Tho People fv 2 Beamon, page 403, ‘Tho cara befora them was almost [jenticnl wih that, but with this addition: that, inthe present cae, the matter was atrengthene: by the presentment of tho Grand Jury—s part of tho Court fteatf, . Now, should the Court fail to maintain its dignity by not snpporting the rule, it would actually becomon laughing-rtoct. It wy not oxactly tho time to enter into tho morits of tho cave, «oho would conclude by assing that ho souridered the method of procedure moro than ample to cover the case. ‘The Grond dary had Drought in the papers with their presontmont. MA. WINT DEXTER, who acted with Alt. Goudy, snid that absence trom tho city provented him from giving that ate tontion to tho cano which it descryed. Ite, how- svor, held with Mr. Goudy that the proceedings wero wholly irregular, and contrary to establishod procedonts, Ho wos in absolute ignorance of what tho Grand Jury had prosented in Court, decauso there waa no record to show the action ‘akon. That body by simply holding np a bundio af papors could not’ maka a prosentmont. ‘They held tho papers up, and then carried thom off, alich was a very singular way of dealing with o very important matter. ‘The title of au articio showed nothing of tho pubeubamalicr, Nohody rauld tell whothoer the articio rolated to things civil or military, to things roligious or within the riedictlon of the Criminal Court. ‘Vo properly juform tho Court, it should he dono by some mothod recognized by tho judicin! tribunals of Amorics, aud not by a patty of gentlemen com- jug into tho prosenco of the Judgo, holding upn Jot of nowspapers, and then going out nguin ino mysterions manuor. He was proud to bo ablo fo say that nobody could accuso tho judiciary of Cook County, from the venerable aud yenorated Thomas Drummond, whom they sll loved, to tho latest incumbent of the Bench, ot being stained by tho corruption and meanness of a bribe, Ale did not ray thisin their defenre, for they necded nono; but a8.a-mattor of public congratulation. 'Thoy did not wish to rotreat from the case before tho Court, but would moot It then and thoro,if agreo- able to tho Judge, Now, the Court might say that ha lind tried cares bofore somacurtous jury- mon, and the counsel might exchange remarks with Iiim of s disparaging nature, but would that bo contempt of court? If tho Grand Jury were, for examplo, to find an Indictment agatuet him (Mr. Dexter) he might bo tempted to calljthem o wet of rapscalliona, or somothing in that Ino, but would the Court call that contompt becauso, as had n argued, tha Grand Jury formed a part of-the machinery of tho Court liself? And if this would not be con- ridered contempt in. him, why shold o news- ee editor he copied the priviloge of porsonal iborty or public comment? it could not bo ghown that any sttempta whatever had boon mado ‘to intimfdate tho Court. Ho hoped to show, in good time, that certain inflncnecs of o malignant nature hoa been nt work to bring therso indictments up. Tharo wore guod Grand Juries, and Grand Jnricg _ that might bo better, ‘fhero were Grand Jurica compoxed of men spotless in character as Robert Collyor, aud others drawn, perhaps, from the eluma of Chicago, Now, granting tho latter, woto all thelr actions to be received with ro- spoctful silonce? Was thoro to be no comment upon them? If not, then what became of the boasted Jiborty of tho preaa? Tie did not as- sume to dofoud oxtravagant license on tho part. of tho press, but snpyose on indictment wero found against aman by a Grand Jury composed of thioves, should there bo no comment upon that? Such a rule would bo absurd to etart with, Ho would not tall longor on the subject, for he was convineod that the Court plainly saw hia way, and would, no doubt, quash the rua, aud instruct tho Stato’s Attorney to provocd in regular form, if at all, JUDGE WILLIAMS, after o brief pauso, seid that he was not aware of any precire procedent for such an entry as that mado in the casa before the Court. He (honglt the method of proceduro was correct at the timo tho ontry was made. Whon tha Grand Jury presents the papers, ho thought it was proper to onter tho milo, Ho saw, by reading toma of the cases referred to, that in ouo of thein a ruto lad beou entered without cithor ou information or an affidavit having been filed. Io view of tho general facts in the caso, ond in tho abxonco of any precedent at the time, hot bad entercl the rule, and was ready to bear tho burden of tho reapous sibility—if responsibility it might bo called. Ho Aid not desire to tread on any tuncortain ground. Me would not go back on the decisions of the Supremo Court, and desired to follow precodent rathor than take hia own view of the mattor, ‘ha precedent in tha caro of the Daily Chicago American, which, yours ngo, conimented on the actlon of a Grand Jury, fitted the present one, and on that he would depend, If held that the method fol- Towed in tha present cane was irregular, and ineetnnch nw that precedent was bofore him, he wonld sustain tho motion to quash, and instruct tho btate's Attorney to file an information which would bring Air. Storoy up on a similar charge, in propor form. Mr. Reed stated: that, In tho other cages againot Mr. Storoy, Col. Ricuboy was to have pleaded thnt morning.

To the Eiitor of The Chicago Tribune: Contaxavinne, IL, March 17.—After fourteen years of Republican rulo, tho insjority ja trang. ferred to the Democracy in tho popular branch of Covgrevs. It ia falr, thorefure, in Toviowing the Ropublican polloy of that period, to inquire whother that party has carried the Government thoorotically and practically nearer to tho roaliza. ton of tho groat central idea upon which the fathors founded the Republic, or whether thoy havo drifted farthor away from It. ‘Tho funda. mental idea for which tho old patriots of 1774 waged war was happily summod w in these ex. preesions: ‘That ail ion are Lorn froe and equal, end that wo aro an judependdut peoplo--one ng, iton, not govoral, : % Tho Domocracy sasort that tho Republican party lias carried tho country away froin those carly ideas nud Jnudmarke optabliehed by thy fothers. If this cuarge Ss true, it is very grayo t if tt 6 salen, it should condomn tho party whieh propagates it. ‘Tho fathors declared that all mon wero frca and oqual. But this doctring was nover fully realized nor fulilllod until thy Ropublicans struck the chains of slavery from four millions of elavos, beld oxclusivoly by Domocratic masters, ‘The fathers declared | that Wo aro one pooplo—oue nation ; but the Demo. racy declare thateach Stnto comprises an inds. pendent nation, and is sovereign. Indoor, that party actually sot up another indopendent and kovorcign nation within tho territory of the United States and battled for fone sonra to matne tain ik; but it was erushed bs Ropublican party; and on tho rulny of this Domocratie Southern sovoreiga nation they ro-catoblished and re-proclaimed the doctrine of the old fathors—that aro are, and of right ought to be, one [reo and independout sovorolgn nation, ‘Tho lopublican party, then, has uot carried the country away from tho ideas and landmarks of tho fathers, :bat it has f{ulillled thom. The patriots of 1776 declared that afl mon sro bom frcw and equel, ond thet the United Colonies wore ouo indepondent pation. Truth works out “its invinelblo purposes through tho aos. What tho patriots or 1776 commenced, the Itepubtican party consummated. Mure than three-quartors of a aontury after these old horocs bas startled ths world with tho declaration of these sublime but untinished truthe, AbralLam Lincoln omphasized their mesuiny with iis maugural address, tat ths power of tho nation was sovetoign and uo preme, and later, with bis emancipation decree, Fonoltmlog thy dotrtine that all meu are bon TE, Wo are not apolozizing for aome of tho evident mistakes of the Isepublican party; but wo de assert that, upon the whole, its policy fan bea atrueand noblo one; aud that ft is tho only party which over oxisted in the country that car ried out the declarations of tho fathors to their Ipgitimato fuldlimont. ut the Domocravy tell us that the doctrine of National Bovoroigaty is daugeroua to the liberiy of the people, And thoy declare that State Bor ecroignty is tho truc doctrine, a Here can be no danger of tho individual 8 Locowlng sevens or tyrannical upow individual righty, History, howover, proves thst the Jedoral Government hag always becu moro kind and indulgent toils individuuls thon the States have boon to theirs, When Johu Brown and his frionds rovolte} oyainst the Stato laws of Virginin, that Staw forthwith pnuivhed them with deaths whilo the Voderal Government did uot hang Joi Davin any of hia crow for thoir rovolt or rebellion, An other foct to slow what dreadful tyranny thy Btate Governments may arendige upon ther be plo is, that ab one timo the Soutborn poopls hicll ono-third of thoir poopie in bondage, and by Isw allowed tho other two-thirds to whip, slioot, rare + ish, aud voll thom; whilo the Foderal Govora- niont bas nover, in and of itself, claimod the right to punish any of its people except forcrimae. So,upon the score of individual liberty, the State have beon tho tyrants towarda individuals, whils the Fodoral Government hay been their frienl, ‘Tho doctriue of State Sovereignty bus no: ouly proved crucl and tyranuous upon individuals, but it bas actually, in pursuing ite purpeses to their logical consequouces, endeavored to destiny the unity and sovereignty of the uation. Now, from thoso truths, as undonlable as axioms, it must follow that tho Repulican party hag defouded tho great ideas whieh tho founder of the Hepublle proclaimed; and that the Domocracy iteclf is the party which hatod th: doctrinos of tho fathers, Tho question preseats itsolf, then, ax to whethor the poople will cox tinue the party in power which adheres to ibe dangerous dogma of State Sovereiguty, after that doctrine has well uigh cout the natiooie life? Most ssauredly they will not.

Judging from thesa criteria, and admitting that American Governmout was the most happy ei erimont towards a Ropublio which the world nd witnessed in a thousand yours, it niet follow tuat the Democracy, iu its altampt to overtliror it, hag shown that party {0 be tho most dsoger ous and denperato of which history Bivew say account.
