The Constitution Of the United States carefully
provides that the right Of the people peaceahiy %
assemble and petition the Government shaa be in
violate. Pursuant % tins supposed right certain
persons have gone TO the needless trouble Of pet
tiouing Congress for peace measures. Il seems,
however, that haEing lost the rights OF habess cor
pus, OF safety in our persons, houses and papers
from arrest without warrant Of free speech and OF
the sanetity Of private correspondence, We have
also lost the right Of petition. Our Republican
gans contain the following
Certain traitors in this city are endesvoTing to
procure signatures to petitions asking Congress to
amend the Constitution so that Davis and his fei-

So that under terror Of being held TRAITORS
people prohibited frsm the right Of petition.
Is there any privilege guaranteed in our Constisu
ton which we have still permission to enjoy? II
So we would respectfully beg our Republican lords
and masters 20 inform u5 what il isf-Nel5 York
