Es- XsMrrcws. Of Michigan, on the Habea
Corpus Act.
Gar Washington correspondent, in hi
xisgzLsh announcing the passage of the
gEssess corpus act through the House o
Representatives spoke in high terms of the
ssseaa OF Hon, Julius c. Burrows, of Michi
ssn, 10 behalf of the bill. From the Cong,rs
aiNa1EG l2ecord we reproduce in full Mr.
Gar=G VS. remarks:
Mr. Speaker, the hour for argument ha!
yAassHf. / rise in tho closing moments o.
f1sos Debate but for single purpose The
ar es,fore the House has for it's object tho
projection of the lives, the liberty and the
gtrtaerty of American CitizenS--uothiDg
saBra.
mere is at this time in portion of the
sanAstry a disturbed condition of affairs and
r5i4s dill is intended to reach and remedy
dat ss0ndition. But we are told 4y, and
6haGe heard it repeatedly charged on the
dsar OF this House, that the federal govern
meet ander the administration of the Re-
9gbllcan party is the guilty author of all
siassse dsltrages, of all this wrong, OF all this
a.sseecution at the South. 1t is to this, and
os this only, desire to direct my reply. Sir
d uEsy be permitted to say also that l am
sDcs,1llpted to this reply in 10 small degree
o. Gite remarkable speech of my colleague
rRr- Willard, a speech delivered ia this
&Eoszse last evening, which do not believe
Eeaiects the sentiment Of the STATE whici, |
l3vs tho honor i'll part to Represent. He ad-
s4oaished US tina decade had passed since
dlf3 cessation of armed hostiit ies without
1rsHGsng to the country harmony and
pG.aca, aud then proceeds to arralgn the
Republican party as the author Of this lis.
e.auteut. 1t is true, sir. a full decade has
EEae by since the overthrow OF armed re
sissauce to federal authority; yet il is past
contradiction that in many portions OF tho
s3aIrh there has not been an hour since of
substantial peace, not a moment when the
sassred right Of life, liberty, or property has
tssa.ai either respected or secure. Wrongs
stEe most cruel, ostracism the most maglig.
Ixaut4 crimes the most revolving. revolutions
Sha most uDpruvoked, consprecies the
AaI,st LnOnstrUus. prosecutions the most re
laAeI&ss, riots the most bloody, and murder
i,Iaat foul, have characterized this era of
Southern repentance and returning loyalty.
SIR, 4 am fearful, if the history OF the
2s0SI % for the last ten years could be writ
oeI IN all it's horrible details, it would pre-.
tflf annals of tbs civilized world. Where
'.tscs the responsibility for this rest9 Who
IL gtHa author of these unblushing crimesl
stsssa3 are pertinent inquiries. These are
lnstatsons for US to answer before We can
aSSpsy the proper remedy. Is 1t the federal
government, or the white mans party Of
sate South, aided by Northern Democracy,
zgilsGh has brought upon the South ali her
ssss,ss
Although it is admitted that this disorder
lss confined entirely to the Southern States,
VS1 sSre nevertheless told that the South is /!
ga CAs way responsible far il; that the South |
5zss accepted the situation in good faith; |
1Gh that the federal government under |
OF the Republican party has been !
sS,s. ~ an instrument of uubridled tyranny.
No words OF Genurciation are too severe. |
,ta language too bitter and Incorporate, no |
too terrible to tiily characterize |
1ne federal government i'll its dealings with |
a4ts fate rebellious States. while at the same |
,tss-e the people who were lately in arms
iss-NsgEst the government are paraGcd as ex.
.faptDs of patient suffering and heroic en-
sarRBce worthy the imitation Of MARTYRS.
