Chief Justice fancy, in conclu-
sion OF his protest and argument
in the late Merriman case, says;
And these great and fundamen,
tai laws, which Congress itself
can't suspend, have been disregard
ed and suspended like the writ OF
habeas corpus, by military order.
supported by force of arms. Such
is the case now before me, and |
can only say, that if the authority
which the constitution has conf
ded to the judicial officers, may
thus upon any preteNt or under
any circumstances be usurped by
the military power at its discretion,
the people of the United States are
no longer living under a govern
ment of laws, but every citizen
holds life, liberty, and property
at the will and pleasure of the
army officer in whose military dis
trict he may happen to be found.

Resolutions

Resolutions
We have been repeatedly NJ
queSted ;s again publish the reso-
buttons adopted by the meeting
held at the courthouse, ON Satur-
day, 5,h ut. In compliance with
the request, the resolutions are
her@o appended
The undersigned being appoint
Ell a committee to draft resolutions
beg leave to report the following:
WHEREAS, Owing TO the tenn
porary suspension of the courts,
and the withdrawal of many of
our citizens from their homes, ma
ny portions of the community are
left in a defenseless condition; and
whereas, certain lawlcss persons
taking advantage of the exigency
of the times, have already been
guilty of seizing without any au-
thority either civil or military,
the property of citizens, and 9TH
therwise committing gross o1fenses
against the peace and good or
J. der of society; and whereas, more.
depredations upon the property
and rights of citizens ARE to be
feared, unless some means be
adopted for the apprehension and
punishment of all offenders against
law and order, therefore,
Rceolged, That the county court
at their next meeting be requested
to. appoint ten persons from each
civil district as avigilance commit
tee, giving them the power to
elect one from their number as
chief and such other officers as
they may deem necessary, for the
maintenance of good order and
the apprehension of all disorderfy
persons; that such committee be
authorized, in the discharge Of
their duty, to call to their aid if
necessary any citizens or military
authority in the county.
Reso1ved, further, That it is the
sense OF this meeting that all the
resources of the country have beep
pledged to the subsistence of our
army, and the families Of our sol
diers.
Reso'ce}, That it would not on
iy be unpatriotic but highly Grim
inal to nisapply these resources
more particularly the breadStuffs,
in the distillation of ardent spirits.
Itssolre3, That after being in
formed that our military authori-
ties are using every effort 10 eX-
clude ardent spirits from the ranks,
and are furnishing the soldier for
using it as a beverage, no citizen
can manufacture it tor such pur-
pose, without. placing himself in
an.attitude Of rebellion to cur mil
itary authorities.
Rcsolced. That no citizen should
at this time manufacture ardent
spirits except by express contract
with the military authorities, and
then only for medical purposes,
and of a pure article, and furnished
at a moderate price-say 81 90 per
gallon.
ReSoIrecl, That no citizen should
sell his grain for diStillation at this
time.
Resolced, That all speculations
in army subsistence and the cur
rencyof the Confederate States
should be condemned by all high
minded, patriotic persons, and that
such spectators are real enemies
Of the country.
Resoteed, That the Fayetteville
Obsercer be requested to publish
the above resolutions.
