A ohssncsss for the IHabaas uornus.

Why don't some patriotic copperhead mag
istrate issue writ of habeas corpus in favor OF
JEFF. Davis, the petticoat chief of the late reb-
ell confederscy, and take him out Of the Gus
tody of those who hold him under an "arbitra-
ry arrest?" Why shouldn't his case be looked
into, and thus ascertain whether there is
grounds fo' restraining him Of his liberty ?
Do not the'e parties who insist that he has
committed no crime against the civil law,
that he has been guilty only of a political
heresy, owe 1T to consistency to see that his
rights under the Constitution are duly recog-
nized and, protected? Come, gentlemen, let
us have no holding back now. ljAtA

Rev E. M. Hstfeld, Of Chicago, in a letter
to the New York Independent, speaking Of
the assassination says: 0ee
In this city aui throughout the State, where.
{ Mr.. Lincoln was we'll known, the sorrow and
indignation arr indiscribable Lawyers who
had associatedwith him at the bar for quar-
ter of a century, will tell you that he was so
thoroughly honest that. in stating the case of
an opponent, he Invariably did it in. such q
manner as tobring out its best points with all
their forces AID clearnesss q 4 DlV
And whist is still more remarkable, the
same writer says: lnoHii5a tl9o1A y
ale refused to undertake the management
of a cause that he could not conduct with a
good conscience, and, when unwillingly drawn
into such cases, his great powers signally fail
ed him." ~ "
ny In the words Of a brother lawyer, he was
good for nothing in such case. The letter
closes with the following:
Through and through, to the innermost f.
bre of his soul, he was an honest man. He
was singuArly free from ambition, or, rather,
he was ambitious only in the highest and best
sense of that much abused word. No man,
noteven Washington himself, was q purer or
more unselish patriot than Abraham Line In.
And venture the assertion that, take him all
in all, he was the greatest man our country
has yet produced. We can hardly claim for
him the symmetrical proportions of Washing
ton, nor that he was equal to Marshall or Jay
as jurist. He had not the sheer intellectual
force Of Webster, nor the power to use wing
ed and fiery words like Patrick Henry and
Henry Clay. But fair estimate of what he
was, and Of what he accomplished, places him
so high In the temple of fame, that any OF
these great men might be proud to have a
niche by his side.

PREACHING ". PRACTICE.

The following is the preaching of the 9th
resolution of the Democratic platform adcp-
ted at Harrisburg:
That the effort now making by certain
persons to use the power of the General
Government with view to force negro suf-
frage on the States against the viii Of the
people and contrary to existing laws, Is not
only high crime against the constitution
but deliberate and wicked attempt to put
the States of this Union tall of them more
or less and some of them entirely under the
domination of negroes, to africanize large
portion of the country and degrade the white
race morally and socially as well as political
ly to the low level of the black. We viii
not acknowledge the incapacity of our own
race to govern itself, nor surrender the des-
TIMES OF the country into the hands of ne
groes, nor put ourselves under their gnardi-
2nship, nor give up to them the political
privileges which we inherited from our faith
ers and we exhort our brethren in other
States to. take up the same attitude and
maintain it firmly
Contrasted with the above we give the
following record of Democratic Practice ON
the negro question:
Who said that all men are created equal?
Thomas Jefferson, the father of Democra-
cy.
Who gave the negroes the right of suf-
frage in New York? The Democratic Par
ty.
Who presided over the Convention which
gave this privilege to negroes? Martin Van
Buren, Democrat
Who afterwards elected Martin Van Bu-
rem to the Presidency. The Democratic
Party.
Who married a negro woman, and by her
had mulatto children? Richard MI. John
son, good Democrat
Who elected Richard M. johnson Vice
President of the United States2 The Dem
ocratic Party.
Richard NJ johnson had become President,
who would have become the Democratic mis-
tress OF the White House? The same ne
gro woman.
Who made the negro citizen of the State
of Maine! The Democratic Party.
Who enacted similar law in Massachu-
setts2 The Democratic Party.
w ho permitted every colorod person
owning $3.50 in New York to become vo-
ter? A General Assembly, purely Demo
cratic
Who repealed the laws of Ohio which re-
quired negroes to give bonds and security
before settling in that State The Demo
cratic Party.
Who made mulattoes legal voters i'm
Ohio? A Democratic Supreme Court, of
which Reuben Wood was Chief Justice.
What became of Reuben Wood2 The
Democratic Party elected him Governor three
times and he is still leader Of the Demo
cratic Party.
Who helped to give free negroes the right
to vote in Tennessee, under her constitution
of 1852 General jackson.
Was@General jackson good Democrat3
He generally passed as such.
Who, with the above facts, and many 9TH
ers, staring them in the face, are continual
ly whining about negro suffrage" and ne
gro equality2' The Democratic Party.
Such is the record of the party whose cry
is, Rally for the White mans Govern
ment,n in PENNSYLVANIA,

DEMOCRATIC PLANS FOR BREAK
ING UP THE UNION.

Mr.. Buchanan had formally declared, in
his Message of December, 1860, that there
was no Constitutional right of secession
His party thereup0n commenced to agitate
plans BY by which the South could becoax-
secede should be legalized. The most noto-
rious of these schemes was that introduced
into Congress by Mr.. Vallandigham, propo-
sing q constitutional amendment By which
the Union should be peacefully divided, ~
follows:
ssArticle XIII. Section |. Tbs United
States are divided into four sections, as fol-
lows:
