Secession rnush, by the Tribune.

HORACE GREELEY. of the New York
Tribune, having been taken to task ny
some Of his political associates Tor
having taught the doctrine Of secession,
reiterates his belief as follows:
What we did believe and maintain lu
the premises is the doctriue tcrscly set
for by Jefferson in the Declaration of
American Independence follows:
We hold these truths To he srlrcvi-
dent: That all men are created equal ;
thatthey are endowed by their Creator
with, certain iHalieHabo rights that
among these are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. That, to secure
these rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just pewers
from the consent of the governed that
whenever any form of government be
comes destructive OF these ends il is the
right of the people to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute a new government.

Now that doctrine may be answered.
as Hobbies, and Dr. Sam. johnson. and
other great men, have held and
taught; and, if We should ever be con
vinced that they are right. we sball
publicly confess and recaut our error
As yet, however, We bold with Jefferson
aud the Continental Congress; and if
they were right, and their fundamental
assumption justified the Declaration of
Independence which they based thereon,
we cannot see why a larger number of
people inhabiting the Southern States

because Of their almost universal ac-
by the whole American people;
and now, the very men who argued not
only that the South had the right, but
that she ought to secede, are foremost
among those who are clamoring for the
imposition of punishment upon the peo-
pie whom they deceived. The Tribune
joins in the cry, and wants to persecute
and oppress the South until they de-
grade themselves ly bestowing suffrage

The most important legal decision that
has been rendered during the past five
Years was made recently by Judge MEL
SON of the United States Supreme
Court, in the matter of JAMES EGAN, OF
South Carolina, prisoner in the Albany
penitentiary, who was brought before
the Judge on writ of Hdbeds Corpus.
EGNN is man about eighty years of
age, and citizen of the State OF South
Carolina. He never was engaged in the
military service, either OF the United
States or of the Confederate or State gov
erement In the latter part of Septem,
Der, 1866, seven months after the sur
render of the rebel armies and the ces-
sation of the war, Mr.. EGAN, acting in
self defence shot and killed a 6egro He
was arrested by the military forces OF
the United States connected with the
Freedmen's Bureau, tried by board OF
officers claiming to act under martial
law" and was sentenced TO imprlson'
ment for life in the New York State
peuitentiary The sentence was APP
proved by General SICKLEs and EGAN
was iucarcerated III pursuance of the
edict Recently a writ of haJcd' corpus
was obtained ia his behalf and he was
brought before Judge NELSON for exam
nation This is, as we understand IT,
brief history Of the case. The ques,
ton was whether or not the conviction
and punishment of EGAN could be- mp
held by reas III Of the authority known
as martial law
Judge NELSON decided that martial
law"is, in reality, no law at all, bnt
simply the viii Of the commanding Off
GER. regulated by 10 known or eStah
lished system or code. This being the
case, martial law could only be tolerated
in case Of necessity, and that when the
necessity ceased, martial law also ceased
This necessity must he shown afima'
lively by the party assuming to ever
disc this extraordinary power. In the
case Of EGAN, no necessity for the cX.
ercise of martial law was shown. il
arose seven months after the cessation
of the war and when the civil courts OF
South Carolina, which bad the prope,
Jurisdiction, were in full and uu,hNtruct
ed operation. There was therefore M
rightful Authority in The military court
to try or punish the prisoner, MARTA
law having ceased ohcn Tie necessity
for its exercise passed away. EG'N
was Immediately discharged
Judge NEIs6N is oro of the ahlrst OF
the Justices Of The Supreme Court, and
his opinions are entitled to more weight

sociates upon the bench The decision he
has just rendered stands as the Las "t

d" Unconditional Union"

The idea Of unconditional Union, which
was such talisman during the war, aud
such a rallyiug cry forpatriotism. is now
a perfect plague to the Radicals They
are for almost anything but an uncon-
ditisnal restoration Of the Union, rhad:
Stevens says he would as leave have the
small pox as be an unconditional Union
man Circumstances alter cases As
before the war the Radicals proclaimed
the Union and the Constitution to he =
league with he'll and covenant with
death, 81 new they regard unconditional
Union as sort OF mortal and political
smallpox. They are, therefore, trying
to iuaugurate another irrepreSsible con.
tlict, which may involve the whole North
in a bloody civil war Robert Dale
Owen. one Of the Radicals, says it is
folly to suppose that the North will
pelceahly submit 10 an unconditional
