Indignation At the Monstrous Doingt or Congress.

(From the New York World.) The Complete Overthrow of Public Libert ici. Tliis is the daakest hour since the outbreak of ihe rebellion. Congress, by the act passed yesterday authorizing the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus throughout the whole extent of the country, has consummated its Bencs of measures for laying the country prostrate and helpless at the feet of one man. It vras not enough that Mr. Lincoln has been invested with the purso and the sword: with immense power to raise or manufacture money, he has unrestricted command of the services of every able-bodied man in the country, Congress has thought it necessary to give the finishing stroke to its establishment of a military despotism; by removing all checks on the abuse of the enormjus monetary and military power with which they have clothed the President. What assurance has the country that we shall ever bare another Presidential election! None whatever, except what may Lo found in the confidence, reasonable or unreasonable, repoaou in the recitude and patriotism of Mr. Lincoln. If any person, in any part of the country, shall think it his duty to resist unconstitutional encroachments on the rights of citizens, Mr. Lincoln is authorized, by what purports to bo a law, to snatch up that individual and immure him in one of the government bastiles as long as he shall sec fit, and there is no powar any where in the natiou local! him to account. He can Bend oue of his countless provost-marshals into the house of a Governor of a State, or any other citi - zvn, in the dead of night, drag hira from h!s bid, hustle him away tinder the cover of darkness, plunge hiru in a distant and nnknown dungeon, and allow his friends to know no more of the whereabouts of his body than they would of the habitation of hi soul, if, instead of imprisoning, the provost-marshal had murdered hira. With this tiemendous piuer over the lib erty of every citizen whom he may suspect, or w hom he may choose to imprison without su-pecting, the President is asabsoluti a despot as th.j Sulton of Turkey AW the gtarauiees of liberty are broken down; we ial lie at the feet of one man, dependent on hi capricj for every hour's exemption I f om a b-tstile. If he wills it the State tjovernimnts may continue in the dis-i-chari.; of their fun .-tions, but if he wills it. every one of them that docs not become submissive and finb5?rvient tool can be it once puepended ly the impiisonment of .ta officer. Consideiing the enormous p wer cvifarrcd on the President by the Financ nnd Conscription Bills, a reasonable j a'ously would have created additional safeguards against its abuse. Inge id f that, Congress has thrown down all the old barriers and left us absolutely without shelter in the greatest violence of .he tempest. So far as the detestable act passed yesterday 19 an act of indemnity to shield the President from the legal consequences of fast exertions ofarbitrarypower.it is a confession that he, his secretaries, provost marshals and othar minions have been acting in violation of law. It annuls all laws passed by the State Legislatures for the protection of their citizens against kidnappinf, it provides for taking all suits for damages out of the State courts and trans ferriog them to the Federal tribunals, and before those tribunals the ladt that the in jury complained of was done under color of executive authority is declared toben füll and complete defense. It even inflicts penalties on persons coming before the courts for redress of injuries by declaring th it if they are not successful the defendant shall recover double costs. So that the aggrieved party roust uke tho rtk of this penalty for venturing to ascertain, in a ccurt of justice, whether his oppressor was or was not aciing under the authority f the President. To this alarming pas have matters come, that not only does every citizen hold his liberty at the mercy of one man, but h is liable to be punished for imjuiriog whether the person arresting him really possesaed, or only falsi y pretended to possess, that man's authoriThe attempt to disguise tho odious character of this detestable act by a sham pro vision in iti eccond section is an insult to the intelienco of the people. "The Sec retary of State and the Secretary of War," So itreo.d, "are directed, as soon at may he practicable;" to furnieh to the judges of the courts lists of the names of the pereons ai rested that they may be p presented to a grand jury for indictment. And who is to judge of this practieahlity? Why, the Secretaries themselves, or the Presi dent for them. They will furnish such lists whenever it suits their pleasure, and not before. There is not only no penalty for neglecting to do this altogether, but the main jmrpofe of the act h to protect

these officers, and all persons acting under their directions, against all legal penalties fo all arrests whenever made, and all detentions in prison, however long protracted. The ninety days during which Congress has now been in session are the last ninety days of American freedom. Our liberties had previously been curtailed and abridged by executive encroachments, but the courts remained open for redress of wrongs. But this Congress has rendered their overthrow complete, by first putting the purse and the svrcrd in the hands of the Preeident and then assuring him ot complete impunity in all abuses of this enormous, this dangerous, this tremendous power. Order from the ITIilitary CouimaUnut of Indiana. Headquarters U. S. Forces. Indianapolis, Ixd. March 17, 1S03, General Ordir No. 15. 1. The habit of carrying arms upon the

! person has greatly increased, and is pre judicial to peace and good order, as well as a violation of civil law. Especially at this time it is impolitic, unnecessary, and - - dangerous. The Mrjr General commanding the Pe partraent of the Ohio having ordered that 'all tales of arms, powder, lead, and per cussion caps be prohibited till further or ders, and that any violatiou of said order will be followed by the confiscation of the goods sold and the seizure of the stock of the vender" and said order having been extended, by the Major General command ing to cover the entire department, is hereby promulgated for immediate observance throughout this State 11. The recent p pular demonstration against a newspaper of this State is bad in principle, bad ia precedent, and destruc live to the best intere&ts of the Common wealth- It must be deeply regretted by every good citizen, inasmuch as there are reasonable and lawful modes of redress for real grieveaneos, and all appeals to popu lar violeiice are two-odged in their strokes aasailinn the vcrv liberties tbev is?ume to vindicate. ITknrv D. Caurikotov. Col. ISih.U. S. Int., Commanding. Turning the Tab 1 vs. Thurlow Weed, one of the oldtst and most eminent of the Republican journalists, condemns in the severest terms the course of the New York Tribune and the class of publications which it represent, in refer ence to the present troubles of tho country. The strictures of Mr. Weed will find application in Indiana. He intimates Fort Lafayette for the editor and the suppres sion of the Tribune. This is becoming a serious business. It would indeed be curious if the radical organ should be drivon to ask the protection of Governor Seymour, but no ore can tell to what passes these times may bring him. Mr. Weed charge of the responsibility of that papor for the horrors of war i? forcible, and also true. After quoting from the Tribune a few of the secession articles which appeared in that print after the election of Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Weed proceeds as follows: On the 0th of November, 1C60, Mr. Greely not only vindicated the "right" of the cotton State to leave the Union, but said he would "rcsitt all coercivo means to keep them in it." On the 20th of tho same month, he not only paid that he thought thu "cotton States should be allowed to withdraw from the Union," but objected to the use of "force" to preserve that Union. On the 23 ot Fbuary, 1CG'2, he declar ed that when the Southern people became "alienated from the Union, aud anxious to escape from the Union, he would do his best to forward their views It will be seen therefore, that Mr. Gree ly not enly invited the cotton Stales to go out of tae Union, but insisted that they should be permitted to go, adding that he "would do his best to forward their views." At whose door does the "lie" rest? In one particular Mr. Greely has kept his word. He has done "his best" to get the slave States out of the Union, and to keep them out. His great but baneful influence has been potent in uniting the South, and dividing the North. Again, as to his saying, in the darkest day of the war, that wo must put down th rebellion in "sixty days," or "make peace on the bost attainable teime," I summon Mr. Greely into Court as a witness: If three months more of earnest figting shall not serve to make a seiious impression on the Rebels if the end of that term shall find us no further advanced than its beginning if some malignant fate has decreed that the blood and treasure of the nation shall ever be squandered in fruitless efforts let us bow to our destiny, and make the btt attainable peace." Though ninety instead of sixty days were given the Government to conqusr the rebellion, before "bowing to our destiny" and making "the best attainable peace," vet his argument wag that tbe batth; tben

imminent under the auspices of Gen. Burn8ide, would be decisive. His language was that in the conflicts then daily apprehended, we must either "whip" or be "whipped," and if "whipped," we must "bow to our destiny." Mr. Greely, however, did not abide his own time for his countrys humiliation, for he rushed immediately into correspondence with the French Minister and Mr. Vallandigham for the "best attaiuable peace." Finally, upon this point, Mr. Greely's position is: 1. He defended the right of the cotton States to dissolve the Union. 2. lie declared that if they choose to avail themselves of thai ' right," any attempt to restrain them, would be "contrary to the ideas on which human liberty is based." 3. That he would do his best to forward the views" of slave States "anxious to escape" from the Union. 4. That if our Government, "at the end of three months' earnest fighting," failed to subdue the rebellion, its duty would be to make the best attainable peace. Now, I assert unhesitatingly, thal'for the expression of sentiments less disloyal and unspeakably less mischevous for Mr. Greeley's dislojal utterances reached and isfluenced hundreds of thousands, fifty men have found themselves in Forts Lafayette and Warren. His craven, treacherous signal thrown to the enemy, encouraging them to perseverence for "three months," after which we should "bow to our destiny," will cost us thousands of lives and millions of treasure. It is known that, comprehending, as early as December, 1S0O, both the certainty and the formidable character of the rebellion, I endeavored, if it could not be averted, to at least narrow its boundaries. On this point Mr. Groely sajs: 4Mi. Weed's personal subversion his editorial assoo'ates, even so early a3 the last of 18(0, or the first of ISol, having felt const raiued publicly to disclaim all participation in or sympathy with Mr. Weed's amazing support of Senator Critterdeo's so called compromse, which involved a surrender by tho Republicans of the main distinguishing principle for which thev had ever contended." I wis earueatly in favor of a proposition

which the loyal members of Congress from the "Jiorder States" agreed upon, and which would have tied thoso Stiles to the Union, thus narrowing the rebellion to the Gulf and Western Missippi. State. And I as earnestly urged, the formation fif the Presidents Cabinet, the selection of two of its members from North Carolina and Tennessee, 6o that from the Mississippi to the Atlantic, the southern line of those States would be the frontier of rebellion. These two objects, with all the advanta ges resulting from them, were defeated by Abolitionism. For the long train of dis asters and horrors that followed, to the bereaved widows and orphans whose sa bles darken the land, and to the battred forms and broken constitutions of the thousands who are to drag out their eiistnce without legs or arms, the Greeleys, Sumners, Thdlipses, (fcc are largely responsible. Rut Mr. Greely dreads as the worst ca lamity, an "infernal compromise whereby this whole country, bound hand and foot, shall b3 delivered over to the accursed slave power." And yet, what is Mr. Gieeley driving at but an infernal com promise?" What but an ''infernal compro mise" was the object of his letters to M. Mercier and Mr. Vallandigham? What but an 'infernal compromise" is "the best attainable peace" Is Mr. Greeley dement ed that he involves himself in fuch contrac tions and absurdities? I would not obtrude Mr. Greeley or myStflf upon the public atention for any mere personal rcasoL. I rollow him up because he has held and abused a mighty power. His teachings have diseased the popular miad. His journal has perverted the judgment and misled the sympathies of tho nation. His insolence has sbakeu and his threats paralyzed the army and the Government. It is lime that an engine so potent Tor evil, driven by ambition, revenge and fauatisism, should be either "switched off," or deprived of its mo'-iv power. The New York Tribune, in first encouraging rebellion! in then aggravating its horrers, laboring steadily to unite the South and dovide the Norh; and now, whn courage and fidelity are more than ever oeded, in demanding "the bfst attainable peace," has done quite mischief enough. "I go through my work," as tho nnsdle said to the idle boy. "Rut not till you are hard pushed," said the idle boy. JtfTWhat ware the first words Adam said to Eve? Nobody knows. The greatest miriclo ever wrought by love is thu reformation of a coquette. To grow; up to the skies, we must first be planted low in tie dust.

Tili; UEJIOCRATIC PAKTY. We suppose it will not be controverted in any intelligent quarter, that since the organization of the government under the Constitution, down to the election of Mr. Lincoln, it ia tha Democratic party that has maintained the honor, extended the territory, controlled tha policy, formed the traditions, anb made the history of the countv. We ask the men who so industriously traduce the Democratic party and impute to it treasonable purposes, to consider the fact that it is this party which conferred on tho old Union the greatness and glory which gave it security at home and consideration abroad. It was maligned when it opposed the Alien and Sedition laws and elected Jefferson; it was vehemently opposed when it purchased Louisiana; it was denounced when it made war with great Rritain to maintain the rights of our commerce on the seas; an infuriated outcry was raised against it when it annexed Texas, prosecuted a successful war against Mexico and brought in California and other valuable territory. Rut time and the unanimous approval of the next generation have, in every instance, vindicated the wisdom of the Democratic party. Every Federal Senator, except Dayt:n, voted against the ratification of Jefferson's treaty for the purchase of Louisiana, and the Federal istH in the House opposed the measures necessary for its execution, but who, in the next generation, would have ben willing to see that vast and magnifietnt teeritory, which stretches from the Mississippi westward, again in the possession of a foreign power Who was there, ten years after the annexation of Texas, that would have been base enough to have willingly seen it given up? What old opponent, of the war with Mexico wishes California out of tha Union? The Republican party, it is true, during the whole period of the strugglo by which it rose to power and destroyed the Union, was in the habit of declaiming against

what they called tho perversion of the government :n the acquisition of territory on our southern border for extendiog the area of slavery; but the lepublicans dare not now confess a wish to see these acquisitions out of the Union. By fighting tb retain what they opposed the Democracy in acquiring, (hey make a tacit admission that the Democrats havo always been in the right and their opponents always in the wrong. The Democratic parly, in the face of violent and abusive opposition, began and conducted the only two glorious wars we havo evdr had under the Constitution; in the facti of similar opposition it carrid the national flag and extended the national authority over territory three times as ex tensive as wa3 possessed at the formation of the government: it made the Monaoe doctrine the tradition and "manifest destiny" to supremacy on this continent the sentiment and hope of the country; it has been the embodyment of that "national pride zr.ti irrepressible ambition by which a young country marks out for itself a high career and attains greatness and empire. The qualities which have enabled the Dem ocratic party to make tho history of the country are mainly these .two: boldness and a true national instinct. The boldness of the party is evinced by the fact that all its great measures have, from the moment they were announced, encountered a storm of infuriated vituperation, before which it never for a moment quailed, but which it always met with resolute defiance. The correctness of its national instincts, which has proved a truer guide than the sagacity of statesmen, iw established by the fact that though its measures have always been furiously opposed at the time, they have been universally indorsed by the next generation. It ia only by these mas ter qualities of boldness and a true national instinct, that our country can again be restored to unity and health, which is but another form of saying it can be done oidy by the Democratic party. All the seperate measures of the Demo cratic party have been the logical conse quence, or, lo speak more correctly, the natural and sp"ntaneous outgrowth of the instinctive i'opulso toward national greatress, which has always been the ruling passion ot the party. It is this which has fed its thirbt for territorial aggrandizement; which has given birth to the Monroe doctrine, which has inspired the hopes of manifest destiny, which has taken fire at every affront to our flag on the soas, and declared tho deck of every ship that carries that flag aa inviolable a the soil of the national territory. Thi same instinct has taught the Democracy that immense erritorics avail little without a corresponding population; hence its uniform hospitality and kindline to foreigners; hence its opposition to the Alien law which it made odious, and to tho more recent Know Nothing party, which it destroyed. This same impulse toward national greatness has made it tolerant of sectional differences and diversity of institution, from an In

stinctive feeling tkat the arraying of sec

tion against section is even more destructive of consolidated national strenh than the arraying of class against class, of natives against foreigners, or tho rich against the poor. The instinct of the Democratic masses has always been in the right, and the unexampled power and popularity of their leaders hav6 resulttd less from the statesmanship however high that may have been than from their ever quick and sympathetic perception of the feelings cf tho masses, and the assured confidnce with which they counted on their support. Measures must of course change with the fluctuating circumstances of the country and tha vicissitudes of affairs; but the turn of sentiment and way of thinking in which the measures of the Democratic party have had their birth, must be as permanent as our hopes of national greatness. The Democratic paity instinctively felt, from the beginning, that the success of the Abolitionists Mould deetroy the Union, and it has no confidence that the policy of these pseud a -philanthropists, who care more for the welfare of the black race than for the greatness and honor of their country, will ever restore it. That is tha work of the Democratic party, who will never consent to the contraction of the national boundaries which it has always been its policy to extend. It expects the co-operation of other conservative men, but conservatism out of the Democratic party has never had the moral intrepidity and political courage which qualified it for enterprising leadeaship and uncompromising defiance of temporary clamor, yew York World. Peaee Iroposilions. Hon. F. Wood addicfitted the electors of Stamford, Conn, a few days ago, and in the course of his remarks said that on the 12th day of December last propositions for an armistice, or peace, were left in the hands of the President which had been tehv adopted, would have settled our national difficulties by the 1st of April, amicably, and to the satisfaction of the people both North and South. Ofthat matter he was assured; but the propositions he was bound as a gentleman to withhold from the public until such time as he could make them known without violating his honor. The Evening Post sneered at and criticised this statement, demanding why, if true, and the propositions submitted were honorable ones, they were not made public at once? Mr. Wood has published a card in response, saying. To which I say in reply that the statement referred to was made bv mc deliberately, with a full and personal knowledge of the ficte, and that I am constrained from the publicity of them only by the request of one of the principal officers of the Gov ernment. When this interdiction shall be withdrawn I will cheerfully gratify your cur'.otity. Very respectfully, &c, FERNANDO WOOD. A Holler dat Ever D.w. U: B.says he overheard the following "rail-fence soliloquy" the other evening, during the rain, from an individual who was tightually slight:" "Siog'lar a fel (hie) lor cau't go out to hev a little rec' ration 'thout it must (hie) rain, just as if it badn't rained, sices New Year'a day last An (hie) gust.

The Delaware LegislatureThe following preamble and resolution have passed both branches of the Gensral Assembly of Delaware: Whereas, The government of the United States aud the several States are governments of laws, within the limits of which all officials find their rightful powers, and outside of which no ofTi.-ial ha? any just claim to power or to obedienc from his felow-citiz:ns; and Whereas, William Cannon, the Governor of this Slate, in h's inaugural address, has avowed the falsa and dangerous doctrine that "reasonable ground for sunpision" can justify the arbitrary arrest and incarceration in prison, far removed from the districts of their residence, of citizens against whom no warrant has been issued or charge made according lo law, ar.d his unblushingly published Lis approval of these cruel and lawless arrets cf his own fellow citizens; and Whereas, lie has thus proved himself by this avowel the weak but willing tool of Federal usurt atioo, aud a Governor urworthy the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens one to whom they cao look for no just protection of rheir rrghts of person aixl of property; therefore, be it Resolved, That th doctrines of Governor Cannon's address in regard to- arbitrary and lawless arrests are, if carried out, fatal to constitutional liberty; destructive of the peace aud security of our people, and deserve and hereby receive, at the hands of the Legislature of Delaware, prompt and indignant repudiation, and are declared worthy of the severest reprehension of a people irho inherit the privilege of freemen and wish to pre-rve them uaimpaiicd.

What Tiisv Wjerk Going 70 do With Him. A few days since, a party of eight Carolinan emigrants, en route for Oregon, i v sed through Danville, Mis-ouri. Whii? stopping to make some purchase. o::e cf them was pounded upon by a lawyer of the town, who dealt largely in the not exclusive Yankee recreation, asking questions. The emigrant was quite comunicauve; und told him they were going to found a town; the pursuit of each person was a!r ady marked out, and there was no drones among them. He was to open a store. And that? Start a b!acksm;thin slo And the other standing behind him? Lngaging in sheep raising. So they wore nearly inventoriz?d, when a decripid, white haired oetogenarmn, aneestr of half the company, and looking vetierablo enough for old Tinic himself, W;i$ observed sittnz Q one of the wagons. "Why, who is that" asked the e-ir lawyer. :That U myfailnr." "What is he going to do? He can't be of any use to your settlement."
