Job,. Jlorcan to wait and not come into Kentucky until Indiana was read? to aid them, have not ven tared to tell the people that they are in confidenc with avowed traitors, warring against the republic. Hut nevertheless it U all true. Dodd, Devlin, Bowie it Co . asisted by Bingham, KUtine. Athon, ililligau and others, are in this plot. We happen to know it So far as we are concerned, we pronouuee the foregoing charge and insinuations in every iota unqualifiedly false. The man who nays be "hap pens to know" the tru'.b of what he states, liesHe knows be lies. And we presume that every person narael in the extract will stamp the state ment as false. We know of no secret associations, organized for treasonable purposes, unless it be what is known by the name of Loyal Leagues that A rs Aham Lincoln m the H . UIIUl9Mauw wm.-v - - head of these National Leigucs, nd that Gov mor Mmrro is the head of the Indiana League, W understand that one of the obligations or instructions of these leagues is that every member must arm himself with a musket, ride, or shot . a gun. and that the order has issued from the head of the national organizations to Governor 31oethA member of the leagues thus armed into Home-guards. If secret political orconizations are treasonable, in what light does it place the members of this secret league! in what position does it leave Governor Morton. Can there be any thing more infamous than for the Governor of a State to place the public arms, ammunition und accoutrement i in the hands of mm ta ui - - - bis party friends organized in secret political as sociations? There can be no good meant by such acts. They have a wicked purpose in view Again his Excellency charges that "the Demf Marion rountv know th it the secret VVt J y . . 11. 1 I 1 .:!., order packed ana controlled meir lotai ucaci. When he made this charge be should have looked at his beautiful vis ige as retlecte l in a mirror. Wbo packe! and controlled the Balti mor Convention and its nominees? It was a secret order. It met in council the day before fi. invention. The Lnval Lc.i2ues in adW aj vi'v. ' j 7 ranee made the platform and nominations at Baltimore They control the local tickets in Indiana. They packed the Convention which nominated the Republican State ticket. And Governor Mortos and his confederates justify this packing and controlling of Conventnms by secret clubs. Very consistent man is Iiis Kxcellency. is be not? Here is another charge of "domestic treason:" " "Who burnt the steamers Lee. Jenny Lind, Taylor, &c loaded with government stores? We will answer. Armed rebels did not. Who furnished these stores? The people of the United States the people of Indiana the women of Indiana. Good things for the sick aud wounded were on those steamers. Bread, flour and medicines were 0:1 those steamers. Sanitary stores were on those steamers. Clothing and domestic love tokens were on those steamers. Who burnt them? We answer rebelt. They were not soldiers of the South who did it. They weie not enlisted soldiers who did it. They were not brace men who did it. It was domtstie traitors who did it. It was men who hide their treaou ander the cloak of Democracy who did it. The government knows who did it. It can lay its hands upon those who instigated the foul wrong." This accusation implicates the Democracy of Indiana. The organ of the Governor says the men who burned the steamers named "hide their treason under the cloak of Democracy." It also states that "the government knows who did it. It can lay its hinds upon" them. If so, "the government" com mits a g'av crime by not laying its hands upon them. But the fact is thee charges are mere rhetorical flourishes. There is no truth in them. The men who utter them know this. The Governor mentions several names as "domestic traitors.' Is theie one of them but who is a better citizen and purer man in all the relations of life? We challenge him to the issue. The Governor and his confederates know that the charges of his organ are slanders. The only object in making them i to stir up strife. But even this will come to naught. What object h is His Excellency and his confederates n maintaining a pure, just and equal government superior to those whom they stigmatize with disloyalty? None whitever. They hive but one object, and that is continuance, in power. To scciue that end tliey are wiling to nee llesly sacrifice blood anl treasure. For the put three years they hive had everything their owu Kvery demand of "the government" lias been complied with. More than tb t.

The statement that Beauiegrrd's armv only w is engaged is not only incredible but untrue. for such a force would have been overwhelmed bv the vastly superior numbers of Gen. Grant, who seems to have concentrated his whole army for the battle Undoubtedly reinforcements had been sent from the arun of Gen. Lee, and it is likewise said in another account that Hardee's corps, from (ten. Joe John-ton's armv, partici pated in the conflict. This rumor is also untrue But whether Lee's army were there in whole or in put. the Confederates were strong enough to repel the repeated assaults made on their works, and indicted an appalling loss on the assailants, who ate said to have lost eight thousand men in the two days' fight. A few days since the public were led to be lieve hat Petershuri; would fall an easy prey, and that the victorious army of Grant would march at once to the gates ot Richmond. Ou failing in this, that while (Jrant engaged Lee at Petersburg Gen. Ben. Butler would throw a column in the rear of Lee and isolate him from his capital. Butler, it seem, did attempt ome exploit, but was either driven back by Lee's soldiers or retreated when they advanced, and is in a .safe place. Butler, however, burned a bridge and tore up the railroad track. This defense of Petersburg is as obstinate as it is unexpected, and sbowsconclu-ivelyth.it the Confederates wih e-perately content this way to their cipitil. It remains to be seen whether Grant can oereoir.e ihe-e obstacles of nature and art and enter Richmond with or without destroying the army of General Lee New York News. I rom Micunan riu) .

In 1 7Ü3 the question again arose. Mr. ,ia ii th. t h.m of tw o French subjects, Mr. Jefferson, in replv to this demand, again asserted the rule laid down by him two years before "Tha laws of this country take no notice" sid he. "of crimes committed 0I1.0ftheir Jurisdiction Tiie most atrocious offender, coming within their pale, is received by ,i.om a .... i:!llo,.ent man. and ti.ev have iuithoriod no one to seize or deliver' him." He therefore refused to comply with the request of the Fi euch minister, unless it could be brought witlixn the provisions of the consular convention, whicb provided for the rendition of seaiearing r,Praons The rule thus laid down bv Mr. Jefto demands for extradition, and has received the s;iPctioa of mot of the Attorney Generals of the ssing for itj he Unite! States are the only foundation of our povVer. They give us no right to arrest but for lue purpose ot punishment: and we cannot arre?t vvhen we cinnot ourselves nunish. The seiZUre of this man on the application of the British minister would be an act of usurpation." i Sullivan s case in l-M he again m untamed the same doctrine in nearly the same language. I When Portugal demanded the surrender of the jjrates of the Tiiumpho, in 1S."13, Attorney General Tanev said, "We have no tieaty with Portugal for the deliverv of offenders. In such a gUte 0f thins it has always been held that the i'resnlent possesses no authority to deli er un the offenders." Such wis Mr Legare's opinion in Dewit's case I which must be familiar to Mr Seward, for it was PUbmifted bv hira when he wüs Governor of Sew York. And Nelson ar.d Gushing applied the Kme rule whenever the question arose. And finally in Metzgcr's case, the Superior Court of the United States gave the sanction of their authority to the proposition that "the surrender of fueitives from lustice is a matter of conventional arrangement between the States, as no such obligation is imposed bv the law of nations.

Lntil Uongress provides some Wav in which this comity can Le practiced, it must iUcn sanction, is. as Mr. Wirt sits, "a usurpa tion c l?e occurred during the administration o! the elder Adams, which aroused a deep feeling throughout the country on acc unt of the unlue executive inter.erence which was charged against the President. A person named Nash, or Robbins, for he was oiled by both names, was arrested in South Carolina upon cani;!aiut of the Rriti.-h Con-ul, and brought before the U. S District Cjurt, chirged with murder committed on board of an English vessel. After his examination, the President addressed to the Judge a recuest that he would deliver up the prisoner io the Unti-h authorities, provided satisfactory evidente of his ctiminality should be produced. Upon hearing the testimony the court caused him to lie surrendered. For this act. done under a treaty, and after the fullest examination by dicial authority of the charge against the prls oner, the Piei lent was dcr. 'un id with great sevtritv. The'Housa of RepiCsfi. stives spent many days in its discission, and might have passed a resolu tion of censure bad not John Marshall proved, in a sr eech of greit power, that under the treaty and after the examination, it was lor t:ie execu tive to in ike the surrender. Tl e manner of the arrest of Arguelles w;ss in even mure flagrant coi.tempt of established uw. It is well known l that he was taken from h s bed at night, con cealed for a short period in the city, and 'hen carried to sea in a government e-el, and put on board of the slcttntr lor Cub;. No such event ha ever t;k'ii place in this country beiore. It is doubtful whether any other government would at the present d y exercise i-s authority in such a manner. It will hardly l claimed that extradition would be more reiiiiy granted to powers wi.h which we h ov no trea'ies than to those with wtich we hive them. It wi'.l therefoie be i;stiuctive to sec what s leguirds u ive b-.en thro n aru:id the liberty of persons uemmdel under tre ity s'.ij ul tions The treaties provide that a delivery shall he miie "only on such evidence of crmina ity as according to the laws of the pi ice wiere the fugitive or person chirgel slull te found would justify his aptrehcnsion arid com mitaient of tri I if the crime or oSe:;se had been tlere committed." i.ni provision i rc ide both by tie treitie and act of Congre-s to afford the a leged fugitive a full and fair hetrinj. Let us compare this rule ith the proceedings in the case bfore ui The only evidence against Arguelie iwtnt the captain general toll the American v.ce conul, a reported by him to Mr. Seward; and Mr Tessira's cautiou- statement that "the facts seem to be" as set forth by him. In vi Ut:ou of all rules, the proceeding of the Spanish court, and the evidence rrodured before it. are proved only by Mr. Sawyer's account of hat he heard from au oScer whose rank and duties forbid us to believe that he himelf could have been present. There are no affidavits rrociuccd nor any warrant of arrest. Upon a cae
thus deficient in all the elements of proof, no country justice would for & moment hold a pri aoner to aower. An.l jet it was deemed sufficient ground upon which to reverse the practice of the government since it foundation, and to rend from our thore, without a hearing, a man
who was within the protection of our laws and the peace oi New York. Had such conduct been charged against the Administration by a political opponent, it would hive been deemed a slander worthy of the sever est censure. It would be difficult for anything short of Mr. Seward's statements to obtain for it the belief of the public. Let us contrast the war in which the French government in I?l dealt with a similar question, with the action of Mr. Seward in this case. One Lemolgat was arrested upon his own confession that he had been concerned in a mutiny on board of the Plattsburg, an American vessel. The crime was one of the most atrocious character, and produced a. profound sensation, both here and in Europe. Mr. (tallatin, on behalf of our government, demanded that he should be delivered up for trial in the United States. The Dac de Richelieu replied that he should be given up provided the United States could promise reciprocity in similar cases, and would furnish proof by authentic documents that Lemolgat belonged to tc crew of the PUttsburg. The former point was waived upon Mr. Gallatin's statement that the laws of the United States would not allow the extradition except under a treaty. The second point was, however, insisted on, and it being found impossible to furnish the required evidence, the man was never surrendered. It is claimed that the surrender of Colonel Arguelles w as necessary to secure the liberty of many persons sold into slavery by him There may be persons so constituted as to be able to believe this story. If the governor of Cuba knew that these men were unlawfully enslaved, why did he not liberate them? If the Spanish law forbade that, unless Colonel Arguelles should first be convicted, the American law in turn forbade his surrender. If either State was to violate its laws in favor of liberty, it was surely that where the crime was committed, and not that which only gave to the perpetrator the asvlum which" it extends to all Spaniards. But however this may be, it was not necessary that the arrest should be made, without evidence, at midnight, without giving the ac cused a hearing, nor that he should be spirited away from our shores w ith the stealth natural to a Neapolitan gens d'afrnts, or a Cuban slavetrader, but which is utterly foreign to the traditions and laws of American government.
