Rtiolvr.d, That tho democrat of New York point to their uniform courso of action during the two years of civil war through which we liave passed, to the alacrity which they have evinced in filling the ranks of the army, to their contributions and sacrifices, as the cvidenoo of their patriotism and devotion to the caneo of our imperiled country. Never in the history of civil wnrs nas a government lieen sustained with such ample resource of moans and men as. tho people have voluntarily placed in the nanus oi i no administration. llcidhed. That, ns democrats, wo nro deter mined to timid tut it this patriotic- attitude, and, despite of ndverso and disheartening circum stances, to devoto all our energies to sustain the causo of tho Union, to secure penco thro' victory, aud to bring buck the restoration of till the States under tho safeguards of tho Constitution. Kctnlvtd, That while we will not consent to bo misapprehended upon these points, wo are determined nut to be misunderstood in regard to others not less essential. We demand that the administration shall be true to the Consti tution : shall recognize nnd maintain the richts of the Suites and the lihcrtWs of the citizen ; shall everywhere, outside of the lines of neocs- sury military occupation nnd the scenes of in surrection, exert all its powers to maintain the supremacy of the civil'ovor military law. netoicca, i lint in view ol these principles, we denounce the recent assumption of a mili tary commander to seize and try a citizen' of Ohio, Clement L. Vnllandigliam, for no oilier reason than words addressed to a publio meet ing, in criticism nf the course of tho adminis tration nnd in condemnation of the military orders nf that General. Petolred, That this assumption of power by a military tribunal, if successfully asserted, nut only abrogates the right nf the people to assemble and discuss tho affairs of the gorern meiit, the liberty of speech nnd of tho press, the right of trial by jury, the law of evidence, and the privelego of habeas corpus, but it strikes a fatal blow at the supremacy of law, and the authority of tho State and federal Con stitutions. Kciolved, Thut tho Constitution of tho Uni ted States the supremo law of the land has defined the crime of treason against the United States to consist "only in levying war against them, or adhering to tiioir enemies, giving thoni aid and comfort;" and has provided that "no persou shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony nf two witnesses to the samo- overt act, or on contessnui in open court. And it further provides that "no person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise in famous crime, unless on a presentment or in dictment of a grand jury, except in cases aris ing in the laud and nuvnl forces, or in the mi litia, when in actual service in time of war or publio danger ;" and further, that in all crim- iui prosecutions, ine accused snail enny tue ght a a speedy and publio trial b an impar tial jury of tho State and district wherein the crime was committed." lltiolved. That theso safeguards of the right of the citizens against the pretensions nf arbi trary power were intended more especially lor Ins protection in time of civil commotion. They wero secured substantially to the English people, nfter years of protraoted civil war, and were adopted into our Constitution at the closo uf the Revolution. They have stood the test f seventy-six years ol trial, under our repub lican system, under circumstance which show that, whilu they constitute tho foundation nf all rree government, they aro the dements of the enduring stability of tho republic. littolertt. 1 hut, in adopting the language ol Daniel Webster, wo declare, "it is tho ancient undoubted prerogative of this people to Ynrk. on tho 10th of the some moulh. was ro- ed unless when, In cases of rebellion or inva- ccivod several day ago. siou, the publio safety may require it," is the Tho resolutions, as I understand litem, nro provision winch specially applies to our present resolvable Into two propositions.

And from the two propositions a third of defined crime ; nnd its suspension is allowed Is deducted, which is. that the gentlemen com- by tho Constitution on purpose- thut inea may nosing the meetlnff are roso vod on doing their bo arrested and Held who cannot oe pruvea to part to maintain our common government and be guilty of defined crimo, "when, in oases of country, despite tne miry or wicveuuess, as rcueiuun or invusiuu, me puuuu suieiy inny ro they may conoeive, of any administration. quire it." This is precisely our present case This position is eminently patriotic and. ns a onso of rebellion, wherein tho public safety such. I thank tho meeting and congratulate the does require tho suspension. Indeed, arrests nntinn for it. My own nornoso la tho same : by process of courts, and arrest in cases of so that the meeting and myself have a common rebellion, do not proceed together altogether object and can havo no difference, except in upon tho same basis. Tho former is direotcd the cho co of mean or measure for enact nt at tne small percentage ol ordinary "id con- tho same ohleot. tiuuous porpetration of crime, whns the latter And here 1 onglit to close this papor, and utreoieu nt suuuen aim cxtensivo uprisings would close It, if there was no apprehension against the government, which, nt most, will that more Injurious consequence than any sucoeed or fail iu no great longth nf tlino.

Tho latter is moro fur tho preventive The resolution promise to support me in every nnu less tor tue vinutoitro man tne lortner, in constitutional and lawful menstiso to suppress! such cases tho purposes of men are much moro the rebellion ; nnd 1 have not knowingly em-1 easily understood than in cases of ordinary ployed, nor shall knowingly employ, any other, crime, i no man who stunus ny nnu says no ltnt the meeting, by their resolutions, assert thing when tho peril of his government is tlis- nml nrguo that certain military arrests.and nro- cussed cannot lie misunderstood. .

The resolution ntiote with "buts" and "ifs" and "onds." Of how from the Constitution tlio definition of treason, little valuu tho constitutional provisions I have and also tho limiting safeguards and gtinran. quoted will bo rendered If nrrcst shall never be iiihiIo until defined crimes shall have been committed, may be Illustrated by a few nota ble examples. Gen. John C. Breckinridge, Gen, Robert E. Lea, Gon. Joseph E. Johnston Oen. John B, Magruder, Gen. William B. tees therein provided for the citizen on tsinl for treason, and of his being held to answer fur capital or otherwiso infamous crimes, and, in criminal prosecutions, his right to a speedy and publio trial by nn impartial Jury. They pro ceed to resulvo "that these safeguards of th gainst the urctensions of dore Franklin Buchanan, uow noounTimr tho nrbitrtrv nnwer wore intended moro especially highest tilaocs in the rebel war servioo. for bis protection in tltnrs of civil commotion." WPrl! ttl' within tho power of the government And, apparently to demonstrate the proposi- since the rebellion tiegan. and were nearly as tiun. the resolutions proceeded : "Thev were kuown hi lie traitor then ns now.

" Would not tlio demonstration ueuueu in tne law. in view oi iiiese aim situ have been better, if it could have been truly said that these safeguards had been adotied dur ing tho civil wars and during our licvolution, in stead nf after the one and at the close of the other? I, too, nin devotedly lur them after civil war, and before civil war, and at all time except When in cases of rebellion or invasion ilnr cases, I thiuk tho time not onlikly to come wnen i snail be blamed lur having made tuo few arrests rather than loo many. By the third resolution the people -indicate ttieir opinion mat military arrests may bo con stitutional in localities where rebellion actually exists, nut mat nidi arrest aro uueoustitutinu tlio publio safety may require their suspension." nl in localities where rebellion or insurrection The resolution proceed to tell ns that these does not actually exist. Tboy insisj that such safeguards "have stood tlio test of seventy-six arrests shall not bo mado "outside of the lines years of trial under onr republican system, un- f necessnry military occupation, nnd the dcr circumstances which show that, whilo thev scenes of insurrection." Inasmuch, however, ....... . . .... I ,. !.-..ir . . , constitute the Inundation n a Ireu irnvprii- as iiiu lyuiisuiuuuu usen waxes un such un- ment. they are the elements of tho enduring tiuotion. I am unable to believe that there is stability of tho republic." No one denies that "y "oh constitutional distinction. I ennoede they have so stood the test up lo the beginning that the class of arrest complained or can bo of the present rebellion, if we exoent a certain constitutional only when, in cases of rebellion ocenrrenco at New Urleans; nor due any ono ur invasion, mo puuuu suieiy may require nticatinn that thev will stand th annm tr-at them; and I insist that in such enses they are mnch longer after the rebellion closes. Hut ooiislitutiunul wherever the publio sufely does these provision of the Constitution havo no rcquiro thorn, ns well iu places to which they application to tlio case wo havo in hand, bo- nm)' prevent the rebellion extending as in those cause the arrest complained of wero uot made ' may bo alrendy prevailing ; ns well or treason Mint is. nut or the treason dp nod wuere tuey uiuy restrain inisuuiuvuus tnieritir in tho Constitution, aud upon conviction of eo with iho raising nnd supplying nf armies whioh tlio punishment Is death nor yet wero suppress ins reoenion, ns wnero me rcuei thv mndn to Iwld iwrsone -to answer for nnv lion may actually he : n well where thev may capital or otherwise infamous orinics ; nor were restrain the enticing men out of the army, as the proceedings lollowing.

Tim equally constitutional at till nlnees where thev arrests wore made on totally different grounds J "ill conduce to I lie publio safety, as against I lie and the proceedings following accorded with dangers ul relieltion or Invasion. l ake the tho grounds of the arrests. Let us consider particular case inentioued by tho meeting Die real case with winch we aro dealing, and apply to it the nana ol the Constitution plain ly mode for such cases. Prior to my installation hero it had beeu in- by tlio meeting. It is asserted, in substance, that Viillaiidigham wns, by it military commander, seized and tried "lur no other reason thau words addressed to a publio meeting, in criticism of the oourse of the tnvuss publio measure) and the merits of pub lie men." It is a "home-bred right" a firo- sido privelego. It lias b-cn enjoyed in every House, cottage and calnn i'i the nation, it is as undoubted as the right of breathing the air and walking on the earth, liclnngtiig to pri vate lila as a right, it belongs to publio life as a duty, uud it is the hut duty which those, nliosc representatives we are, shall find us to abandon. Aiming at all times lo be courteous and tempenito in its use. except when the right llsell I questioned, we shall place ourselves on the extreme boundary of our. own right, and bid defiance to any arm that would move us irom our ground. " i uis high constitutional privilege we shull defend aud exercise in all places in lime of peace, iu time of war, and at all time. Living, we shall assert it : should we leave nn other inheritance to onr children, by the blessing of God we will leave them the inheritance of free principle and the example of a manly. Independent and constitutional do- lense ol mem. llttolrrd. That iu tho election' of Governor Seymour tlio people of this State, by nn tm- pliutio majority, declared their condemnation ul the system of arbitrary arrests and their deter mination to stnnd by tlio Constitution ; that the revivnl of till lawless system can hare but one result ; to divide and distract the North, and destroy it conhdence in the purposes of the administration ; that we deprecate it as an element nf confusion at homo, of weakness to our armies in the field, nud a calculated to lower the estimate of America u character and magnify the apparent peril of our cause abroad. And tint regarding the blow struck at a citi zen of Ohio aa aimed at the right of every cit izen of tbo North, we denounce it aa against the spirit of our law and Constitution, ami most earnestly call upon Iho President of the United State to reverse the action of the mili tary tribunal which lias passed a "oroel and unusual punishment" upon the party arrested. prohibited in terms by tho Conetitntion, and to restore htm to the liberty ol which he bat been deprired. Keolced, That the President, Vic Presi dent and Secretary of Ibis meeting be request ed to transmit a copy of these resolutions to his Excellency the President of the Untied State with the assurance of tbl meeting nf their hearty and earnest desire to support the government in every constitutional and lawful measure to suppress the existing rebellioo.

I was elected other reason fur tho arrest, then I concede that contrary to their liking ; aad accordingly, so the arrest was wrung. But tho arrest, as I far as it was legally possible, they had tuken understand, was made for a very dilierent rea- seven State out of the Union, had seized many son. Vallaiitlighain avow his hostility to the uf t'10 United States furts, and bad fired upou war on the part of the Union ; and his nrrcst the United State flag, all before I was inaug- wa made became he was laboring, with some united, and, ol course, before I bad done any filed, in prevent tho raising nf troops, to en official act whatever. Tim rebellion thus began oourngo desertion from the nriny, and to leovt soon ran into the present civil war; nnd, iu the rebellion without nu adequate military force certain respects, it began ou very uuciiual to suppress it. He wa nut arrested because terms between tlio parties, 1 ho insurgents lie was ditniagiiig lhe political prospects ol th bad been preparing for it mure than thirty administration or the personal interest uf th years while the govcruniest had tuken no couiiuuuiliiig Ueiieral, nut hecaiio ho was steps to resist them. The former had carefully damaging; the arinv, upon the existence anil considered all tliu means which could be turned vigor of which the life of Iho nation depends to their account. It undoubtedly was a well Ho wns warring 1111011 the military, nnd this pondered reliance with them that in their own gave Iho military constitutional jurisdiction to unrestricted efforts tu destroy the Union, Con- lay hands upon him. If Valliiinlighuiii was stitulion and luw all logi'ther, lhe covernmetit nut damaging tho military power of tho conu- would, in a great degree, be restruiiied by lhe try, then his arrest was mado 011 mistiiko of same Constitution aud law from arresting their fact, which I would be glad to correct uu rca progress. Their sympalhuer prevaded nil soiiauiy snlislactnry evidence, departments of the government and nearly nil I understand tho meeting, whose resolutions communities 01 tnu peopte. r rum mis mate- IID considering, to be in favur of stippressit rial under cover ol "liberty ol speech," "liner tl,9 rebellion by military force by urmies.- ty of the pre." and "haseas corpus," they UUg experience ha shown that armies cannot uopeu to aeep on nan among ns a most emuieni uo maintained unless desertions shall be pnn corn 01 spies, inlormers, supplier, and aiders iahctt by the severe penalty of death.

Nor can I, with full rospeot for their known InHligence, and the fairly pre sumed deliberation with which they prepared their resolutions, be permitted to suppose that tins noourrcu uy acuiuent, or 111 any wuy uiner than that they preferred to designate themselves "domocrats" rather than "American oitizens." In this timo of national peril I would have pre ferrtd to meet you upon a level, ono step high er than any party platform, bcoause I am sure that, from such more elevated position, wo could do better battle for the country we all love, than we possibly can from theso lower ones, where, from the force of habit, the pro), udices t.f the past aud selfish hopes for the fu ture, we nro sure to expend much of our inge nuity and strength In finding fault with and aiming blows at eaoh other. But since yon have denied mn this, I will yet be thankful, for the country's sake, that not all domocrats have done so. He on whose discretionary judgment Vallandlgham was arrested and tried ia a dem ocrat, having no old party affinity with me ; and the judge who rejected the constitutional view exprossed in these resolutions, by refusing to discharge Vallnndigbam on habeas corpus. Is a democrat of better days than theso, having received his judicial mantlo at tho hands of President Jnukson. And still moro, of all those democrats who are nobly exposing their lives and shedding their Wood on the battlo field, I liuvo learned that many approve tho courso taken with Vallandlgham, while I havo not heard of a single ono condemning It. I cannot assert that lliero are liono such. And the name of President Jackson recalls an in. lent of pertineut history. After tho battlo Now Orleans, nnd while tho faot that the treaty of peace had been concluded wa well Known in the city, but betore ouiciat Knowledge of it had arrived, General Jackson still main tained military law. Now, that it could be said the war was over, the clamor ngninst mar. ttni law, which had existed Irom tho llrst, grew more furious. Among other things, one Lou- aillier published a denunciatory newspaper ar ticle. Gon. Jackson arrested him. A lawyer by the name nf Morel procured the United States Judge, Hall, to order a writ of habeas corpus to reliuve Louuillior. Gen. Jaokson ar rested both the lawyer and the judge. A Mr, Hollander ventured to any 01 some part 01 mo matter that "it was a dirty trick." Gen. Jack son arrested him. When tho officer undertook to s.'rvo the writ of habeas corpus Gen. Jack- son took it away froitrhim, and sent him away with a copy. Holding the judgo in custody a few days, the General sent hi in beyond the limits of his encampment, and set him at lib- rty, Willi nn order to remain till too ratihoa- tiun of peace should bo regularly announced, ur until Iho British should hove left the South ern coast. A day or two more elapsed, Ilia ratification of the treaty of penco wns regular- aniinuiioed, and tho judge and other were lly liberated. A few dnya more, and the udgo called Geueral Jackson into court and ined him a thousand dollars for having arrest ed him and the others named. The General paid tho line, and there the matter rested for nearly thirty year, when l;ongres retunded principal nod interest. Tho late Senator Douglas, then in tho House of Representatives iook a leading part in the debates in which the constitutional question was much disoussed. I nm not prepared to say whom the journals would show to have voted lor the measure. It may bo remarked, first, that wo had tho rniuo Constitution then ns now ; secondly, that wo then bud n case of Invasion, and now we hare a case of rebellion ; and, thirdly, that the permanent right of the people to pulifio discus sion, the liberty of speeoh and of tho press, the trial by jury, the law of evidence and the ha beas corpus suffered no detriment whatever by that conduot of General Jackson, or its subso- liient npprovul by tho American Congress. 'And yet, let mo sny Unit in my owu discre tion, I tlu not know w hether I would have or dered the nrrest of Mr. V nllaiidighain. While I cannot shut the responsibility Ironi myseir, 1 hold that, a a general rule, the eoiumauder in the field is the better judge of the necessity in any particular enso. 01 courso I must prac tice a general directory nud revisory power lo the matter. - also knew they bad friends who wou question as to who was la suspend il; mean- iniurmoa when euVntwl bv a-.-ttinir a father w nue int ir .pie. nnu un.. miC,,, ,nnn H brutlu-r, or Iricud luto a publio meeting, and large to help on their causo. ur 11. as has ,ilero W0,L.j,r upon hi feeling till he is per happened, tne executive should insiiend the ..,l,.,l ta writa ih al,lir hov that h I. fil,t, writ, without ruinous wsste of time, instances ju .

Louuvillt Journal. , it s Ono of the resolutions expresses the opinion of the meeting that arbitrary arrests will have the effect to divide and distract those who should be united in suppressing the rebel lion, nnd I am specially called on to discbarge Mr. Vulltindighain. I regard this as, nt least, a fair nppeal in mo on the exprdionoy of exer cising a constitutional power which 1 think ex ists. In response to such appeal I havo to say, it gave me pain when I learned that Mr. Val- audigliain was arrested that la, I wns pained hat there should havo seemed to bo a necessi ty lor arresting him aud that it will afford mo great pleasure to discharge him so soon as I can, by any means, believe the publio safety will lint suiter by it. 1 lurther say that, ns the war progresses, it appears to me, opinion and action, which wero in great confusion at first, take shape and lull into mora regular channels so that tho necessity for strong dealing with them gradually decrenses. I havo every rea son to desire that it should cesso nltogother. and fur fioiu the least is my regard for the opinions and wishes of those who. like Iho ui.etiug at Albany, duulnro their purpose to susiiiin the government in every constitutional and lawlul measure to suppress Ilia rebellion. Still 1 must continue to do so much a may seem to be required by the publio safety. A. LINCOLN. Am Important Circular.
