Nah Ouy's Discharge.

The Dubuque Times, a radical aboli.
tion sheet, denounces the arrest and dis
charge of Mahony as "stupid farce"
We always thought 50, but were de
nounced by some of the radicals as dis.
loyal for expressing such views before
the election. His arrest was not only a
stupid farce but gross outrage upon
the constitutional liberties OF the people
The following extract is from the
Times Of the 18th inst.
The Administration has pursued the
same course with Mahony and his a. so
ciates, arrested under charge of discour-
aging enlistments, that it did wi h Gen.
Jones and other State prisoners some
time since. We will not say that it is
the same policy, for there does not seem
to have been any policy about its course
in either case. The absurdity Of arrest
ing and inprisoning the editor of po.
litical paper for publishing reasonable
matter, and at the same time permitting
thc puDiCttloH vi Iuc paper " continue
in even more violent and reckless oppo-
sition TO the Government, is very appa-
rent. Either tho Herald should have
been suppressed, or Mahony should no,
have been arrested. AS to his treason,
he is not whit worse than Vallandig-
ham, Petit, John Van Buren,, Fernando
Wood, and score OF poisonous dema-
gogues who have been making an open
war Of word, against the Government
and rendering all tho moral aid and
comfort III their power to the rebels.
Every public advocate Of the rebel
lion, in the North, should be promptly
arrested and punished, and every treason
press should be silenced, or else the Ad
ministration should not notice their OPP
position. Such halfway measures arc
always failures. The Government sho'd
treat such domestic traitors with con-
tempt, or it should strike them dow n
with crushing and universal blow
Under the circumstances the discharge
OF Mahony is merely the end Of stu
pid farce.

rag CONSTITUTION A. IT Is.

TaE CONSTITUTION As IT -.
This has been the motto OF the con-
servative people Of the loyal States,
aimee the commencement OF the war,
and they have begged and implored
President Lincoln to remember, that be
had takcs solemn oath to support aud
maintain that magma chdrta Of the
Liberties Of the American people. The
opponen,s of Mr.. Lincoln ut the last
Presidential election, suspected bis 10y
alty. and feared that if once in power,
be woull carry ont the higher idW doc
trine that had formed the principal
plank in the platform OF the Republican
party since 1856, and abolition party,
(which at that time merged into the
Republican party since $40. All the
men and money he required were
promptly furnished, and the rebellion
would have been crushed months ago,
il the administration and It's advisers
had been true TO the Constitution and
the Union.
That "the Union as it was shall never
exit again." has been the rallying cry
OF the radicals since the commencement
of hostiities. No Union with slave
holders-and the New York tribune,
the mouth piece of the Administration,
months since said that ga Union wifh
siurery was not vorth prescribing" The
freedom OF speech has been suppressed
the freedom of the press denicd-the
writ Of habeas corpus suspended and
thousands OF loyal men arrested, who
have committed no crime, denied the
privilege Of trial before civil or military
tribunals, incarcerated in some govern
ment bastile during the pleasure OF the
executive. and then honorabiy discharg.
ed. Many of these outrages upon the
con .titu,ional Liberties Of the people have
been inflicted because the party in pow
or have been reminded that We have a
constitution that the people were anxi-
Gus to have recognized az the supreme
law of the land at homo and abroad.
1t remain. to be seen how long free
people will submit to these acts OF tyr
any and DIES potism. The plea Of mill
tary necessity will not excuse Mr.. LIN
coin, for had he been honest 10 the ex-
erclsc OF bis usurped power, and been
using il for the restoration Of the I Mon,
he would have long since brought to the
guilotna such men AS Owen Lo7ejoy,
Horace Greeley, Henry Ward Bee her,
Wendell Phillips and hosts of other,
who boldly declare they have been la.
boring for a dissolution Of the Union for
years.
We arc now as we have always been,
ready and willing to support the admin :
i.tration in all constitutional efforts to
put down the rebellion. We will give
the administration all the men and all
the money we have,to assist in restoring
the Union, and establishing the consti-
tution as the supreme law of the land,
and would only ask that while We are
attempting to force the rebels to obey
the constitution and laws, we obey them
ourselves, and see that the constitution.
al liberties of our own people are not
destroyed.
