The Question of Liberty

Oh Libertyl How many crimes are
committed in thy name, was the exclania>
tion of Madame ROLAND, as she asceodad
the steps of tho guiiiotIne. .sss
The Republican party was organized,
four years ago, 10 the name of Liberty
Free States, free soil. free press, free
speech, free suffrage" was its motto. Ii
held out vaguely the freedom and elevation
Of the black as Its ulterior object.
One Of its krst acts, however, WAS the
suppression OF MUNICIPAL LIBERTY,
by the creation o. Police Boards, for the
government Of cities, under the power aud
patronage of the State.
The death Of INSTITUTIONAL LIB
ERTY was proclaimed with the dactrine
of the ''irrepressible conflict ;" for it was
par. OF the theory that social and in6us-
trial systems Of the South must give way.
everywhere, 70 those Of the North.
When Mr.. Lincoln set out on his way to
Washington, be declared that STATE LIB
ERTIES. or what we are Accustomed to
call the Sovereignty of the States, were
nero nudity. Of no more consequence than
the rights Of counties. He has, by every
oct since his Inauguration, eadeayored to
carry out this doctrine
The partisan Congress, which he con-
trOIled took Immediate measures to hamper
the LIBERTY OF COMMERCE by the
restrictions Of an obstructive and 0ppres>
sive Tariff system.
The LIBERTY OF FINANCE, if we
may so call that emancipation from Bank
control aud paper mnuey influence, which
Gen. Jackson scared for US, has next fallen
under the malign influence.
THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS has
been suspended by the most stringent meas
ures-measures which no government has
ever before adopted.
The LIBERTY OF MOVEMENT, /. E i,
of iugress and egress, which was guaran-
teed by Magma Charta, has been oyerruled
to make way for passport system, jus; in
augurated, without the authority Of law, by
the Administrative.
INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. to which all
fires States have afforded ruarantees-such
as Uabea5 Corpas and right of Jury trial,
the privilege q bail. and the right 70 hear
and respond 70 aeeusations--has been aud
deuly withdrawn from our citizens, without
explanation or responsible authority.
There are two other elemental rights OF a
Republican people that are to be sacrificed
the right Of FREE ELECTIONS, which
j. to be suppressed by means of the politis
cal and military police, aud RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY.
And the fanatics who are guilty Of these
crimes while proiauihg the name of Lib
erty, afH - me same time pursuing pol
icy which vii permanently divide and de-
str0y the Union Of thaSa States.
81 we may cry, Ike Madame ROLAND.
"0hl Liberty, and oil. Uuiani what crimes
