habeGs corpus in arres ing private citizens and n
ating them in oastiies, issuing the proclamation Of eman-
ojpaio1 and in otherinst noes usurping power, has vio-
lated the Consultation, infriaged upon State sovereignty,
and disregsr ed the popular wish Its perversiou Of he

eoncuTs IN their views sud sympathizes in their senti-
meuts, and viii represent them in his official action.
We think bette of tue Northwestern people than Of
tn down east thugs They are in many respects q bet
ter and different race Of people. They have more eour-
age, more diyiduaiiy and are further removed from
the hnck-tering spirit which pervades and dsgrsdes the
Yankee nation We suspect they say what thew mean,
and viii do wha, they say. If oar estimate Of them be
correct, THIS demonstration in Illinois is not a mere emp
ty parade OF woods. We may ex sect a siUiar demon
stration IN indiana. wh=re the hetrei Of the Yankee
government al Wash ngton il even more intense than IN
Uiin-is
Apart from the superior character Of the people, we
are inclined 20 look for resi- results in that quarter, from
the fact that they have interests vere different from.
and satagpnistc 20, those of the East "a Yankees
Their commercial relations are naturally with the South,
and they are S. much damaged By high protective iariffs
sswe are. We presume they contema ate their future
yassaiage to the Yankees with no particular pleasure.
Tho vast debt, which has been created in the prosecu-
ton Of this war, viii fsl with uamitgs-ed severity upon
than. The Eastern Yankees will take care to make
that debt = source Of profit to themselves, Just as they
have made the war itselE.
The Determined spirit Of resistance exhibited in the
Northwestern States may have the effect Of s-ineuing
the backbone Of fine d~tsafeeted in New York and we
10 not consider il at all improbable that we may wit
ness lively times in YaDkeedOm before many months.
