TIE ARREST OF THE MARYLAND LwslsLA-
TURK.
The President of the United States.
by his simple Eat, arrests the members
of the Police Commission Of the city of
Baltimore, and portion of the Legisla-
taFs Of Maryland, and from that time to
tbisB nov nearly twelve month, the
s0hlmunity have heard nothing Of them,
saws they are somewhere in the case
meats of some northern fortress. We
Wal remember the excitem snt in Europe,
shHn the King Of Naples, the Infamous
BeR5a seized q few young men of the
frss families engaged in plotting against
hIsishrone, by his military guard, and
tasnddred them 10 those dungeons in the
Fock-of thst State fortress, which is the
oaiy gloomy thing upon the bright waters
OF tn beautiful bay Of Naples. The
Hintary guard, without warning, With
cat accusation, surrendered their houses
al the midnight hour, and they were torn
Eu ideniy from all the luxurious comforts
Of splendid hUmss, TO be buried alive in
th"ss prison houses, SWEET With the dews
of dungeon danp," sunk far beneath the
waters of the Msditerrauean. They were
suspected Of hostility to the Government,
&ni of organizing u rebellion. Their
offenea had this extent, no more. 4 cry Of
horror went ap from almost every nation
In Europe. HsEiAad demonstrated through
che manly appesi of the indignant Glad
stone. France raised her voice III dcuun-
eiasioa Of the outrage, while Republican
Alaeriea shuddered, as she thanked God
that no such Outrage could ever stain her
aI.slOnal escutcheon! We professed TO
know then what liberty was worth, and
as We sent cheering words TO the regeuer-
ators of Italy, No told them, ''it is worth
all yoar struggles, all your sacrifices, ev-
cry drop Of your blood" The ven
geance of an oppressed people soon rose
to vindicate the race and punish the op-
pressor. In vain were her dungeons fll-
cd aad houses left desolate. The bright
dream Of Hlia libeTa remained, the
scattered mama, upon which the conceal
ed enthusiasm of q whole people fed
itself and to-day Naples is redeemed
and disenthralied. The Bourboa has beer
expelled, and the Peoples King rules in
has stead,
No man can shut bis eyes to such acts
of arbitrary power, as have been done In
our midst during the last four months
And all this pretended to be doHe under
Constitution of limited powers, ant
where it was once our boat, that one de-
paFtment was q check upon another, ant
where we supposed that the Executive
was but the administrator, of the laws
the servant Of the laws, the montbpieot
of the laws Ne wonder this Philadei
phia imitasor of the eringiug, supple
kheed, Sergeant Ashley, OF the Firs
'ThAfie's reign, should be 30 afraid Of thl
president Of English analogies, Ii Wa
tie preparation Of just such outrages a
ws have alluded TO, that Iod The nnfartu'
nate Stuart TO the block. Certainly
when TIE power is claimed for the Exec
utivH to authorize such abnormal acts a
these, thera is terrible merging of al
The powers Of the State in one depart
mant. Absolute power in England i
placed in the hands OF those who franz
the laws, because the power Of its Par
tamche Is transcendent, omnipoEent.-
But to give the power IL the English SOY
eraign, that Mr, Binngy contends rests il
tbs American Executive, would create
| Ereyolutioa there in forty ight hours, L
this country, we all supposed that th
| people 10 the aggregate Constituted ia
| seseTeignty, with no Limitation of it
lpusser But its own win, and 10 traste
batits own appointed; but according :
Mf. Binney. we have an authority /
onr Executive, who scars far ahpya this
