The Captain General Of CASTLE has is
sued proclamation in which be says
81 declare that will inflict the punish
ment Of death-1, on any person who shall
edit, write or print clandestine papers
against religion, the Queen, her dynasty,
public order, the security of the State, or
the obedience of the army; 2, on any per-
son who shall aid intellectually, materially
or pecuniarily in the execution of such
publications. Every person caught in the
act will be carried before a court martial,
which viii at once proceed to pass sentence
on the prisoner eonformable to the terms Of
this proclamation"
The suppression of the freedom of
speech and Of the press is one Of the in
variable resources Of tyranny in all ages
and in all countries IL was for this
reason that the founders Of free institu-
tons in America were careful to guard
and protect these bulwarks of public lib
erty in double armor They provided in
the constitution of the United States:
Congress shall make no law abridging
the freedom of speech, or the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to assemble,
and to petition the government fora redress
of grievance"
In our own State constitution it is fur
Their ordered
That the printing presses shall be free
to every person who undertakes TO examine
the proceedings of the Legislature, OF of
any branch or officer of the government ;
and no law shall ever be made to restrain
the right thereof The free communication
of thoughts and opinions, is one of the in
valuable rights of man, and every citizen
may freely speak, write, and print on any
subject, being responsible for the abuse Of
that liberty"

THE Chinese puzzle, is the South in or
out of the Union, and did rebellion sus-
pend, destroy, or not al all affect the State
conditions and rights of the members of
the defunct Confederacy? will soon, we
hope, receive an authoritative solution.
That combination of land and people ruled
by Governor Throckmorton, and claiming
to be the State of Texas, has begun an
action in the United States Supreme Court
to recover one hundred thousand dollars
worth of Texan indemnify bonds, alleged
to be still the property of the common
wealth, but improperly obtained by parties
in the North from a military board in thai
State during the rebellion. The fact of
recovery wholly hinges upon the question,
has Texas the existence and powers of a
State or not? This method is exactly the
right one. 1t takes the matter of statehood
out of the hands of politicians aud places
it before The Supreme Court. whose decision
cannot but have weight, if not with the
present, certainly with future Congresses.

JUDGE CoMsTocK, Of New York, form
srly q prominent Republican, has written a
letter in regard 10 the military reoonstruc-
ton scheme of Congress. He declares
that in wiping ont the governments of the
Southern States, the Radicals leave the
question Of slavery as il stood at the close
of the war, for its abolition and its future
prohibition were accomplished through
the sanction Of the States whose govern
msnts are now declared to have been, since
the war, illegal The Judge recommends
the Southern States 70 pursue a policy Of
mastery inactivity, and trust to the re-
turning reason of the North for the resto-
ration of the republican liberty which the
bill denies. He says the Radical party
cannot maintain themselves on platform
in direct conflict with the constitution, and
he recommends the South to take no hand
in oyerlhrowing that instrument

CONSERVATIVES UNION STATE CON-
VENVTnN

The question whether the Radical oli-
Qarrhists in this State shall retain the
power which official station conlsrs, with
ont opposition, has been decided by the
Conservative Representatives. in ourIegis-
laturr. After mature deliberation, these
gentlemen have arrived at the conclusion
that the perpeuation Of constitutional
liberty IA this country, on which depends
the peace, prosperity and happiness Of
the people, is worthy of an effort on the
part Of It's true friends They accord
indy cal upon the people to unite with
them in that effort, and recommend the
holding Of State Convention to
select a candidate for Governor, and to
perfect such organization as will most
eonduee to HE election, for Tuesday the
10th day of April next in this city
This step imposes grave RESPONSE
hility on those who have taken it, and
those who may unite with them in pur,
suingit Under the circumstances which
surround the public affairs of the State
aud the republic, this step would not
have been taken, if there had appeared
any other practicable means to preserve
in its purity and to transmit unimpaired
the inestimabe heritage Of liberty regu-
lated BIZ law The inyasions and spolia-
tiuns of this cherished inheritance have
already been violent and great The
labor Of restitution and preservation will
bee equally great But the reward of
success will be greater than all We
have no light task before az. Its per
Torrance viii require all Of the prudence,
caution, hrmness, endurance and self
sacrifice that it is in nature, stimulated
by exalted patriotism, 10 afford The
contest will doubtless be warm-the utter
antagonism between the ideas advanced
aud the principles to be decided will
make it sharp and clearly defined We
will be bjected to misconstruction, abuse
and denunciation; but these never made
country and can never preserve one.
If there is anything in the government
worth preserving, it is its foundation
principles-its organism IL is for these
We contend A free ballot is their citadel
and safety II that is denied it is a
mockery-and the government which en-
forces such denial is a despotsm, by
whatsoever name IL may be called, or by
whatsoever hands itmay beadministered
Let but these sentiments prevail among
the people AS convictions, and if they love
our country and its institutions all will

We trust the people will promptly
second the cali Of the Conservative mem

delegates to the proposed convention, of
intelligence, influence and worth--men of
virtue, courage and sound Judgment
The first Monday in Aprt, being the term
day of the Quarterly Courts, viii afford
convenient occasion Tor holding pri.
mary meetings and the appointment of

appointed from all the counties on that
