THE Constitution of the United
States declares article /, section 8,
that, 'tThe privilege of the writ of ha-
beas corpus shall not be suspended,
unless when in case of rebellion or in
vasion, the public safety may require
it." a.a 5tff-, ,f-7l. .,i .l4.s,
Il There is not in all the length aud
breadth of the land anything that can
by any possibility be construed into
rebellion or Invasion; yet Grant and
his henchinen worked with might
and main to secure the continuance of
this dcspotic power, and threatened
to call Congress together in extra ses-
sion if it adjourned without re-en-
acting this arbitrary measure. Can
there be any doubt as to tie purpose
of Grant TO secure n further lease of
power by the employment of bayo-
nets and Calling guns to thwart the
people in their free choice There
was time when such an infamous
proposition would have been spurn-
ed by the people with the indignation
and contempt it deserves, but that
was before they had become familiar
lied with executive usurpation and
tyranny. Have we forgotten the max
i'm that "eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty ?" ,l...3.. 4nl
THE Radical papers used 10 speak
affectionately or "Fighting Joe Hook

'sbloat, braggart and lunatIc."

down upon the animal, infiicting in
juries upon him from which he died
a few hours after.-A kron Beacon.

on the morning of the 25tll inst. The
engine jumped the track, carrying
death and fearful torture TO scores OF
passengers. Seventeen persons were
killed outright. and fifty others Sc
verely wounded, twelve of whom
have since died. The killed and
wounded were mostly second-class
passengers. The scene is described
as horrible beyond description.

IF, as the GRANTEES pretend the
speech of Senator Sumner will help
their chief by inducing many to vote
for him who Wonld not otherwise do
so, why don't all their papers publish
it? and why don't their committees
get up and circulate millions of col
les of the speech among the people
If-it.is. such an excellent Radical cam
paign document they cannot in any
other way do Grant so great service.

from the old Know Nothing speeches
of Henry Wilson, in Massachusetts,

will be of any account in this election,

these extracts: .,e, s.sss1st

Davis Bail,

A good deal is now SAID felatlVe 10

severe ON Greeley for figuring at the
end of that document, and the ques-
ton naturally arises as to what COM
pany he kept upon that occasion y
Below we find list of his fellow
bondmen, four of whom are New
Workers, the rest being Southern.
Among these New York people,
first comes Gerritt Smith, of Peter
boro-one of the early abolitionists
who was charged with completely i'll

Republican member of Congress of
the most Radical type, and the Chair
man of the New York delegation to
the Philadelphia Convention which
nominated Grant. Augustus Schell,
a Democratic politician, Benjamin
Wood, also Democratic politician,
and Horace T.. Clark, delegate along
with Gerritt Smith. in the Philadel-
phia Convention, previously lsadi-
cal member of Congress, and holding
an Office at Washington under Grant.
Here is the whole list; so far as
northern men are concerned, il ap-
pears to be mixed one-both parties
being fairly divided the Republicans
having majority of one out of five
as parties then stood; as they stand
now they are two Greeley men, two
Grant men, and one Democrat.

Senator Morton approached DEM
ocratic Member of Congress immedi-
ately after the nomination of Greeley
and Brown and wanted TO know how,
upon any plea of consistency, the
Democrats could support any such
ticket as that, if endorsed at Balti-
more? The reply was: "Upon the
same principle that the Republican
party supported you-although up to
that time you had always been DEM
ocrat-when you ran for Lieutenant
Governor of Indiana in 1856. When
you tell us how your party supported

absence of horses on the streets, to-day is
noted. OF course the extreme cold has
much to do with it, but it is believed that
''old zoot is the principal offender. He
certainly has got pretty extensive hold
here, though not very dangerous one.
Kerr X Wright have commenced using
their horses, which were first taken sick,
and all other stable proprietors are exer-
eising their animals in the street This
morning five men were seen hauling a load
OF coal in Market Square, and it is nothing
unusual to see men going after coal with a
box between them, The mail is trans
ported between the railroad depots and the
post office in hand carts; and passengers
baggage between hotels and depots on
wheelbarrows However, we have no cause
for grumbling, as many of the sick horses
are convalescing, and not one has died.
The disease will soon wear itself out.

of mankind The white haired patriarch Whose
life of temperance has rendered his system imper-
vious TO the attacks of other ills and whose good
deeds prepared him for the enjoyment Of life's

upon his vitals. and tearing him from world ever

Consumption, in its confirmed and incipient
