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.

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-

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-

than this piaavnted. The tame effects as to out-rages np.-- personal rights matt Issue under a liailtedSuspension ecnfloed to any t. eeifled cat's under anyo her view. 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. They have appointed agent to perform thefunction of Government ta the dlTcrol departments,executive, judicial and tagtalative. under the form ofGovernment aet forth In tbe Coatttltntioa. ciothtd withthe exercta of certain delegated, tpecitiic and iira. .

powers. In king land it b competent for tbe Parliamentat any time to return th Crown all th powers hereto,fore extorted from their king. They ore net restrainedas oar Congress Is, by a want of power to do so ontheir port They can repeal any day magna chart,the babe corpus act and the whole bill of rguts. aadrender tbe ruling monarch as absolute a either of theTu.lora or Stuarts ever claimed or wished to be. Tbeprinciples of mag cuana aa to personal liberty analthe right ef the writ of habeas corpus to secure thorights are pot In our fundamental lews, and eaanet bev.olated by Congress, for their power are limited, andthey re themaelvei bound by tbe ConsKltntiou. Thatthe Brittab people would ever submit to a surrender ofth-l- r rights by Parliament, no one can for momentbelieve. Bat Parliament claim to be omnipotent andoonld make the surrender, if they chose to run th risk.Heace analogies between tbit con - try tod that oa thesuspension of the writ of babe corpus aud the etf-- ct

of such suspension, either generally or specially, hon!dbe closely scanned; even In England, ao great is the re-gard for liberty, easpeneiose have been rar aiaeethe settlement ef ltlSS VJ. The writ was auspended there in 1715 and la 1745 and In 17s." itwas Baspeadod iu Ireland with tbe power conferred onthe lord lieutenant to make Coder tee aystern 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 onrC egress, under our Ceosfituttee. Is crittotara apoath governor's message, these suspensions have beeaalioded to gala.t the p?t tlont of the message. Theyare not la conflict at all. What tbe governor state tstbtt be b not aware of any "instance In which theBritish Rang has ordered the arrest of any person iacivil if In any other anonaer than by juthrial warrantissued by the established courts of the nation, or inwhich Le has suspended or attempted to suspend thep- ivflege of the writ of habeas rpus. since the bill otrights and tne act ef - "uncut pasted in ." He didnot sty that Parltam.ut h.ui not suspended it. or that ourConer-.- s coald not suspend it, in a proper way, butthat eveo in England, where Parliament was unrestrain-ed, they hod not, sioc, tne settlement ccnterreu uponthe Crown, the power to make arrests, so far as be wasswore.

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- -

The answer to the lnqairy, why theie wa, no noiaemade about tbit act, wtuto there Is so much made abouttbe one lately ptated 1, two-fold-. Ia th first place,thb act applied " oaly to arroots made by ibe antiiori- -

warrants to arrest are the courts, whose duly it b toIssue warrants for arreata whenever offenses or crimeare charged open oath or affirmation, stating proa biteuie.

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- -
