THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1867.
phia, held a meeting this evening and adopted reso
lutions in reference to reconstruction, impeachment,
abuse of the pardoning power, etc. The resolution
on impeachment was as follows :
Resolved, That impeachment is the sole defence of
the people against the incapacity, negligence, or
perfidy of the Chief Magistrate.— Madison.
That with a view to the exercise of the power of
impeachment, the House of Representatives have a
right to investigate the conduct of all public officers
under the Government, and in such a case, the safe
ty of the Republic is the supreme law ; and the
power of the House in pursuit of this object reaches
the most secret recesses of the Executive Depart
ment.—James K. Polk.
That the abuse of power conferred upon the Pres
ident may be'as criminal as the usurpation of pow
er which has not been granted, and would justify the
House of Representatives ,in voting an impeach
ment. —James Buchanan.
That a .wanton removal of meritorious officers by
the President is an abuse of power which subjects
him to impeachment and removal from liis own
high trust.— Madison.
Resolved, That the prompt and indiscriminate
pardon ofpersons duly convicted and sentenced, in
the courts of the United States, for counterfeiting
the national currency;
The attempt to nullify the act passed by Congress
over the Executive veto, for the reconstruction of
the Union ;
Tire suspension of E. M. Stanton from the office
ofSecretary of \Yar, the duties of which he had per
formed not only with fidelity to the country, but
with distinguished ability ;
The removal of General Sheridan, an accomplish
ed and illustrious officer, from hia command, at the
instance of prominent traitors whom he had offend
ed by his faithful execution of the laws ;
And the recent proclamation of amnesty, issued;
as we believe, without authority, and for the pur
pose of restoring to influence and power persons
who incited the South to rebellion, and who are yet
under an oath of allegiance to a government un
known to the Constitution, which they hope io re
establish, are acts which constitute, jprima fade, such
abuses and usurpations of power as to demand- the
impeachment and trial of the offender, in order that
the. Constitution may be vindicated and the Nation
al Government preserved; in its integrity.
Councils held meeting, Sept. 19. Resolutions for
a committee of inquiry into the removal of Presi
dent Smith of Girard College, were adopted in Select

China. — I'he continued drought in North China
