We have soma hope that the newly elected Governor Of
New York may make an issue with the Washington Auto
crat on the HabeEs Corpus question. Ferr andoWood says
Governor Seymour is not the man be takes him 10 De-
if be permits any citizen Of New York 10 be Arresssd,e x'
cept in accordance with the forms Of law. Undoubtedly
he has the right, and it is his duty, to ~intsrpose the
shield Of State authority in any such case. Seymour
knows this, and it must be with him only a matter Of nerve
Asd conscience. Lincoln began the war with the fake
preteres that be meant to enforce the lag. It would DC
ct and proper that he should encounter bis downfall

We call attea;iou to the statement he.os, assured
