Poor Vallandgham arrested in the night

Two great and hasty and noisy meetings
have been held one 10 New York, at which
Captain Rynders aud Others spoke, and
even the late Thomas II Seymour, of Con.
necticut, preached Iuughter, one at this
Capital, where his Excellency Governor
Seymour Administered by letter. The
Governor says this arrest is full of danger
TO our homes Who is in dangef in his
home, pray jeIl No one. unless be has
done something TO put himself in danger
'the pious thief and burglar, Gordon, of
Brooklyn, who attended conference aud
prayer meeting with the young ladies, dis
covered where they kept their jewelry,
aud then entered their houses and robbed
them 10y night, was long time in danger

III he night time, too, and arbitrarily ar.
rested hun and pa: him in prison, and the
Court seat btm tU State prison for twenty
years. All for stealing a few triukels.
Yet Governor Seymour says nothing -
Had he coGniyCd with rebellion for ,be
overthrow Of the ouly great Government
on earth, and he had Ueen dctec ei aud
arrested, i! would have been arbitrary.
But it in,erfetcd with freedom of speech.
How? who has objected to the freest pos
sIble discussion. Freedom OF speech does
not confer the right 10 go before on enemy
aud stimulate mutny and disobedience aud
recommend deSer,Iou. IL does not Justify
any Thing WHICH, III time of war, is ealcula
led aud intendcl 10 weaken the mIitar,
arm Of the Government. The Govpruo
complains that the GuSernors of The Yves
Tern states have suak INTO in,ignllicauct
IL IS certainly time to DO on the lookou
| hope whatever may become of othe
States, New York may not herself be i,
the same pitifu category. Laughter.
1t is certainly Illuminating position fo
the first State in the Uulon, when tht
scales of our being as nation are vbra

thousands in defence OF the Uuon, to
see the Chlef Magistrate turn from contem
