Tbe pablication of the addrees ot Vice Praii- - dent Stephcbs tlii morning, excludes our an- - nal van. y It has been anxiously looked for, however, and will be read with interest and profit. FftoTi jifi.Tiruis. We have newspaper intelligenca to the 17ih, tao Argus of tbit date having reaohej as. We ga'.b;r from its eolnmns that tLe gTosaest trands were trscucej at the late election by the Johrkok wing cf the Abolitioniata. I', seems that in the city and county, independent of tbe Gciatantown piccirrct, the Liscolh Abolition candidates had abt-a- t two hnndred and cf.y tea- - j'wity. This it was supposed, geenrod their election, and the nexs was spread accordingly. Bui the returns !ro Gsrmantcwn had baen withheld, and when finally bfonght in, lo and behold, the Argus says "tbe precinct was made U poll eeven cr eight times its tunal vote," Dearly all for li e Jmis.-O- ticket, thui ejecting it. T1.it 5 is said to be honor among thieves, but it appears there is none betweeu Abolition isle. Information is also given of Ih? firing into the btr?m.ri on the liver, simiUr to that we publish elsewhere from the IlulltUa. The Argus says: "(cnte a na ruber of for- mer residents of this and adjoining Sou'thrn S.ates are making the r way north wa; J by the river. To-da- y a croird of the better class go up, who, weaned of the tumult and disorganiz- ¬ ing isflaences cf war, are determined on set- ¬ tling as far from its alarms as they can push cor inward." We aWjaaaJ ihe ilvrr, cotton and money re- ¬ ports of the Argus : The Bivbii Our port was literally crowded with boats yester jay, and the landing was busy as a bee hive. We have not seen so bosy a day there as yesterday was for mo itbs past. The liver is slowly rising not ao rapidiy, however, as tor some days past. The weather, since onr last issue, has been variable, accompanied with much wind, which nudegetticg tvboat extremely dteagrecab.e. Cotton There was quite a commotion in the coiton market the upshot of the news torn tbe East, which, np to the 1 1th, was ci a downward cast We beard of some sales, how- ¬ ever, but at prices so radical, compared with the ruling rates of Saturday, that we refrain for the present from making onr usual quota- ¬ tions.

Nenhera Ferliaic. Tho Mobile TnbuM has received a copy cf the Njw York fitter, whit h contains an arlicie in lefts to a declaration in the Memphis Appeal that "the "jrth is unanuaotuly epposod to peace except by restoration." Tho .Vsasj eays this is not tme. I . is unquestionable that there is a de sire for restoration ; but the war Las been carried on so crutliy and iinp?lit;caiiy that the "p.tp'.s hops again: hapa fir restoration." Something of more importance than this is the question presented to the people, and that is as to bow they shall cave their own liberties that tho continuation of tho war is making the North a were military despotism, anl that thoughtful men are more engaged in discussing bow that shall be averted than to bring back the Sonth to its former association 'i'.-.- following is the closing paragraph ot the article i Tho South mnst be refined to us by compro- ¬ mise, or must establish its independence, or must be governed by a central m.litavy despotism. Having the privilege of ihiice, what freeman of the North, true to our Diission of repub.icati- - tp, wonid hesitate t decide i' favor of restora- tion by compromiser Thst failing, what free- ¬ man ct the North, ambitions to remain a free-¬ man, would hesitate hetwe n the acknowledg- ¬ ment of their indepocdenee and the establish- ¬ ment of tbtt military deepotum T Por. surely, tbe military power that holds the South in sub-- jecticn wih enthrall the North. Rather than be dependent upon t.,j a power, eta laving one section to enslave the other, better to have two republics, two nationalities of freemen, trusting to time.and the arbiier of destinies to remould them hereafter into one (7 We wtre unable to obtain a statement of the amount lundsd ia this city, last evening, the cfli.ters not having iheir accounts made np.

Tne act repealing the eubsti- - tu'e law bad been received, and ths authorities were governing themselves accordingly. No- ¬ tices also appear frem other offia, of the dif- ¬ ferent departments, showing that the machinery of Government was kept at work. The Teay.- - ,'." doea not contain a word of local or State news, or an- - thing in reference to tho move- ¬ ments of our forces. fif The Richmond zaussr of the 3tlh nlL, says that the $500 notes, the highest de- nomination authorised under the new issue law have been received at the treasury, and num- bered and signed to the amount of live or six millions. Tne notes are on fiuo paper and the bthegraphieg is very superior. The left hand face of the note is embellished with the fignM a 000" at the top, a representation of the old style Confederate flag, and beneath the national seal and mstto. On the right is the figure 600," and beneath a tolerable life like portrait of the late "Stonewall Jackson." ty The Mexican city correspondent cf the Loctiou Times, wrl:irg January 'JTth, ssyi: Messrs.

It lees's clear to my mind tLa but little difference can exist as toth nneonatllutiocalily of this Ute act. Tbe act provides for the evganlaing of troops of aa aaomalon, cbarac te- - partly as militia, aad part y as a portion of the reg lar armies. But, in fact, they are to be organuyl neither a militia nor part of the regular army.

' To tenure suocsss, brains mast do sosse thing as well as mu.kebt Of all the dangers that threaten onr ultimate success, I consider none more imminent than the policy embodied In this act, if th, object really be, as it broad terms de- clare, to put and keep ia active service all between the ages cf seventeen and fifty, except the exempts named. On that line we wits most usarediy, sooner or later, do what the enemy t.ever could do, coaqurr ourselves. And if such be not the object of the act tf It Is only intended lo conscript met not iu'ended fr service, not with a view lo fill the army, bat for the officials, to take charge of the general labor of th coon' ry and the ve- rt us nee-- - y avocations and poneits of life, then the act Is cot only wrong In principle but exceedingly dan- gerous lu Its taadeacy. 1 cotne, now, to the last of these acts cf Congress. The suspersion of the wiit of habeas oori ui in certain e.ises. This la the most er citing, as It Is by far the most Important question before yoo. Uson tbit depends the quoeiius, whether the ccurt eh all be permitted ta decide upon the of the late c nscript ad, vou submit tbat question to heir end u; it also dc; end ether great eafleatisl rights enjoyed by us an ueeuiea. Tbtoaet, upon ilaace, coalers apon tiie President, tbe Secretary of War, and tho General commau'ling in the department, (the two latter acting under the control asd authority of the i'i-- s dent) the power toanest and Imprison any person who may b- - situ, ly charge 1 with certain scti, not all of them even crimes under any law; and this is to be done without, amy oath or affirmation alleging probable cause as to thi guilt of the party. This is attempted to be done uaaer that clause of the Ucustitn iju, which an ibotix. Congress to guspen i th privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, in certain cased. In my judgment this act . not only unwise, impolitic and unconstitutional, ba- exceedingly dangerous lo public liberty. Its ucoonsutntionsiity doe not rest upon the idea thst Congress has not got the power lo sospsnd tbe privilege of this writ, nor upon the idea that tLe power to suspend It is au Implied on, or that clearly implied powers are weaker, as a class, ar J subordinate to others poeitively and directly dele- gated. I Uo not understand tb. Kxecutiv of this State to put his -- gumeat against th s act np m any such grcitads. Lis simp'y states a fat", as It meet dearly Is, tli th power to tu,,,nd at all la an implied power. There U uo positive, direct power delegated to do it. The power, however, is clear,anJ clear only by impure Hon The language of the Cuusiitutlon, that "the priv ilege of the writ f habeas corpus shall nut be suspend- ed utile s, when lo cases of rebellion or iuvssioa, the public safety may require it," clearly expresses th In- tention tht tbe power may be exercised in be cxaas stted : but it doss so by implication oaly, j tat a If mother should say to her daughter, you snail not go aides you ride, liere the permission and authority to go is clearly given, though by inference and implication only. It is not positively aad dlrecUy given. This, and this only. 1 understand the governor to mean when he speaks of tbe power being au implied one. He raises n quest o , as to the existeuce of the power, or lie va- lidity when rightfully exercised, but he maintain al I do. that lis exere so most be eoatrolted by all other re- strictions in the ConsUtuti on bearing upon it exerei.e. Tv.--i of these are to be found In the words accompany- ing thedal-gatitt- n. It can never be exercised except ha rebellion or Invasion. Other restriction are to be found ia other parts of the Constitution. In the amendments to the Constitution adopted ftr the rsiidcatl .n of tL- - word as above qioted These amendments were made, as fa expressly declared in th preamble to tbem, to add "turlLsr declaratory aad re- strictive clauses," lo prevent raiscucstructlon or abase of the eiowers previously delegalad. To understand all the restrictions, therefore, thrown around tbe exer- - cise of thb power In the Const! un.u. these additional "retricUv clauses'' must be . ead ia c mj unction wi h the . if ma. grant whether that was made post lire. y sa l directly, or by implication only. Thee lua'.ruc- tioas, among other things declare, that "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty ur property wl heat due process el lew. and that "the right of the people to be secure in the.r person, ho tee, papers end erf-el- afralnst unreasonable searches and s. ixuree shall not be v.olated, end no warrant shall Issue but upon probabls cause, supported by oath or affirmaUoa, and particu- larly describing tbe place to be searched, and the person or thi--- to be seized.' All admit that under the dtu as it stands in th original gran, wiih th restrictions there set forth, th powervaabs righlfoly exercised only in ca of re- bel-io- or lnvaai o. With these additional clause, pat in as further restriction t prevent the abas of pow- ers previously delegated, how is this claaas, conferring the power La snsueud th privilege of the writ of ha baas corpus cow to be read Ia this way, aad in this way only. 'The privilege of the writ of habeas cor- pus shall not bv suspended, unless when ha cases of re- bellion or invasion the public safety may r quire It." A d lo person "thai be deprived of life, liberty, or propeny, withoutdue procea or law.

The attempted exercise of the t ower to suspend the privilege of tae writ of habeas orpns in this act U In utter disregard, in tbe very fa and teeth ef these re- atrirtl mid. as much to as a like attempt ia time of pro- found peace would be In di. regard cf the restrictions to cases ol rebellion ana invasion, aa toe consnmuon was originally adopted.

This, by the Constitution, never can be done. Ours b not only government of limited powers, but each department, legislative, executive, indicia!, are separate and duttne'. Thelssulngof warrant,, winch are nothing but fur arrests against civilians or persons In civil life, U a Indicia! function.

This act at- tempts to clothe alas with judicial function, anJ, in a judicial cha ac er, to ao wnat no judge, uaaer the vkm- - siltution, can do issue orders or wnrrant for arrest, by which persons arc to be deprived of their liberty, im-- piisoued, immured in dungeons, ft may be without ny oatn or affirmation, even at to the probabl gain oi tne party accused or charged wltb any of the ofleate or actastated.

This privilege only can be rnt- - ; tided, aad not th writ Itself, The words of the Cocstltottoo are aptly chosen to express tbe purpose and extert to which a suspension en go in that conn- - try. With tali view, the power b a wise on. It can work no serious injury to the cititeu, and I; suffiebntiy guard the public .safety.

The eonseqaence of say other view of th subject are Ap- parent. The exercise of the power by Congress may be. either general or Hurl ted to special cases, a ia tola Instance. If t bad bean general under any other view, what would nave been the condittoa of every rtlxen In the land f The weaker would have been completely In the power of the etroager wttbout power or redress. Any one la the community might seize, for any motive or any purpose, any other, and corns him moat wrongfully end shamefu. y. Oomb.natiaaa of several agalutt a few ruight be formed for a Ilk pur- pose, and there weald be no remedy or redress against this specie of licensed lTrlstaeis Tbe court would be closed an personal security and personal safety would be swept away. Instead of aland of laws, th, whole c untry would be no better than a WLit-- f iars do'ttaia s perfect AItalia. Thit- - would be the iasvitab'e effect of the exercise of the power, by general suspension, with toy other view of the tun than this piaavnted. The tame effects as to out- rages np.-- personal rights matt Issue under a liailted Suspension ecnfloed to any t. eeifled cat's under any o her view. No inch huge anal enormous wrongs can evar spring from the Contltatlon if it b rightly ad- ministered. So that the coaclusioa of tho whale mtt ter it well stated by the governor in his late uesaage, in the brief, comprehensive, but exact terms "The aly suspension of th privilege of the writ of habeas corpus known to onr Constitution and compatible with the pro, already quoted, goea to tbe limple ex- tent of preventing the re'ae. under it, of whose ai rest btve beea ordered, under constitutional warrant from judicial authority.' On this subject much light Is to be derived from Eng- lish history. Our whole system of coustltut osmI liberty rest upoa priueiples established by our Antrio-Saxo- n ancestor.. Bat between tbeir system and ours, there are several differences that thoetd be noted tod marked and none more striking and fundament thaa the difference between tbe two upon thb sabeet With them the right of personal security against legal tr- - rests, was wrested from the Crown by Me Parliament, and eatabiLahed Ly magna chart, the bill of rights, tbe abolition of the star chamber, and the grant of the writ of habeas corpus which b the means cf redress against violations of taw, aad other wrongs against rights secured aad acknow' edged. In the audition of the court of star chamber, the power was taken from the King hit heirs aad successors forever, aad every member of I is privy council, to make any arrest of any person for any offense or alleged crime, except by dae process of law. By this act, the power of the King to Issue warrants or orders or arrest, unsupported by oath or affirmation, tetting forth probable cause, which be- fore, had been claimed aa royal prerogative, was taken away from him and hb soccesaors forever. Th ruling monarch, Claries I, gave hi esas-- nt to the act aad yielded the power. He afterward btok hb pledge. Civil commotions ensued frem this and of er came He lost hit head upon the block. Tbe subsequent history of tha! strife between the people and i he Crown of England, on thb and other matters b not bow pertinent to tbe object before us. Suffice It to say that it ceded in the settbment as it Is termed between the Parliament and their new sovereigns William aad Mary ia lti&s-- f 9 In this settlement, all the a dent rights and liberties' of the English people itclud.ng the right of the writ ef habeas corpus, were reaffirmed and secured. Such were the lined lea inner ited a a birth righ that onr British ancestors brought with them to Ibis cootlxteot. Th principle establish- ed In Eaguand, af er centuries of struggle and blood, formed the basis npon which the great structure of American constitutional 'lberty was erected. Bat the striking difference between Lai.- system and ears to which I have alluded and which should never be lost tight f, is that with them, til power origlnaify belong- ed to the Crown. Ad rights and liberties were grants from th Crown to the Parl ment, nnd through tbem to the people, while with at a power originally be- longed to the peoples and essential v, still resides with tbem. They have appointed agent to perform the function of Government ta the dlTcrol departments, executive, judicial and tagtalative. under the form of Government aet forth In tbe Coatttltntioa. ciothtd with the exercta of certain delegated, tpecitiic and iira. . powers. In king land it b competent for tbe Parliament at any time to return th Crown all th powers hereto, fore extorted from their king. They ore net restrained as oar Congress Is, by a want of power to do so on their port They can repeal any day magna chart, the babe corpus act and the whole bill of rguts. aad render tbe ruling monarch as absolute a either of the Tu.lora or Stuarts ever claimed or wished to be. Tbe principles of mag cuana aa to personal liberty anal the right ef the writ of habeas corpus to secure tho rights are pot In our fundamental lews, and eaanet be v.olated by Congress, for their power are limited, and they re themaelvei bound by tbe ConsKltntiou. That the Brittab people would ever submit to a surrender of th-l- r rights by Parliament, no one can for moment believe. Bat Parliament claim to be omnipotent and oonld make the surrender, if they chose to run th risk. Heace analogies between tbit con - try tod that oa the suspension of the writ of babe corpus aud the etf-- ct of such suspension, either generally or specially, hon!d be closely scanned; even In England, ao great is the re- gard for liberty, easpeneiose have been rar aiaee the settlement ef ltlSS VJ. The writ was aus pended there in 1715 and la 1745 and In 17s." it was Baspeadod iu Ireland with tbe power conferred on the lord lieutenant to make Coder tee ays tern of government In d, the Par lament cool I confer thb power upon the Crown or tbe lord lieutenant, or upon any other person tbey saw fl i. Not so with onr C egress, under our Ceosfituttee. Is crittotara apoa th governor's message, these suspensions have beea alioded to gala.t the p?t tlont of the message. They are not la conflict at all. What tbe governor state ts tbtt be b not aware of any "instance In which the British Rang has ordered the arrest of any person ia civil if In any other anonaer than by juthrial warrant issued by the established courts of the nation, or in which Le has suspended or attempted to suspend the p- ivflege of the writ of habeas rpus. since the bill ot rights and tne act ef - "uncut pasted in ." He did not sty that Parltam.ut h.ui not suspended it. or that our Coner-.- s coald not suspend it, in a proper way, but that eveo in England, where Parliament was unrestrain- ed, they hod not, sioc, tne settlement ccnterreu upon the Crown, the power to make arrests, so far as be was swore. At this point I will briefly refer to tbe suspension by onr Congress, alluded to the other night by tht dasUu- - gaiahed gentleman. (Hon. A. H. Keenaa,) who lately represented this dletrict ; a gentleman whose remarks I i Loaned to with a great deal of interest, an 1 wh a pr- - tonal fiiendship I esteem so highly. He referred te the act of the confederate uo agrees, pasted ucooer li, lr' e. end atked Why were there no objeeUoa mad to thst t This Ml he read. J have II bet ore me. It provides that that "President, daring the prevent lava- - sioa, shall have tbe power tbe privilege of th writ of habeas corpus In any eity town, or military district, whenever, ia bis jadgsteat, the pabuc tafety may require it; bat such a us pension ahull apt ly only to made by ths authorities ef the Confederate Government, or .or offense against the same, aad in section 3d. that "the President shall cause proper offi- cer lo investigate the c es of it person to arrested, tn order that they may be discharged If improperly de- tained, unless if 'v can be speedily tried in doe course of law." Th' limit th act to thirty days after the meeting of tbe next Congrem, The answer to the lnqairy, why theie wa, no noiae made about tbit act, wtuto there Is so much made about tbe one lately ptated 1, two-fold-. Ia th first place, thb act applied " oaly to ar roots made by ibe antiiori- - tiee of the Coafed.rat 1itrrnmet'' for offenses gainst the same." Tbe proper authorities for Issuing warrants to arrest are the courts, whose duly it b to Issue warrants for arreata whenever offenses or crime are charged open oath or affirmation, stating proa bit euie. The tee ion directing th Prestd nt to cause " proper officer to luveatlgate th cose," ete , tn Its imatedtate connection wi b tba proceeding, bed no bug in it calculated to awken, aiartu or excite ct jtctloa. for by "proper officers- - all nttartily supposed jadi.al oaV cers oaly could be moauijudgea who won dor might act la discharging under writs of habeas corpus, If that privilege bad not been suspended. In thb connection, these words teemed naturally enough to nave a mean ing far different from what they have when taken from iheir eoatext and put Into this late act, In which It b clear enough tbey are there intended to apply to other than judicial officer. There was then, nor new, any objeetiua, at far as 1 am aware of, to the suspension of the privilege of th writ uf habeas corpus in any city, town, or district, or generally thro if hoat the country, if Congress really hat good reasons to believe tbe pub- - Re safety require it, and If the power to - be constitutionally exercised. Tbe objection to tbe late act b, that it attempts ta de what cannot co jstitution- ally be done.

MR RTKPHIIts' U'KkCII.Tbe pablication of the addrees ot Vice Praii- -

dent Stephcbs tlii morning, excludes our an- -

nal van. y It has been anxiously looked for,however, and will be read with interest andprofit.

FftoTi jifi.Tiruis.We have newspaper intelligenca to the 17ih,

tao Argus of tbit date having reaohej as.We ga'.b;r from its eolnmns that tLe gTosaest

trands were trscucej at the late election by theJohrkok wing cf the Abolitioniata. I', seemsthat in the city and county, independent of tbeGciatantown piccirrct, the Liscolh Abolitioncandidates had abt-a-t two hnndred and cf.y tea- -

j'wity. This it was supposed, geenrod theirelection, and the nexs was spread accordingly.Bui the returns !ro Gsrmantcwn had baenwithheld, and when finally bfonght in, lo andbehold, the Argus says "tbe precinct was madeU poll eeven cr eight times its tunal vote,"Dearly all for li e Jmis.-O- ticket, thui ejectingit. T1.it 5 is said to be honor among thieves,but it appears there is none betweeu Abolitionisle.

Information is also given of Ih? firing intothe btr?m.ri on the liver, simiUr to that wepublish elsewhere from the IlulltUa.

The Argus says: "(cnte a na ruber of for-

mer residents of this and adjoining Sou'thrnS.ates are making the r way north wa; J by theriver. To-da- y a croird of the better class goup, who, weaned of the tumult and disorganiz- ¬

ing isflaences cf war, are determined on set- ¬

tling as far from its alarms as they can pushcor inward."

We aWjaaaJ ihe ilvrr, cotton and money re- ¬

ports of the Argus :

The Bivbii Our port was literally crowdedwith boats yester jay, and the landing was busyas a bee hive. We have not seen so bosy a daythere as yesterday was for mo itbs past. Theliver is slowly rising not ao rapidiy, however,as tor some days past. The weather, since onrlast issue, has been variable, accompanied withmuch wind, which nudegetticg tvboat extremelydteagrecab.e.

Cotton There was quite a commotion inthe coiton market the upshot of the newstorn tbe East, which, np to the 1 1th, was ci adownward cast We beard of some sales, how- ¬

ever, but at prices so radical, compared withthe ruling rates of Saturday, that we refrainfor the present from making onr usual quota- ¬

tions. The Silver Wave arrived with 1264bales from Pine Bluff.

Mosey. Currency is easy and the supply isfully equal to the demand. Exchange on NewYork K ! C LCiuuatt at par and abundant, anaon St. Loots premium. Bills of the denomi-nation ot Had upward on tne Planters' andUnion bancs were bought at B0& on the Bankof Tennessee at od-.- , siowly, and with a vorymoderate dtmano. ; on tne Bank ot Chattanooga211.'., and Back or West i'enneaeee Ss, oooiuerr. batk njles of all denomicatoua, thoega invery moderate demand, wore ietchtug :23c.

Nenhera Ferliaic.Tho Mobile TnbuM has received a copy cf

the Njw York fitter, whit h contains an arliciein lefts to a declaration in the Memphis Appealthat "the "jrth is unanuaotuly epposod topeace except by restoration." Tho .Vsasj eaysthis is not tme. I . is unquestionable that thereis a de sire for restoration ; but the war Las beencarried on so crutliy and iinp?lit;caiiy that the"p.tp'.s hops again: hapa fir restoration."Something of more importance than this is thequestion presented to the people, and that is asto bow they shall cave their own liberties thattho continuation of tho war is making the Northa were military despotism, anl that thoughtfulmen are more engaged in discussing bow thatshall be averted than to bring back the Sonthto its former association 'i'.-.- following is theclosing paragraph ot the article i

Of all the dangers that threaten onr ultimate success, Iconsider none more imminent than the policy embodiedIn this act, if th, object really be, as it broad terms de-clare, to put and keep ia active service all between theages cf seventeen and fifty, except the exempts named.On that line we wits most usarediy, sooner or later, dowhat the enemy t.ever could do, coaqurr ourselves.And if such be not the object of the act tf It Is onlyintended lo conscript met not iu'ended fr service, notwith a view lo fill the army, bat for the officials, to takecharge of the general labor of th coon' ry and the ve-rt us nee-- - y avocations and poneits of life, then theact Is cot only wrong In principle but exceedingly dan-gerous lu Its taadeacy.

1 cotne, now, to the last of these acts cf Congress.The suspersion of the wiit of habeas oori ui in certaine.ises. This la the most erciting, as It Is by far the mostImportant question before yoo. Uson tbit depends thequoeiius, whether the ccurt eh all be permitted ta decideupon the of the late c nscript ad,

vou submit tbat question to heir endu; it also dc; end ether great eafleatisl rights enjoyedby us an ueeuiea. Tbtoaet, upon ilaace, coalers apontiie President, tbe Secretary of War, and tho Generalcommau'ling in the department, (thetwo latter acting under the control asd authority of thei'i-- s dent) the power toanest and Imprison any personwho may b- - situ, ly charge 1 with certain scti, not all ofthem even crimes under any law; and this is to be donewithout, amy oath or affirmation alleging probable causeas to thi guilt of the party. This is attempted to bedone uaaer that clause of the Ucustitn iju, which anibotix. Congress to guspen i th privilege of the writ ofhabeas corpus, in certain cased.

In my judgment this act . not only unwise, impoliticand unconstitutional, ba- exceedingly dangerous lopublic liberty. Its ucoonsutntionsiity doe not restupon the idea thst Congress has not got the power losospsnd tbe privilege of this writ, nor upon the ideathat tLe power to suspend It is au Implied on, or thatclearly implied powers are weaker, as a class, ar Jsubordinate to others poeitively and directly dele-gated.

I Uo not understand tb. Kxecutiv of this State toput his -- gumeat against th s act np m any suchgrcitads. Lis simp'y states a fat", as It meet dearly Is,tli th power to tu,,,nd at all la an implied power.There U uo positive, direct power delegated to do it.The power, however, is clear,anJ clear only by impureHon The language of the Cuusiitutlon, that "the privilege of the writ f habeas corpus shall nut be suspend-ed utile s, when lo cases of rebellion or iuvssioa, thepublic safety may require it," clearly expresses th In-

tention tht tbe power may be exercised in be cxaasstted : but it doss so by implication oaly, j tat a Ifmother should say to her daughter, you snail not goaides you ride, liere the permission and authority togo is clearly given, though by inference and implicationonly. It is not positively aad dlrecUy given. This,and this only. 1 understand the governor to mean whenhe speaks of tbe power being au implied one. He raisesn quest o , as to the existeuce of the power, or lie va-lidity when rightfully exercised, but he maintain al Ido. that lis exere so most be eoatrolted by all other re-strictions in the ConsUtuti on bearing upon it exerei.e.Tv.--i of these are to be found In the words accompany-ing thedal-gatitt- n. It can never be exercised except harebellion or Invasion. Other restriction are to befound ia other parts of the Constitution. In theamendments to the Constitution adopted ftrthe rsiidcatl .n of tL- - word as above qioted Theseamendments were made, as fa expressly declared in thpreamble to tbem, to add "turlLsr declaratory aad re-strictive clauses," lo prevent raiscucstructlon or abaseof the eiowers previously delegalad. To understandall the restrictions, therefore, thrown around tbe exer- -

cise of thb power In the Const! un.u. these additional"retricUv clauses'' must be . ead ia c mj unction wi hthe . ifma. grant whether that was made post lire. ysa l directly, or by implication only. Thee lua'.ruc-tioas, among other things declare, that "no person shallbe deprived of life, liberty ur property wl heat dueprocess el lew. and that "the right of the people to besecure in the.r person, ho tee, papers end erf-el-

afralnst unreasonable searches and s. ixuree shall not bev.olated, end no warrant shall Issue but upon probablscause, supported by oath or affirmaUoa, and particu-larly describing tbe place to be searched, and the personor thi--- to be seized.'

All admit that under the dtu as it stands in thoriginal gran, wiih th restrictions there set forth, thpowervaabs righlfoly exercised only in ca of re-bel-io- or lnvaai o. With these additional clause, patin as further restriction t prevent the abas of pow-

ers previously delegated, how is this claaas, conferringthe power La snsueud th privilege of the writ of habaas corpus cow to be read Ia this way, aad in thisway only. 'The privilege of the writ of habeas cor-

pus shall not bv suspended, unless when ha cases of re-

bellion or invasion the public safety may r quire It."A d lo person "thai be deprived of life, liberty, orpropeny, withoutdue procea or law. And fur her,"The rieht of u- - people to be ecu e In their persons.houses, papers arid e tlecl against unreasonable searchesaud seiures, shall not be violated, and no warrantsshall issue but up n probable cause, supported by oathur affirmation, and particularly cecer.bing tbe place tobe searcaed. and the persons orVi.mgs to be seized."

The attempted exercise of the t ower to suspend theprivilege of tae writ of habeas orpns in this act U Inutter disregard, in tbe very fa and teeth ef these re-

atrirtl mid. as much to as a like attempt ia time of pro-

found peace would be In di. regard cf the restrictionsto cases ol rebellion ana invasion, aa toe consnmuonwas originally adopted.

No inch huge anal enormous wrongs canevar spring from the Contltatlon if it b rightly ad-ministered. So that the coaclusioa of tho whale mttter it well stated by the governor in his late uesaage, inthe brief, comprehensive, but exact terms "The alysuspension of th privilege of the writ of habeascorpus known to onr Constitution and compatible withthe pro, already quoted, goea to tbe limple ex-tent of preventing the re'ae. under it, ofwhose ai rest btve beea ordered, under constitutionalwarrant from judicial authority.'

On this subject much light Is to be derived from Eng-lish history. Our whole system of coustltut osmI libertyrest upoa priueiples established by our Antrio-Saxo- n

ancestor.. Bat between tbeir system and ours, thereare several differences that thoetd be noted tod marked

and none more striking and fundament thaa thedifference between tbe two upon thb sabeet Withthem the right of personal security against legal tr- -

rests, was wrested from the Crown by Me Parliament,and eatabiLahed Ly magna chart, the bill of rights, tbeabolition of the star chamber, and the grant of thewrit of habeas corpus which b the means cf redressagainst violations of taw, aad other wrongs againstrights secured aad acknow' edged. In the audition ofthe court of star chamber, the power was taken fromthe King hit heirs aad successors forever, aad everymember of I is privy council, to make any arrest of anyperson for any offense or alleged crime, except by daeprocess of law. By this act, the power of the King toIssue warrants or orders or arrest, unsupported by oathor affirmation, tetting forth probable cause, which be-fore, had been claimed a a royal prerogative, was takenaway from him and hb soccesaors forever. Thruling monarch, Claries I, gave hi esas-- nt to theact aad yielded the power. He afterward btokhb pledge. Civil commotions ensued frem this andof er came He lost hit head upon the block. Tbesubsequent history of tha! strife between the peopleand i he Crown of England, on thb and other mattersb not bow pertinent to tbe object before us. Suffice Itto say that it ceded in the settbment as it Is termedbetween the Parliament and their new sovereignsWilliam aad Mary ia lti&s-- f 9 In this settlement, allthe a dent rights and liberties' of the English peopleitclud.ng the right of the writ ef habeas corpus, werereaffirmed and secured. Such were the lined lea innerited a a birth righ that onr British ancestors broughtwith them to Ibis cootlxteot. Th principle establish-ed In Eaguand, af er centuries of struggle and blood,formed the basis npon which the great structure ofAmerican constitutional 'lberty was erected. Bat thestriking difference between Lai.- system and ears towhich I have alluded and which should never be losttight f, is that with them, til power origlnaify belong-ed to the Crown. Ad rights and liberties were grantsfrom th Crown to the Parl ment, nnd through tbemto the people, while with at a power originally be-longed to the peoples and essential v, still resides withtbem.

At this point I will briefly refer to tbe suspension byonr Congress, alluded to the other night by tht dasUu- -gaiahed gentleman. (Hon. A. H. Keenaa,) who latelyrepresented this dletrict ; a gentleman whose remarks Ii Loaned to with a great deal of interest, an 1 wh a pr- -

In thb connection,these words teemed naturally enough to nave a meaning far different from what they have when taken fromiheir eoatext and put Into this late act, In which It bclear enough tbey are there intended to apply to otherthan judicial officer. There was then, nor new, anyobjeetiua, at far as 1 am aware of, to the suspension ofthe privilege of th writ uf habeas corpus in any city,town, or district, or generally thro if hoat the country,if Congress really hat good reasons to believe tbe pub- -
