Complete Overthrow OF the Public
r. Liberties. -

| hAoW VI the PUBLIC
s. Liberties.
Under this caption the New York World
pronouuces the present the darkest hour
since the outbreak of the rebellion. Il
says:
Congress by an act passed at its late
session, authorizing the President to sus-
pend the writ of haJeas corpus through
ont the whole country, has consummated
Its series Of measures for laying the coun-
try PROSTATE and helpless at the foot Of
one man.
II anyperson, in any part Of the coun-
try, shall think 1t his duty to resist nm
constitutional encroachmen ts on the rights
of citizens, Mr.. Lincoln is authorized, bv
what purports to be law, to snatch up
that individual and immune him in one Of
the Government bastiles as long as he
shall see fit, and there is no power any,
where in the nation to call him to account.
He can send one of his countless FRO
yost marshals into the house of Govern
or OF State, or any other citizen, in the
dead of night, drag him from his bed,
hustle him away under the cover of dark
ness, plunge him in distant and un-
known dungeon, and allow his friends to
know no more of the whereabouts of his
body than they would of the habitation
OF his soul, if, instead of imprisoning a
the provost marshal had murdered him.
With this tremendous power over tho
liberty Of every citizen whom he may
suspect, or whom he may choose to i'm
prison without suspecting, the President
is as absolute despot as the Sultan Of
Turkey. All the guarantees of liberty
are broken down; we all lie at the feet
Of one man, dependent on his caprice for
every hours exemption from bastile.
If he wills it, the State governments
may continue in the discharge Of their
functions; but if he wills it, every ono
OF them that does not become his sub
missiye and subservent tool can be at
once suspended by the imprisonment Of
its officers. Considering the enormous
power conferred on the President by the
Finance and Transcription bills, reasona-
BILE Jealousy would have erected addition
al safeguards against its abuse. Instead
Of that, Congress has thrown down all
she old barriers and left Us absolutely
without shelter 10 the greatest VIC ,nce
Of the tempest. s'-' WYE =
The ninety days during which Coz
gress has lately been in session are t,e
asst ninety days of American freedom.
Our Liberties had been previously cur
tailed and abridged by executive en-
croachments, but the courts remained
open for redress of wrongs.
But this Congress has rendered their
overthrow complete, by first putting tho
purse and the sword in the hands Of the
President, and then assuring him of com
plete impunity in all abuses of this enor-
nous, this dangerous, this tremendous
power.

The Knife and the Torch.


We have from our special correspond
ent at Port 10 n. the startling announce-
ment that 4 force Of 1000 regroee, ied
By whites aud supported by regular
troops, is just ready to enter one Of the
must densely populated districts Of the
Department of the South, in order to
summon its emancipated blacks to arms.
Communications have been established
with the negroes, and they wait only for
the appearance of the liberating force to
spring to arms and rally under the Ma
tional flag. Sudden and irresistible as
an avalanche, this blow will fall where
preparation and defence are alike impos-
sible. The Republic is at length about
to strike at the heart of the Rebellion
and the Proclamation of Freedom, hated
and derided by every enemy to the Ma
ton, shall be heard in trumpet tones on
the plantations of Carolina, and echoed
on the battlefield by the lannon's open
ing roar.
1t requires no announcement to inform
the reader that this paragraph is from the
Tribune. That paper places it at the
head of its columns, double-leaded, so
that it may stand out prominently and at
tract the attention of all. II is the first
bold announcement Of the bloody policy
Of servile instruction, deliberately
planted, melted and aided by "white
men and regular troops" and the Tri-
Gune hugs it to its heart with q deyilish
satisfaction.
There is no possibility Of misundcr-
standing the meaning of the startling
announcement" We have been told that
under the sweeping CONSUMPTION Of the
Confederate Government, all men able TO
bear arms are with the army, and that
none are left at home but the feeble and
the aged, women and children, and the
negroes upon whose labor these subsist
This negro raid, led by whites and back
ed by regular troops, is to be made into
a department "most densely populated
by feeble women, and sickly men, and
young children. 4" Preparation and de-
fences are alike impossible" and the dis
trict is to be given up to the savage rage
and brutal passions Of the negroes and
their white leaders
This is the feast over which the Tri.
bune gloats Will its editors listen at
midnight for the fancied shrieks Of vio-
lated women-the wailings of mangled
children-the groans Of tortured and
powerless men--and then sleep peaceful
ly in their beds Do they hold out the
picture Of this negro instruction, in a
defenceless district, to reconcile the men
Of the North to the CONSUMPTION Law
that calls them into the field to share
similar scenes? Or is il their design 70
madden the public mind and hasten the
day Of retribution?
The world will shudder at this exhibi.
ton Of iiendish malignity, whatever the
motive that prompts its display; and, un.
happily, it is against the Government,
for which tho TriJune is disposed to
speak, that its indignation will be direct

who is PRESIDENT
From The Providence Or. n Post.

There is power behind the throne. -
The President is said to be weak man
and most people think there is no inias-
tice in the statement. "He lacks back
bone" says some of the radicals. "I4e
lacks brains, say others. BackDthe
and brains ought to be supplied by his
friends" say the abolitionists AM
straightway they mark out his course
and commence a pressure. .fhey hedge
him about on all sides save in the particu-
lar direction they would give to his ira.
wells.
They praise him, kick him, abuse him,
spit at him, coax him, and beckon him.
If he complains that their prescriptions
render him uncomfortable, they tell him
as the quack told his patient who had
swallowed three boxes of Brandreths
pills in single night, and fit no better,
that he hasn't gone quite far enough
They keep constantly ahead of him-are
constantly grumbling that he does not
travel faster--and they succeed, undoubt-
edly, in making honest people believe
that they have not much faith in him.
But the great fact, after all, is, that
he follows them. He is generally little
way behind-sometimes almost out of
sight-but on the track, somewhere, be
can almost always be found hating and
hesitating, it may be, but still on the
track; facing the rear, possibly-arguing
with his drivers, perhaps-eating pea
nuts and telling anecdotes, now and then
but always, or almost always, on the
track.
We are in the habit Of saying that this
is the result of pressure. But is not it
remarkable that only the pressure from
this single source should ever have any
influence upon the President? The De-
mocratic and Conservative presses of the
country have warned the President
against following the radical policy
Thurlow Weed, and other Republicans,
have implored him to turn back and stand
by the Constitution and the old flag
The November elections we're a warning
which even deaf man might have noted.
But not all this has moved him from
his path. He has halted, and argued
and stammercd, and implored to be let
alone but he has not, after all, changed
ais course Down, down, down, he has
travelled, until all his original pledges
and even the creed Of his party which he
so revereutly worshipped in the start are
out Of sight. How shall we account for
it?
We think the National Lutelliqencer
accounts for it. If its words mean any.
thing, they mean that Wendell Phillips
is really the power behind the throne. -
lie is President lie abuses the Presi-
dent, it is true but that is evidently by
arrangement. lie says the President Is
weak, is partially blinds at best only
a Kentuckian. But he is " honest
says Mr.. Phillips. Mr.. Phillips visits
him as though they were-(we do not
doubt that they are --warm friends. And
then he goes out 10 the lecture field and
tells the people what to do and what they
will get if they do it,
His predictions are almost always veri-
fed. lie calls for proclamation and it
comes. lie denounces Buell. and McClol-
Lap, and they arc removed lie praises
