only had q constitutional right to utter,
but every word of which is as true as
the Holy Evangelists
! Il say friends and fellow citizens, that a
more corrupt adm tr;t' than that which
now governs us never was in the United

of Mr.. Lincoln
NJ. y. johnson Esq. and David
Sheean, of Galena were recently ar.
rested and taken to f. Lafayette charg-
ed with treason, their real crime being
the successful defence Of a gentleman
arrested and charged with treason, and
afterwards bringing suit for $4,000
damages against the party making the
complaint. Similar arrests are almost
daily being made in every loyal State
in the Union.

in letter to the State Press upon this
state Of things, says
'if there is loyalty enough in Iowa to fur
nish fifty Thousand volunteers to suppress this
wicked rebellion, there certainly must be
enough Of loyalty to pantsh traitors, and yet
the United States Mar hal. upon IT,, order Of
some one, assumes to arres. car citizens and
, transport them thOusa I'd miles out Of the
State, and they are to have trial Or not, as
somebody in Washington my decide. This
/ is Illegal, and is doing more to retard enlist
nents AMI to divide loyal men, than q thou

'Our forefathers rebeIed against Britain
and fought fox seven years among other rea-
sons because the British government assumed
the right oftransportng offenders across the
seas for trial
! And in the constitution they expressly pro
vised that 'thc trial ofall crimes except in
cases ofinlpeachment shall be by jury. and
such trial shall be held in the Aate where the
said crimes shall have been committed This
is a constitutional provision which the Presl-
dent and every subordnate has solemnly
sworn to regard and to deny any citizen his
/ rights under that sacred instrument is simply
usurpaton and tyranny.
1T is for those rights that u million Of II, en-
have rushed to battle. To preserve these rights
and to maintain our government, ~ cost or
sacrifice can be too great.
But while a natin is pouring out its hearts
blood and treasure in defence of this inst, u
mant, has not every citizen q right to demand
its protection
''For partisan Executive to assume the
exercise of the unlimited power of singing
out such persons IS it deans obnoxious to its
interests, and to transport them thousand
miles out of the State, granting Or refusing
them trial, at its pleasure, is an assumption
Of power more despotic than the Russian
