, "and
1 defy 3'ou to encroach one hair's breadth
upon the liberties of the people." Said
Junius, whose unanswerable arguments in
favor of liberty shook thrones and made
kings tremble, " Ix?t it lie impressed upon
your minds and instilled into your children
that Liberty of the Press is the pnladium
of all the civil, jiolitical and religious
rights of freemen." And said our great
Webster : " It is the ancient and undoubt
ed perogative of the jicople to canvass
public measures and the merits of public
men. It is a home-bred right, a fireside
privilege. It is not to be drawn into
controversy. It is as undoubted as the
right of breathing the air or walking on
the earth. This high constitutional pri
vilege I shall defend and exercise, within
this house, and in all places ; in time of
peae, and at all times." It was an im
plicit belief that sacred truths which in
duced the fathers of the Kepublic to de
clare that. " Congress shall make no law
abiidging freedom of sp"ecli or of the
press ; and that the " right of the peo
ple to be secure in their persons,- houses,
papers and effects from unreasonable
searches and seizures, shall not be viola
ted." And it was the same spirit the
frarnsrs of the Constitution of Pennsjd
vania declared :
" That the printing presses shall be
free to every person who undertakes to
examine the proceedings of the Legisla
ture or any branch of Government; and
no law shall ever be made to restrain the
right thereof. The free communication
of thoughts and opinions is one of the
invaluable rights of man ; and every citi
zen may freely speak, write an print upon
any subject, being responsible for the
abuse of that liberty."
And also,
" Tliat the citizens have the right, in a
tcaceful manner, to assemble together for
their common good, and to apply to those
invested with the powers of government
the redress of grievances, or other proper
purposes, by petition, address or remon
strance." Verily this " freedom of speech and of
the press," which has been to ably defen
ded and carefully guarded by the greatest
statesmen of the two most liberal govern
ments in the world, must be something
tangible and practicable, something essen
tial to the very existence of liberty. And
yet it is one of the saddest signs of times
that there is a fatal disposition to assail
and abridge it. The Washington corres
pondent of the New York Herald tells us
tliat :
" A large party of leading Union Lea
guers of Philadelphia he:uled by Morton
M'MichacI and ox-Mayor Gilpin, arrived
here to-day. Senators Wade and Chan
dler and Col. Forney are their guests. It
is supposed that steps are to be initiated
whereby home forces shall be organized,
DlsRIBUr AUKK w THE
I under
loyal demonstrations and organizations in
the'VNorth.' Philadelphia has already
moral in this 'matter.". ;
'And the Ilarrisburg Ttlegrriplt, one of
the chief organs of the Republican -party,
and one of the most incendiary, danger-r
ous and Jacobinical papers in the country,
comments on this news in the following
language :
" We sincerely hope that the example
of the loyal men in Philadelphia, will be
emulated by the people all over the Com
monwealth and bv every loyal State in the
Union. Let it bo plainly understood,
that the organization is practically inten
ded to put down treason in the loyal
States. If it is right to pursue and shoot
a traitor in the rebellious States, it is also
right to visit the same punishment on the
stune . devils in the loyal States. . Let us
organize, then, everywhere. Let us show
to the government that it will be sustain
ed and strengthened. Let us prove, too,
to traitors that they will be resisted and
put down."
Iy "disloyal demonstrations and or
ganizations in the North," these Union
Leaguers mean to designate the Demo
cratic party. It i a free expression of
opinion on the part of Democrats which
is to be "resisted and put down," by
these " home forces." Were this spirit
of mob violence the only danger which
threatened our liberties, that danger would
be slight indeed ; for the great body of the
people are conservative, patriotic and law
abiding, and would frown down all vio
lence and lawlessness. 15ut there is an
other source of danger. Freedom of
speech and of the press finds its Worst
enemy in arbitrary power. The two can
never exist together; the one must tri
umph and the other fall; and over the
grave of the fallen is always written that
old Koraan epitaph: " Ue I'ictie woe
to the conquered."
A certain Brigadier General Ilaskall,
in Indiana, issues an order that all politi
cal discussion, in his department must
cease forthwith. And General IJumside
tells the people that : " It behooves the
public men and the public press to lie
careful what they say. The must not
use license and plead that they are exer
cising liberty. In this department it ctui
not be done. I shall use all the power
I have to break down such license." A
gain : " The press and public men, in a
great emergency like the present, should
avoid the use of party epithets and bitter
invectives. The simple name 'patriot'
and 'traitor are comprehensive enough."
In accordance with these views a public
speaker is arrested, for remarks, made at
a public meeting, which proved to lie
nothing more than a criticism of the poli
cy of the party in pcover; is tried and
found guilty by a military court ; and, an
nounced, is scntoriccd to two years im
prisonment in Fort Warren. . 'Jliis was
done in the Stale of Ohio, whose Con
stitution provides that "the right of trial
by jury shall be inviolate;" and "That
no power of suspending the laws shall be
exercised, unless by the legislature ," and
" that all criminal prosecutions the ac
cused hath a right to a speedy public trial
by an impartial jury of the county or
district in which the offence shall have
been committed." Here the issue is
plainly and directly made. It will have
to be fairly met both by the people and
by the rulers. Leaving questions of
jiolicy and expediency out of the way,
has Gen. liurnside, or any other man
tlte jmreY to set aside, at his pleasure the
Constitution and laws of a sovereign
State, one of the United States of Amer
ica, one not " in rebellion," nor " in" a
state of war," nor even i disloral ?" If
he has no such legal ower, can the peo
ple yield to these encroachments and till
maintain their liberty ? Is not the sup- j

Wliy the War Should be Stopped.
I From the N. Y. Frseman's Journal.
Within two or three weeks it has hap
pened that evidences have accumulated
in our hands of, a different state of feeling
at the South from what we had anticipa
ted. We had come almost to accept the
chaff and fustian of the Bohemians of the
Richmond press the pantalooued bipeds
at the South who stay at home and taOc
war, instead of going and fighting it out
like gentlemen are doing we had almost
taken it for granted that this newspaer
vaporing was the universal sentiment of
the Southern people. Within two weeks
letters have come to us, and we have per
sonally met more than one or two who
have fought with heart and soul in the
Confederate army. Wc have lecn start
led to find how much reason Vallandigham
had Tor saying that it might not yet be too
late to reconstruct a political Union be
tween North and South, if the fighting
could only be stopped for a while.

as in the amiy North, the overpowering
desire is for any Itonwxihle jtcuee !

a minority, of the men of influence in the

enough to see that, in a disrupted coun

that the old glorious Union affordetL

are wishing, as wc wish, for an indefinite
tostponement of further hostilities. They
say that, while they will wecr vield to
coercion, they have not forgotten the
glories, or the happiness, of our common
past. The ranting secession, eternal sepa
ration fellows of the Southern press, are,
like the ranting, no-uuion-with-slavcry
fellows of the Northern press mere wind
bags irriting not fighting little fight in
them On each side, these; fellows are of
J no account. Every month, every doy of
j hostilities, is increasing the difficulties, and
diminishing the hopes, of those true pa
triots of the South, as.of the. North.
There are, in reason, and in the con
struclion of these States, lately united,
potent, and major reasons, for wine re
union. It can, oven yet, be brought
about. But, it cannof he by any unau
thorized and monstrous agreement for
separation, on the part of the u?urp'atiou
that calls itself the Federal Government.
It has no constitutional power to do any
thing: of the kind, any more than it has i
to carry on this unconstitutional war. I
The solution must be referred to the seve

especially to that end. One plan the
true plan, is to be in no hurry about call
ing such a Convention of States, but to be
in a great hurry to stop the horrible
butchery, on both sides, and the horrible
stealings and other outrages that have
rendered the Federal armies a stench in

j Gen. liurnside, having succeeded in his
attack on the Hon. Clement L. Vallan
digham, is continuing his successful as
saults ou the liberty of speech and of the
press. He has just given orders to sup

have gone to court, praying for an injunc
tion to restrain the officer charged with
the execution of Gen. Burnside's order,
and it remains to be seen whether the
civil or the military authority will prevail
in the State of Illinois.
We ask, is it possible, after the indig
nation which the arbitrary arrest, trial by
court-martial, and banishment of the Hon.
Clement L. Vallandigham has produced
througltout the length and breadth of the
land, that General Burnside should im
prove on his military despotism, by coit
iiscating the property of citizens without
accusing them of a crime or trying them
by a jury of their country ? The sup
pression of a newspaper . is nothing else
than the confiscation of the nronertv of
the

sand dollars.

proceeding against a man, commencing
with his execution, and interfering with
the most sacred rights guaranteed to tho
citizen by the laws and institutions of the
country. Has our country, we would
ask, sunk so low in everything appertain
ing to tin advanced civilization, as to bo
in a situation to learn moderation and for
bearance from the Turks?
The last arrivals from Europe brought
us the news that the editor of a French
journal, published at Alexandria, re
ceived a first warning from the Govern
ment of the W, conveyed to Lim
through the medium of his Consul, tliat
he must not indulge in attacks on the Ma
hometan religion, and especially abstain
from anything personally offensive to the
lYophet. This was gentle, compared
with the proceedings of General Burnside
against the Chicago Times; but, then, the
French editor has the advantage of exer
cising his profession in the dominion of
the Grand Turk. Truly, Father Abra
ham is great, and Burnside 19 his general !
