After the most solemn and unanimous pledge of both Houses it Congress to] prosecute the war exclusively lor the j maintenance of the Government, and the j preservation ol the l niou under the Con stitution, ii has repeatedly violated that most sacred pledge under which was rub ] lied tint noble volunteer army which ear- j lied our flag to v.ouqy. Instead of restoring the Union, it Ims, bo tar as was in its power, dissolved it, and subjected ten States in a time and profound peace to military despotism and negro supremacy. ltjias miflilied there the right of t.ial by jury. It. has abolished the writ of habeas c opus -that most sacred writ ol liber ty It has overthrown the freedom ol speech am! of tlm press. Jt has substituted arbitrary seizures and arrests ami military triajs and secret starch;.inber inquisitions for constitution al tribunals. It bus disregarded in time of peace the right of the people to be free fronr search and seizure. It has entered the post and telegraph offices, and even the private rooms of in dividuals, and seized their private pa pers aud letters, without any specifies turn "u- notice or ;dlidavit as required by the organic law. It bus converted tlio v \mei'ican Capital to a bas'.ilc. It bus established a system of spins und official espionage to w.hieh ho con stitutional ni'Uiaiehy of Europe would now dare to rose t. It bus abolished tlm the Tight of appeal os important constitutional questions t the supreme judicial tribunal, and threat ens so curtail or destroy its original ju lisdieticli, which is irrevocably veetod by the Constitution, While the learned Cliief Justice lus been subject to great and atrocious ealu.mibes merely bccuusi lie would not prostitute las lugli office l. the support of the false ami partisan charges preferred against Hie Presi dent.
