ism Of the BLACK Republican dynasty, that
nov rules the people Of the United States,
shah ne arrest al Des Moines, wishousJ
sven the form Of iaw or constitutional aa-
sAority, Of VIM. III. Hill. Mr.. Hill, some
tifns last spring wrote Iesles 10 an ed
isor friend ID Virginia, ID which be made
some very indiscress II nes dissosai re-
marks. The letter went to the dead let
ter ofaee, and from themes was returned
to MIR. Hill at Magnolia. Arriving u the
post ofkes during MF. Hills absence, .
clerk in bis oiioe spsned the letter and
made its contents pahlip through the
newspapers, From the remarks made in
the letter Mr.. Hill was suspected o. dis
loyalty to the Government, and bill Of
indictment vas found against him In the
o., 5. District Goart, and his trial was To-
hare come OF in tha earig part Of the
present month. Mr.. Hill attended court
prepared to make dafsnse against the
charge alleged against him but the q. s.
District Attorney, believing that the
charge ooald not be Sustained, that said
and comfossn could not be given hsenemy
In letter not received, entered 8 noIle
prossgas, in the case, and Hill was dis
charged. Thus the Legal proceedings
against Hill ended, but only 10 be follow
ed By illegal and unlawful prOceedings.-
About eleven O'Clock ss night, after HILLS
discharge, Marshal Hoxie arrested or in
other words kidnapped Hill and started
east with him. AsDavenport writ of
h4bsGs corpus was served On the Marshal,
which We understand hs refused TO an
swer or obey; and Was imprisoned By the
court for such refusal. But despotie
Black Republieanism had another food of
| desposisn to aid her in he's work Of OPP
preston. The sheriff Of Scott County, nj
or about the hour of midnight turned the
Marshal With Hill out Of jail and the kid
uappsF pursued has course eastward with
! Hill In custody. These are about the
facts az related to rs.
Where Hill has been taken, or what is
ss t ba 1esf he pe s5 q Id Eho~
that there was no legal authority for
Hills arrest-seeond, that the arrest was
made in direct violation of the Constitu-
ton and a@ws Of the United States. which
declares:
'sThe right of the people to be secure
in their persons. houses, papers and eff
feots, against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated, and no
! Warrants shall issue but upon probable
cause, supported by oath Dr. affirmation,
AMI particularly describing the place to
be searched and the person or things to
| be seized. "-Art. amendments C0Hss.
Ia violation of both, the letter and spir-
1t Of the Constitution-without warrant
or other legal process, Hill vas arrested
and conveyed beyond the Jurisdiction Of
the State by the Marshal Of the United
States, who has taken q solemn oath 10
support the Constitution, which he haI
violated and trampled undsEfoot in tbit
case. Was Hill accused Of any crime
Ii be was the Constitution declares
sin all criminal prosecutions the ae-
cused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and public trial, by an impartial jury oil
the State and District wherein the crime
shall have been committed auC
to be informed of the nature and ACCUSE,
ton against him. ="
The State of Iowa is Judicial Distric
and il Hill has committed any crime, b.
is entitled to a trial in this State or Dis
trict, but in violation Of the Constitution
he is kidnapped and carried beyond tn
jurisdiction Of the State Or district where
in the crime, If any, was committed.
But why do we cite Constitutions
rights and guarantees do We not know
4 do not the people know thai the Con
stitution with the Black Rapubli can dy
nasty has no more force than a piece o.
blank paper-rhas it's provisions are dali,
disregarded and the rights of the peopl
intended to be secured by H. are oVerrid
. dca and trampled under foot? Wb
write or talk about the Constitution whe
/ those who have taken solemn oath t,
support it, are in the daily habit of vic
lating both the Constitution and thei
, oaths? Despotism reigns throughout th
land. Written Constitutions and Law
are not respected. The law of might pre-
, walls, and the mere nod Of man or aSej
of the Telegraph, cousigns s free citizeI
to the Black Republican BRstile. How
! loag will this state Of things be tolerate
by the people, who love freedom aud ar
striving to maintain Constitution whicl
guarantees it to shems Must this stat
Of despotism be permitted to asurp AL th
constitutional rights of the paople9 ShaI
the Constitution and laws prevail, Or shal
the people, to secure themselves agains
unreasonable Seizures" be forced to be
come 'qaw unto themselves" and buck
ie about their loins revolver and Bowl
knife, to protect themselves from unau
thorized seizures by a band Of petty des
pots ?
I Let the press throughout the land de
q mand strict observation Of the Consti
: tuition. Let its motto be, THE OONSTI
, TUITION MUST BE PRESERVED AM
SHALL BE OBSERVED, by all, fror
the President down TO the most humble
| aud unpreteuding citizen.
