wNAyE ANm FOOL.

La our last issue, we accused Mr.. Lin
cola Of bsang cross between knavs and |
q fool, 10 which eur new abolition Co
temporary Of the NonpaTsil responds a.
follows:
ssOur venerable ootsmPoEaEy, in bis is |
sue Of yesterday, consumes whole col
umn and half Of his excellent Journal,
Notwithstanding the high price Of paper
TO prove that Old Abs Is a knavs and
feel says be il knave for causing the
arrest Of saeh msn "a Mahony, and q fool
for letting him 10 again. We agree with
yoa On the last point neighbeF; il aoss
seem rather hike the work Of fool, TO
turn > traitor loose again in the eommu-
atty, altar having him once safely Gag
sd.ss
Nos, we don'E know but We are confer
ring upon the new editor more credit than
be is really satitlsd 20, when We give it
a. cur opinion thai he IL about rs swell
brsd'' a. the President, and in tbs above
has given evidence that be belongs TO the
knave and fool ''strain.n a nan must
be either knawe or fool who will per
sist in calling men traitors, Who have
been taken and imprisoned for months,
and no one could be Sound 70 present an
accusation against thsra. He must be
fool If be did not see the 'spoiHs'' made
against the President, or he must bs
knavs If ha saw it, and misssatsd it.
| We said In effect the President waS q
knavs for causing the arrest Of Mesasrs.
MAHoxY and STEWARD, before any charges
had bean preferred against them. A fool,
for pretending to have their case investi :
gated, when be knst0 there was nothing TO
investigate, and q knave for requiring
them to obligate themselves under the
solemnisy OF an oath, not to prosecute the
q. s. Marshal for illegally arreating them
as the condition Of their release, after the
court appointed BY himsalf had honor~bly
acquitted them.
The court informed the prisoners that
''no charges had been preferred against
thsm," from which our nsighbOr will dis
cover, thai the President acted the knavs
and despot, in causing their arrest in vio~
lasion of article fourth Of the amendments
to the Constitution, which he had taken
q solemn oath to support, and which
rsads - follows:
"Ths right of the people to be secure
in their persons, houses, papers, and ef-
feess, against unreasonable se&rahes and
seizures, shall no& be violated, and no
warrants shall Issue, but upon probable
cause, supported by oath or affirmation,
and particularly describing the places to
be searched, and the persons or things to
be seized"
In the casas under consideration, il ap~
pears that shs President caused 9 warrant
to be issued, seithout "probable Cause, !"
and not supported BY oath or atirma-
sion." In short, that be caused the rights
and liberties Of thess persons TO be vioIas-
ed without any cause.
IL they were seized and dragged 70 pEis-
on for cause, will our neighbor Of the
Noaparsa inform Us for sohas eassss, they
we're arrested Ths court, it seems, did
not know why they were arrested, or If
the Judge did know, be refused 10 state it.
VIII the editor Of the AoHparsil inform
Us, WHISTLER shsy were arrested IS GRIMM.
sls, and If 80 for what csfme
We ask these questions, presenting from
the fact that the Lisatsn&nt Provost Mar
shal, and general recruiting olsesr for all
the armies Of the United States, stilI per-
sisss in>eaiiing them traitors, that hs 10
In possession Of evidence and fasss, which
wsre sishsr knavishly or fooliahly with
hela from the court which honorahly die
charged the prisoners. .-..
