Judge Taney-RepubIican Party Going
to Hang Democrats
We this week commence Judge
Taney's decision in the Merryman
Habeas Corpus case, we ask tor it a
careful perusal from every man, who
wishes to think, act and vote accord
ing to dictates Of an honest judgment,
we will conclude it next week.
This writ is the greatest writ Of Ameri'
can Liberty under our Constitution
Cease to maintain this writ, and our
liberties are gone. The establish
ment and maintainence of this writ has
cost more blood and treasrs in Europe
and America, than all the wars Of the
nineteenth century. This writ was
never before suspended by the Presi.
dent, or Executive or Military De.
partments Of our Government. Have
we not just cause Of alarm.
The last jackson Standard comes
out with a recommendation, that
Judge Taney "shOuld he hung up like
a dog" Some Of the Republicans up
street in our town, we are informed,
stated last Saturday we ought to be
hung for issuing our last paper. We
are told 7. A. Martin has so said, and
that other Democrats deserve hang.
ing. We don't wish to miSreprosut any
man in our community, and if we are
wrong informed, will be happy to cor
rect. We will merely state that we
will have a Grand Jury here next
Court, at which time Republicans
who do make these foolish threats,
can prefer their charges, as they are
Union loving men, it is thei, duty to
prefer the charge, if we should be
deserving such punishment. This Is
a time we should all Try to ascertain
the truth, and all pull together, the
day in our opinion is not far distant
when there will be draft on Ohio,
when these men will all be required
to fight together To protect your own
hearth stones, in our own State. II
this should be 80, why in God s name
will these Republicans inaugurate
civil war before it is necessary. Hang.
ing is a thing cannot be done in peace
outside of an order of our courts. Do
you want the war to commence here
now, or is it your object, to destroy
all the efforts now being made by
good and true men and patriots, to
unite us in a military point of view.
The following is the base and out.
rageous attack made on Judge TaneY,
by the Standard, the man who would,
at this time, thus encourage spirit
of mobism upon our courts, must be
possessed of the heart Of a demon, and
in our private opinion, is a fit subject
for Hells hottest corner. Yet we
would not have the writer mobbed;
we would give him time to repent oi
his sins, and to live for the contempt
and scorn of all honest men and pat
riots. We copy:
"We are sorry 10 see in some Of our
Exchanges an attempt to justify Judge
Taney in his effort to rescue a traitor
from the hands OF the military power,
by a prostitution Of the writ Of ha5eaS
corpus. That there is 6 provision in
the Constitution of the United States
for suspending the writ in just such
an emergency as the present, cannot
be denied. But, we hold further, that
no traitor Judge must be permitted to
rescue his brothers in treason, even it
the Constitution must be disregarded
in so doing. Those who are endeav-
oring to subvert the Constitution, have
no rights under it which the Govern.
ment is bound to respect; and if there
is any further interference OH the part
Of Judge Taney to aid the rebellion,
he should be hung up like dog. 1t
is abCdt time that this old tyrant was
"wiped out. ."--.Stanaard:
