c. l.. Valiau,ligham.

Our readers are familiar with the mill
tary arrest Of Mr.. Vallandigham, of Ohio
bis trial by Court Martial, his convict on
by it, &c. 1t is said be is to be or has
been sent to Fort Warren. The offence
charged is styled treason, n Vt because he
opposed any provision of the Cons titutio
or any lay, but because of his opposition
to "Milit ry policy" of the President.
II this be treason, and if the President can
thus direct the arrest Of any citizen, his
conviction and imprisonment, then civil
law and the jurisdiction of civil courts
have ceased TO be effective, and the Pres
dent OF the United States has absolute
power over the life and Liberty of every
man in the nation!
If the Republicans have found anything
in the speeches of Mr., Vallandigham which
is in opposition to the Constitution and the
laws enacted in pursuance thereof, or
against the principles oi liberty which all
American citizens profess to support, or
any justification Of thc rebellion, then they
have read those speeches with much more
care than we have. But if he is guilty Of
any crime or wrong, why could he not be
tried in the civil courts
The arrest and conviction Of a citizen
under the circumstances, has created i'm
mense excitement everywhere, as we'll as
much alarm, Gov Seymour in response
to an invitation to address an indignatioS
meeting held at Albany, used the follow.

1t bears upon its front conscious viola

and tyrannical Administration. From the
City Hall brilliant torchiight procession
winding in picturesque and striking beauty
down the fincly-sloping streets OF this
beautiful old city, escorted the General to
the steamer HenJrick Hudson, and he was
received, on reaching the dock, with the
roar of hundred guns and fresh display
of fireworks, amid which he was once
more taken from his carriage and lifted on
the popular wave to the very deck of the
steamer. The scene, at this moment, was
one to move the coolest or most prejudiced
heart. This extemporaneous homage, the
work oftwo or three hours, was tribute
far more eloquent than weeks Of elaborate
preparation could have made it 10 the hold
which General Mcclellan has acquired
upon the affections and tha respect of his
fellow countrymcn' 1t was interesting to
see how little OF political color the whole
demonstration wore. Here and there
sporadic shouts were heard ior "the next
President; ;"but the overwhelming burden
of the popular voice was hearty and con-
tinous clamor fer the General Of the
Army of the Potomac - Soldiers who
fairly fought for the privilege of kissing or
pressing the Generals hand called out
repeatedly, "Go back to the army, and
we'll all rc-cu,ist.' One man made his
way up to his old commander, and, turn
ing to the crowd, exclaimcds "Ivc bc,u
in the field two years, and In going home
to my wife ard children, but let Little
Mae say the word, and III 60 lack with
him to the Potomac Tonight
After the boat had once fairly moved
off, Tho was forced to round.,o again to
land a large number of enthusiastic citi-
zcnS who had entirely refused to pay any
attention TO the fact that they were being
carried off from their homes till after the
General had hidden hin self in the rcccssos
of his cabin.
General Mcclellan has seen as much of
his countrymen in STATE OF enthusiasm as
most people, but venture to say that this
impromptu reception at Albany will linger
in his memory as one of the most NOV ing
because one Of the most genuine and spon.
tancous incidents Of his public career
The petty malignity of many "Commit-
tees might well be forgiven and forgotten
by man who can read the verdict Of the
popular heart upon his character and his
services in such unbought fr,fdil-- al.

Dear Sir This morning was hand

perusing its columns, was highly graft
fed in finding the copy contained truth
and independence. Those are the papers
we wish to have sent TO us in the army.
We do not want any of the abolition o..
ganS, whose col umns are entirely devoted
to the pcrvcrson of Truth and Justice.
Give US the principles Of the Democratic
Party, give US the Constitution that Wash
ingtou upheld, and the Union as it was.
Let the abolitionists return to the Consti-
tuition, and the Democratic party will sup
port them.
When l entered the service, I thought
was to fight for the preservation OF the
UNION and tho CONSTITUTION, but found
| was badly fooled Instead of fighting
for the Union, have fought and bIed to
free the niggers.
Cling to your duty "Copperhoads of the
North" Cling to the Constitution, "Cop-
perheads of the West" Cling to the
name of MCCLELLAN, for 1864, and
all will yet bo well.

such military rulers as may be placed over
US, while our constitutional guarantees will
be broken down
Even now the Governors and courts OF
some of the great Western States have
sunk into nsignicance before despotic
powers claimed and exercised by military
men who have been sent into their borders
1t is fearful thing to increase the danger
which now over hangs as by treating the
law, the judiciary, and the State autbori-
ties with contempt. The people of this
country now wait with the deepest anxiety
the decisions Of the administration upon
these acts. Having given il generous
pupport in the conduct of the war, we
pause to see what kind Of government it is
for which we arc asked to pour out our
blood and our treasures. The action oil
the administration will determine in the
minds of more than one half Of the peo-
pie of the loyal States whether this war is
waged to put down rebellion at the South
or destroy free institutions at the North.
We lcok for its decision with the most
solemn solicitude.

entire strength of the army was not tested.
The usual estimate put upon Hooker's S
character was that he was headstrong,
and would sacrifice his last man to obtain
success. The late movement proves that
he, like other commanders, prefers a safe
retreat to doubtful battle 1t seems to

citizens of G columbia and Montour counties
convened in the Grove, near Lazarus
School House, on the county lines, and
organized by appointing JOSEPH MAusER

The meeting was severally addressed
by Levi L. Tate, of Bloomsbury; George

bell, of Danville Jer s. Sanders, of Ber-
wick; and Jesse c. zimmerman, of Dan
vile. 1t was meeting of great enthusi.
asm, and conducted upon the principles Of
free discussion, in which some Of the dis
tinguishing acts of this weak and wicked
Administration were thoroughly investi-
gated and condemned.
The Democracy of Columbia and Mon

ready for action. The old "Jackson
