The address says the Chief Magistate of this State, the* head and front of radicalism, has Been fit to declare one of our Counties in a state of insurrection, aud to call upon Congress to suspeud tho writ of habeas corpus throughout the Stute. We declare there is no sufficient cause for this extraordinary action of Governor Holden. There is und has been no armed resistance, uo uprising of tho peo? ple, no outbreaks to disturb or hinder tho full admiuinistratiou of the civil law. We assert that there is uot a County in the State iu which auy sheriff or other peace officer may not go, unattended, and with perfect safety, aud execute any process upon auy citizeu of tho Stale. lt is true that murders and other out? rages have beeu committed, but they bavo uot been confined to any particular locality or auy political party; and when Gov. Holden represents to the President and to Congress that these acts ara evi? dences of disloyalty, he is guilty of a wilful libel upou a people whose rights he has sworn to protect.
