And yet the opponents of the present
Administration would be rejoiced if the
instruments of arbitrary power in 1861
would content themselves with rcsortuE
to the judicial tribunals ofthe land instead
OF initiating the arbitrary rule Of oriental
despotlsm. Mr.. Randall adds:
"And when we look at the cases and
decisions under our Sedition Law Of 1898,
we cannot fail to become at once convin-
ced that its aim and intent was not to
prevent or punish real sedtion-actual
open or secret Vaccinations against our
institutions and laws. It's manifest oh.
ject was to shield the Federal Govern
ment from damaging censure---to arm it
with power to put down opposition; in u
word, to confer on it authority during its
shorter personal tenure, about equivalent
to that then possessed and eXcI csed in
political affairs by the Government Of
Great Britain over the British realm"
And yet the attempt utterly failed. Be-
fore this reckless and infatuated policy,
the reaction came, Adams Administra
ton went down, his party perished, and

ures have now been hated and e&ecrated

at a distance Of about % miles from IRON

The Fcderals, oyerpowercd bY numbers,

PERSECUTION UNDER THE sGDIrroN LAW.

PERSECUTION UNDER THE sEDITloN LAW.
The Sedition Law proved somethigg be-
sides Il scarecrow. We will bring togeth.
er a few instances Of tIials under it during
Mr. Adams Administration. Matthew
Lyon, member of Congress, was selected
as the first victim He was an lrishman
by birth-a rough, energetic man, who did
not mince Phrases, and an extreme Dem
ocrat. He was Indicted for declaring. in a
letter published in Vermont paper that
with the Federal Executive every consid,

ed up in a continual grasp for power and
unbounded thirst for ridiculous pomp,
foolish adulation, and selfish Earce.' In

liberty and the Constitution by fast day
he said that the sacred name ofreligion"
had been used as a state engine to max e
mankind hate and persecute each other.
lie was charged also with reading and
commenting on at Democratic meeting,
during the congressional canvas, a priva 20
letter of Joel Barlow, written from France,
says that be was astoDished that the an
swer OF the House of Representatives TO
the Presidents speech bad not "been an
order to send him 10 the madhouse. -
This was his offence a sedltlous libel
tending to bring the President and his
Cabinet "into disrepute" And for this
he wac tried before Judge Patterson OF the
Supreme Court. They found him guilty,
end the Judge, after a severe reprimaud,
sentenced him to four months imprison-
ment and fine of $1,000. A petition,
signed by several thousand persons, was
sent to the President, asking Lyons re-
lease from n narrow, uncomfortable, and
it was alleged, filthy cell but Mr. Adams
refused, unless the prisoner signed the
petition, saying penitence before pardon.
Lyon declined TO sign and rem aimed in
prison. On the 4th OF July, 1910, forty.
one years afterwards, Congress refunded
to Lyons heirs the Sl,0O0 with interest
from February, 1899.
But while in prison his friends made up
lottery scheme of his property 10 raise

"Let no gentlemen aatter themselye,
that the iervor OF the moment can make

The people Of America, s.r, though watch,

as of the power add prosperity ef their

of their danger. Do not let us latterour
selves, then, that the measures will be un-

be told, sir, that we excite feryor against
foreign aggression only TO establish TYR
AMY AT HONE; that like the arch traitor,

ciples that would have disgraced the age
otGothlc barbarity, and established code,
compared TO which, the ordeal is wise,
and the trial by battle is merciful and
Just"
And yet for this brave defense of public
liberty, and Of freedom of sprech and of
the press, against the Sedition Laws, Liv-
ingslon was ridiculed and scoffed at in the
House, and denounced by the Federal
War Hawks, as Mr.. jefferson termed
them, all over the country as Jacobin'
and 'Traitor!' But time, the ayenger'
has long since made all right.
The penalties of the Sedition Law could
be readily sdjudged to extend to any
pithily written or spoken animadversion
on the political measures of Government !;
and we shall soon see whether any of the
powers with which it armed the President
were left dorman. in practice.
Some of the dominant party In Congress
appear to have been inhamed to the verge
of insanity, at this period by wild tales
trumpeted through the newspapers, of
threatened invasons, of the "Cannibal's
Progress, of United Irishmen," and of
conspiraciss between the Democrats and
French TO overthrow our Government,
which DR., Logan had gone to France at
Jelferson' request, to mature and set in
operation.
On the Goth of June, 1898, Lloyd, of Mas
ryland, had obtained leave to bring into
the Senate "a bill 10 define more particr
ularly the crime Of treason and punish the
crime Of sedition" 1t Immediately pas

or should utter anything tending to induce
belief that the Government Of the Uni
Siates, or any Of its officers, were inhuenc-
ed by motives hostile to the Constitution,
or to the liberties or happiness of the
people!
