the poet over the stricken eagle:
"Keon were his paugs yet keener far to feel.

Drank the last ife-drop Of bis bleeding heart"
If the Union is stdhg to the heart, it must be
melancholy reflection that we have reared the
man to do it, and like the demeuted Lear, We
shall learn
mIEow sharper than serpens's tooth It's,
To have thankess child;'
that we have nourished and brought up child
reE, aud they have rebelled against the institu.
tions OF their couLtry. We have seen by the
action Of the Border Southern States that It
is not their intention to permit this Govern
ment t. be subverted. Every crime known Ia
the catal' ;ue Of depravity from treason TO lar
Ccny, has been committed in attempting 70

The habcas corpus-a hard kind of name
for n writ, but one which lawyer or Dutch
man finds lftilc difficulty in pronouncing-it is
said that the habcas corpus has been suspend
cI and abused. Well, / think il is because
some have written so much about IL, while
they kpcw so little. II simply means to have
l. IN
" imprisoned; and, in order that the case may.
be inquired into petition is presented to q
Judge, and then the Judge allows tho writ,
sad,the prisoner is brought up, and tho per.
son who holds himis bound to make a return.

orders him TO be discharged; i! rightfully i'm,
prisoned, he renands.. him. That ia oil there
is about it. 1t is simply a civil jErit Rat
there is an old maxim, rs old as Julius Caesar
would have been had he lived, inter drmd 81

midst of arms. Here is tlie questions: An
Individual is imprisoned here, some friend gets
a habeas corpus, and he is brought up, and
the case is inquired into. And whoever inter
flrcs with, or obstructs chat writ, is guilty Of
Of n great moral and legal wrong, and incurs >
a heavy penalty. In time Ofwar ii is O. difer.
