ISail in 31 Hilary Ancsls.
ZMr. IVepident, the bill before the Sen
ate is a bill providing for bail in certain
cases of military arrests. My friend from
Kentucky proposes an amendment to it
providing that the person so arrested shall
betaken immediately before a judge. It
is an amendment designed to secure tfie
personal liberty of the citizen. I shall
vote for it ; but I shall vote for it with
some hesitation, simply because it seems
to recognize by implication the validity of
the am st. If this was a bill to authorize
any man not engaged in the military or
naval service of the United Slates who
was arrested to shoot down upon the in
stant the man that should attempt to ar
rest him it would do my soul good to vote
for it ; because of all the outrages that
have ever been pcrpet rated in this country
upon the rights of free American citizens,
oi all the violations of the Constitution of
1 he United States, of all the violations of j
the principles of civil liberty, of all the
crimes that have gone up from earth to j
heaven to invoke the vengeance of Al
mighty God. this crime of arbitrarily and
without due process of law arresting quiet,
peaceable citizens and dragging them from
their homes is the greatest. Sir, I mean
to speak w hat I feel. I would welcome
any thunderbolt, whether it came from
heaven or from lull, that should strike to
the earth any power which, in violation
of the chartered rights of the American j
people, should attempt such an cxercir-e j
of arbitrary power. I
Mr. IVi si. lent, it m.-.v bo considered by '
some that the huigiinire I use is strong
that the feeling I inaiiifor-t i- unreasonable: i
but I happen to live in that ur.f rtu:,ate J
section of the country where tlier-e things i
are of !aily oecurrer.ee. Mr. 'a!landi
iiam, who h:; been referred to, was a
distingui.-hed niember of the 1 Vir.oci atic
! party, a politician known to the country,
i :ind when he was arrested it created reat
J excitement throughout the land. I,i the
piiet little village where I rcsi de such
i things happen idrnost daily. I have known
I as many as four in a day carried off: nut
; inloriued f the cliare against them ;
i (ii;i;.-ed fiom their families and their
1 boiiics : not allowed a hearing and by
i th order of j-out (iineral Schenck, or
; Skunk. whicbeer is most applicable to
; Il,s Hiarnrtt r, banished lvyond th- hues.
I 'have had the voting w ite come to my
house and with tears in her eyes a-k me
whether anything could he done, am thing
could be said, to call back her young hus
b:uid to take care of his infant children.
I have witnessed such scenes for the last
two vcars. They are men in the humble,
quiet walks of life, rind the attention of
tlie country is not called to their cases;
but when a distinguished gentleman like
Mr. Yallandigham was arrested great
meetings were called and great indigna
tion expressed. It is just that those meet
ings should be called, and that indignation
should be expressed: but, sir, the people
of this country know nothing from
such cases of the barbarous tyrranny of
this Administration. Y hen :i man of
elevated position is dragged from his home
thev know it : but hundreds and thous
ands of people in the quiet walks of life
are dragged from their families and homes
and the country know nothing of it. Sir,
if the tears shed by the faithful and de
voted wives and Hie worse than orphaned
children in this country who have suffered
from the oppression ot this Administra
tion could be bottjed up as witnesses in
that great and final day when a just
judgment shall be rendered against men
for the iniquities done in life, they would
be piled mountain high upon the heads of
Abraham Lincoln and his unconstitutional
advisers.
Go with nie to my own State, and I
will take you to one single neighborhood
where almost one third of the inhabitants
have been dragged from their homes, not
localise they have ever raised an arm
against this Government, not because they
have ever resisted the execution of any
Federal law, but because they were po
litically obnoxious to the party in power ;
and the sculf and scum of creation, men
whom gentlemen would not admit into
their kitchens, have the commissions of
provost marshals to go into gentlemen's
bouses and drag them oft to Iteltimore
before a General Schenck, who, not by
any authority of the Constitution of the
United States, is to sit in judgment upon
those men and decide whether they shall
live peaceably and quietly in their homes
where they have been in the habit of liv
ing, and where their fathers have' lived,
or whether they shall be banished to a
hostile shore.
Jtfr. President, I do not mean to say
anything offensive to anybody ; neither
d" I niepn to ray anything unbecoming
my position as a ruc-mber of this body ;
but I thank God that Clement L. Yal
landigham has returned to the United
States. I clipped out of a newspaper the
order for his banishment, which was by
telegraph. Great God' a free American
citizen, living under a country the people
inhabiting which ure secured in their
lights by a fundamental charter, a charter
which secures trial by jury and freedom
from arrest except by due process of law ;
a citizen of such a country as that ar
rested by telegraph, a telegraphic dL-patch
from the seat of the emperor at the other
end of the avenue, stating, ' You w ill
send him beyond your lines, and if he re
turns within the lines, then you will ar
rest him and keep in confinement during
the term of his sentence !'' Now, sir,
let them execute it. lie has returned,
thank God. The issue is made: the issue
will Le met. I know that two orders
have been made at least I am very well
informed of that fact ; I do not know it :
I was not present for his arrest ; but I
am informed on the same authority that
u Z , i , "r 1
hej ne recked. I am also informed i
hat a m, a. officer has been here from ;
)hio tor the last .several iL-ive u-miinrr
they
th
Ulno tor tne last several davs waiting
hour by hour the command of the man
who sits cnthroed at the other end of the
avenue.
Sir. I invoke not ti e spirit of revolu
tion. I want jieace : and hence on all
occasions when questions of this charac
ter have come before the body I have al
ways advocated a legal, peaceful remedy.
I have invoked Senators from the begin
ning ot this contest to give us the prolec-
nun oi law ; ior 11 inn unnappv war
shall continue I want to see it confined to
its resent location. I do not want to see
civil strife in the adhering States ; and
hence upon all occasions have invoked the
interposition of this bo y to preserve us
from outrages that mi'jht lend to unfortu-
n-il.i .-,!!, ! in !.,. .i,I
collisions in the adhering S'afes. 1
so et n upon 1 1iv subject of military
do! V
iut'-rfcrt nee with elections a right .--cured
to us by the fundamental charter of
our liberties, a right dear to frecnun, and
a right which nobody but a tyrant de
spises. I'.ut even our appeal for the free
exercise of the ballot has been disregard
ed. We have invoked you upon all oc
casion to give us I gal security for our
ri
tits. Wenfk no pnvilegcs tor our-
-elves that we d

Vbraha m Lincoln, the man of all other

two years have had no free exercise of,
the elec tive franchise. Y'ou have enjoyed
it ; people not living in our States have
enjoyed it when they came into our j
States; convicted felons have enjoyed it ; j
but we, simply because we arc f"10- i
crats, are not allowed it. Uy the lit ip of i
Almighty God we will be allowed to do
it hereafter; and I now advertise the i
vartv in power, as an numoi
is an humble manner oi
1
the Democratic parly, wo will have the
freedom of election and freedom from ar-
rest unless by ttue process ol law, peace
ably if we can; but, by the eternal gods !
if we cannot get it peaceably we will have
it forccabIyr ; and you may make the most
of it, if that be treason. We have sub
mitted just as long as we intend to sub
mit. I say this not to offend anybody ; I say
it not in the spirit of bravado ; but I say
it in the cool, calm, deliberate determina
tion of a man who is a member of" a
party of like sentiments with himself.
When the convention meets at Chicago
one plank in its platform will be " free
dom from arbitrary arrests ;" to which
everv man. in my judgement, will pledge
his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor,
in the same spirit that his fathers pledged
themselves in the revolutionary nines m
the assertion of their right of independ
ence. CrThe Washington correspondent of :
some of the Kepubiican papers state that
since the Hlairs have got Chase out of the ,
Cabinet they have now turned the r bat-
i.anii,ei, im-j-
t cries on
Stanton : and t here is a likeli -
hood that that very peremptory and scat
ter-brained personage may also be com- i
polled to walk the plank. In view ot
what is every day occurring, and in order
to bring alxuit unity in the happy family,
it would not be a bad idea for the Presi
dent to get rid of his present cabinet, and
install in tlicir places the Blair family.
Thev have clearly become a Kwer behind
the throne crreatcr thn tho tlirone itself.
