Wasuinaron, April 28th.—In the House
the Senate bill for the recognition of Hayti
and Liberia is before the Committce on
Foreign Affairs,
Anti-Jail Resolutions,
The following is from an article in the
Butte Record, of April 26th, and has particular reference to the secesh editors of this
State who are denouncing the Government
for ordering the arrest of the traitors
charged with aiding the rebels:
The great anxiety of these treasonable
wretches, jast now, is to compel the Democracy of California to adopt a lying auti jail
resolution that has defeated the party in
every State where it has been adopted.
They feel ticklish about the neck. The idea
of playing checkers with their noses on the
bars of « prison, where the habeas corpus
of a rebel judge cannot reach them carries
terror to their treasonable hearts, They
had batter settle with their consciences by
recauting their treason, than by the adoption of untruthful resolations, The Democracy of California will adopt no such resolution as did the Democraey of New Hampshire, for the simple reason that those who
are arrested by the Government upon false
. information, have either been liberated, or
can obtain their release by swearing allegiance tu the Constitution, The Democra‘ey of California are not friendly to the ‘personal freedom’ of those who refuse allegiance to the Federal Constitution, Those
who are can go into aconvention where
. they can adopt resolutions to enit themselves, The Constitutional and Union Democracy—those who refused to leave the
National organization at Charleston—are
not reduced to the necessity of adopting an
anti jail platform. If the seceders from the
. Charleston Convention are already reduced
. to that extremity, let them adopt it or emigrate, The Democracy of California shal)
never hamper themselves with lying resolutions to shield those who refuse their allegiance to the Federal Constitution, however much it may be spiced with enunciations of correct principles,
+ * * * . *
We pronounced the New Hampehire resolution concerning the arrest and imprisonment of men charged with treason, as ‘foolish and absurd,’ because we are not willing
to acknowledge the principle that the Federal Government cannot constitutionally
arrest a person for treason, or for furnishing ‘aid and comfort’ to the enemies of the
Constitutional Government, That men bave
been wronfully arrested, upon false information, there is no doubt. But such have
been liberated, or bad an opportunity to set
themeeclves right. All the arreste in the
loyal States, that we are familiar with,
were made by the United States Marshals,
on authority lodged with the proper departmont, just as embezzling postmasters are arrested in peacable times, Those who were
arrested upon false information, have been
discharged, and those who are not disloyal
have never been denied the privilege of
showing their allegiance, The immediate
trial of those who will not swear allegiance
to the Constitution, is not worth a political
resolve. We believe that we have a Federal Government, and that the Federal
Government can arrest traitors, or those
who furnish ‘aid and comfort’ to traitors,
and we want to see it done, ag long as there
are traitors to go out into our streets and
hurrah for Jeff. Davis and bis Southern
Confederacy.
