iNPE.4rn.neMT!
Satan has at last sufficiently madden
ed his minions at Washington to in
duce them to attempt the removal of
the President. Hell thrills with ecsta
cy as the announcement rings through
Us corridors. The fiends shout and
laugh, for they scent blood and death
in the upper air.
The Infernal "Rump" of a Congress
have impeached the President. The
vote was taken at five o'clock on Mon
day last, and stood 135 for, to 47 against,
impeachment. Yes, the Radical Reb
els have resolved to remove the Presi
dent !
WIIY ?
Because lies amis by the Constitution
and fulfils his oath to support and
maintain that sacred instrument. Be
cause they have undertaken to bind him
hand and foot with unconstitutional
legislation, and he dares to stand up
for his rights. Because, forsooth, lie
chooses to appoint his own cabinet offi
cers, as the Constitution authorizes
him to do and as all other Presidents
have done before him.
These devils incarnate, who Would
plunge the country into the bloodiest
civil war that ever reddened the page
of history, these hatchlings of the bats
of the lowest hell, who subsist on the
intensity of human misery, these tad
poles of the toads that leed in the
slimiest holes of the bottomless pit,
would take advantage of their own
devilishness and thus drag down as
their victim a true, honest and fearless
MAN!
A law is passed, uneonstitutional on
its face, which affects the President
alone. lie prefers to keep his oath to
support and defend the Constitution,
rather than to break that oath by obey
ing this law. In other words, he re
fuses to regard this law as valid, and
thus seeks to test its validity in the
Courts. For this he is to be removed
from offiee. Shall it be done? NE\ -
ER! NEVER! NEVER!
liKYOLI'TION!
Tho.new rebellion against the Con
stitution, is rapidly culminating. 4he
President is now threatened with im
mediate removal from office. Articles
of impeachment have been presented
in the lower house <>! < ongress, by
Toad. Stevens, am! it is thought they
will be adopted to-day (Monday, Feb.
24.) This new movement to depose
the Pros id', ui. has arisen from an order
issued on Friday last for the removal
of the infamous Stanton trom the \\ ar
office and the appointment of Gen. L.
Thomas (the Adjutant General of the
Army) in Stanton's stead.- Ihe Presi
d nt sent the order for the removal of
Stanton and the appointment of Gen.
Thomas, to the Senate, and the Gener
al called upon Stanton and demanded
possession ol the War Department,
when Stanton had him arrested. He
was afterwards released on $5,000 bail,
The whole thing in a nut shell amounts
t) this : The President is to be deposed
because he desires to appoint his oun
Cabinet officers, as he has a riyht to do
under the Constitution, and as all other
Presidents have done before him. A
pretty business, to be sure, to involve
the country iu tumult, and, probably,
civil war, because the President of the
United States wishes to choose his
own Cabinet! We think we hear the
outcry of the people thundering in the
ears of the conspirators in Congress,
STOP!
We think we hear the piteous peti
tion o women ami children, of widows
and orphans, going up to the pitiless
cabal at Washington,
STOP!
We think we hear the merchants and
mechanics, the farmers and laborers of
the country, shout in rhe ears of the
Radical fanatics.
STOP!
But will the voice of the people be
heeded ?
Will the d' -perate plotter- in C'on
gresscoase their devilish, machinations?
Is there any hope for a bloodless
peace?
Jf not, then force mast be met by force,
revolution by revolution, and the C'onsti'
lution and liberties of our country, must
be maintained at alt hazards.
THE RADICAL TEAM.
It was Munchausen, we believe, who
told the "ower true tale" about a pack
of wolves attacking the horses attached
to a sledge, the wolves eating the hors
es as they ran, until they (the wolves)
finally ate themselves into the harness,
and taking the place of the horses,
were thus driven to Moscow. This
case found a parallel, some years ago,
in some "wolves in -sheep's clothing"
whose savage attacks upon the "Re
publican" party resulted in their com
pletely swallowing up the old wheel
horses of that party and getting them
selves, body and breeches, into the har
ness of Radicalism. These creatures
now run the Radical machine and are
driven by the lash of their party mas
ters, whithersoever their drivers list.
They are, however, a troublesome
team, as they cannot pass a single bone
without snapping at it and quarreling
over it, and would fain tear each other
to pieces, did they not fear the crack
of the party whip. Formerly they
were tried in the Democratic wagon,
but they snarled and growled so much
at one another and at all about them,
and their real character became so
transparent, that they were distrusted
and discarded. It is a little queer that
our Radical friends still have hope ol
domesticating these greedy animals.
If they are not permit ed to gorge
themselves with the fat things of the
party, and at the same time to snap up
all the little bones and crumbs as they
go along, it will be impossible to make
them "gentle." Feed them well,boys,
or they will break the traces.
THE HAPPY FAMILY.
Quite a contest has been going on,
for some time, in the Radical party of
of this county, b tween the several fac
tions which coinpdsethat organization.
The County Committee met on Tuesday
of Court week to elect a delegate (o the
State Convention. The choice of this
delegate, the question of the Vice Pres
idency, and ti'.eold fight between the
clan Cameron and the gang Curt in, was
re-opened with great energy and bitter
ness on both sides. Collector Asheom
acted as field-marshal for theCameroni
ans,whilst "Ijttle Johnny Sissney"com
manded the forces of Curtin. The hat
tie waxed hot and the carnage threat
ened to become fearful. But in the
midst of the conflict a flag of truce ap
pwrad, with the proposition that both
Grow (Cameron's man) and Curtin
should he shelved, and instructions
passed for E. M. Stanton. This was a
greed to as a compromise, but theCam
eronians were completely out-general
ed in the election of Maj. D. Washa
baugh as delegate, he being a Curtin
man. W. M. Hall was Maj. V asha
baugh's opponent, but was badly beat
en. The contest, however, did not
cease with the election of delegate to
the State Convention. Hall and "Lit
tle Johnny" both want to serve their
country as delegates to the ('liicago Con
vention. As "Johnny 'hi a candidate
f>r Congress, the friends of Hail very
justly urge that the aforesaid "Johnny"
is a little greedy, and ought to be
taught to restrain his appetite. 11 r< -
mains to be seen whether poor Hall is
again to be sacrificed. How thankful
ought Democrats to be that they sire
not only rid of these ambitious distur
bers of party harmony, but that the"Re
publican"organization has fallen heir to
the troubles which they were wont to
stir up in the ranks of the Democracy !
THE Munibo-jumbo, Blaek-and-Tan,
Moss-back, Carpet-bag Constitution
made by Negroes and foreign adven
turers for the people of Alabama, failed
of adoption by about 12,000 votes.
Under the Reconstruction acts, a ma
jority of all the registered votes is re
quired to ratify any of the Constitu
tions, framed by the Black Crook Con
ventions, ami the whites nearly all staid
away from the election" in Alabama
ancl thus defeated the patriotic labors
of Wilson, Sumner & Co. Only 3,000
white votes were polled in the State.
Although the negroes ufe in a large
majority and the election was kept
open for five days, Cuffee couldn't be
brought to the scratch. He is still
looking for "dcm mules" promised
him by "de Radical bruthjers" when
he voted for "de Coniwenshum."
THE President has appointed Maj.
Gen. Lorenzo Thomas Secretary of War
ad interim , that is to act until the Sen
ate confirms the appointment of i per
manent Secretary. He has just sent to
the Senate the name of Gen. Thomas
Ewing, of Ohio, an eminent -oldier of
the conservative school, for permanent
Secretary of War. The Senate can take
a run-aud-jump at this soldier, ii they
choose.
THE Democrats carried the borough
of Hollidaysburg on Friday hist, by a
majority of sixty-five. This is a gain,
of forty over the majority of last fall.
The ball keeps moving'.
AWAKE! ARISE!
Democrat?, are you prepared for the
Spring elections? The time for choos
ing township and borough officers is
rapidly approaching, and the enemy are
already organizing. Arouse, Demo
crats, and gird yourselves for the fight!
Mark, an advantage gained now by
the foe, has its effect, and, therefore,
you must not permit them to gain any
advantage. Make your nominations,
and see that they are "good ones. Let
there be harmonious action. This is
no time toquarl or higgle over small
matters. Let us charge together and
drive the enemy from their picket
line.
THE PRESIDENT has appointed Gen.
Geo. H. Thomas Lieutenant General
by brevet and also General" by,brevet.
Gen. Thomas at present commands the
department of Tennessee. The Presi
dent has aiso appointed Gen. Geo. B.
MeC'lellan Minister to England. This
is a dose of epaulettes for the Senate.
If that body chooses to put itself on
the record against these "boys in blue,"
we shall begin to understand that Rad
icals don't care so much about soldiers
after all.
THE Constitution provides that upon
"impeachment and conviction of high
crimes and misdemeanors," the Presi
dent may be removed from office.
Hence, the Senate will yet have to
convict Mr. Johnson, before he can be
removed from office.
THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CON
VENTION.
The national democratic committee
held a meeting in Washington on Sat
urday. Hon. August Belmont, of New
York, presiding. After considerable
debate, the committee agreed upon the
city of New York as the place for hold
ing the presidential nominating con
vention, and the 4th of Juiy as the
time. The only other action taken
was an argumq;,i to give this announce
ment, ace;,mpained by an earnest in
vit'Yiion to all the"opponents of radi
calism to unite in this movement to
select anti-radical candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency of the
United States. The proceedings were
harmonious, and the result, it is under
stood, meets the almost unanimous ap
proval of the members of the commit
tee. ________________

FIXANCIAI. EFFECT OF THE WASH

patch from Philadelphia to the Wash
ington Express says?
Outside of stocks and gold gambling,
fears are entertained" that the unsettled
state of the political horizon will act
with damaging effect on the spring
trade about to open. The President's
intention of testing the constitutionali
ty of the civil tenure bill in court is un
derstood here by the thinking tew,
ami they chuckle at the act ol tne rad
icals in Congress in convulsing the
country. The reaction, it is thought,
will be damaging to not u few_ of the
