e The midnight arrest, or rather kid
mapping, of free American citizen in the
person of c. L. Vallandigham, has given a
fresh impetus, TO all that class of miserable
Snscreants, who never had any regard for the
constitution, the laws, the order OF civit soci-
ETY., or the rights Of private person or proper
ty. Though thinking, reasonable men of all
parties, and in all places, look upon such
acts as unwarrantable, III justifiabIe, and il.
legal; tending in their consequences to pro-
duce anarchy, which is worse, even than ty-
ranny itself: yet there is class, who gov
srned in all their feelings and actions by mar

more than jackall greediuess upon such acts
Of lawiessless, violence and Outrage, when

The accounts we & vo from our correspond.
ents and the western journals Of the scenes
attending the late meeting Of the Indisnspo--
Lis will be read with emotions Of profound
alarm and Indignation by all fair minded Re-
publcans as well as Democrats. The mali
cious proceedings Of Hascali, the military m-
trap in that district, were clearly intended
TO provoke collision with peaceful assem-
blage 80 as to give him an excuse for some
new out rage, bat as intent was happily
thwarted by the forhcarapcc Of the DeIno.

OF drunken soldiers, who was permitted TO
go about grossly insulting unoffendng people
as to create if possible general row
With Fare self-control the Democrats in at
tendance bore the insults without resenting
them on the spot. Foiled in this attempt,
1ascal next resorted TO the ingenious plan Of
stopping the railroad trains as tn, assem-
blage was dispensing and robbing the passsn-

failed to bring about the general scene sf
Of massacre he had evidently been instructed
TO inaugurate.
1t seems almost certain, from the course
the military authorities are pursuing in the

dent an excuse for declaring martial Law and
setting aside the civil power IN all the states
Of the North. That theory alone will ae-
