Macaulay relates in his review of Du
mont’s Recollections of Mirabeuu that bo
fore the French Revolution so little were
even the learned and intellectual of
France accustomed to reason upon the
powers and uses ol government, that the
maxim that governments were made for
the people, and not the people for gov
ernments, “ startled by its novelty and
terrified by its boldness," This maxim,
*o pin in ancT seitevn/circ ,e.,,■/?<! soem
next to impossible cither to negative or
to forget it, is the one most frequently
lost smlit of in times of political distur
bance. 0 It is the one upon which our en
tire system of polity is avowedly found
ed ; and yet we, the people of the United
States are continually overlooking it;
while it is daily disregarded by the Kx
ceutive and Legislative brandies of the
Govern incut.
According to the express prov'-lms of
the Constitution, no oilier of i I in d
Sbdx.t v.l7. arrest, or cause to h - ; <ted,«
upon any pretense however u;_ any
person except upon a Warrant d by
the proper legal authority. II,. war
aant caa *;nly issue upon oath »r atliruia
don, setting forth tegut griwivL, f.n, tp,;
arrest, and describing the pat ly to be -ir
rested. Whoever arrests in any oilier
manner, or bv any other authority thnn
this, is a wrong-doer. The duress wliiih
he irdliets upon the party seized is “ false
imprisonment," for whieh he is liable in
damages to the full extent of the injury
sustained ; nor can any other person, of
ficer or power, Legislative or executive,
constitutionally release him li-ui:i his lia
bility.
There is a claim set up by .he Admin
istration and its party that, through the
suspension of the writ of habeas i rpus,
all these constitutional safeguards of I n
ert} - may he at once annulled, and th
person of the citizen made sub, , t to ar
rest, with entire impunity, by any one
having color of autlioriiy jmai I',- li iv
ernment. This, even it the habeas cor
pus were constitutionally su-pi mb d, is
not true. The suspcii-iun is » i a« t ol
force, in derogation of comm >11 right, in
every case subject to be called in'* qo --
tion ; and lie who suspend', er :r t- un
der a suspension prc-rlain.e i bv .an. r,
can only excuse lumse’f ai d .. a
judgment in damages, bv *tiowi' / ti nt,
in that particular case, be was. -v:' |
by the itnmineney of a p ib i- da i,
which could only be averted by t-ri.; • -
rarity denying a legal cxainiuaii -n to the
party in custody.
To seize min without warrant, even in
cases of gui'.t, is a liiaii oil. -s ngai »l

taining another without lawf-.l ant i :
is a private wrong doer, and i- r>-i

nor dues it justify turnieg timn , -li
ter imprisonment, and rei'i-i ; to i m

tribunal.
The seizure, impris nment a-I d.--
charge of citizen*, wtth.xit a-vii»-it o ■ t
w ithout trial, is, in itself, l'.i » . ; ’ -
■■lent Proof of these facts is ai that is
necessary to establish the ; n "
can the person prosecuted f-o to • ■>
behind them to show, by way of jiistiv
cation, that the parly s< ued bail U -
guilty of a crime against the Siam. A",
who have been treated, tiuriVTe, have
cause of action against the petsoi.s -.<•
resting ami detaining them ; have i i d
to insist that their seizure and d.d-n
was from unjust and ma looms in ,
and are entitled to ex* topiary d . »
accordingly.
There is now an attempt of t' irty
in power to serein its instriino fi
consequences of their acts of t vr -v A
bill lias passed the Lower II • r' ••-
gross which recites that
safety required the privde.- iiit
of habeas corpus tu be suf; . I
that “gome arrests and mi --m-uid's
were made in consequence tin ret I';" mid
provides:
“That all such suspensions, arrests and
imprisonments, by w liouiso. v. r na :- d '
be made, sball be continued and made
valid, and the President, secre’ar'i > and
heads of departments, ami all com- er 11 eil
or advising such acts, are hereby indent
nified and discharged in respect there'-':
and all indictments, informations, suits,
prosecutions and proceedings, wherever
commenced, or to he commenced, against
the President, or any other person, ate
hereby discharged and made void."
It only needs a recollection of the plain
est principles of common justice to un
derstand that this law, so (nr as it pur
porta to take from any citizen a pre-vx
isting right of action, is totally void, it
is to every intent and pnrp ue, an ex
poat facto law, to enact which is express
ly forbidden by the Constitution. No
party but one utterly besotted and mud
w ith malice and fanaticism would, dare
to put upon rword such a damning testi
monial against itself; am! the memory ot
this law, like many of the decrees of the
French Constituent Assembly, will stand
as another example of the curses which,
in iu own name, are committed against
human liberty.
This bill will probably pass the oilier
branch of the National Legislature, and
will receive the signature of the I’rc-i
elent. It is a party measure, devised by
the party of the Administration in self
defense. We call attention to the fact
that the journals of that party, if they
say nothing in its favor, sav nothing
against it. They stand bv silent, and
permit this great iniquity— this most pal
pable legislative crime— this breach of
one of the plainest principles ol justice
and clearest provisions of the Constitu
tion to be committed. Let the people re
member this; and when they cluiin, as
they doubtless will, that they are to he
considered the defenders of ihe freedom
of the citizen and the purity of Republi
canism, let this be thrust in thiir faces.
The question, then, remains: - What
will the Judiciary do V It is the business
of the Judiciary to give practical foicc to
the principles of justice and the provis
ions of the Constitution. This law will
bring in conflict the powers of the Courts
and those of Congress. The rights—the
native and inahneable rights—the dearest
lights that appertain to man as an intel
ligent and social being—the rights of
personal liberty and personal security—
now bang for their future recognition in
this country upon the Judges of the law.
As they shuil decide wi.l depend the
question whether anything remains of
that constitutional freedom which we
have so long and so loudly boasted was
our own, our exclusive birthright. That
the full pressure of the party in power
will he upon them to constrain them to
wrest justice and trample u on the f'on
stitution, is not to he doubted. How far
and how resolutely they wilt resist, is a
point whose decision must rest with the
future.

As Onn Tit vNKsuivisa Seusion.—A
iiwiijne thanksgiving sermon was preach
ed at Yonkers, N. V. this year. Fix con
gregations were united on the occasion,
completely filling the first Presbyterian
church, and six pastors, representing the
two schools of the Presbyterian church,
the Butch Reformed, Episcopal, the B:.| -
tist, and the Methodist churches look
part in the services, and joined in preach
ing one and the same sermon I The text
of the discourse was Eph. 5; if "Giv
ing thanks always, for all tilings, unto
Gull, and the l ather, in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ." The Dutch Reform
ed pastor introduced the sermon, and
very naturally divided it into six parts.
Each pint iiad been assigned to one of
the preachers, and at the end of an hour
the largo congregation had heard with
evident satisfaction, a well jointed and in
teresting sermon, preached by six minis
ters of as many denominations. At the
close of it a collection was taken up, and
n liberal one, for the suffering operatives
of Lancashire, England.

Messrs Editors: It is gratifying to contem
plate tbe blessings we are soon to enjoy in be
ing brought nearer to the great metropolis of
the Pacific. by railway. It is announced in the
papers that woik has commenced on the rail
load connecting Placervillc with Sacramento
Sacramento will soon be connected bv railroad
with San Francisco, via. Stockton and Sun Jose
—a part of the way being nearly ready for the
cars, and which will be completed before sum
mer from San Francisco to San Jose.
Wc begin to anticipate the day when the
bristling monster (bog's buck) will be no im
pediment to speedy traveling; but there is a
matter nearer home which demands more im
mediate attention—a good road from George
town to PUccrvUW—atwad wtwr which freight
may be easily taken. Tbe present road, by
Chili Bar. is not such au one as the public re
quires. It is too steep for heavy loads, and
cannot, without large expense, be improved.
I have heard that Messrs. Thomas II Wil
liams & Co., have secured the right to build a
road across ut Table Rock, which has been,,
chained and found to be feasible, for a road of
easy grade, without an increase of distance;
and I leuru, also, that the work will be prose
cuted early in the Spring, they having already
ordered a survey for that purpose. Ail hail to
our public spirited men !

A Sr. Lot is paper gives statistics show
ing the probable number of slates in Mis
souri to be bought by the proposed com
pensated emancipation project. It thinks
there are still 100,000 in the State, and
the twenty million bill would only give
an average of 8200 for each of them. It
is highly probable that should any such
sheme of emancipation be sanctioned, all
the “likely” n«*grfes would be sold South
at a much higher figure.
