Of the deputy postmaster whose conduct was
under review, give the case his personal atten-

matter. % one of constitutions law. having been
referred by the Postmaster General Of that date,
the Hon. James Campbell. to the Attorney Gen.
ersl Of the United Ststes chen the Hon Caleb
Gushing, that learned jurist delivered an elabo-

to suppress the circulation of all printed matter

What the doctrine laid down by Mr.. Cushing
was, may be read in the following extract: i
with these premises, We have the main
question very much simpliied It is this: Has
citizen of one Of the United States plenary
indisputable right to employ the functions and
the officers Of the Union as the means of ena-
bling him to produce insurrection In other of
ion lawfully lend its functions to the citizens Of
one of the States for tho purpose of prompting
instruction in another State? isas "a ii
Taking the last Of these questions FIRST, it is
obvious to say, that, inasmucb as il il the consti
tutional obligation of the United States To nro
tect each of the States against domestic VIC.
lence," and to make provision TO .ssupnress in
surrections," it cannot be the right Of the Uni.
ted States, or of any of its officers. and of course
it cannot be their duty, to promote. or be the
instrumeut of nromotinp. ;nanrrecs;nn in .rv
part of the United States. :. - :
As to the frat question likewise Il aeems nh.
yious to saw. that AZ incarceration IN anv ono n
the States Is violation of Law not onlv 40 f.r
regards that State itself but slso A regards the
United States. therefore NO citizen Of eha I'm.
ion can lawfully incite incarceration IN .ny ono or
the States. Even "a hct fore;or Gnvs.n.
