Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1868-06-01

VII, ch. 81, that as well Justices OF
Assise. as Justices Of Peace without any
finding o. prssentmeBt By the verdict Of
twelve men1, upon q bare information
for the King before them made, should
have full power, and authority by their
discretions to heare, and determine all
offences, and cohtempts committed or
done by any person. or persons against
the form, ordinance and effect Of any
statute made, and not repealed, etc. By
colour of which act, shaking this fu1da-
. mental Law, it is not credible what hor-
rible expressions, aud exaoti0ns, to the
undoing Of infinite Numbers Of people,
were committed by Sir Richard Empson,
Knight, and Edm. Dudley, being JUS
tees OF the Peace, throughout England
and upon this unjust and Injurious act
as commonly in like cases il falleth
out), 3 new ofhee was erected, and they
made masters OF the Kings forfeitures.
But at the Parliament, holden in the
first year of Henry VIII, this act OF IL
II. Z, is recited, and msde void and re-
pealed, and the reason thereefis yielded,
for that by force of the said act, 1t was
manifestly known, that many sinister,
and crafty, feigaed, and forged inf1rma-
tions, pGrsued sgsinst divers OF the
kings subjeets,t to their great damage,and
wrongful vexation, and the iii-sueeess
hereof, and the fearful ends OF these two
opprsasors, should deterre Others from
committing the like, and should admon-
ish ParIiaments, that instead OF this OF
binary, aud pretious trial per tegeD1
terra, they bring not Ia absolute, and
partisl trials by discretien.p
These were the principles Of the old
English liberty. Such was the atnaos-
pnere which Burke and Chatham
breathed, and in it grew great and strong,
"a Holt. and Hale, and Somers and
Camden had done. II ison the miasma
that p-oisonously exhales from the body
Doiitic. when the inteFnsl disease is out
wardly manifested by Military Commits
sions and Illegal seizures, arrests and
trials and viilainOus impsRehments, that
the Stevenses, Batlers, B0utWells and
Biughams thrive.
1t was charged, during Jul civil war,
that a hideous and disgusting disease
was intentionally communicated to men
and women, by vaccine matter taken
from patients known to be infected.
The innocent victims rotted, like Herod
and Louis Ky, before they died. So ia
cabonism has infected ten States with
the poison of despotie power, e~nslaving
the people, and teaching those among
them who love Office and profit better
than honour, how to truekle and become
renegades and ~spostates.
or course there are men who desire
the reinstatement in power Of the DEM
oerstic party, in order that they may
personally profit by it. These, il it
should succeed, would undoubtedly wish
to prescribe all who had not Of old been
of the Democratic fold. Men are not
angels; and the bad must be used by the
statesman as well IS the good. But why
can you not, in common charity aud
Justice, believe that the mass Of the
Conservatives Of Tennessee have no
such desires or purposes, and retaining
none of the ~aninosities engendered by
the war, desire q union OF hearts as
wen IS hands, OF all who dread the
further success of Jacobinism, for the
single purpose of rsseuing and saving
the country
Believe this or not. as you may, it Is
true. The numbar Of those Conserva-
tives who will work with any expecta-
ton or Gesire OF reward, other than the
welfare Of the country, is insignificant !
and there are very many who erPect to
be ostraoissd when the victory shail have
been won anu whose zeal and ardour
this conviction in 40 degree diminishes
OF eools.
We Offer you ogr hands, with an hon
est purpose to serve snd save the eoun-
try. II you do not know and feel that it
Is in danger, gou are to be piLied. If you
do know it, andsre Indifferent to the re-
suit, or SO abjsely the slaves Of party or
Of your rrejndiees and passions, thatyou
viii not abandon those leaders whom
you surely cannot ether respect or trust
you are to he pitisd still more. You
have the destiny OF your State il your
own hands.
