Mr.. Bernard Hughes rose 10 support
| the resolution Of the gentleman from New
York. Every American citizen has an
interest in the sli-absorbing question Of IL
| legal arrests. He was most emphatically
opposed to sending this question before .
partisan committee. Let the subject be-
discussed on this floor in manly, firm
and unfinching manner. 1t comes with
IA bad grace from the Republican side Of
this House, to stife discussion, to cal the.
previous question, which he woad not
call the towards weapon, but disbonor-
able subterfuge to screen the Administra-
tion from fair, open and searching in
vestigation He warned the opposition
against trampling upon free discussion.-,
1t comes with bad grace from the de-
tenders of the Administration-the reci-
pients of its patronage-the abetto.s Of
its wrongs-to shrink from defending it
'and its policy on this floor He who
shuns inquiry betrays guilt. He trusted
the gentleman from St. Lawrence would
not inaugurate on this floor the tyranuical
practices Of the Republican members Of
Congress, who have voted down every ef-
fort made to investigate the conduct Of
the President.
He claimed that Mr.. Lincoln is our ser.
want, and that we have a right to hold
MIN responsible for the discharge Of his
duties in that regard. If be has been
true to his oath of ofice--f he has not
violated his country's Constitution--nei-
her he nor his friends should fear inqui.
~. He, for one, was bound, so long as
"a vestige of American liberty remaius on
his continent, to battle in its defence, or
trail to the bar OF justice every man---be
he high or low-who shall lay his unholy
hands on the peoples rights. The lovers
of truth desire discussion-the abettors
of wrong stide Investigation. He couclu-
ded by hoping that the resolution would
be put down as special order for to-mor-
row. -
The resolutions, after some opposition
from Mr.. Pindle, Republican, were made
a special order for the following day.

SPEECH OF HON, GILBERT DEAN,
ass OF NEW YORK.
The system of Arbitrary Artists.

Judge Dean called from the table the
following preamble and resolution:
Whereas several citizens OF the State
of New York, have, since the first day OF
July, 1861, been arrested without pro,
cess of law and imprisoned without war
rantSwithiu the limits of this State; and
Whereas, many others have oeen 50 ar.
rested aud taken, not only without author.
ity of law, but in vinlati"n Of the statutes,
beyond the limit of the States; and
Whereas, it is represented that pub
lie officers of this State have aided in such
arrests aud imprisonments and .deporta
,ion, and that the public prisons OF this
State have been used for the confinement
of such prisoners so illegally held and
Whereas, il is also represented that
tain Judges Of, this State having jutisdic-
tion. have, in violation Of the statutes, re-
fused an application to issue writs OF Ha'
beas Corpus therefore
Resolved, that a select committee OF five
be appointed to inquire into all the above
matters. and that the said committee have
authority to send for and examine persons
nd papers, and that said committee be
!. q u.reeted to report to this House in wri-
ting, With all convenient speed, together
4 With the evidence taken therein.
Mr. Dean did not propose at this time
to debate this resolution. He should d.
/, 40 on some future occasion, if any opposi
ton should be made. He believed the
subject had been so thoroughly discussed
{ in the political campaign which ended il
November last, as to render it uunecessa
y to argue it now, The cause had beel
,tried--the verdict rendered, and the duty
of that representative body was 70 pass
;ndament,. after that verdict--which wa'
the voice not only Of the people of thu
State. but Of nearly every loyal State in th'
IJnion--and to punish those who stood
convicted of the offence. l
The only question to which he hae
been pledged upon coming here, was Z

HARpER's WEEKLY for the current
week gives the President hard bit.
Mr.. Lincoln is represented as theatri-
cal manager before the footlights. His
attitude is obsequious in the extreme.
The following is his little announcement:
Manager Lincoln--"Ladies and Gen.
tlemen, 1 regret to say that the tragedy
entitled, sThe Army of the Potomac
has been withdrawn, OIL account of quar-
rels among the leading performers, and I
have substituted three new and striking
farces or burlesques; one, entitled The
Repulse at Vicksburg,' by the well-known
popular favorite, E. M. Stanton, Esq,
and the others, The Loss Of the Harriet
Lane, and The exploits Of the Alabama

by the veteran composer, Gideon Welles."
