Arbitrary Arrests im Illinois.
Message of lire Governor.

Upon the subject of arbitrary ar
rests the message Of the Governor of
Illinois, although not in every respect
coming up to the true doctrine, is in
refreshing contrast with the servile
tone and craven spirit Of that Of the
Governor Of Ohio. After discussing
the point at some length, he says:
"IIence / think that arrests should
be made only in extreme cases, in
which there can be no doubt as to the
propriety and necessity therefor; that
the reasons should be given to the
prisoner and the public, unless plainly
to the injury Of the public service;
and in all cases it should appear that
individual malice or party reasons had
not prompted thereto"
Had this rule been followed, few in
deed Of the arrests that have been
complained of would have been made;
and how satisfactory would have been
the proceeding in comparison with the
feeling at present! 1t is evident that
the Governor Of Illinois does not look
upon himself as merely the agent Of
the General Government, to think its
thoughts, do its bidding and justify its
acts.

neS~ Those who charge Democrats
with seeking to divide the North,
know that they themselves are guilty,
and the only ones that are guilty, OF
that very crime. One year ago they
professed to be fora restoration of the
Union with all the dignity, equality and
rights of the several States unimpaired.
Upon this, the North stood united as
one man. Democrats still adhere firm
ly and unfinehinglv to that platform.
But their political opponents have de-
parted from it by the unconstitutional
division of one of the States; by de-
priving States and parts of States Of
their constitutionalrights, and attempt
ing to blot them out of existence as
States end convert them into mere ter
ritories or colonies. These and similar
measures have caused whatever division
exists in the North, andupon the heads
Of those who have promoted and produ-
ced such measures, rest the RESPONSE
bility of any such division or any that
may hereafter arise.

The Port Royal Negroes.

The New York World publishes a
letter from ga Soldier" dated Beau
fort, S. c., Jan. 4, and vouches for the
yeracity of the writer. The "Soldier"
says: l ga
We have in this country band Of
ill-featured, psalm-singing, Black Re-
publican men and women, who bear the
name of "Gideonites, who ostensibly
came out here to teach the poor slave
to know something of the benefits of
freedom; but alasl the Gideonites teach
but little of faith they profess.
The writer states that the clothing
collected in the North for the naked
African, is carefully assorted previous
to being sent South, and on its arrival
there, instead of being given as char
ity to the black, it is sold to him. He
gives instances of this sort of operation
that came under his personal observa-
ton. "The boss Gideonites, who man
ages the affairs down there" he says,
sis Father French" On his recent
tour North, French took with him a
colored man named William, who was
used to recite pitiful tale of his suf-
ferings written by French and commit
ted to memory by William, which
brought tears from the eyes Of his au-
ditors and liberal donations from their
pockets. French returned to Beaufort
with William and a goodly number of
disciples, male and female. When the
vessel touched the dock, William was
discharged with one dollar and fifty
cents in his pocket, without clothes,
except what he had on, and without en-
ployment.
Teachers of both sexes are sent ont
there by what is called the National
Freeman Association, whose head
quarters are i'll New York city. These
so called teachers the Government fur
nishes with transportation GRATIS, and
allows them each fifty dollars month
and rations.
The "Soldier" says that Mrs. Gage
I Frances D. a female Gideonite, and
one of the chief engineers of the negro
melody shop, is the special correspon-
dent ofthe New York Tribune, through
whose columns, false lights are held
out to the public respecting the moral
elevation of the negroes, who arcevery
day becomingmore lazy and impudent.
The writer says:
am soldier, not Fighting for the
freedom of the negro, but for the main
tenance of the laws and the Constitu-
ton of the United States. Ny fellow
soldiers believe as | do in this matter.

As5 The expenditures of the Feder-
al Government are now at the rate of
two and a half million dollars per day.
In the moan time, The Abolition ma
Jonty in Congress are voting millions
upon millions for The purchase and e.
Emancipation Of slaves in the Border
States. In view OF this the Chieago
Times commends to the notice of the
Abolitionists in Congress the following
resolution unanimously adopted at one
OF the recent great meetings of the IL
linois Democracy at Springfield:
RESOLVED, That the General Gov
ernmcnt has no power under the Cons
stitution to tax the people of the State
of Illinois for the purpose of raising
money with which to buy the slaves Of
Southern States, and we now declare,
in advance, that all debts contracted,
or bonds which may be issued, for the
purpose ofpaying for any such slaves,
we hold to be utterly void, for want of
authority to issue the same; and the
State of Illinois will never consent that
her people shall be taxed for any such
purpose.

rRar Some of the Abolition edit


gGF Some of the Abolition editors
are jubilant over the appearance Of the
letter, from President Lincoln to Gen
eral Mcclellan, which was recently
producedin the Mcdowell Court Mar
tial, asserting as they do that it has
had a crushing effect on the latter.
What shallow nincompoops these fel-
lows are! The only thing developed
by that letter was cumulative evidence,
if that were needed, Of the want of
brains and commonsense in the Exec-
utive Department. And in the absence
of these qualities what a terrible thing
it is for those in authority to be inter.
meddling in the operations of the ar
my and thwarting the plans of our best
Generals. 6a,ftf

Governor Seymour, in his message,
says that since the beginning Of the
present war, the State of New York
has sont to the field 222,836. The
numbef from this State, now in the
ield'is estimated at 1000, showing
a total waste since the beginning of
the war, Of 97,636, or about $4,000
men lostto the service from this State
alone by death, disability and deser>
tion. These figures, compared with
the results accomplished, speak loudly
against the capacity of those in power
to carry on this gigantic war.-INew

The PRESIDENTS IMPUDENT Mes
sAGE.--The Presidents Message, in
favor Of Chase's banking scheme, is
not we'll received even by his own party
in Congress. The Cincinnati Gazette S
Washington special dispatch says:
In the Senate it was SO cavalierlv
received as not even to get the common
compliment Of being ordered to be
printed. In the House, Mr.. Wash
burne moved to refer it to special
committee ofboth Houses, and thereon
called the previous question. The
House refused to sustain the previous
question, or to refer the Message in
in the way proposed, and adjourned
without making any further disposition
oft. Agood many members feel sore
at what they call the Presidents lee
ture.

General Jackson sssd lhc Sus
pension of the 1Eabc;as Corpus.


pensiuM of the lAabe;as Corpus.
The Gazette frequently cites the
precedent Of Andrew jackson, at
New Orleans, who suspended the ha-
beas corpus and declared martial law,
as one that Lincoln has followed. We
pity its stupidity and despise its dis
honesty in the reference. Jackson S
and Lincoln's suspension of the hds
beas corpus and declaration of martial
law are about us much alike as light
is like darkness. Jackson proclaim
cd and carried out martial law WITHIN
THE LIMITS OF A BEsIEGED CITY, WHOSE
INHABITANTS WERE ALL WITHIN HIS
MILITARY LINES. Lincoln proclaims
martial law over the whole United
States, outside of military lines, whore
there are no military operations going
on, and where there is not hostile
soldier. Under Jackson's precedent
there is not a single place in the free
States where it would not be usur-
patton for Lincoln to proclaim and en-
force martial law or decree the suspen-
sion of the habeas corpus. If Jacks
son-when he proclaimed martial law
and suspended the habeas corpus at
New 0rleans-then besieged by the
British-had done the same in his
proclamation over the whole United
States-at Boston, Portland and New
York--it would have been d move like
Lincoln's. Jackson had too much
sense and patriotism for that Gin.

In the National House of Repre-
sentatives on Monday, Mr.. Elliot, of
Massachusetts, introduced a bill to
establish Ii Bureau Of Emancipation
in the War Department, and authori-
zing the President, with the advice
and consent Of the Senate, to appoint
a Commissioner of Emancipation, with
an annual salary of five thousand dol
lars, to whom shall be referred the ad-
iustnent and determination, under di-
rection of the Secretary of War, Of
allquestions arising under this act, or
any laws of emancipation now existing
orhereafter to be enacted. m
Of course the interests of the 'sFree
Americans of African descent must
be seen to at the expense of the tax
ridden white people of the country
This is necessity which Abolitionism
among other evils has brought upon
an afflicted nation. But the worst is
yet to come.

Lieutenant Governor Stanton, of
Ohio, elected IN 1861, upon the same
ticket with Governor Tod, gave utter
ance to the following sentiments in the
House of Representatives, of which
he was then a member. The speech,
from which this extract is taken, was
made on the Goth of February, 1861.
He said:
''Seven or eight States now deny
their allegiance to this Government,
have organized a separate Confedcra-
cy, and have declared their indepen-
dence of this Government. Whether
that independence is to be maintained
or not is with the future. IF they
shall maintain their position, and il
public opinion in those seeding States
shall sustain the authorities there for
a year or two to come, SO as to show
that nothing but q war Of subjugation
and conquest can bring them back, I,
for one, am disposed to recognize their
independence. Applause, and cries
Of sThat's s right, from the Democratic
benches. Now, in this state Of things,
if the remaining seven slaveholding
States remain in the Confederacy,
they are entitled to additional guaran-
tees" 8,,.soag.
The question is now whether Stan
ton will redeem his promise?

Gen. MiIrOy Ehforces the Eman-
ciDattOu Pr0cIa m alton.

General Milroy has issued proc
lamation from his headquarters at
Winchester, Virginia, announcing the
publication Of the Presidents Eman-
cipation proclamation, and his deter
mination to enforce it. He says:
I expect all citizens to yield ready
compliance with the proclamation of
the Chief Executive, and l admonish
all persons disposed to resist its peace
full enforcement, that upon manifest
ing such disposition by acts, they will
be regarded as rebels in arms against
the lawful authority of the Federal
/ Government, and dealt with accor-
dinghy.
All persons liberated by said proc
lamation are admonished to abstain
from all violence, and Immediately be-
take themselves to useful occupation.
The officers of this command are ad-
monished and ordered to act in accor-
! dance with said proclamation, and yield
their ready cooperation inits enforce
ment.
General Milroy, it thus appears,
will treat all loyal persons, who mani
fest any opposition to being immedi-
ately and without complaint deprived
of their property in slaves, as rebels
in arms against the Government, and
deal with them accordingly. But this
is only sample of the way in which
Abolitionists propose to restore the
Union and protect the rights of loyal
men in the so-called seeded States
or parts of States.
1t further appears that the officers
and men under Gen. Milroy's COM
handsome of whom are from Ohio
are to be used for the purpose of
setting free and maintaining the free
dom of the slaves Of loyal as well as
rebellious masters. Did our soldiers
enlist for any such purpose, and is not
such use of them a fraud upon them
and upon the whole country?- States

neF- A Washinrton disnateb tn

Fs5~ A Washington dispatch to a
New York paper says that the Govern
mont detectives have ascertained that
parties in New England have been ex-
tenslvely engaged in manufacturing
and selling to the rebels shoes and
other goods, which are shipped to Ca
NADIA, and thence to Nassau, where
they are reshipped torun the blockade.
They are busily engaged in this kind
of business now, having commenced
the year patriotically.' These are of
the class or men who are opposed to
the Constitution as it is and the Union
as it was, who are valorous in urging
on the war, but cautious of all venture
in it save Of shoes and shoddy.

Gur2ey On Chase fOr agle Nom
Payment OF Soldiers.

The Washington ,Specialof the Gin
cinnati Gazette gives the following ac-
count of the attack of John A. Gurley,
Abolition member of Congress from
this State, on Secretary Chase. 1t
occurred in the House on the 10th
inst. The Gazettes special says:
The House was occupied to day with
financial matters. The most striking
feature of the debate was Gurley' s
speech which openly took Chaseto task
for having failed to pay the soldiers,
and drew the most startling pictures
yet presented to Congress of the terri
bic suffering among the families which
that failure has produced. aa
Judge Thomas IF Massachusetts in
quired whether Chase had power to sell
bonds to raise money for such purpo-
ses, aad Gurley argued that he had,
and that the House had formally de-
clared its belief thathe had, by calling
upon him to know why he had not done
it.
Lovejoy complained of Gurley for
making an attack on Chase.

Were Enlisted Under False Pre-
De- satfiH teneeS.

1t is thought by some that the at
tempts now being made by some Of the
members of company A, 95th regi-
ment, Col. MeMillen, to be released
from further duty, will be successful.
They claim that they were enlisted
under false pretences--that they en-
listed with the understanding that
they were to be attached to regiment
of sharp shooters Ohio State Jour
nal.
If every soldier is allowed to retire
from the service who feels that he was
induced by ''false pretcnses" to take
part in the war, we suspect that three
fourths Of the entire army would soon
be at home. Among the evidences
that such would be the result, we have
now in our possession letter from an
officer from this county, in which the
writer states that the Presidents s proc
lamation is so universally condemned
in his company, barely TWO members
in it would remain in the service if
they could obtain their discharge. The
writer adds that majority of the
company, at the time of volunteering,
were Republicans. These facts are
full Of significance and show that
there is a growing conviction among
the soldiers as we'll as with the people,
that the wretches who control the poll
icy of the war have no desire to restore
the old Union but are bent on con-
verting it into an Abolition raid on
slavery Newark Advocate.

gS9p The financial condition Of the
country is at last beginning to attract
the attention of even Republican poll
ticians, and we are now told by them
that the difficulties. which are now
growing upon the Government, are
the engrossing topic at Washington.
Many sensible men admonished the
Secretary Of the Treasury long ago,
that his financial plan was stupen-
dous humbug, but he would not listen,
and his toadies pufed him as the most
wonderful man Of this or any other
age. But time has shown how falla-
cious his plans were, and now the au-
thor Of them seems alarmed lest the
whole scheme should tumble to pieces,
even before he can escape from it's
