The same gates which submissively open at the demand of a foe, never previously truckled to, and gave liberty to avowed "rebels and traitors," swing back upon their hinges to hold in unlawful bondage free citizens of the North merely suspected of disloyalty — men against whom their jailor could not prove the slightest of fences, and whom, therefore, he dared not to produce on habeas co
