Among che Black Republican newspa-

which yielded such perfect assent 70 the
course pursasd By the Administration 10
making unauthorized and illegal arrests,
than this same New York HERALD. Ii
was the Herald thai pahlished list call

iished in the United staaes,p and the
grounds upon which the Herald pronounc-
ed them secession, were their opposition
10 the unauthorized suspension Of the writ
Of Aabeas corpus, ahd the illegal arrests
made BY order of the President; but so
soon as a change Is made and the idea of
making arrests upon warrants issaed with

doned, the Herald, true to the only prinai.
pie ever acted upon by t--ssaiheTeock-
ism, veers around With the popular breeze,
and pronounces the masteEa 'EfRrce, !" and
announce to the world With seeming
exaltation, that ''Neither she Secretary of
State nor the Secretary of War can make
arbitrary arrests hereafter in the loyal
States. The Constitution and the lag
are to be the rule" 4 more subservient
and syeophantie tool Of the Administra-
sien eoald not be found in the whole land

has the unparalleled sfrontery to speak
in condemnation Of the practice Of max
ing " arbitrary arrests in the loyal States, y
and to announce that the ssConstitution
and Law are to be the ruls," with as much
seeming sxalsssion if as he had always
been opposed 20 thiu Arbitrary exercise
of power.
So it 10, the great guns, one by one,
who have advocated the making of these
arbitrary arrests" are being spiked By
the Constitution and Law, I" and they are
now beiehing forth their Eoars Of appliance
for the very principle that zoe advocated
nine months ago, ami for the advocacy Of
which the Bfs9le was placed in the list Of
secession papers published in the Northern
States. Since the Tribuas, Herald, Poss
Hertd and other leading papers in Nsw
YORK have been converted to the doctrine
Of the Constitution and laws As soe hare
preached it, We have reason to rejoice,
and shall not weary in so doing. Since
the true Democracy-the men who con
tend for the supremacy of the Constisa-
ton and laws over the arbitrary will OF
the President and his Cabinet, have TN
amphsd by the Presidents surrender
Of arbitrary power claimed and az
erased By him, And aines the above nam
et papers have hauled down their 'high-
sr Law" flag and come over to the Denoc-
racy on thus Poiut, Vt suppose that the
cry Of seeessionist viii be considered as
"played oats and thAs hereafter ali will
be regarded as good f'Union mea,7 who
contend that in the administration Of the
Government, sThe ConssiIstioa and the
latns are 10 be the rale."
