must be obvious to the dullest intellect,

shameless refusal even to listen to the
courteous request of the editors-one of
them of the Baltimore Evening Post-for
redress, though told, and the paper which
was the pretence for its suppression

that it contained nothing adverse to him or
his policy that could be deemed disloyal

not in a private but official capacity, the
clear and palpable object of which was tc

letter on the same subject, refusing to in

that it was matter beyond his control
and insulting the outraged people Of fba
gallant State, by telling them that the or

the option of not voting at all-the option
of leaving the election in that State to b.

the pretence for the arrest is wholly un
