On Friday, the 22d ultimo, Mr..
Pugh applied to the Supreme Court
Of the United States for writ Of
cEkTIoRARI in the case Of the Hon.
Clement L. Vallandigham. The petit
toner was denied the privilege of the
writ of HABEAs CORPUS, in May last,
by Judge Leayitt, Of the Southern
District of Ohio--before the. date Of
Lincoln's proclamation-in pursuance
OF the act Of Congress approved
March 3, 1858, authorizing him, at
his mere discretion, to suspend the
privilege of that writ. A more infa-
nous decision has not been made, IN
any Court or by any Judge, since the
conviction of Algernon Sidney; and
Leavitt proved himself SO far inferior
to Jeffries in that he covered and
skulked where ~ effries would have
stormed and bullied., ~@.g .'
The question now is, as Mr.. Pugh
said to the Supreme Court, whether,
failing the writ OF HABEAs CORPUS
under Lincoln's proclamation, the
writ Of cERTIoRARI has also been abol-
ished or its privilege suspended. I
We publish the brief of Mr.. Pugh
elsewhere, and we recommend the con.
sideration of his propositions not on
ly to the legal profession, or, at least,
such as have a heart to love liberty,
but to the people at large. be-.
