The seizure and transportation of Mr.. Graves
beyond the limits, of this State for Imprisonment,
and all without the least regard to State Govern
ment and laws is just such an act as the President
of the Northern Government has been perpetrating
ever since the begun. 1t is purely despotic, and
has been so denounced by all persons in the South,
who regard these acts of President Lincoln as so
many evidences of the destruction OF civil liberty
in the Northern States. If, indeed, they are so to
be regarded then both sections are in like danger
Of losing that precious inheritance purchased at
the cost of much blood and handed down through
many years of watchful guarding by our fathers of
the two last centuries Our State Legislature and
many people in other Southern States, look upon
such proceedings with much dissatisfaction, and
sooner or later, will certainly vndicate their Con-
sttutional rights the only danger being that they
may yield to the plea of military necessity" until
it shall be TOO late to arrest the evil except great
COST
9 In the case of Mr.. Graves, Gov. Vance ordered
the Confederate officer with his prisoner, to be ar
rested and detained in Raleigh in order to have the
case investigated But the parties had passed out
of the State before the officer charged with the duty
could execute it. What steps will now be taken by
the Governor remains to be seen.-SdIis6ury
