only that, but that error must ylelo 10
truth.
As regards the haJoas corpus, know of
three cases Of its suspension. First, by
Washington which was sustained by che
civil authorities. The next, by Jackson,
in this case the writ was issued by Judge
Fromentin for the body of ex-governor
Callava, and was sustained by the Monroe
Executive without division, and by Con-
aress. The third instance was also by
jackson at New Orleans, when all civil
law was suspended, for which, he was
fined. But after years of reflection the
fine with interest was refunded to him,
thereby acknowledging, that he had been
wrongod. The suspension of the writ, at
Baltimore, has also been sustained, by
President Lincoln and by Congress. Now,
surely, the above cases, in which the sus-
pension of the writ has been sustained is
good Democratic authority and sustained
by johnson, Dickinson, Holt and host
of others. Does Mr.. Township live in
one of the back townships! | think he
does, and claims to be a Democratic
looks to me as though he might be mis-
taken, for Democrats endorec the senti-
ments Of j Johnson Dickinson and Holt.
AS to the Press, l am in favor of giving
it all its constitutional rights, which do not
confer on it the right to lie or advocate
treason. Why was it that his leaders said
nothing about the freedom of the Press,
when Clay was driven FROM Kentucky,
and the Press itself from Kansas, and in
fact muzzied in all the Slave States which
were ruled by the Oligarchyl If this
proves anything it proves that they are
with the Jeff. Davis party.
1 did say that the Chicago Platform
was State rights Platform, which is true.
, Can Mr.. Township deny the fact =! And
, l say also that it is the creed of the Re-
, publican Party, and not what isolated
persons may have said who voted with
them. lie quotes what some Republicans
, have said, and then assumes these remarks
as the Platform of the Republican Party
Suppose should quote the sayings o.
= Brooks, Gaulding ana other prominent
: members Of his party, (Which | will if th'
G discussion continues,) where would hi
y Party stand, judged by his own mode o
$ reasoning? Mr.. Township would pu
them on ground that do not wish t.
mention, at present. The Republican vote
! though not large in the States of kentuck.
/. and Maryland, is still too large to be ms
e taken for the number of delegates referet
It to, being 365s.
