of volunteers in bis county. And Re has often
expressed the sentiment that he would cheerfully
give all he was worth and even his life.
if those sacrifices would suppress the rebellion.
We believe the charge against DR.. Horror IS
malicious aud without any foundation in truth.
A prominent Republican in this city, who has
had occasion to examine the case and is cog
infant of all the circumstances, and who knows
the character of the testimony upon which he
was arrested, without any motive for making
the statement, said to US few days ago that
DR.. Horizon ought to be Internationally re-
leased.
The Journal states what is positively untrue
when it says that Sc demanded that the
court should abdicate its right of trial, and
Governor MORMON interfere unlawfully, in
case over which he had no power, and release
the accused" We said just the reverse. We
said the men now confined in the Government
bastile were denied the privileges and rights
accorded to the meanest criminals. We asked
that they might have a trial by the courts
that they might have the privilege of the writ of
habeas corpus 10 see whether there was evidence
sufficient to Justify their arrest and incarceration.
There is no evidence to justify the detention of
the prisoners now in the bastile, will shortly APP
pear We have not asked the release Of any of
these men if they have violated the laws of the
land, but otherwise said if they we're guilty they
should be punished. We have not demanded any
unlawful interference by the Government in their
behalf But as the Governor of the State We
claim he should have used his influence to secure
tect them from unjust imprisonment so far as be
could But the Journal is anxious exceedingly
anxious, to martyrize Governor MORroN. 1t
made the attempt once before, but signally fail
ed, as it will in the present instance The eli
tor of that print charged that he had evidence to
show conclusively that the unfortunate railroad
accident near Sullivan was the work Of the Dem
ocrats of that county, and that il premeditated
BY them for the purpose of killing Cover
nor MoRroN This charge was made in
plain and unequivocal language. He stated
most positively that he knew such was the
object in view and that the plot gotten up by
the political enemies of the Governor. The edi-
tor of the Journal was summoned before the
Grand Jury of Sullivan county to give the evi
cence he had to substantiate his charge, so that
the guilty parties might be indicted and punished.
He stated to the Jury that he had no such evi
dence--that he knew of no such design to make
way with the Governor-that it only edi-
toral article and that all his statements in refer
ence thereto were romance, all moonshine.
What confidence can he plead in any statement
which such paper may make? If it will lie in
one case it will lie in another. And it admits
that it did in its attempt to make a martyr of
Governor MORTON OUT of the Sullivan disaster.
Its statements in reference to DR. Horror are
entitled to no more credit than those il made in
reference to the Sullivan county Democrats, as
it will acknowledge hereafter if the testimony of
its editor goes through the same ordeal
