Our contemporary has had hard time
IN his onslaught against the President for
arresting Northern traitors. Our Consti-
tuition expressly implies the right of ar
rest IN disregard of the Habeas Corpus
IN time Of war or invasion, and yet des.
perate effort has been made against it
And 1t seems that at last Stephens, Viet
President of the Confederate States,
secessionist in theory, traitor in act
has come to the help of our Northern
sympathizers. And cur cotemporary
with much eulogy Of this distinguished
traitor, publishes his letter in full and
commends it to his readers as a triumph
ant argument against the constitutionality
of the course of the Administration in ar
resting Mahony aud other Northern an,
Southern traitors.
While the traitor sheets Of the Soutl
are constantly quoting for the comfort {
their readers the sentiments of the sym
pathizing press of the North. it is proba
bly, no more than fair that the sympath
zing press should draw aid and eolnfol
from their "Southern brethren. An
this is only the first installment, and "
may expect, as our Northern treaso
prcpagandists grow holder, they wi
quote not only the Vice President bu
the President Of the Southern Confeder,
cy in justification Of secession and tret
son, and in abuse Of our Government an
of the people Of the North. Indeed o,
contemporary has drawn on them alread
pretty largely without acknowledgment
but now it seems that he has come to ii
conclusion that the authority of thr
names will add weight to his position
opposition to the action of our Cover
ment.

The Soldiers Vote.

against the right Of the soldiers to vote.
Ofcourse that traitor sheet regards it as
unconstitutional for men who are willing
to fight for the country to be allowed the
night to vote. With that stripe Of poll
ticians everything is unconstitutiona
which docs moi meet toe appreciation and
favor the interests of jeff. Davis and bis
myrrnidons.
AT first 'tcoercion" was unconstitu-
tional, then confscation, aud now eman.
clpatlon, all for the reason that these
measures have a tendency TO distress
traitors. aud interfere with their trca
sonable schemes for overthrowing tt,
