in defence of their rights if the South will itself
become united, and, when united act in concert
with that Northern party who give the strongest
and most reliable guarantees to the South. Can
this be done? We believe it can. To aid in doing
it, the American Telegraph" !" will take an active
part in the next Presidential election. 1t will
urge the South to unite upon the republican basis
of '9s, and to send in good faith, full and able
representation to the Baltimore Convention, un-
der belief that the Democracy of the North
will unite with them in the nomination of candi-
dates entitled to their confidence and support !;
and who if elected, will exert the power and in
fuence Of the federal government to protect the
rights and property of the South.
That the people may act understandingly, we
invite full and candid investigation of tho merits
and qualifications of those who may be presented
as candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency. As the nominations, if properly made,
will receive the support of the republican party,
this examination of the merits Of candidates
must be made before the meeting of the conven-
ton; and that the Telegraph" may give more
efficient aid in that discussion, we propose to
issue a weekly super-royal sheet, in quarto, at
the reduced price Of one dollar per annum. This
weekly paper will become valuable book of ref
erence. containing the facts and arguments re-
latng to the Presidential election, and much other
political and general intelligence, with carefully
prepared index

quested to act as agents.

We wish you also to state what is the present
current price of your shares, what rate of divi
dend does your company now pay, and what divi
dend could you pay under contract such as we
propose.

and seen despotism trumphing in Naples, Sicily
and Rome, while the gallant Hungarians have
only been aided by her newspapers and letter
writer's. Abroad she has either aided, or quietly
looked on, while the people were crushed undei
the iron rule Of military despotism; and at hom,
she has forced millions OF lrishmen TO abandon
their country, in order to escape the bayonets o.
her soldiers, the bludgeons Of her armies o.
police officers, or the grippe of famine. In Eng
land, every yestge of freedom has been de-
stroyed by " the crown and government security
bills" by which the habeas corpus has been indie.
finitely repealed, and the peaceful assembling Of
the people, to petition for u redress of grev.
ances, prohibited under the severest penalties
These two rights, which were the great palladi-
um of all the liberties ever enjoyed by English
men, are at this moment completely in allegiance;
and any subject of England may now be taken
under warrant from the Secretary of State,
and imprisoned at pleasure, without ever being
brought to trial or having an opportunity OF
proving his innocence. So also, under the same
acts, a military squadron, or band of police
officers may, at pleasure, dispense, and imprison,
if they please, any halfdozen or more or less
persons, who may be talking politics together
This is English freedom of which we hear SO
much, and these the glorious rights of English
men to which the poor ignorant masses Of Europe
look at with such admiration. There never was
time when Englshmen possessed any rights
but what they derived from their ancestors, aud
of which they could not be at any time Invested
by simple act Of Parliament In any great
parliamentary debate on question involving
the prerogatives of the King or the rights of the
people, is not decided by reason and argu-
ment butby precedent, as if there were not ten
bad presidents to one good one in the history
ofevery nation. The question is only, is there
any precedent? Did our ancestors enjoy this
privilege, or the King exercise this prerogative
This is the great, the only point and nothing can
ever be conceded to the people but what is con-
clusively proved to have been " the ancient un
doubted right of Englishmen" They have no
Constitution but great bundle of presidents,
and are governed not by the living but the dead
This is the great champion of human rights with
which the United States are called on to unite
