We protested, it will be remembered, against the secrecy resorted to im that case, as following a dangerous pre- celent utterly repugnant to the spirit of our institutions, and our eysiem of government and laws. The day will come when public opinion will compel respect to that spirit, or we greatly mistake the devotion of the American people to the principles of civil liberty.
