Another Arrest. @
Edward N. Fuller, Esq, editor of the
Newark IN. j. Journal, was arrested last
week, "Wednesday, by order of Gen. Dix,
for the enormous crime of pu blishing an ar
ticle upon the draft which was distasteful
to the military tyrants who rule. Strange
TO say, the forms Of law were observed in
this case, contrary to the usual custom
Two charges were preferred against Mr..
Fuller: The first for melting an insurrec-
ton, and the second for discouraging enlist
ments. After examination he was released
on giving bail in the sum of 81 600. The
following is the portion of the article on
which the charges against Mr.. Fuller are
based:
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND MoRE-It will
be seen that Mr.. Lincoln has called for an
other half million of men. Those who de-
sire to be butchered will please step forward
at once. All others will stop at home and
defy Old Abe and his minions to drag them
from their families. We hope that the peo-
pie of New jersey will at once put their
feet down and insist that not man shall be
forced out Of the State to engage in the
Abolition butchery, and swear to die at their
own door rather than march one step to full
I'll the dictates of that mad revolutionary
fanaticism, which has destroyed the best
government the world ever saw, and would
now butcher its remaining inhabitants to
carry out a mere fanatical sentiment. This
has gone far enough, and must be stopped.
Let the people rise as one man and demand
that this wholesale murder shall cease
Let the people unite in grand defensive
r IL
despots at Washington. Let the taxpayers
come forward and demand that the system
of exorbitant municipal bounties shall cease;
and these objects accomplished. Mr.. Lin
coin will be obliged to depend upon the
loyalty Of his office holders and contractors
for recruits to carry on the war"
lnthe eyes Of men accustomed TO think
their own thoughts and to breathe the free
air of Heaven unrestricted, there would
seem to be nothing in this quite deserving
of death or severe punishment of any des-
cription. But, under the present rule, what
right has an American citizen to even ex-
press an uufavorable opinion of the tyrant
at Washington or any of his acts, much less
to arraign him before the tribunal of public
opinion and ask judgement upon his wanton
butcheries of his fellow men?
But right or no right, there are those who
dare to do it, at the risk of the displeasure
of the maudlin, Infamous despot whose
usurped authority disgraces the country of
q Washington, Jefferson and jackson.
Our readers will remember Mr.. Fuller as
the former editor of the New Hampshire
Gazette. published in this city. He is a
sound Democrat and "a true friend of his
country, and We trust that he will come out
of this despicable persecution unscathed and
with eolors flying. He is still unterri fed
and full Of fight, as we judge by the follow
from his paper just after bis elease. He
says:
We have no honeyed words for such a
ruler as Abraham Lincoln who, If we read
the Constitution Alright and construe his acts
correctly, is perjured traitor, who has be-
trayed his country and caused the butcherv
of hundreds of thousands of the people of
the Uni ed States. in order to accomplish
either his owe selfish purposes, or to put in
force fsnatical impracticable idea.
We shall continue to advance BY all Iegiti-
mate means within our power, as occasion
casion may seem to demand a union of the
people against this accursed Administrs
ton. We shall never seem to favor a mea
sure which we regard as utterly wrong,
however others may see fit to trim their
speech to the demands of the usurpers
in power We shall never sing pens to
this wretched abolition war, nor urge men
to be bought or hired to prosecute it, nor
advocate the raising of money to allow the
butchers at Washington TO spill more blood
We shall not eulogizs the draft as merci-
full Institution for the benefit of the Patrio, ic
poor men CT insult their intelligence and
manhood by urging them to submit tamely
to be dragged from their families. And we
say to the Administration at Washington,
aud TO its minions. civil and military: ''If
this be treason, make the most of it,"
