SIR:-The course pursued BY certain

In order to correct the evil, therefore, let
it be known that all such declarations by
the owners to their slaves will, by the
authorities here, be taken aud deemed
acts of voluntary emancipation, and slaves
sent away by their master, with such
declarations as you describe, or equiva-

Suspension OF the HAbcas Corpus
Tie recent arrest Of his compeer, Ma
hony, has filled the breast of our cotem
porsry With patriotic appreheasioas 70,
the safety of tie Constitution. The ar.
rest Of traitors, in the view of our co.
temporary, portsnds great peril to
the country. constitutional liberty is
endangered BY the effort Of the Admins.
tration to preserve the Constitution and
the Union. The exercise of the power to
suspend the writ of Aadeos corpus by the
Governpent is denounced by our cotem-
porary as unconstitutional and void.
Such sentiments are peculiar to the
ultra class Of Vallandighamners and Ma
honyites, but We have never known them
to be promulgated by politicians of un-
doubted loyalty. Its the Vallandishams,
the oldses, the Brights, the VOORHEES,,
the Mahonys and the Clags.,s, who have
the special guardianship of the Constitu-
ton Ia these latter days. The great men
and the undoub.ed patriots of the country
OF Oil parties are SO carried away By the
fanaticism Of saving the country, that the
business of hunting up the sechnicalities
OF constitutional law and strainiag them
into the support and defence Of traitors
has faiSen into the hands of small-beer
politicians and pettifoeging practitioners
OF Law of the sympathizing persuasion.
Mshony was arrested for preventing
eniissmsats. Clsgett denounces the ar
rest OF Aahony as unconstitutional and
void, and thereby encourages other sym
Pathizers to exercise their constitutional
rights in imitation of Mahony.
We warn our contemporary that his in
significance alone has hitherto been his
protection. He knows not how soon the
officers the law may make : swoop A.
ter some Of the "small fry"
We suppose there are some readers Of
eiagests paper just stupid enough to
suppose that Congress, the President, the
Cabinet and the Supreme Court Of the
United States are incapable of under
s'anding the clause Of the Constitution in
reference to the suspension Of the haIea,
corpus, and that Clagett is the only source
OF light and knowledge on the subject
Such delndcd creatures are liable to he
ied oy him into acts of opposition to the
Government, ii not into overt acts Of
treason.
All that Is said in the Constitution Of
the United States upon the subject Of
"ooeas corpus is found in the following
clause:
.Ihs privilege of the writ of Aobeo,
corpus ahall not be Suspended, unless when
10 cases Of rebellion or invasion the pub.
lie safety may require it,
The Government holds that proper
ease has arisen for the suspension of the
privilege Of the writ. But Cl.pett Who
Informs the public that he ..hss sa, IN
the Bench" is Of diferen. opin;on
That's all. II the Government vas nos
sessed q sufficient modesty, to consult
clagett aud follow his counsel il mich,
save itself an infinite deal OF trouble.

/ Rev Dir. HAGuR-"Nor' wester," ths
New York correspondent of .he Boston
Post, in recent letter makes the follow.
ing allusion to the resignation OF Rev. DR..
Hague:
The Baptist denomination, and the
Madison Avenue Church particularly,
have sustained loss of no common pro-
portions in the resignation by Rev. DR..
Hague of his pastorate in this city
Among the most popular Of our pulpit
orators, and perhaps second TO none as an
attractive speaker, in his own ecclesiasti-
cal connection, DR.. Hague has host of
friends who will regret 70 hear of the fail
ure of his health, which has rendered
compulsory the step he has taken. Par
alysis Of the brain is, / believe, the form
of disease under which his disability is
classed, and both study and preaching
have been forbidden him by his medical
advisers. How much ministerial cares,
and the peculiar perplexities of his posi-
ton as pastor of an embarrassed church,
have had to do with this early withd1 val
of 80 useful and efficient = minister, l
know not. But that he has abund ant
sympathy in his retirement there is evil
dence on every hand. We cannot afford
to lose such men.
