The gteat Commonwealth OF Georgia has declared,
through its General Assembly that the act of Congress

the constitutional power Of the courts and upon the
liberty of the people, wthcu: any existing necessity
Ito excuse IT, and beyond the power Of any possible

sci taves in Congress from that State urged take
the first possible opportunity to have the act botej
from the record of our laws Tee act expires, by it's
own limitation SIX days after tho meeting Of he next
Congress We have no idea that it will be renewed,
and doubt If even the attempt viii be made. 1t lie plain
enough now 10 everybody that 'the public safety" did
not demand tn, Whdra val of this great safeguard Of
personal liberty aod Wi.hou. such necessity there
no constitutional warrant for the action which Congress
took The passage OF the bill is tdsrsiocd 10 have

irgs authorized to be made public. That mistake
made as to the need for legislation Of this character is
beyond uesion-lnd tie legislation ITSELF therefore
stands without justification. The act is much to be de-
pored since it the harmony Of the noble struggle
VII ch a united people are making for independence

ABOLITION MOB VIoLESoE-RErALIArIoN IN KIND
The Chicago Times, abiding to the Tribuue's remarks
on late outrage of an abolition soldier In the office of
the former, says:
l. is not improper, in this connection, to add that
when the Times shall cease to be printed by reason of
par,ixan mob volorce il is the purpose of the Democ
racy of Chicago that other paper shall be printed in
the cy AMI we have not the slightest doubt that this
D Irpose will be scuted And 1t is not improper in
this connection TO further add that we fear il viii be
sorry day for the peace Of the city when the Times
shall be seriously intsrerfvd With by mob violence.
We saw this not in the way Of threat but simply to
stas fact which will bS az o5JiouI TO others as Il s
70 US If others choose TO put themselves in the channel
of current information. ,ElS,Where abolition mobs
seem 10 have had unobstructed sIturnalia. They will
not have this in Chicago
The Times, commenting the general lEWlessneSs in
the west, says;
The outrages by roviag soldiers just so general
are of course by the consent and encouragement ao
or otherwise Of the officers Of that sodery and they
are, too, the legitimate consequence OF the teachings
of numerous abolition Generals politicians an5 almost
without txcsption Of the abolition press. They be
stopbed 10 day If tbs administration at Washington
choose 10 step them They not stopped, and in
tention Is apparent Of Stopping them. Every consdera
ton then OF right jus ice and law uslides the Democ
rscy in falling back upon the power Of their strong
arms for sef-pFotecton, sof-defenos and punshment
Of the sggressors.
SO stands the situation. We know that the spirit of
the Democracy is everywhere rsing-We believe it has
every shere risen-to the necessities of the times
Il is now for the aiminltr at Washington and
the abolition press and politicians all the country
60 determine how much blood shall be spilled aud how
much pro psrty shall be Destroyed in the maintenance
