GOETZEL, MOBILE—PCBLISHEB. We hav* perused ltd* poem with maeb bot not un- mi ogled pleasure. It ia executed in tbs highest aerie ef elaborate art. hue a* regard* structure and eoapooi- Uon thaacoatume sad rhetorical finish. The atory i* •aid to be founded an a Oensen tradition, which rep- reeeat* that e young Knight, In violation ef his troth, had teen seduced by the Cyprian Goddess, who being directed of her dirtae attributes, sod retaining only ea superstition and the ad rest of the religion of Christ fate up her throne in one ef the recesses of the Hill el Iloersel, Bear the domain ef Herman, a landgrave, the uncle of Elizabeth, tbs lady-loTS ef Tannhanter. The loser disappears. Elizabeth ptaee through disap pointed affection.

They threaten bit life Elizabeth In an Indignant strain shames them from-their purpose. Tannhaur' er is driven from the praaence of the nuemUy. Sliza- beth suffers for many, weeks {he pangs *.f unrequited love. A procemion of Pilgrims from Rome peases through yrartburg.nuhOaat of remitt:d alas.” Tabu- haoa'-r is not of them. Hie sin has been pronounced deadly and irremediable.” Elizabeth is borne to her tomb. Taanbanser is found by bis friend Wolfram i atones and atnbba ofa neighbor ing hilfiasore and Iona pilgrim, hUapint crashed, bte He relates that hie petition tar par don had beendoeiad ot Rome. He laarns of the death of Uitaoetb. The bier an which her body rests is borne peat with tbs I-and (rare as mourner. Tsmt- banter falls an the bier and expirer. A moment alter a message af forgive#*** arrives from Rome. A leading defect here ia that the message of pardon does not reach Tenaheueor before he expires. As his penitence was sincere, it k a denial of poetics! jastice to send him oat of the world without the eon-ctenaneu (hit his sin had keen forgiven. Whether ov not the io- Irodnetion of love as embodied in one of the deities of Olympus is mount to be allegorical it transcends the pre rogative of legitimate allegory. Itwaa the privilege of tho Greek* and Roman, to bring their deities from theskioe tomiegla in hnmanpursuits, license to clothe a mythological passions and blend them with Clary. Tannhauser meela the God- “ red by her charms, and forthwith y “0b, not for bimalone, and not for that Which to remember now makes life 'or mo A Wilderness of homeless grief*.

As on* instance what cab be conceived more delicately beautlfnl t han (he image at the. dose of the poem, concisely describing the hermitage of Sir Wolfram I - “Three gray rocks; sad, over these A mountain ash that, mourning, bond lry head, Drops her red rasuiy on a ruin'd celt.” This ia one of the meant-puMieuUens of the largo publishing house of 8.

The Sematarahlp of this District* It is generally understood, by what moans 1 do not know, thnt Mr. Miteholl, oar present able and distinguished Senator, doe* not de- giro re-olection. In that event, it is time we were looking nronnd for somA worthy nnd suitable man to fill his place. Floyd had the last Senator—It would be natural, then, as well as jast, that Chattooga or Bartow should bavo tho next. H»t either county a suitable man ! Either ho* several. I would suggest, as a suitable candidate,' Captain Charles Mai laco Howard, now in the command of an ar tillery company at Shvannah. He is a man of peerless morality and unquestionable abili ty, And withal a gentleman of pleasing nnd affable manners. His capacity, if elected, would make kin once ono of tho lea Jing man of the Senate. Well versed in boms and foreign polities, ho would be eminently qualified for snob a posi tion in times of great troubla like the present. Without desiring, to be obtrusive, or to be considered a* the partisan of Captain Howard or any one else. I throw oat these snggestione far public reflection. It is a subject upon which tho people hays, and ought to feel, the deepest interest. j«25 * CHATTOOGA. An Important Case, Was argue ! to-day at chambers in this oily, before Judge Ball, involriag the constitution ality of the Improvement lnw pasted at the late session of Congress. The case is this : Maj. Cummings, Assistant Commissary Gener al at this Post, under instructir.ua from the Secretary of War, impreseed.for the use of tha army a certain number of barrels of tu belonging to W . B. Jones & Co., of Richmond, Ya., but which was stored in the warehouse of Cox, Hill & Co., of this city. The owners of the sn;ar oomplained that the price feed by tbe commissioners was not jast oompc tion, nnd ordered nation to be commenced against Mejos Cummimgs for Ute recovery of tbe tnghr. In pursuance of this, Me Cox, nili k Co., (the person* in wboee pos session’tha property was at the time ef soil ure) sued out n Possessory Warrant, whirh process was served upon Major C. He ap panted* bi'fer* tho Magistrate who issued. I warrant and the parlies mutually agreed make n case of it and teat the validity cf.th law n* speedily ns possible; henee, by con sent it was heard to-day by Judge E ill out of term time, and will go up to the Supremo Court, no matter what his decision may be, so that the constitutionality of the Imprestmout law will be parsed upon by the final arbiter in this State, at tho next term of the Supreme Court. The plaintiffs in ttis cnaedeny the sutoori- ty of tho ‘imprciimeut Commissioners to nr an arbitrary j>riet to be paid for every man I goods which the geverniffcalnvy f.oni neces sity impress, without^ regard to ibe circum stances of each particular case. They deny that prices thus fixed are, or oan be, in all cuwt, ‘jnst compensation,' and deny that it is jast compensation in this c..se : henoe the suit involves the consiitutionality of this fea ture efthe law, and the competency of Con gress to pass such a law. betides, what mar be ca"e.l a polit- Hea'ben mjtholofyla blended with It Is as diStenlt of belief that this celestial vbitan t>f tha earth, who captivate# the hero- of tho poem, zhonld hold her court in a German cava In the middle age* as that Tannhauser should ftU in loro with ono of the “wanton* of Ot/mpue,” unless wo allow v> great a license In allegory as to violate all the laws of probability and historic truth. Tha chief distinction of the poem Is tha dramatic beauty of it* picture*. There is not, from tbe slmpli- city.of the story, much room for tho pixy of the pav- atons, there bring no etmgtie or conflict of contend ing emotions, bat'-the attraetlreasM of tbe separate pietara and their ettillfal combination impart a high and romantic interest to the principal adene*. The de fiant boldness and p'reistent energy of Taniihatuer/ wboee licentious lays sheik tha assembly wherein he appears lo contend for the prize of r etry—the gontle- nesa of Wolfram, of the Willow, whom muse u * melo- diorw-melaooholy”—the indignant strain of Sir Wilford. of the nill*,wboto Call to arms and tbe attendant clam or that shook tha rery rafters of the bnlMing-the calm appeal ofvbo Landgrare who sough* to appease tha storm with word* of peace, af d (he lofty rahuke of Elizabeth, XL* poured fevth-Terd' of Hetsr seen and hnrsimt indignation on the hoods of the authors of the scheme to destroy Tanohaeser—form ia their scc.-esslon and toate taeembu a seriee of the most brilliant and pictures que effects. The procession of the Friars, during which Elizs- beth’a last hope of the return of her penitent lover fled, forme a touching sequel to her sorrows. Is finely conceived, and I* a graceful accompaniment to this part of the poem. The termination is rather tragical than pathetic. Tho penitential sorrows of Tannhauser do not touch tho reader, nor are the sufferings of Eli zabeth of so poignant a character a* to deeply interact tho feelings. Her woe* are bnmght before us rather action. As a story tho work is do- in continuous and sustained inter. flcjtni, therefore^ i As relates to the characterization, tho hero of the piece t* a tame personage. Ho doss not Interest the imagination, because he knot cast In a heroic mould, although hie genius is of a high poetical order. The repentant sinner is not an object of poetical attraction. He tooes in admiration what ho gains In moral excel, loner. The elements of romantic interest are for re moved from this sphere. Deads of daring rather than acts of repentance win and concentrate general regard. Hence Tannhaaeor passe* Off the scene without respect and efP without ^sympathy. Hi* friend. Sir Wolfram, wins to the tact on our regard and admiration. -There k something Indescribably touching in bis friendship for Tannhausor. Amidst all tho changes in the fortunes of tho latter ha adheres to him with the tenacity of a loving heart, and ia a spirit of beautiful self-sacrifice. Elizabeth is not brought near enough to the reader to elicit his prolonged sympathy. Her rharact r a only partially developed. Except In the acene descriptive of the battle of the Bards, her action is , Hare her noble traits of character—her cour ageous generosity—her regard for Jastice—her lore od with her instincts of tenderness—are brought Into fio* relief. In the other parts of the poem she almost recedes from view. Her - dying scene is The chlof merit of the prcdaction, as we heforq init iated, will he.foaad to consist, not In atractore and composition, hut In picturaaqaeoeos and descriptive beauty.

Lincoln's Letter. from the perusal bftbiTdMnment^fe 1 pifonn* which professes to elucidate the policy of the arrests mad* by the Yankee Government and iis min ions. It ie proper that all shoald know tbe grounds of that policy. We have-placed them on record that our Jurists and Judges, and all who lay ’claim to the dis tinction of expositors ef the constitution, may become duly enlightened by this new revelation. , Tha first thing that strikes the most cursory reader lathe assumption that bemuse the constitution gives Congress power to suspend the writ of Habeas Corpus daring a rebellion, tbe same authority is lodged ia the Exeeutire branch of. the Government, in Its discretion* bot not only must this assumption be admitted with -J te the Chief, It is assumed that he may delegate this authority to any or all his military subalterns — President himself, under tbe constitution, exerci ses only adelegated power, but according to tho Lin coln reading or tha text of that instrument, this power is transmissible through all tbe degrees and grada tions of military command. Erery commandant of a military district may he clothed with eqnil authority to that reposed In Congress. ’ Personal liberty is thns placed in the discretion of those who may conceire the public defense involved'm the arreet of individual* on mere suspicion. The only tribunal to which tbe qaeationii to he referred ia the Judgment of the officer ordering the arrest. . Mr Lincoln goes farther than this, in his most felj. cions -interpretation. He arrogates the prerogative or pm-mtirr^allowing to Congress only rfndieffrs legisla tion. Hi* gloss of the constitution ia that it provides forthelattev (the vindictive) but not (or the sweat and punishment of those in rebellion who only “form the mall per ceutage. of ordinary and continuous pre- petratiou of crime,” while “the other (the prerenlire) is directed at the sadden and extensive nprisings against.the Government.” So the drift of the Execu tive Ioffe is to ahow that the constitution i« chargeable With a Aiatsr-tbat having provided only ford “imall per cottage" of rebellion, it is competent for thore appoint ed to execute the law, to to tie tha fow as well, when, in thtir own conception, it is defectin', in not providing for tbe “suppression of sudden and extensive upri- inger Tbe sagacious expqnnjfer supplements his distinc tion between prti<»«v#(Jn*d clmUefive features of the constitution, In this regard,,by another which sheds a broad light pn tbe difference between criminal and other prosecutions according to any definition of what constitutes a criminal prosecution in riew of the c.-n- stitntion. “But, oays he, tijese provisions of tbe con stitution (the liberty of speeeh, it the press, the right of trial by jary, *e) hare no application to Uio case wo hare in band, because the arrest* oosplaincd of were not made for .treason—that i* for the treason de- ■k. sr* 1 "p*»n tho conviction of which the punishment is dcsth—nor yet were mate to hold persons to answer for any capital or other infa mous crimes; nor were the proceedings following, in any^constitnt’onal or legal.sense ‘criminal prosecu tions.’ Tbe awests were made on totally different ground^ and the proceedings following accorded with the grounds of the arrests.” So according to this astute reasoning the awests do not oome’within the purview bf the constitution, for that only spaeks of treaoon-rtAe treason of the consti tution, leaving us to infer some other treason defined by the Lincoln Government. To define this new trea- one of the Executive prerogatives. Mr. Yal- landigham and those who hav* acted similarly are ac- quittedof any offense against the constitution—" the awests were not made, we are told, to hold persons for any capital or -any other infamous crime”—“the pro ceedings following were not criminal prosecutions in any oonstitational or. legal^sense.” Therefore the ar rests were made without-color of tow* -without consti tutional warrant, those sweated having committed nq .■criminal offense,” and yet were deprived of their lib erty, and placed in dungeons. Was there ever in the history of Mlf-coariOtion and stu'tificaUon such ad missions of abuse of power! Tho party in authority make the orime, define it, and prescribe the.paniihment, not according to any known precept or law qr constitu tion, bat some stondard^of.Imaginary public guilt in their own mind. If the presumptuou* ignorance which has suq- .sled the** distinctions were not on an equaHs ty with the impudence that ar-ogates the jurist diction given' to Congress * on the' subject, would be matter of surprise that inch things should be pnt forth as valid pleas for assump tion of power. - We will not apeak in the trrms which the coarieness of the illustration merits, when the aeceasinnista are compared with bands of horse thieves, that the law, in it* ordinary process, is too weak to pnt down. The taste ia kindred to the logic. But tbe great sophistry behind all these assumptions te that in the eontsmplatipu of the Constitution, the term “rebellion" ia applicant# to the' secession of Slates as organized political communities. Me. Lincoln hia other qualifications for discussing constan ts in happy ignorance ef what is known in legal lore, that distinct proposi- made in tha convention to overcome the re- of the States by force, and peremptorily jected. By what proeeosof reasoning and rale of on the term rebellion te allowed it* usual lig and that of {reason rejected—why those in are not in tbe commission of treason, are guil ty of oo criminal oSenee, and yet are the Inmates of prisons, ths Executive commentator may inform the public when h* publishes another congenes of hia an notations. the Red: A Literary Sensation.

The resolutions promise to support me in every constitutional and lawful measure to suppress the rebellion; and I have not knowingly employed, uor shall knowingly employ, any other. But the meeting, by their rosolutions, assert and argue that certain mil itary arrests and proceedings following them, for which I i\pi ultimately responsible, are unconstitutional. I think they are not. The resolutions quote from the Constitution the definition of treason, and also tho limiting safeguards and guarantees therein provided for tbe citizen oh trial f< r treason, and on his being held'to answer for capital and otherwise infamous crimes, and, in criminal proeeonlion, his right to a speedy and publio trial by an impartial jury. They proceed to resolve .“ that these safeguards of the rights of Ihe citizen sgqjnst tho pretensions of arbitrary power were intended more especially for his protection in times of civil commotion.” And apparently to demonstate the proposition,, the resolutions proceed: “They were secured substantially to the EngVsh people after years of protrr ’ted civil war, and were adopted into our Constitution at (be close of the Revolu- Would not the demonstration have been better, if it could have been truly said that tbe safeguards had been adopted .and ap plied during t he civil wars and during’our Rev olution, instead of after the on* and the close of the other ? - I, too, am devotedly for them after civil war, and before civil war, and at all times,’ ‘‘except when, in cases of. rebellion or invasion, the pnblio safety may require ” their suspension. The resolutions proceed to tell as that- these safegnarde “ have stood the test of seventy-six yeatj of trial, under our Re publican system, nnder circumstances which show that while they constitute the foundation of all free Government, they are the element* of the enduring stability of the Republic ” No one denies that they have so stood the test up to the beginning of the present rebel lion, if we except a certain occurrence at New Orleans; nor does any one question that they will stand the same test much longer after the rebellion closes. But these provisions of tho Constitution have no application to the case we have in habd, became the arrests were not made for treason—that ie, not for the treason defined in the Constitution, and upon the can viction of which the punishment' is death— nor yet were they made to hold persons Jo an swer for any oapitsl or otherwise infamous erimes; nor were the proceedings tallowing, in any constitutional or legal sense, “crirni nal prosecutions.” The arrests were made on totally different grounds, and the proceedings following accorded with the grounds of the arrests. Let us consider the real'cnse with -licit wo are dealing, and apply to it the parts of the Constitution plainly made far such er-ses. Prior to my installation here it bad been in culcated tbai any State had a lawful right to se cede from the national Union, and that it would be expedient to exercise the right whenever the devotees ot the doctrine should fail to elect a President to their own liking. I was elected contrary to thrir liking; and, accordingly, so far is it was legally possible, they had taken seven Stales ofit of the Uuion, had seized many ol the United States forte, and fired npon the United State* flag, all before 1 woe iuaugorted, and. of course, before 1 hod done any official act what ever. The rebellion thus began soon ran into the present civil war; end, in certain respects, it began on very nneqnal terms between life par ties." Tbe insurgents had been preparing for it more than thirty years, while the Government bad taken uo steps to resist them. The former had corelnlly considered all the means which cogld be tuinejl to their arconnt. It andquhls edly was a well pondered reliance with them that in their own uaresiricted efforts lo destroy Union, Constitution, and law*, altogether, ibe Government would, in a. great degree, be re* strained by the same Constitution and law from arresting iheir progress. Their sympathizers pervaded all departments of the Gevernment have bees forced to regard as being within the exceptions of the Constitution, and a-o indupen- eiblo to the public safety. Nothin” i* hotter known to history than that the courts of justice are utterly incompetent to such cotes. Civil courts are organized chiefly for trials of individs utlo, or, at most, a few individuals acting in concert; and this in quiet times? and oh chargee well defined by law. Even in times of peace bands ef horse thieves and. robbers frequently grow too numerous and powerful for the ordina ry courts of justice.. Bat what comparison, in numbers, have such bands ever bone to the in* Rurgcnt sympathizers even in many of the loyal States l Again a jury hat at least one member more ready to hang a panel than to hang the traitor. And yet. again. Re who dissuades one man from volunteering, or induces one soldier to dt-sc t, weakens tho Union cause as much as he who fc ills a Union soldier in battle. Yet this disniunion or inducement may be so conducted as in lie no defined crime of which any civil court would lake cognizance. Ours iz a case of rebellion—so called by the resolutions before me—in fact a clear, flagrant, and gigantic case of rebellion; and the provis ion of the Constitution jliat “the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus? shall not be suspended, unless when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public sxfeiy tuny require if,” is the provis ion which specially applies to our present case. This provision plainly attests (he understanding of (hose who made the Constitution, that ortlis miry courts of justice are inadequate to "cases of rebellion—atteste their purpose that, in such cases, men may be held, in custody whom the courts, siting an ordinary rules,, would dis charge. Habeas corpus does not discharge men who are jiroved to be guilty of . defined crime; and its suspension isallowedby the Constitution on purpose that men may be arrested and held who connot he proved to be guilty of defined crime, "when, iu cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it.” This is pre- cisety onr present case—a cate of rebellion, wherein tbe public safety does require the sua* pension. Indeed, arrests by process oi ccurts and arrests in cases of rebellion do not proceed altogether upon the same basis. The former is directed at the small percentage of -ordinary nnd continuous perpetration of crime, while the lat- teris directed at sudden and extensive uprisings against tbe Government, which, at most, will succeed or fail in no great length of lime. In the latter case, arrests are made, not so much for wbat has been done, as for what prot.ably would lie done. The latter is mere for the pre ventive and lesa for the vindictive than the fora mcr. In such esses the purposes of men are much more ensily understood than in ordinary cases of rritpe. The. man who stands by and says nothing wh n the peril of his Government is discussed cannot be misunderstood. If not deterred, he is sure to help tho enemy; much more if lie talk9 ambiguously—talks for hiscouns tty with “huts.” and "ifa,” and “anda." Of how little value the constitutional provisions I have quoted will be rendered, if arrests shall nfivrr l<o made till defined crimes shall have been committed, may be illustrated by a few no table examples:—General John C. Breckinridge, General Robert E. Lee. General Joseph E. Johnston, General John B. Atagruder, General William C. Preston, General Simon B. Buc#F ner, and Commodore Franklin Buchanan, now occupying the very highest places in the rebel service, were all within lliv power of the Gov ernment since tho rebellion began, ’and were nearly an wellkitowu lobe traitors then ns now. Unquestionably if >ve bad seized and held them; the insurgent cause would be much weaker DoF no one of them had then committed any crime defined in the law. Every one of them, if arreste I would have been discharged on ha beas corpus were the Writ allowed to operate. In view of these nnd similar cases, I think the lima not unlikely to coma when I shall lie blam ed for having inude too few arrests rather than too ipnny . By the third resolution the meaning indicates l ilt.il military atnfsTs may 1.0 consiitutisnal.inlo entities where rebellion actually exists, but that such arrests arc unconstitutional in localities where rebellion or insurrection does not actually exist. They insist that Such arrests shall not be made "outside of the lines'ol necessary mili tary occupation, and the scenes of insurrection.” Inasmuch, however, as the Constitution, itself makes uo s iclt distinction,! am unable to believe that there is any such constitutional distinction. I conclude that the: class of nn-ests complained of can lie constitutional only when, in cases ol rebellion or invasion, tho pnblic safty may re quire them; nnd I insist that In such cates they, are constitutional wherever the public safety does require them; as well in places to which they may prevent the rebellion extending as in those where it may he already provailing;1as Well where they may restrain mischievous interference with the rflistng arid supplying of armies- to suppress the rebellion, as where the rebellion may actu ally be; ae well where they may restrain the en ticing men out of the army, as where they would ■jrcveni mutiny in the army; equally constitu tional af all places where they will conduce to the public safety, as against the dangers of re* hellion or invasion. Take the particnlar case mentioned it y the meeting. It is asserted, in substance.,that Mr. Vallandigham was, by a military commander, seized and "tried for no other reason than words addreased to a pub lie meeting, in criticism of the conrse of the Administration, and in condemnation of a mili tary order of a general.” Now, if there he no mistake about this, if this assertion is the truth and the whole truth, it there was no other reas on for the arrest, then I concede that the arrest was wrong. But the arrest, as I understand, was made for a very different reason. Mr. Val landigham avows hia hostility to the war on the part of the Union, and his arrest was made be cause he was laboring, with some effect, tff pre vent the raising of troops; to encourage deser tions from the army, to leave the rebellion with out an adequate military lorce to (oppress it. He was not arrested because he was damaging the political prospects of the Administration, or the personal interests of the commanding gen eral, but because he was damaging tbe army, upon the existence and Vigor of which the life nl the nation depends. He was waring npon the military, and this gave the' military consti tutional jurisdiction to lay hands upon him.— If Mr. Vallandigham was not 'damaging the military power of the country, then ' his arrest was made on mistake ot fact, which I would be glad to correct on reasonably satisfactory evi dence... I understand the meeting, whom rcsolu tiona I an considering, to be in favor of sap pressing the rebellion by military force—by ariuics. Long experience bos ehown that ar mies cannot be maintained unless desertion shall be punished by the severe penalty .of death. The case requires, and the law and the Constitution sanction tbis punishment.— Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who deeerte, while I mast not touch a hair of a wily agitator who induced him to desert ?— This is none tho less injurious when effected hy getting a lather, or brother, or friend, into a public meeting, and there working upon hix feelings till he is persuaded to write the sold ier boy that he is fighting In a bad canae, for a wioked administration of a contemptible Government, too weak to arrest and pnnisb him if he shall desert. I think that in euoha case, to silence the agitator and save the boy, is not only. constitutional, but withal a great meroy If I be wrong on this question of cunstiiu tional power, my error lies in bollaving that certain proceedings are constitutional when, in oases of rebellion or invasion, the pnblic safety require# them, which would not be constitutional when, in (fie absence of rebel lion or invasion, the public safety dm* not require them ; in other Words, that the con stitution fc nothin iis application. in all res peels the same, in cases of rebellion or inva sion involving the public safely, as it ta in times of profound peace- and public aeeunty. Tho Constitution itself makes the dtatiiietion; and I can no more be per-naded that the Gov ernment can constitutionally take no strong measures in time of rebellion, because it can be shown that the tame could not bn lawfully In giving the resolutions that earnest c.m- stJeration which you request of me, 1 canuot overlook lac facl lltai the .meeting speak *9 ‘•DcmocraU.” Nor eon I, with full respect for their known intelligence, and tho lairly presumed deliberation with which they pre pared their resolutions, be permitted to sup pose lhat this occurred by accident, or in any way other than that they preferred to desig nate themselves "Democrats,” rather than “Americans.” In this time of national peril I would have preferred to meet yon upon a lev el one stop higher then tuty forty platform : becattso I am sure (lat, from such more eleva ted position, we could do bettor battle for Ino country wo all love than we possibly can from those lower ones, where, from the force of hab it,, the prejudices of the past, and selfish hopes of the future, we-aro sure to expend mitcli of our ingenuity and strength iu finding fault with, and aiming blows at each other. But, since yon have denied me this, I will yet be thankfal, lor tho country’s sake, that not all Democrats have done so. He on whose dis cretionary judgment Mr. Vallandigham Wft> arrested and tried, is a Democrat; having no old party affinity with mo; and the judge who rejected tho constitutional view expressed in these resolutions, by refusing (> discharge Mr. Vallandigham on habeas corpus, is a Democrat of better days than these, having received his judicial manllo at tho hands - of President Jackson. And still more, of all those Democrats who are nobly exposing their lives and shedding their blood on the battle field, I have learned that' many, approve the course token with Mr. Vallandigham, while I have not heard of a single ono condemning it. 1 cannot assert that there are itone suoh.— And the name of President Jackson recalls an instance of portinont history. After tho bat tle of Now Orleans, and while the lnct that the treaty of peace had been oonoluded was well, known in the oily, but before official knowl edge of it bad arrived, General Jaokson still maintained martial oY military law. Now,' lhat it could bo said tho war was over, the olamor against martial law, whioh had existed from the first, grew, more furious. Among other things a Mr. Louaillicr published a de nunciatory newspaper article. Gon. Jackson arrested him. A man by fie name of Morel procured the United Stotos Judge Hall to or der a writ of habeas corpus to relievo Mr. I.ouaillier. General Jaokson arrested both tho lawyer and the-judge. A Mr. Hollander ventured to cay of some part of tho matter that "it wr.9 a. dirty triok." Goneral Jackson arrested him. When the offieer undertook to serve tho writ of haboas corpos, General Jaokson took it from him, and sent him away with a oopy.. Holding the judge i t custody a few days, he sent him beyond (he limits of hta encampment, and sot him at liberty, with anordor to-remain tiU the ratification of peace should be regularly announced or until the British should .have left the Southern coast. day or more elapsed, the ratification of the' treaty of peace was regularly announced, and the Judge and others were fully liberated. A few days more; and the Jndge called General Jackson Into court and fined him a thousand dollars for haying arrested him and olherB named. The General paid the fine, and there the matter rested for nearly thirty years, when Congress refunded the principal and interest. The late Senator Douglas, then a member of the House of Ueprenentatives, tdfrk • Jeadiog part iu the debates, in whioh {he constitution- al-'queation was much discussed. 1 am not prepared to say whom iho journals would show to have voted for ihe measure. It may be remarked: First, That, we bad the same Constitution thon as now; secondly, that we then had a oase"of invasion, and now we have a ease of rebellion; and,' thirdly, that Ihe permanent right of the people to public discussion, (ho liberty of speech and of .tho prrsz, (he trial by jnry, the law of'eridence. nnd the habeas corpus sufl'erod no detriment whatever by that conduct of Geu. Jackson, or Ha ythJrijin’nt approval by the American Con- gretis. - • And yot, let me fay, that in my own discre tion, I do not know whether I would, have or dered the arret t of Mr. Vallandigham. ..White oanuot shift the responsibility from myself, hold that, as a general rule, the commander in the field Is. Ihe better ju Igo of the necessity iu any particular oaae. Of oonrse I must practice a general directory aud revisory pow er in the matter. “ One of the resolutions expresses the opinion of the meeting that arbitrary arrests will have the effect to distrait and divldo those who should'he unlted.ia suppressing the rebellion, and.I ate specifically oallod ou to • discharge Mr. Vallandigham. I regard tbis as, ah least, fair appeal-to me on the expedteucy of ex ersising a constitutional power which I think exists. In response to such appeal I have to say, it gave me pain when I learned that Mr. Vallandigham had been arrested—that ta, I was pained that there should seem to be a ne cessity for arresting bite—and. U will afford mo great pleasure to discharge him, as coon os can, by any means, believe the public safety will not suffer by it. J further say,, that as the war progresses, it appears to me,. opinion and action, Which were in great confusion at first, take shape and fall into more regular chan nels, so that the-neoessity for strong dealing with them gradually decreases. * 1 have every reason to desire that it should cease altogether, and far from tho least is my regard for the opinions and wishes of thoso who, like the meeting at Albany, declare their purpose to snstaiu the Government in every fotnsUtution- al and lawful measure to suppress-the rebel lion.- Still 1 must’continco to do so much as may seom to bo required by tbe public safety.' .
