Published by John Campbell. Jackson states "Having carefully read Mr. Horace Binney's pamphlet 'The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus under the Constitution,' and conscientiously believing the doctrine therein inculcated to be of an anti-Republican tendency, and the conclusion- 'The President being the properest and the safest depository of the power (to suspend the Writ of Habeas Corpus) and being the only power which can exercise it under real and effective responsibilities to the people'- to be untrue, and not safe ... I feel it to be a duty ... to make public the result of such investigations on the subject as my limited time has permitted me to make." Tatlow's review of Binney consists of the first eight pages of this pamphlet. The second section, 19 pages in length, is entitled "Martial Law: what is it, and who can declare it?" Cover is missing.
