Resisting the COmscriptiOu.

Accounts from various sources show thak
in several parts Of the country, forcib.e re-
sistsnce is icing made to the enrolment and
and other preliminary proceedings Of the
coming conscripron. In some instances the
enrolling officers have been fired upon aud
killed, and in others, different modes OF OBJ
struction and annoyance have been adopted,
equally embarrassing to the agents Of the
Government and damaging TO the parties
concerned. Under the circumstances, we
feel that it is duty which we owe, not only
to ourselves. but o.the public, to mark with
our reprobation these sea andelous outrages.---
We do not approve OF these lorcible demon.
stra atoms against the acts or resolutions of
the Administration. We condemn and ds-
plors them as strongly as any oil its friends.
We do not believe this is the way to redress
grievances. We are convinced that nothing
desirable can be gained by them; and that,
on the contrary, II persisted in, they will be
the occasion OF disrepute, and perhaps of pun.
isment, to those who embark, and also of
undeserved suffering to innocent persons.
30 long as the ballot box is free, the Courts
are open, Judiciary exhibits spirit Of inde.
pendence, and legal processes are unobstruc>
ted, the people must be law abiding. They
must consult no other methed of address,
1t is true that there are always and in ell
parties short sighted. turbulent and uneasy
men, who are unwilling to await tho slow
evolutions OF legal and constitutional remedy
and who want to resort to force to cut every
knot which, with their defective skill and in
tuence, they are unable to unite; but these
are exceptions. As long as there is Law and
constitution and binding precedent, the peo-
pie will adhere TO them; and 1t is only when
! they feel or fear that these are discarded and
trampled upon by power Tor its own purposes

have been deprived of them in that
manner? There is no higher crime
that can be committed than in depri-
wing citizen of his guaranteed rights.
1t is blow aimed at all of the people.
Mr.. Brough talks about the large
discretionary powers in the hands of
the rulers of the land in such cases.
There are no large discretionary pow-
CTS in Republic or in free govern
ment, for if there we're, it would be q
despotism. We have a written Con>
stitution, carefully defining all the
powers of the rulers, and they have
no authority or discretion in any case
for their exerci sing any powers not
granted to them. When they do that
their acts are just as illegal, and can
be as lawfully resisted as the act of a
mob. They are only our rulers within
the sphere of the Constitution. Mr..
Brough quotes with approval, the old
maxim of the most degenerate age of
Roman despotism, that the laws are
silent in the presence of arms! We
have not been in the presence of arms
in Ohio! Why then should the law be
silent? Because war is going on in
the South, is that a reason why the
law should be silent in New England
and in Ohio, where profound peace
and quietude reigns? We have never
seen more shallow and pitiable apol-
ogy for usurpation of power, for de-
priving the citizen of his liberty, than
is contained in Mr.. Brough's address.

The St. Louis Republican, an indie
pendent war paper, in its issue of the
18th inst, has the following notice of
John Brough. Itsays:
"This gentleman is, somewhat un-
expectedly, brought forward as a suit
able Republican candidate for Govern
or of Ohio. He was familiarly known
in this quarter some years ago, having
distinguished himself by his connection
with the Mississippi and Atlantic Rail
road, projected to connect st. Louis
with Terre Haute. At public meet
ing held in St. Louis in 1854 he assu-
red his hearers that this road should
be completed and in running order in
one year. The road Immediately took
his name, the 'Brough Road, yet from
some motive which remains still unex-
planned, and to the surprise and dis
may of the Western stockholders, he
abandoned his post as President of the
road before the year was up, and the
work remains unfinished, and the mo-
tive for his detection unexplained, to
this day. Were this promised honor
in any degree dependent upon Illinois
or Missouri voters, we might hope to
have this mystery cleared up; but it is
certainly an amusing fact, if, indeed,
it may prove to be a veritable one, that
this same gentleman, now put forward
as an exceedingly suitable person for
Governor of Ohio, has been considered
for the last twelve or fifteen years, a
RESIDENT OF THE STATE OF INDIANA.
There is not the least harm in all this,
yet the eintelligent Republicans of Ohio
can scarcely fail to ask if no more sui
table timber may be found to fill the
chair of State in their name"

John BrOush on Arbitrary AR
rests.


John Brough, the Republican can
didate for Governor, in his Marietta
speech on June 10, said, by way Of
apology for illegal and arbitrary ar
rests:
"But you have another ebjecti onto
this war, and that is this matter Of
the arbitrary arrest of some men who
have not boen content with thinking
treason, but have been talking it ra.
ther loud. There's been about half a
dozen men taken down to Fort Lafay-
ette-perhaps there is one in Dixie
now. Laughter.] You say these
men have been arbitrarily taken with>
out warrant in the Constitution. Some
legal mouser has sat down and count
ed it over, and has not found anything
to justify it. He has found that they
never expected any such state Of things,
and therefore there was nothing put
into the Constitution to meet it!- Trea-
son shall consist Of one overt act
talking is. not an overt act. We must
not forget that the fundamental prin-
ciple of allgovernments on earth pla-
ces a large discretionary power in the
hands of the rulers of the land for ca
ses of this kind. The old legal max
i'm is, that the laws are silent in the
presence Of arms. You have very
little cause to complain here-if you
had been down South I think you
would have had much more" sJ 7
If that is not the essence Of tyran.
ny and despotism, what is it? Mr..
Brough considers it avERY SMALL
matter to arrest men without any le-
gal authority or Justification. He
considers it very small matter for
rulers to violate q Constitution they
have sworn to support, Ho considers
it, therefore, very small matter to
commit perjury! We wonder if Mr..
Brough would consider it small mat
ter if he should be seized without any
legal warrant or authority, and in vio-
lation of the Constitution, thrust into
prison or into exile? Would he call

FREE SpEECH.-Extract from a
speech delivered by the Hon. A. G.
Riddle, Republican member of Con-
gress from Ohio, in February last:
"The freedom of speech is the last
franchise free people will surrender,
and our millions will exercise it in the
midst of no matter what calamities.
They will discuss the events and man.
agement of the war. 1t is their war,
and the humblest of them has an in
terest in it equal to that OF the first
citizen, and they must and may discuss
his (the President acts with free
and manly ken.' ' I
That will do for an Abolition Com
gresham from Ohio. We have no
doubt of the sincerity of Mr.. Riddle
when speaking FOR HIMSELF, but gen,
eral principles and admitted truths are
universal, and cannot be gainsaid.
The above should be placed before ev-
cry abolitionized Republican who sails

tains by acts or words the attempt to
force military despotism on the peo-
pie of the West.-Crisis.

ton to the Union"
Wade's party, by his own confession
on the floor of Congress, adopted, as
the basis of its platform, what he now
calls the ''intamous doctrine of nullif>
cation and secession" Not only did
Wade acknowledge that to be the doc
trine of his party, but he gave his per-
sonal views on coercion. lie said:
"You can not forcibly hold men in
this Union; for the attempt to do so,
it seems to me, would subvert the first
principles of the Government under
which we live
After reading these views, who will
hesitate to say that Wade himself is
as much a Secessionist as jeff Davis?
We have placed in ''small caps GER
tain portions of his speech to call spe-
cial attention to them. He told the
people of the South they had the right
tosecede, and set up government for
themselves, whenever they thought
they could not feel secure under the u
Mon; and that he would not blame them
for seeding, whenever they thought
such contingency had come; and
that under similar circum stancesin re-
gard to his own section, they would not
find him backward in being the ADvo-
CATE OF DIsvNroN! Now, having done
as much as any living man to drive
the people of the South into disunion,
he is the most foul-mouthcd and violent
in denouncing them for following his
advice, for doing what he said they
had a right to do, and which he said
he himself would advocate the doing of
under like circumstances. A modest
and fair-minded man would suppose
that Wade would be very charitable
toward the people of the South, and
altogether silent in reference to their
conduct; but not so Wade himself.
The fact that he counseled the people
Of the South to do what they have
done, instead of weakening the natural
bitterness OF his temper, and mollify-
ing his nourished hate of the people
of the South, has increased the
strength of both; and he stands to day
without superior in his malignity
toward them.- Gin. Enc.

because he belongs to an Abolition
League, and has perfect right to call
this niger war. Who can gainsay
such reasoning?
1t will be noticed that not only dill
the Leaguers and Abolition partisans

utterance of his sentiments, but they
applauded him. To what base uses do
white men come, when they are made

to the New York Methodist:
! believe mentioned in my last letter
from Franfort. last week, the fact that the
rebel loan Is not allowed to be quoted on
the stock exchange there. Apropos of
this. good story was told me in Frank
fort. A gentleman was. transacting some
business with the Frankfort head of the
house of Rothschild. After the business
was finished the conversation turned to-
wards American affairs "How 10 it,"
asked the stranger, "that the Confede-
rate loan is not quoted in Frankfort ?"
Because they will not allow it to be quo
ted." was the reply. "But why not 2"
Because we do not believe in the loan
and because we do not believe in the
cause. But the loan was negotia-
ted here by the house Of Erlanger.'-
"Yes," replied Ro,hschild, "but you do
not find it here, to any extent. except by
that house. No Jewish house Of any
character or wealth has touched that loan +,
nor will they touch it.

Am EN- d OF Judge NRcCunn.
From The N, Y poa1

All orderly citizens, and the city po-
lice also, will rejoice at decision render
ed in the Supreme Court on Saturday last
in the matter Of the habeas corpus on the
relation Of Louisa Nash. Nash was ar
rested and committed on charge Of lar
ceny, and was afterward discharged By
City Judge McCunn on writ of habeas
corpus. Unless public rumor greatly be-
lies this Judge. he has used the hsbeas
corpus writ very freely in favor of men
like the rioters who recently disgraced
the ci,y-for whom justice is q terrible
word. Ii he has indeed favored this
class, they will be grisved to know that
he can serve them no more. Their pro-
,ector is shorn of his power. The Su-
preme Court decidedly Judge Barnard
that the City Judge has no power or
right to issue the writ Of habeas corpus.
1t may be remarked of this decision what
has been said Of law in general:
'No rogue e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion OF the law"
