The fugitive slaves belonging to the estate

custody Of Nr. Crawford, the receiver Of the
estate
New-York daily tribune., 1863-09-16

the public safety requires IT, ana IN pursuance
also of the act of Congress approved March 3,
1868, expressly empowering the President with
reference to the present Rebellion and during
its continuance to put in force the Constitutional
safeguard. In the opinion Of the President the
public safety requires that in the cases ofpersons
held under the military or naval authority of the
United States, or in their custody as prisoners
of war, or as spies, or as soldiers drafted
or enlisted, or as deserters, for Ofcnses under
the Enrolment act, the Habcas Corpus should
be suspended, and the writ denied. And the
President, therefore, suspends and denies the
writ in such cases throughout the United States,
and throughout the duration Of the Rebellion,
unless this Proclamation shall be sooner modi-
fled or revoked. Magistrates attorneys and all
other civil officers, as well as those in the
military and naval service, are required to take
distinct notice of this suspension, and give it
full effect, and all citizens are to govern them
selves accordingly.
No citizen of New-York needs to be told how
urgent was the necessity for some decisive ac-
ton on the part of the Government at this mo-
ment. Numbers of enlisted and drafted men
and Of dcserters have been daily discharged by
wrts of habeas corpus from State Courts, and
the prospect was presented that the Govern
ment would finally, by such means, lie de-
frauded of the services of thousands Of men, in
this city alone, to which it was rightiuLy en-
titled. Elsewhere the same process was going
on. The decision of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, denying to State Courts the
right to interfere in such cases, was defiantly
disregarded by these insubordinate tribunals,
and to such an extent that in order TO assert the
dignity and defend the prerogatives of that
Court. as well as TO secure the execution OF q
constitutional law essential TO the existence Of
the Republic, the President found il necessary
TO interpose his constitutional Executive power.
That he has done it reluctantly none who know
his reverence for all forms of law and all per-
sonal rights will doubt But he has deemed it
indispensable 10 the public welfare, and the
loyal North will not merely acquiesce in his de-
cision, but joyfuAy recognize in such an act one
other evidence Of his controlling purpose and
unalterablc resolve, at all hazards, and at any
cost, to save this imperied Republic.

TIE PREsIDENT's PROCLAMA'
TION.

Again, at a moment ofpublc peril, the strong
hand of the President steadies the helm. The
Republic is bcsot by conspirators plotting to
weaken It's armies. Foiled in attempts at open
violence they have resorted to insidlou' efforts
under cover Of the forms Of justice. Resistance
to the Enrolment act comes through the courts
The Habeas Corpus, which descended tous asthc
shield ofpersonal liberty is to-day, in the hands
Of traitors, the two-edgcd sword Of trcachery
and craft pointed at the heart Of the nation.
The President sezes it, and suspends it over
their heads. Courageously and wisely he re-
solves that the liberty Of the few, if need be,
shall be sacrificed for the moment, in order TO
preserve the liberty Of all for all time to come.
The Proclamation suspcnding the Habeas
Corpus is dated the 18th Of this present month,
and is issued in pursuance of that provision of
the Constitution which, in cases of rebellion or
invasion, permits the writ 10 be suspended when

almost distracted parents, although every effort
was made within their means, which are limited.
A short time before the boy was missed be was
playing in front of the house, and was told to come
in to dinner in half hour, which be promised to

The news from Charleston il very important
If true. Asteamer from Port Royal on satur-
day brings an account which processes TO have
been received by transport from Morris Island
on Friday evening, Ilth. That account repre-
sents the white flag flying over the shattered
walls of Fort Moultrie, and avors that our forces
had capfured half of james Island. Two inOnl-
tors are also reported lying between Sumter and
Moutre, and the very singular continuation oi
the whole is that the white flag was seen by the
captain of the Port Royal steamer still flying
over Moultric at four O'Clock on Saturday after
noon. Why il should have been kept IN the air
for twenty.four hours we are not informed. IL
is not clear for what purpose The Tort should
have hosted a white flag, except as prelmn-
arv % surrender, nor need il otherwise have
been noticed Pulaski raised it, but Gen. Gill
morc's batteries did not cease their fire I'll The
Rebel flag was hauled down. II, however, 1t
was for capitulation, Admiral Dahlgren would
hardly have permitted negotiations to be pro-
tracted for twenty-four hours.
IL is useless to speculate on such accounts.
If they have any basis in fact we shall hear
to-day or tomorrow directly from Charleston
harbor, or through Rebel sources. Gaining "A
foothold on James Island on Friday last seems
almost too speedy and brilliant success, even
for Gen. Gilmore. From Morris to james
Island is long step toward Charleston, aud 50
would be the reduction Of Moultre by the fleet,
for it would probably be followed by the en-
trance Of the iron-clsds into the inner harbor'
and an instant attack Oh the interior line of the
deienses Of Charleston.

cure the call OF Convention without agtafing
for it1 If you undertake to get rid Of Slavery
in any way, you will create an excitement, and
it would be a bad thing to have an excitement
about Slavery in the present state OF our affairs.
These being times of trouble, the Slavery ques-
ton should be buried to a calmer season; but if
this were a time Of quiet and security, it would
be pronounced very wrong to break 1t up by
an excitement about Slavery. FIX
it as you will, there will never be time when,
in the opinion of this Committee, it will be
proper to agitate for the overthrow OF Slavery.
The Committee say:
"Emancipationists and Shareholders stand shoulder
to shoulder in support Of the Government
of course, there are slaveholders-we think
it safe to use the pural-who do so stand; yet the
assertion is nevertheless a ialsehOOd. The slave
holders Of Maryland do not stand shoulder to
shoulder with their Union fellow-citzensi in sup
port of the Government; and this Messrs
Swami, Kennedy, & Co. well know. The vote
in '6l of the strongly slaveholding Counties
st. Mary's, Charles, &c.-Oyerwhelmingly
for the Secession candidates, tells the story.
Wherever in Maryland slaves are comparatively
few, there the People are almost unanimous for
the Union; where they are STEPPED in Slavery,
they sympathize with the Rebellion; and there
is no use in denying it. The official returns OF
their votes tell the story.
The Committee see fit TO say that
I'm this struggle for National existence, the MON
,,on of tLe STAT. OF MARYLAND were among The trsi TO
throw Themselves ato the breach and ready a. al
tinfs 10 accep as result Of the madness oi thcl u1
crn brethren the ruin which was everywhere showing
itself within her borders"
1t is most unwise to make such assertions,
provoking unpleasant and Improbable reminls'
cences. The Committee viyidly remember facts
in hagrant disproof Of these statements-thc
murder of unarmcd Massachusetts Volunteers
in the streets Of Baltimore, the cutting OF the
telegraph wires at that point, the burning OF the
railroad bridges on the lines connecting Wash
ington with the North, and the mission OF the
Young Christians of Baltimore to the White
House to bully President Lincoln into agreeing
that no more Volunteers should pass through
that State to the Potomac. Why compel Us TO
think of these things Is not the case against
Slavery strong enough without them :
On the whole, We have seldom read an cleo
,ionecring harangue more thoroughly disn-
eenuous and preyarcating than this Address.
II does not boldly meet the great issue OF the
day-it eyades and beiogs It. II the Committee
shall succeed in pcrsuading the People to ignore
the Slavery question, every vote recorded for
their candidates will be counted as a vote for
perpeiuatng Slavery-a vote against any meas
urc Of Emancipation. We pray the people to
bear this in mind.

will be slight and soon overcome; for majority
Of her people are not and never were seces-
sionists. She had hard work to get INTO the
Union. and has no real desire to get out again.
In 1859. the disloyal element by preconcert
seized her Democratic machinery and nomnat-
ed State ticket in the interest of SecesSion'
Old Sam Houston thercupon took the stump
against it as an Independent candidate lof
Governors; and though he labored un-
der the disability of having been Know
Nothing, whereby the Germans were set. against
him, though they are Frce-Labor and Uniohist
10 n man, he beat the Irregular" candidate,
Runnck, by 500 majority, while his Lieuten-
ant. Clark, beat his Irregular" competitor,
Lubbock, by 1888 majority. Gen. Andrew j.
Hamilton, running as an Independent Unionist,
was at the same time chosen to Congress from
the Western District over r. N. Waul, Greg
ular." Reagan, since Confederate Postmaster
General was chosen as Irregular" from the
Eastern District. 1t was a perfectly fair fight,
and the Disunionists, in spite of their disguise,
had the worst of it.
Honc, then, uas the State finally carried orer to
Secession
We answer, BY sheer, naked bullying. The
blackcgs, the duelists, the slave-traders, the
gentry who make an Ostentatious display OF re-
volvers and bowie-kniyes, or who carry them
concealed but ready for use, were nearly all in
secret league with the JEFF. Davis conspirators
further East, and had everything cut and dried
for prompt response to the signal rocket
thrown up by South Carolina. They bullied
Sam Houston into rcsigning the Governorshp,
called and carried Convention, voted their
State out of the Union, and enforced their pre-
determination by what was called apopuar vote.
But. while the foreordained Rebels all voted
and coerced thousands TO vote with who would
rather have voted against them, the great body
of the Unionists, believing that to vote as they
felt would only expose them to vengeance and
violence to nopurpose, staid away from thepolls.
We are only setting forth their excuse, not ac-
ccp,ng IT, There are counties which contained
ten Unionists to every Rebel, which, never
thelcss, gave Secession majority. Dearly have
they paid for it under the spur OF conscrlp'ions
taxations and every conceivable form of exac-
ton. ever since. More Of them have been Killed
in cold blood because Of their politics than all
the Rebels put to death otherwise than IN battle
Throughout the entire Union.
We hope soon to hear that Texas rcjocos IN
her restoration 20 the Union.
