Iii tory it full of each instance. How are auch par lift to be protected, if a public trial, at the op tioo of the Eteculive, can be denied them, and a teeret one, io whole or in part, tubatituted?

A trial to conductei, though it may uot, at no; doubt ia the case with the preient.be intended to procure the punishment of any but the guilty, it ia obvious, auoject the ionoccut to great dan ger. It partakes more of the character of the Inquisition, which the eulihteoed civiliiation of the age bat driven altnuu wholly out of cia;. eoce, than of a tribunal tutted to a tree people. Io the palmiest daye of that tribunal Kiops, aai well at people, atood abashed in its presence and dreaded its power. The accused w it never in formed of the oamet of hit accutort. Heresy uspected wta ample jruund for arrest; accom plices and criminal were received as itnessea, and the whole trial wn secret and conducted iu a chamber almoit a silent at the grave. It was long since denounced by the civilized world, not because it might Dot at all times pun ish the heretic, (then, in violation of all rightful human power, deemed a criminal,) but becu.e it wis likely to puoi.h the iouueeotas the guilty. A public trial, therefor, by which the names of witness tod the tewnonj are siren, even ia monarchical and despotic govern roents.i now ea (ted amply adequate to ihe punishment of guilt, and eieotitl to the protection of iuno- coace.

It will be do answer to theae observation! to ay thtt this particular trial ha. been only iu part a secret one and that secrecy will never b reported to except for purpose of j w.ice. The reply h that the prin ciple itself ia iacoo.iiteat with American liberty at recognized and secured by constitutional guaran tees. It fjppoiC9 thtt whether theie guarantees ' are to be enjoyed In the particular case, and to what extent, itdependent on Executive will. The Constitution in this regard ia designed to secure them io spite of such will. Itt patriotic authors intended to place the cid zen, in this particular, wholly beyond the power, not only of the Executive, but of every depart ment of th Government. They deemed the right to a public trial vital to the security of the citizen, and especially and absolutely nece-siry to hit protection against Execntire power. A public trial of all criminal proiecutions they therefore secured in geueral and unqualified ( terms. What would these grett men have said Lad they been a-tked to to qualify the terms at to warrant its refusal under auy circumstance, and ( make it dependent upou Executive discretion? The member who made the inquiry would have been deemed by them a traitor to liberty, or in ane. What would they have paid if told that without auch qualification the Executive could be able legally to impose it as iucidental to the Executive power? If not received with derision, it would have been indignantly rejected as an , Imputation upon those who at any time thereafter should legally oil the offico. II. Let me prescut the quettion in another view. If euch a commission at this, lor the trial of cases like the present, can be legally con stituted, can it be doue by mere Executive authority ? 1. You are a court, and, it legally existiug, endo wad with momentous power, the highest known to man, that of passing upon the life or , liberty of the citizen. lij the express words of the Constitution, an army can only be raised, and governed, and regulated by lawa passed by Con gress. In the exercise of the power to rule and govern it, the act before referred to, of the 10th of April. lfUr, establishing the articles of war, was passed. Tne act provides only for courta martial and courts of inquiry, and designates the cates to be tried before eich, and the laws that are to govern the trial. Miliury commissions are not mentioned, and, of course, the act con taint no provision for their government. Now, it io submitted as perfectly clear, that the crea tion of a court, whether civil or military, is an exclusive legislative function, belonging to the department upon which the legislative power is conferred. The jurisdiction of such a court, and th lawa and regulations to guide and govern it, M also exclusively legislative. What cases are to be tried by it. bow the judges are to be selected, tod how qualified; what are the rules of evidence and what punishment are to b indicted, all s.dely belong to tne tame department 1 be very ele ment of constitutional liberty, recognized br al modern writers on government, as esseutial to its security, tad carefully incorporated into our Constitution, is a separation ot the legislative judicial, and executive powers. That this aeparttion is made by our Constitution no one will deny. Article First de a. .i .it a. i. c I area taat - an legiatauve powers tmeiu granted shall be vested tu a Congress Article 'id Teats " the executive power " in a Presitiut and article JJ, " t&e judicial power in certatu designated courts, and ia courta to be theretlter , constituted by Long reit. There could not be a more careful aegrrgttion of the three porra If, theo, courta, their laws, modes of proceeding and judgments, belong to legislation (and this, I appose, will not be questioned) in the absence of legislation to regard to this court, and its ju risdiction to try the present cases, it has for that purpose oo legal existence or authority. The Executive, whose functions are altogether cxe cutite, cannot confer it. The cSYcsfs to be tried by it. the laws to govern iu proceedings, the punishment It may award, cannot, for the same reason, bo prescribed by the Executive. Thee. ts w 1 a the mere coulitulion of tb court, all exclusively belong to Congress Kit be con tended that the Executive has the power in qor lion beau by lmpl;ctlun thr re iuvolvei ia the war power or ia the rmidrnt'a cousli tuuonal function aa Commander in Chief of tb army, tbea tbi conseqaenc would fol- .a .a ll.a . low, icti me would not be mbject to Cobcreasiooal control, as that department hs no car right to tuterfer with the power of the Executive thin that power has a right to inter ' f erw with that of Congress.

To be effective, therefore, it must be in one, and ' the Constitution giv it to on, to Coogr", id e i preis terra, and Lowhfre intimates a purpe to bestow it, or any portion of it. upon any de rartmect. Io the absence, then, of all me:;ti in of Military Coami&sions in the Constitution, and 1 io the pretence of the sole authority it confers oa Congress by rules of its own enacting to gov ero and regulate the army; and io the absence of all mention of such commissions in the act of the I'Hh of April, Ifc&G, and of a single word io that act, or in any other, bow ca the power be considered at in the President? Further, upon whit groucd, other than lhoc I have enmir.rd, can h:s authority be placed: j Is it that the constitutional gutriutces reirrted j to are designed only for a state of reace? Tl.rre : is not a syllable in the instrument that justiSfs, even plausibly, such a qualification. They are j secured by the most general and coapreb endive terms, wholly icon&istent with any restriction. They are also not only not confined to a condi tion of peir, but are more peculiarly necessary to the tecum v of personal liberty in war than in peace. All history tells us that war, at limes, maddens the people, frccxiei government, aud makes botii regardless of constitutional limita tion! of power. Individual safety at such periods it more in peril than at any other. Contitu tiooal limitations and guarantees are then lsj absolutely te:esary to the proifctiou of the Government itself. The maxim "talus pvpuU $uprma tit Um' is but fit for a tyrant's use. Under tta pretence the grossest wrong l.ave been committed, the most awful crimes per petrated, and every principle of freedom violated, until at laat, worn down by suf fering, the people. In very depair, have acqui esced ia a lesulting t'espolisu). Tho safety which liberty tieeds, and without which itcickena and dies, is that which law, and not mere un licensed homan will slTords. The Aristotelian maxim, ' alu$ publica tuprttnt est lex " " let the public we.il be under the protection of the law "is the true and only safe maxim Nature without law would be chaos, government with out law anarchy, or despotism Against both, in war and iu peace, the Constitution happily protects us. If the power in question is claimed uudcr the authority supposed to be given the President in certain cases to susrend the writ of habeas corvut I r m j and to declare martial law, the claim is equally if cot more evidently untenable. Because tho first of these powers, if given to the President at all, is given " when in cases of rebellion or in vasion " he deems tho public safety requires it. I think bo hat this power, but there are great and patriotic names who think otherwise. But if he bat it, or It be in Congress alone, it is en tirely untrue that itt exerclso works any other result that the tutpensioa of the writ the tem porary suspension of the righi of having the cause of arrest passed upon at once by the civil judges. It In no way impairs or suspeu Js the other rights tec u red to the accused. In wbat court be is to be tried, bow he is to be ttied, what eridence to be admitted, in J what judgment pronounced, are all tu be wbat the Constitution secures and the laws provido in similar cases when there is oo suspension of the writ. The purpose of the writ ia merely, with out delay, to ascertain the legality of the arrest. If adjudged legal, the party is detained; if ille gal, discharged. But in either contingency, when he is called to answer any criminal accu sation, and he is a civilian and not subject to the articles of war, constitutionally enacted by Con gress, it must be done by preeentmest or indict ment, and hit trial be had iu a civil court, hav ing, by State and Congressional legislation, juris diction over the crime, and uuder the laws gov erning the tribunal aud definicg the punishment. The very fact, too, that express power is given in a certain condition of things, to suspend the writ referred to, and that no power is given to suspend or deny any of the other securities for personal liberty provided by the Constitution, is conclusivo to show that all the latter were de signed to be in force "iu cases of rebellion or in vasion," ts well at in a stite of perfect peace and safety. III. I have already referred to the act of ISOb establishing the articles of war, and taid, what must be admitted, that it provides for no military court like this; but, for argument's sake, let it be admitted. And I then maintaia, with becom ing confidence, and due respect for a difference of opinion, thu it does not embrace the crime charged against these parties or the parties them selves First Tbe charge i? a traitorcus conspiracy the lives of the designed persons "in aid io taue me lives oi tne ue.igueJ per of the existing armed rebellion." Second. That in the eieruiion of tho conspiracy the actual murder of the late President and the attempted murder of the Secretary of State occurred. Throughout the charge and its specifications the conspiracy and its attempted execution are al iged to nave been traitorous. The accusation, therefore, is Dot one merely of murder, but of murder designed and part accomplished with traitorous purpose. If the charge is true and the intent (which it made a tubstatial part of it) be also true, theo the crime it treason and not a tiniple murder. Treason tgainst the United States, tt defined by the Conttitution, can "consist only in levying war against them, or io adhering to their ene mies, giving them aid and comfort," (3d art.) This definition not only tells us what treason is. but that no other crime than thedeiued one shall be considered the offense. Aod the same section provides that "no person shall be convicted of treason except on the testimony of two witceses to the tame overt act, or on confession in open court; and gives to Congress the power to de clare what its punishment shall be. The offense io tht general it the tame as in Englaud. In that country, at do period lince its freedom be came aettled, hat any otber treason been recog nized. Io the pendency of this rebellion (never before) it bat been alleged that there exists with us the offense of military treason, punishable by the laws of wtr. It is to titled in the instruc tion of General llalleck to the then commanding officer in Tennessee, of the 5th of March, lbG3. ( Lawrence't Whearon, eupp't, p 41) But Hal leck coofinet it to actt committed against the luniy of a belligerent when occupying the terri tory or tne enemy. And be says, wuat is cer tainly true, if such an offense can be committed, thst it "is broadly distinguished from the treason defined in the consiitulional and statutory laws, and made punishable by the civil courts." Tut the term military treason is not to be found in any English work or military order, or, before this rebellion, io any American authority. It has evidently bsen adopted during: the rebellion, as a doctrine of military law, oa the authority of .continental writers in Governments les free than those of Ecgland and the United States, aud in which, because the? aro less fret, treason is not made to consist of certain specific acts, and no others. But if llalleck it right, and all our prior pric tice, and that of England, from which we derive ours, is to be abandoned, the cases before you are not case of "military treason," at be defines it. Vheu the oflecrei alleged iu these cases are utated to have occurred !n this district, the United States were not, and did not claim to be ia its occupation ts a belligerent, nor wat it pretended that the people of this district wrre. in a belligerent tense, enemies. On the contrary, thev were citiiens, entitled to every right of cit- ix-asfnp. or were the partict on trial enemies They were either citizens of the D .strict or of Ma iland, and under the protection of the CootitH- tion. The offense charged, then. hing treason, it is treason known to tbe Constitution and lw, and can rely be tried and punished as they provide. To consider these priiee tllisrerenu. and their alleged otTeuse military treasou, is Dot ouly unwarranted" by the authority of llalleck, but it is in direct cocdict with the Cocslitutioo and laws, which the President and all of us are bound to support ard defend. The oflense, then, beicg treason, as known to the Cocsiitu tion, its tril by a Militsry Court is rlearlv illegal. Aod this for sbvius reasons. Un- dfr tbe Coasutulio. no outiclion of nii-h an effense can be hid "u: le on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act. or on C oIcioq iu upen court." And under the ! the parties are entitled to have "a top? of the in- diclment and a lit of the iur? i,J wi?r.M Jtb the name r.d pUcc ot tode of both at lfist three entire dt;s tsLre the trial. The ao have the rlcht to challenre cereiurtorilV thirty five of the jury, and to challenge without Imitation. And, finally, uo!etthe indictment ta!J be found by a grand jury within three years ctxt after the treaon done or committed, they shall not be prosecuted, tried or punished." ( Act 3th April, 1 Stat, at Large, pp. 118, 119.) Upon wbat possbie groucd, tterefore. can th e Commission possets the jurisdiction claimed for i? It is not alleged that it ia aubject to the rro- visions slated, acd io l's very nature it is impossi tioc, are wholly eniTailicg. Trial by jury ia all cases our hnzluh ancestor deemed (as Story correctly tells ws) "the grfst bulwark of their civil and political liberties, acd watched with an unceasing jealousy and solicitude. It constituted one of the fundamental articles of Magna Charta.

At times during the rebellion it has been dire j garded anJ vier.ie! The motr.e:itous r.turc of the i riAis brought about by that stupend ju? ciae, involving as it did the very life of the na tion, l.asctustd the people to toUrte such dis regard and dcuial. Bjt the rri:, thank God ! has pvsoed. The authority of thu Government, throughout our territoriil limit is reisstttM firm that re:iin; men here ul eUewhere aro com irced that the danger has pased never to ie:urn. The result pruTet that the principles on wDwh the GoTernment reU bave impirKni to it a vitality that will i au'e it to endure for a tiaic, to spite of foreign invasion cr domestic insurrec tion; and one of thoie principles, the choicest one, is the right in cases of " criminal proiecu tions to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, ana in case oi treason io me aujiuouai securities belore averted to. 1 be great purpose of Magna Charta and the Constitution was, (to quote Story again,) " to guard against i spirit of opposition and tyranny on the part of rulers, and against a spirit of violence and vindictiveness on the part of the people." " The appeal for sifety can. under such circumstances, scarcely be made by innocence, in any other manner than by the severe control of courts of justice, and by the firm and impartial verdict of a jury sworn to do right, and guided solely by legal evidence and a sense of duty. In such a course there is a dcuble security against the prejudices of judget who may partake ot the withes and opinions of the govern ment, and sgainst the passions of the multitude, who miy demand their victim with a clamorous precipitancy." Acd Justice Blackstone, with the same deep tense of its value, meets the predic tion of a foreign vriter, "that because Rome, Sparta, aud Carthage, at the time when their lib erties were lost, were strangers to tho trial br jury " (3 r.la., p 379 That a right to val ued and esteemed by our fithcrs to be eceesary to civil liberty, so important to the very existence of a free Government, was desired by them to bo made to depend for its erjormeLt upon the war power, or upon any power entrusted to any department of our Government, is a reflection on their intelligence and patriotism. Mr. Johnson then proceeded, at considerable length, to establish the proposition that "the ar ticles of war, if they provided for the punish ment of crimes on trial, and authorized euch a court at this, do not include such parties as are on trial; aod, until the rebelhoj, 1 am Dot aware that a diCerent construction was ever intimated. It is the exclusive fruit of the rebellion." In the' course of bil elaborate argument Mr. Johnson ? s: As couqd1 lor one of the parties I should esteem mjiflf dLshouored if 1 attempted to icscue my client from a proper trial fcr the offense charged against her by denying the juriit diction of the commission upon ground that I did not conscientiously believe to be sound. And ic what I bave done 1 have not more had in view the defense of Mrs. Surratt than the Constitu tion and the laws. In my view, in this respect, her cause is the cause of every citizen, and let it not be supposed that I am seeking to secure im puuity to any one who may hive bcea guilty of the horrid crimes of the nicht of the 14th of April Over thce the civil court of this dis trict h.ave an:p!e ' itir'ailiption utvl will f'.iIlhfiiMv exercise it if ... j , tho cases are remitted to theai, is legally esiab'.uhed. will surely and if guilt award the Dunishmeat known to the laws.

A word more, gentlemen. Mid, thanking you for your kind attention, I am done. I bave not remarked on the evidence ia the case of Mrs. SurrUt. nor is it mv purpose. But it is proper that I refer to her case in particular for a single moment. That a woman well educated acd, us Ur us we can judge from all her past lite, ts we hare it in the evidence, a devout Christian, ever kind, affectionate and charitable, with no motive disclosed to us that could have caused a total change in her very nature, could have partici pated in the crimes ia question it is almost im possible to believe. Such a belief can only be forced upon a recsonable. unsuspecting, unprej udiced mind b? direct and uncontradicted evi dence coming frcm pure and perfectly unsus pected eouices. Have we these? Is the evidence uncontra dicted? Are the two witnesses, Wiechman and Lloyd, pure aud unsuspected? Of the particu lart of lliQir evidence I tay nothing. They will be brought before you by my tssociates. lint this conclusion in regtrd to these witnesses must have weight io the minds of the court, and is certainly strongly Impressed upon my own, that if the facts which they themselves state at to their connection wi;h Booth and Payne are true, their participation in them is much more satisfactorily established than the alleged knowledge and tr ticipation of Mrt. Surratt. As far, gentlemen, as I am con?erned, the case is now in your hands. DAILY SKNT1NEL. TaEUXlOX-;T HVAT lF. UKSIBVEU. IJactso F1UDAY MORNING. JUNE 23 uoYUitxnu tiourox o i.inritvrv. The Journal, the Court organ, thus reports Goreroor Morton's reception speech on Wednes day last: "Jefferson had said that 'freedom could oulv be maintained by cherishinr the sentiment that liberty was the gilt of God to every creature in the world.

These expressions of His Excellency ate in direct antagonism, if he is correctly reported, as we suppose he is The Governor is oppo-ed.it appears, to any restraint upon the liberty of the citizen by constitution or charters he favors liberty without the restraints of law. While ex pressing this sentiment he holds, at the strne time, that the rirciple of confederation is all wrong, and that the General Government cannot exist unless power is centraliied. If he means anything by "the principle of nations.1 unity," it is that State Rights, aiid by this we do not meau the doctrine of nullification or secession by States, must be obliterated and that the States must bear the same relation to the Federal Government that cnuntie do to tbe States We should have a queer Gov ernment if the idesi of the Governor, as reported. were adopted. In the first place we hould have liberty without the restraints of law, anJ then a ceotralizcd despotism, like France, Austria or Ku!s'a, which would urerjibiJow the rights or individual liberty of tle citizen.

Dodglus; tbe laaue Tte riatioriit of Che Ohio Keptibllcnn C'onvmttoii The Republicans of Ohio met in State Con ventiorrt WeJnesday, an 1 adopted the follow ing platform: Whereas.

That the nam-; aud f ime of Abra ham Lincoln stand oat from the history of the epoch ULrivaled and alone; and while we deplore bis untimely and cruel death, and venerate his memory, it becomes us to imitate his wisdjm. firmness and moderation in the treatment of vexed questions, tad especially to imitate Lis example in waiting for the soiution of difficulties, to be furnishei by the progress of time and tho logic of events. ii. That Treidcnt Andrew Johnson, by bis un swerving devotion to the Union through years of severest trul, lias now our highest confidence; that we cheerfully endorse the policy of bis Ad ministration, looking to the restoration of peace and civil order in the so called seceded States; and that, ts Union men of Ohio, we will give him our hearty and undivided support. 3. Thit the thauks of Ohio tnd the nation ere due to the heroic of our army and navy, whose labors and sufferings have served the republic. We honor our martyred dead, and joyfully wel come to their homM our returning veterans. 4. That the thanks of this Convention are d'.c, and are hereby tendered, t j the loyal men and wOmen of Ohio at home, who hive so DJb'v atd liberally sustained and cheered our brave eoldiers in the field, in their trying efforts to maintain the national authority in con Act with the armed re bellion. 3. That focr jears of stb&uiuary war, with itafoirfcl sicrifieo of lifeond ot treasure, fon-td upon us by the slaveholders of the rebellion, has demonstrated to us and to the world, thit slavery and its institutions die irreconcilably opposed to freedom and free institution, and all the teach ings of history, the dealicgs of Providence and our own bitter experience, pjint unerringly to the'r overthrow and eradication as our only safe guard against the recurrer.ee of like evils in the future 6. That while we are anxious for au early re construction of fraternal relations with the in surgent States, we demand tint such reconstruc tion shall be at such time and upon such terms as will givo unquestioned assurance of the peace and security, not only of the loyal people of the rebel States, but also of the reace anJ pruperiiy of the Federal Union. 7 That the the thanks of the loyal people of Ohio and the Union are due to the three war Governors of Ohio, Dennis jd, Todd and Hrouh, for the earnest, faithful arid patriotic exctci-eof the Executive authority of our Sute during their respective administrations, and that through their efforts and the hearty co-operation of our loyal people, citizens atd koldiers, Ohio stands in the front rank of the roll of honor among her sister States in the jrrcat Ptruggle for national exis tence 8.

That we will cordially support the ticket this day nominated, and promise our collective and undivided tfforts to fecute its triamphaui flection. We call attention especially to the second res olution. We judge from its tone that the lUdi cal had no show in tbe Convention, but weie summarily Lid upon the s-helf. The Cincinnati Commercial, ia commenting upon the proceed ings of the Convention, remarks: The army delegation was a notable feature. A good many military organizations pent private soldiers as delegate?, but at least a dozen Briga dier Generals were in tbe Convention, aud there was a emart sprinkling of them outside. The number of cripples ofh'cers who bad lost an arm or a leg in the service was remarkable. There was a painful plenty of empty tlcevcs and of crutches In the army delegation there tvs an intense bitterness against Governor Brough, and the del egates "from the front" had a sense of disap pointment in finding that they could not hsve a chance of pitching into the Governor. There were some exceptions, but the army repteaenti tion generally was solicitous for a fight with the State Executive, and had determined to slaugh ter him. Thcie ws9 talk that they would luve put up a candidate of their own if Brough had remained in the Cell and received the nomina tion. An clloit was made by the Stale Cential Com mitte to break the unity of the military power in the Convention, by distributing the delegates among their respective Congres.-ioual Distiicts This was hotly resisted, aud there was a period of great doubt as to what was to be done with the military gentlemen. Fortunately the Con tention was held iu a theatre, anJ this allowed the representatives of the army to be distinguished from the civilians, by being placed upon .be 8tse with the repotters und oJIicers of the Con vention. Some ot the military men exhibited a disposition somewhat greedy in re-pect to the offices, while ether were, perhaps, unnecefsar.ly sensitive. lest the military should get more than the proper proportion. The stay-at-home patriots might as wclisreeog tiiie, at once, that iu seeking far office, they la bor under difficulties. Meritorious service iu the array is, as it ought to be, a stronger recommen dation for public favor than the noisiest pible home guard perforin mces. Taking care of the baggage iu the rear mav be a very useful occu pation, but it will not, for a long time, count for much before the conventions of the Union war party. Among tne civilians, the manite-t disposition a . a . . oi tnemsjority was to avoiJ any decided exr.res sion upon the agitating queation of negro suf- irage iq tne Mates under treatment for recoa siruction. i Le radicals sure trctly urci g.but, wiin a tew exceptions, did not urge making an issue wnb the 1'resident.
