require it.' Yilis is precisely our present case
--if caseof rebellion wherein the pulic safety
does require the Suspension. Indeed, arrests
by process of courts and arrests in cases ofre !.
fbellion, do not proceed altogether upon the
same basis. The former is directed at the
small per centage of ordinary and continuous
preparation of crime; while the latter is d.
rected at sudden and extensive uprisings
against the Government, which at most, viii
succeed or fail IN no great length of tine. In
the latter case, arrests are made, uot so much
for what has been done as for what probably
would be done. The latter is more for the
preventive and less for the vindictive than
the former In such cases, the purposes of
men are much more easily understood than
in cases of ordinary crimes. The man who
stands by and says rothing when the peril of
this Government is discussed cannot b. mis-
understood If not hndered, he is sure to
help the enemy: much more if he talks am
! iguously-talks for his country with "buts'
and ifS'' and ands" OF how little value
