THE Raleigh Progress of The 23d says The Viii
nineton Journal Of the organs OF Governor VANCE
il very abusive of the present Congress for not extend
i1e the suspension of The writ of Habeas Corpus In
this brief sentence the Progress says two pgs at it
ought net to have said The Progress must knog that
the Wilmington Journal ia 20 organ of Gov. VANCE
or of aoy other candidate for Governor. 1t must also
know if it read recent article in our pfrer upon the
question OF the suspension Of the privilege CT tie writ Of
habsds corpus that We were net abusive OF the present
Congress. We are rot in the habit ct being abusive
CT anybody, AID seldom bitter unIess provoked byond
measure The Progress ough. to try and be just and
candid. That paper frequently parades the assumption
that vote fer Governor VANCE will be equivalent to
vote for sundry persons whom it names, among others
the editor of this paper This Is purely an as
sumption, on electicneering trick. We have nc
thing to do with Governor VANCE--no cGrfesPond-
ence CT intercourse with his Immediate advlsefs Or per
sonal supporters Not whit more now than We had
when the Progress Ct the orga5s OF Governor
VANCE. Our humble ZANE has Of course no proper
connection with this any other canvass still, if al
lusion uM continue to be made, We may be allowed to
cay, without egotism, that we are not ashamed OF The
cisis. That course has been at least consistent and
we know it has been dictated by honest motives The
amount of support which give Gov. VANCE is
such as compors with The maintenance of every prir
ciple part and, being perfectly Independent
compromises neither the party giving nor the party re-
ceiypg such support.
Hon. u. L.. VAII4AEDIGHAM, by returning to LIN
COINS dominons, has made issue in which II seems
to Us he must either triumph fall There would seem
to be no medium ground.
fMr. VALLAED1EGHAM can return setting the au-
thority of LINCoLNs civil and military courts at def
ance, then LncoInism has already fallen ard the au
thority of LINCOLN is at an crd. Il, on tbs other
hand, LINCOLN rearrests Br. VALANDIGuAM and is
sustained in so doing Mr. VALLANDIGHAM's movement
is a fat failure. intended a revolution against
tyranny and certain to be respected successful, it
will be denounced as shallow bravado, and followed
By the ohcquy sure to attach to the who does
not succeed. Future times may do him justce--hs
own certainly will not.
We doubt whether Ohio or ary other Part of tie
Northwest is ripe for the movement which Mr.. VAL
LAND1GHAMs return must insuguFate, If it is expected
to succeed. We trust that il may turn out that we
are Mistaken but unless We are mistaken LINCOLN will
prevail Ia the present CONTEST between hIl and ir.
VALLAND1GHAM, which viii haco11e :. party matter at
oace-the shibboleh OF the I.ncoln md tiJincoIn
parties at the North.
MIR. VALLANDIGHAM would ha'dy have re-
turned TO the Norti2rn States but for tbs
near approach of The Democratic Co0yeL-.
ton to meet at Clicsgo tie 4th Of July. Mr. VAL
LANDIaHAM viii be almost certain to be tend1rea the
second place upon my ticket the Democrats mag bring
iorward-he may be rendered the first, though it is
likely tta5 the candidacy for President will frst
be offered TO ExPresilent PIERCE General MeCLE'
Lam. Before tie nomination sort of issue will be made
that may pref 5ute future events AS have already
said, we apprebeni that Mr.. VALLANDTGHAM viii be
overcome in the beginning BY the present incumbent
.
and those who wied the power which he has uEurped
and CT the thousands that shout for him, sT
have nerve enough to la:sa hand for his defelca CT
rescue. He, no doubt, has bis 0 Hn calculations, but
they are destined TO failure. Re fear.
