regardless of the fact, that such abolition would
W, to us, the immediate loss of property worth
$3,000,000,000,and the ultimate extinction of
both our white and Mack race-. Wo .id io
them, that if you place such a party as this in
pow er over us, you will prove yousel ves far worse
foes to uh, than the British were to your and our
ancestors, and we will show ouraelvo worthy of
those ancestors by dissolving our partnership
with you; atid getting up forourselves u . a icpar
ate people. More, we did not demand; further,
we did net thrc.iion. M e .lid n ■ require them
tu liberate us front thetnormou tribute which,
under their unconsiitutional protection !aws,
i they have been for long, long \ear, compelling
us to pay to their manufactures ami ship-owners:
nor did we require them to -pond among us a
fair proportion of the vai public revenue, . o
large a part of which we > •ulrihuted to the gen
eral treasury: we did not even insist that theii
writers, their political orator . and lucit preach
ers, should desist from thcirtuali naiit and untir
ing labors to degrade and vilify us, not only eve
ry where at home, but every where abroad.
All this moderation would not suffice. With
undisguised threat* and all the uin of empire al
ready reached, they, by overwhelming majorities,
put over us, as rulers, that part v . And then,
keeping frur word, tveleii them aud set up for
unrealve- among the nation -of thu earth. And
this wo had a perfect right to do. The right,
indeed in so clear that even their chosen chief,
Mr, Lincoln, concede* it m the most explicit
tenu . In IS4*, he used the following language
“Any people anywhere, being inclined, and
having the power, have the right to rite up and
shake oft'the existing Government, and K.rui a
new one that suits them better. This i am. ,t
valuable, a most aaered right . right which, we
hojo* and believe, is to liberate the world. Nor
is this right confined to cases in which the whole
people of an existing Government may ehoui-e to
exercise it. Any portion of such people that
can, may revolutionise and make their own of,-.,
much of the territory as they inhabit. More
than ihi-. h maioritv of anv i"-rtiv.n of snob
triuu i in.-', a majority oi any ]"rtu.n ot such pen- !
pie may revolution i/e, putting Joan a minority, j
intermingled with, r near uhout them, who mat :
oppo* their movement-. .-u,-h atinorty was i
precisely theeax- of the T.>ric - m ..ur own Rev
olutbm. It ia a quality of revolutions not to |
by old line-, or Inw , but t bn if up hath, and
make new one .”
• Nor did the ©ser.-i-t- .f it.', j right deprive the j
people of the North < i an> .1 ike thmi; j
they prof* -t. valnenuxn liighlv They till’
retain their religion, their morality, their educa

universal smartness*, thoir arts, their tree speech, ’

our depot*iion fr>-ui them relieve t them id bur

think too greivu* to be home. It relieved them j
from ill pretence of responrihilty for slavery, t-ii
institution which they proses toregar-i aso -i.-. j
a crime and a curse; it. relieved them front ootta- t

to break it with impunity.’ None whatever. I
has never been any. And hauce they now ratify j
these enormous breaches of the Constitution n ith
hardly a dissenting voice. Our escape from them
is not a day too st*on
War then, nithoutany tault ot ours, is upon

sibie, it is to im a war which, after passing

hieathe towards us a general hate, paralleled by
that only which the devils, righteously cait into
hell, feel fir the unoffending angels still retain

poncing through every atrocity, is if it proves a
successful one, to end in our subjugation. There
can be no stopping place short of subjugation.—
They can hold us as slaves, and only as slams.'—
And who are they, thus seeking to become our
masters’ They are u people whose religion is

And what is their plan ior our dubjugattonri- !

light us with armies twice aw bigai* ours.
But there is a way to defeat this magnani

N’orth is making on us. And that way is by

llut ulthougu tbo i*uperintv ofi.ur cause may

in our armies, it doe* unt authori.'e us to expect
a superiorly of ‘kill. The only question then is.
how can wo impart to them this superiority ol

one sure way; namely, by long terms of enlist
mout for our men lho older tho soldier the
hotter tho soldier, ha - been true trout ih* time of
C esar's lenth legion, and long before. The livid
is,the only college which can graduate h perfect
r oldier, and It can do it only alter a long course.
The enemy ‘s men are enlisted, some ti*r thirty
day>, some for three month.--, some tor throe
years, and tome for tiveyear . The reoent on
iiahuenta are generally, I believe, for three yours.
Our enlistmants are mostly for twelve raonthi,
although lately :v good number arc enlisted for
the war. Now when a soldier of twelve month’
ijuda tho army, ho quits it just at the time when
he ia becoming roo-t eflective : and hi* place i.--
taken by another soldier, just at the time when
he is least eflective. Then what a lof money,
and time, and labor, there is, in transporting the
new army to, and the old army front, :bo scene
of the war. Aud when the new artuy reaches
there, it linds itself uncertain of its ow n ground,
quite ignorant of that of the enemy : its officers
are unacquainted with each other ; their special
ties of talent arc unknown to tho commander
in-chief; organization in all its branches is loose
and weak. The consequence is, ihat the wheels
of the Army eilhor stop moving for the time, or
move with iinnu-tiM’ labor and friction. And
thus the period of ihe war is protracted. The
way then, 1-. a Port war. i,* by long enlistments. I
They render armi. - good, anti hold on to them ‘
after they are g--.id : and that, of all things, will

that wo had Urge anuie* in the field, enlisted for
ihe war, would, of itself, Incline the North t
peace. The most malignant rage will not at
tempt plain impowlhiliticK)
Do wo wish then to shorten the war 7 If we

of this part of the Mouth, I appeal especially to

case:
“‘ s ” Ihr amy power goes, the Court feels it
it* duty to euforce its prote-t again.-t the cou
t. inpi committed. The military i- nubjoct to
civil intisdiction : aud I will briefly sot down tho
course l in tend to take. I’nrdered the atachiueut
yesterday, because, upon tho face of tho return,
the detention of the prisoner was unlawful, upon
tw - grounds: First, the President, under tho
Constitution and law -of tho I nltod States, cmu
not hu*pend tho privilege of tho writ of habeas
oorptiN. or anthorire any militate officer to do
so. Second, the military officer .hu ?no l ight to
arrest and detain u person subject to the rule* of
nrticlt'H ol war, tor an oftenoo agaiust tho lawa of
the I tilted: except in and by tho Judicial auth
ority or subject to its control; and if tho party
is anectcd by tlie military, It la the duiy of the
officer to deliver him over immediately to the civil
authority to be dealt with according to law.
“1 forbore yesterday to state orally the pro*
visiuus of the Constitution which make the*©
principle* the fundamental law of tho Union,
because oral statements might, lo uiljumleratood
in ioids portions of it, and I shall tbertn ro put
my ..pinion in wrting, and file it with the Clerk
in the office of tho Court in the course of this
week.
“In relatiouio the present return the Court
said: With relation to the present return 1
would state that the Marshal has the power to
aiiiiiiuoii (ho jmtte .omin/u*. and take lorciblc
possession of the party attached, but us the force
i* so large at the fort ot this time the effort
would he useless.
“That being the ca-e the Court liuh tm power
to direct the forcible taking of thw party, but
only ha- power under the laws of the laud, when
tin- party is brought beforo it, to force tho lib
eration •■( the prisoner by uu order of tlie Court,
imposing tine und imprisonment upon the officer
making the arrest; but if by a superior force tho
party manage* to keep out of the reach of tho
Court,it can but enter it* protest against it. I
will reduce to writing uiy opinion- in ihe case,
and having done so shall report to ihe President
in person the facts, lay before hitu the official
documents in the case. | all upon hiui to per
form hi* Constitutional duty, and urge upon
him the absolute authority, a proper rnc-ugnltlon
of the Constitution nnd law*.”

escorted by Captain of the boat to Wur Depart

During the whole time wb met with no injur/

by the captain whether any of ns wished to join

sent to New Orleans froe, which offer none of

One ol the two negroes belonging to our cr*w,
and whose name is Walter Murray, confessed to
bis bemg a runaway slave and belonging to a
roan In Baltimore. They were both detained at
Montgomery, buts have no farther knowledge
of them.
I would also Ham that we were under no - atilt
