TERMS,--S1.5O

i the arrest OF Mr.. Kees. denounced. IN no
measured terms, that act as arbitrary, des-
potis and unconstitutional. His arrest, With
! out "presentment or indictment BY grand
jnry,n and without 'due process OF law
and his transportation out Of the Stats, l
pronounce wilful and Aagrant violation Of
! the Constitution. which your Exeellency, -
we'll as the President oi the United States
and those acting under him, had sworn 10
support This, fear, was the unpsrdonsbls
sin for which was arrested.
! Your Excelleucy Is equally mistaken Ia
your next proposition. Your reporter says:
"The Governor re ierred to the condition OF
the border, and the threatened invasion ef
Ohio, at the time he was advised that DR..
Olds was making speeches denouheing the
Administration" &C.; 80 he telegrsphsd to
the Secretary Of War to remove DR.. Olds
temporarily, until we could drive back Kirby
Smith and the other scoundrels from the
border" &c. Now, it must be known to
| your Excellency that you a>ked for my sr-
rest on the l4th of July, consequently the
cause Of my arrest must have exis Led ct thas
date. The order for my arrest from the War
Office was dated on the I'd oi August; was
! there any threatened invasion of Ohio as
| that time? Certainly not. Neither your
Excelency nor ''sny other man." at that
time, contemplated any such an invaSion.--
Kirby Smith had not then even made hia
appearance in Kentucky; his battle at ch-
mond was not fought until the 3Oth OF Aus
gust. at that tiuIe had been more than
TWO weeks in solitary confinement in Fort
La ayette. II your Excelency will turn to
your annual message on the G.h OF January,
/ you will find that your proclamation concern
ing the threatened Invasion was dated on tho
/ ~ OF Sep embcr. Consequently all your
twadde about threatened invssion.of Ohio
and driving back Kirby Smith had no more
to dc with my arrest and Imprisonment than
! It had with the rnan III the moon, 1t was
all mere clap trap-all a pandering to the
baser feelings OF your audience, who were
"hungering and thirsting' 10 hear your Ex.
cellency give il good TO Dr. Olds.
Your E1cellency, in your next proposition,
is also guilty of gross Misrepresentation,

The GOVERNOR, Tod, says: "That
when the border was cleared, and the pee.

be released, and he ,0as
! Here let me inquire, was not the border
cleared, and Kirby Smith driven back even
! bey nd the border OF Kentucky, long before

lency, by proclamation, ordered the Squirrel.
hunters to return to their homes. and assurs
ed the people OF Ohio that all danesr from
the threatened invasion was passed long
prior to the fall election? Most certainly
