No Suspension Of the Habeas Corpus.

:.
We }are., pleased to SEQ that the
Joint Resolption introduced Into tlT
ttI House by one Webb, Of GEORGETOWN
for the suspension Of the Hb6eas CorPn :!
in the counties of Laurens, AbbevilIy
Newberry and Edgefeid, after being
iavorably reported upon by the Com
mtteo on tho Judiciary, has bcen
indefinitely postponed. To one who is
familiar with the condition of things
in these Districts, it is matter OF
surprise that such u resolution received
any consideration at all. Suspend the
writ Of Ho6cas Corpus! the great
safeguard of personal liberty, which
is so jcalously guarded by the vigi
lance of the English law! Wha,
great exigcncy called for so extreme q
measure ? Certainly mono of those
which oro contemplated by Section
18th, Article 1st. Of the New Consti.
tuition, which directs that the privi.
lege Of the writ Of Habras Corpus
shall not be suspended except when
in case of instruction, rebellion O,
invasion, the public safety may require
it." If there bo insurrection: rebel.
ion or invasion in tho counties of
Lalrens, Abbeville, Ncwbcrry OF
Edgcfcld, it viii certainly be news to
our people. They were never more
quiet or orderly.

he could not have voted, I believe he
withheld his voto for tho express pur
pose of making capital out Of it.
