couraged from enlisting, or that some person
might have been discouraged to desert, on
account, Of hearing of MIR. Vallandigham's
views as to the policy Of the war as q means
OF restoring the Unien, would that have laid
the foundation for bis conviction and Danish
mentY If so, upon the same grounds every
political opponent Of the. Mexican war might
have been. convicted and banished from the
country. When gentlemen of high standing
and extensive influence, including your Ex
.cellency, opposed, 10 the discussion before
tbs peopis, the policy Of the Mexican war,
were they "warring upon the military" and
did this " give the military constitutional
jurisdiction to lay hands upon" them? And,
finally, the charge in the specification upon
which MIR. Vallandigham was tried entitled
him to trial before the civil tribunals. ac-
cording 10 the express provisions OF the late
acts OF Congress, approved by yourself July
17th, 1852, and March Sd, 1868. which were
manifesily designed to supercede all necessi-
ty or prstext for arbitrary military arrests.
The undersigned are unable to agree with
you in the opinion you hare expressed, that
the Constitution 10 different in time Of in.
surreetion or invasion from what 1t is in
time OF peace and public security. The
Constitution provides for no limitation upon
or exceptions to the guarantees OF personal
liberty, except as to the writ Of ha5eas corpus
Has the President, OF the time Of invasion
or insurrection, the right TO engraft limita-
tons or exceptions upon these constitutional
guarantees. whenever, in his Judgment, the
public safety requires it? True it is, the
article OF the Consultation which defines the
various powers delegated TO Congress, de-
claras that "the privilege Of the writ Of Aa>
bsas corpus shall noe be suspended unless
where, in cases ol rebellion. or invasion, the
public safetJ may require it," But this
qualification or limitation upon this restrio-
ton upon the powers Of Congress, has no
reference 10 or connection with the other
guarantees or personal liberty.
Expungs from tho Constitution this limita.
