,Esas arrests bat il il has been SO, it has been
lscaas., of the manner of these arrests, aud
the manner III which the men arrested have
been discharged, the failure to give them an
q examination, and to make public the causes of
the sfFests. These are the reasons why the
clsmor has been made. l know that iu the
canvass in our own State, and gentlemen
from Iodana and Pennsylvania and New York
,iy ~ nae that these arrests, sometimes made
IN secret for frivolous and unimporiant matter,
sometimes for foolish ana bad lauguage, some
fines for good cause, have been made the oc-
c4sion of eloquent defamation.

these pretended wrongs has sy,nrathized with

know very well that they cannot appeal to the
toarts, because the very attempt to appeal 10
the Courts might create an armed controversy
tetWeen State and National authority.
