for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have
the assistance of counsel for his defense"
And We utterly condemn and denounee the re
peated and gross violation by the Executive of
the United States of the said rights thus secured
by the Constitutions; and we also utterly repudi-
ate and condemn the monstrous dogma that in
time of war the Constitution is suspended, or its
powers in any respect enlarged beyond the letter
and true meaning Of that instrument.
Is. That we view with indignation and alarm
the illegal and unconstitutional seizure and i'm
prisonment, for alleged political offenses, of our
citizens without judicial process in States where
such process is unobstructed, but by the Execu-
tive order by telegraph or otherwise, and call
upon all who uphold the Union, the Constitution
and the laws, to unite with us in denouncing and
repelling such fragrant violation of the State and
Federal Constitutions and tyrannical infraction
of the rights and liberties of American citizens
and that the people of this State cannot safely
and will not submit to have the freedom oil
speech and freedom of the press, the two great
and essential bulwarks of civil liberty, put down
by unwarranted and despotic e~xertion of power

The Democratic State Mass Conven-

ton.
The proposed Mass Convention of the Democ
racy and conservative citizens of Indiana to be
held in this city ON Wednesday, The 30th of July,
promises to be the largest and most imposing ever
assembled within the State. The call is every
where favorably received, with the assurance that
it will meet with a favorable response from all
who desire to maintain the Constitution as it is
and to perpetuate the Union as it was. With
great pleasure we announce that the
Hon. JOHN J.. CRIrrESDEN, of Kentucky;
Hon. WIN. A. RICHARDSON, of Illinois;
Hon. JoHS S. CARLILE, U. S. Senator from
Western Virginia; and
Hon. CHARLES A. WIcKLIFFE, of Kentucky,
have accepted the invitation of the Central Com
mittee to be present and address the Convention.
Mr.. CRrrrENDES says "that nothing shall prevent
his attendance except some providential circum-
stance"
The Democracy of Indiana we know will tnrn
out en- mGsse to welcome these distinguished citi-
zens, whose devotion to the Constitution and the
Union and elevated and self Sacrificing patriotism
none can question.
Arrangements will be made by the committee
with the railroad companies leading into this
city to run half fare trains for the accommoda-
ton of all who may desire to attend.
We append the Hon. W. A. RIcHARDsoN's
letter of acceptance, who is known to the Democ-
racy of the nation as the life long and most init
mate friend of the late Senator DOUGLAS:
WASHINGTON, July 3, 1862.
J.. j. BINGHAM, Esq, SECRETARY. &o.-Dear
Sir: l am in receipt of yours OF the 2oth of j une
asking me to be present at a Mass Convention at
Indianapolis ON the 30th of this month. | accept
the invitation with pleasure. There are many
strong ties existing to bind me to the Democracy
of Indiana. / remember gratefully and shall
while / live the devotion with which their repre-
sentatives stood bymea at Charleston and Baltimore
in support of the great and lamented Douglas.
As they fought by my side then. so | am willing
to render them faithful service now.
Our battle is for the Constitution as our Faith
ers made it and for the Union born of that Con-
stitution, and if our great leader was alive to-day
his voice would be hetrd as in times gone by
cheering on the movement in which the "Democ-
Tacy and conservative citizens" of Indiana are
engaged.
Animated by this feeling and actuated by the
principles to which nv lite has been devoted, l
shall feel happy and hOnOred 70 meet and council
with the friends OF constitutional Government on

The army is bow resting on the hills on the
left bank of the james river. in a position much
easier defended than the one abandoned, and far
bettersfor the health Of the men. Tie line ex-
tends along the river from Harrison's Landing to
Curtis's Neck, above Turkey Island Bend. The
gunboats can sweep the tanks, and here the re-
mains of the noble army, whose perils and trials
and devoted heroism will command the admira-
ton of the world, can defend themselves until
their ranks are swelled by the uprising tide Of
patriotic feeling sufficiently TO enable them to act

Stewards argument of the case is plausible
and sound. others ask why has that gen
tleman waited until now before coming to
his conclusion If the arrest was ill egal,
they argue, the Government should not
have waited a moment for anv demand
from the English Government for the pris-
eners, but should have promptly turned
them loose and placed them under Brit
ish protection, dlsavowing the act of Com.
Wilkes On the other hand, if their ar
rest was legal then they ought not to have
been given up under any circumstances
There is general disposition to acquiesce
in the action of the Government, however,
and if what at one time looked as thaugh
1t would lead to rupture between the
two Governments is now set at rest. and
no difficulty transpires, it perhaps is better
that the matter should be disposed of as it
has been, particularly as it is done in
strict accordance with the doctrine for
which the United States have always con-
tended. The idea of backing down, or
being "blutfed' out of our rights by John
ny Bull Is no: palatable; and j: is to be
hoped that Mr.. Seward has succeeded in
leaving an impression on the minds of peo-
pie that his action in the premises has not
been caused by any defect in his making
up, by having only grstle where one ex-
