an abundance OF coal and water power fur
nishes the means for manufacturing on the
largest scale and cheapest terms. From
surveys, geological examinations, and ev-
cry source of knowledge open in reference
to the topography and soil of Indiana it is
safe to say Tat no State in the Union hav.
ing an equal number of square miles. has
less land unsusceptible of cultivation =
The State is trayersed in every direction
By lines of railroad well managed and in
successful operation. In 1860 there was in
the Staiey2, l2j miles of railroad in opera
lion, the construction of which is estimated
to have cost $40 295 l4S; and it may not
be improper to remark that all these roads
were built without the aid of grants of
land by the Federal Governne ent Yet
these roads do not furnish sufficient facili
ties for the accommodation OF the travel
ing public and the transportation of the
immense productions Of the State. Some
conception nay be obtained of the magni-
tude of these productions by giving the
statistics of few leading articles, as shown
by the last census. In 1860 there were
produced in the State 60. Gal ,2J1 bushels
of corn. 15,2i9.I20 bushels of wheat,
5,028.175 bushels of oats, 7,246, 1872

On illegal arrests, Gov. Parker has the
following in his inaugural, which we COM
mend to the peru>al of our patrons. and
advise father Abraham aud Hon. E. NJ.
Stanton to read and remember; it may be
useful to them some day-when they feel
an irropressible desire to take" somebody
out in Jersey:
"The war now in progress was; with
unanimity, declared by Congress TO be
waged on the part of the United States,
not for any purpose of conquest or subJu-
CATION, overthrowing or interfering with
the rights or established institutions of the
States, bu. to defend and maintain the su
premacy Of the constitution. and to pre-
serve the Union. with the equality and
rights Of the several States unimpaired.-
This was the only Legitimate purpose for
which the war could be prosecuted, and
with this purpose in view. the people of
the loyal States responded to the call of
tle government In accepting the stern
reality of war for the maintenance of the
constitution, they had a right to expect
that their own constitutional privileges
would be respected. They did not expect
that. in order to SUP press rebellion the in-
aienable liberties Of loyal citizens must be
sacrificed. They did not expect that the
constitution of the United States was so
impotent that Its supremacy could only
be maintained by a violation of ts pro-
visions.
Citizens of this State have been seized
without due process of law, without the
opportunity of investigation before a COM
hitting magistrate, without being confront
ell by accuscrs or witnesses, without being
Informed of the cause of detention; and,
without Indictment or trial have been iorci-
bly, taken and confined as prisoners out of
the State of New jersey. Such action is a
violation of the rights of the individual
1t demands serious consideration. 1t con-
Germs every man in the community. 1t
is the privilege as well as the solemn du
ty Of free people to inquire into any
claim of power which infringes upon the
well defined guards of personal liberty.

and to be confronted by the witnesses
against him."
Personal liberty is one of the absolute
rights of man. It's protection Is one oI
the primary objects of government. Under
our system courts of law are established
to try criminals of every grade. The Fed
eral and State courts, having their defined
and proper jurisdiction, have continually
been accessible. The law points out the
mode of proceeding against the alleged of
fender, and whatever may be the nature o.
the crime the courts in New Jersey will
fairly investigate the charge and punish
the criminal, if legally convicted. II any
