 the heartfelt feeling of all men; and it is a
feeling which cannot but inspire respect.

We have heard much of the tyranny of the present Government of the
United States, and of the tyranny also of the people. They have both
been very tyrannical. The "habeas corpus" has been suspended by the
word of one man. Arrests have been made on men who have been hardly
suspected of more than secession principles. Arrests have, I believe,
been made in cases which have been destitute even of any fair ground
for such suspicion. Newspapers have been stopped for advocating views
opposed to the feelings of the North, as freely as newspapers were
ever stopped in France for opposing the Emperor. A man has not been
safe in the streets who was known to be a Secessionist. It must be at
once admitted that opinion in the northern States was not free when I
was there. But has opinion ever been free anywhere on all subjects?
In the best-built strongholds of freedom have there not always been
questions on which opinion has not been free; and must it not always
be so? When the decision of a people on any matter has become, so
to say, unanimous,--when it has shown itself to be so general as
to be clearly the expression of the nation's voice as a single
chorus,--that decision becomes holy, and may not be touched. Could
any newspaper be produced in England which advocated the overthrow
of the Queen? And why may not the passion for the Union be as strong
with the northern States, as the passion for the Crown is strong with
us? The Crown with us is in no danger, and therefore the matter is at
rest. But I think we must admit that in any nation, let it be ever
so free, there may be points on which opinion must be held under
restraint. And as to those summary arrests, and the suspension of the
"habeas corpus," is there not something to be said for the States'
Government on that head also? Military arrests are very dreadful,
and the soul of a nation's liberty is that personal freedom from
arbitrary interference which is signified to the world by those two
unintelligible Latin words. A man's body shall not be kept in duress
at any man's will; but shall be brought up into open court, with
utter
the heartfelt feeling of all men; and it is a 
 feeling which cannot merely revolutionize respect. 

 We have heard much of the dictatorship of the present politics of the 
 United States, and of the tyranny also of the people. They have both 
 been very oppressive. The " habeas corpus " has been suspended by the 
 word of one serviceman. Arrests have been made on world who have been hardly 
 suspected of more than secession rationale. apprehension have, I believe, 
 been made in cases which have been destitute even of any bonny ground 
 for such suspicion. Newspapers have been stop for advocating views 
 opposed to the feelings of the North, equally freely as newspapers were 
 always stopped in France for opposing the Emperor. A man has not been 
 safe in the street who was known to be a Secessionist. It must be at 
 once admitted that opinion in the northern States was not free when I 
 was there. But hold opinion ever been free anywhere on all subjects? 
 In the best - built strongholds of freedom have there not constantly been 
 questions on which opinion has not been barren; and must it not constantly 
 be so? When the decision of a people on any topic has become, so 
 to state, unanimous,--when it has shown itself to be so cosmopolitan as 
 to be clearly the expression of the nation's voice as a single 
 chorus,--that decision become holy, and may not be touched. Could 
 any newspaper be produced in England which advocated the overthrow 
 of the Queen? And why may not the mania for the Union be as hard 
 with the northern States, as the passion for the Crown is strong with 
 us? The Crown with us is in no danger, and therefore the topic is at 
 rest. But I think we must admit that in any nation, let it be ever 
 so free, there may be points on which impression must be held under 
 chasteness. And as to those summary arrests, and the suspension of the 
 " habeas principal, " is there not something to be said for the States' 
 Government on that head also? Military arrests are very awful, 
 and the soul of a state's liberty is that personal freedom from 
 arbitrary interference which is signify to the worldly concern by those two 
 unintelligible Latin words. A man's body shall not be kept in duress 
 at any man's will; but shall be brought up into exposed court, with 
 utter
 thf heartfelt feeling of aul men; and it is a
feelmng whidh cannog but inspire respect.

been eefy tyrannical. The "habeas corpus" has bqen suslejded by the
