These are rights guaranteed 10 the cit
ixsns Of the United States under the Con!
stisusion, aud notwithstanding the Pres
ident, his Cabinet, and all other officers
OF the Government have taken 9 solemn
oath TO support the Consultation, and
war isnow being Sagsd against the States
in rebellion. fer the sossansibls purpose
OF maintaining its supremacy, strange to
say, the above provisions of the Consti-
tuition are daily violated by these sworn
officers Of the Government. Il
We ask the eiti2eRs of Iowa, ie tAgy are
willing to submit TO sueh violations Of
their rights One Of the charges against
the EngIish Government, which pxodaced
the Revelation, was that, persons we're
arrested and conveyed beyond the seas for
trial" To avoid and prevent the exsr-
else Of like despotic authority on the
part Of cur Government, the trainers of
the Constitution wisely provided, that
persons accused of any crime shoala SEN
jog fAs rtsAt to speedy and public trial
~ asa isnpsytio! Jury Of the STATE and
DISTRICT Wherein the crime shall have
been committed" But these provisions
al the present time, afford no projections;
they are violated as deliberately and With
80 little computations of conscience on
the part Of their oath-bound violators, as
ii they had been interpolatsd into the |
charter of our liberties by a natural fool |
OF raving maniac. ..
0aths and constitutions are openly dis |
regarded whenever they stand In she way |
or in anywiss Interfere with the parsizan |
schemes or aespotic rule Of the present
party in power. The Governor is en-
powsreds (sG hs says) - arrest sash men
as he pIeasss, snd u9dsF this carte blanche
from tbs Var Department, he vents his
pslEsiesi spleen against sueh D Democrats |
