The Senate was electrified on Friday
by a brief message from the President,
In which be stated that W bad removed
Edwin .111. Stanton, and appointed Gen
end Lelttnzo Thomas, Adjutant General
of the United states Army, to theposi
floss of Secretary of War. This caused
great commotion among the Radical
Senators, who at once voted an executive
tweston. Radicals raved, whilst Demo
crats+ sad COnservatl ves mai ntai Bed calm
tempers, confident thot the Constitution
was on the President's side. Senator
Wilson Introduced *resolution declaring
that "the President has no power to
remove the Secretary of War, and desig
nate another officer to perform the duties
of that Milne." The debate which fol
lowed waseernest and spirited. Senators
Hendricks, Reverdy Johnson, and oth
ers, made pOwerful arguments in sup
port of the President's power to choose
his own Cabinet—the.Constitation al
ways gave him that right, and Congress
could not take it from him. The Twin-
Lion passed, by almost a party vote.
Intense excitement also prevailed in
the House, and throughout, the city.
Itestlicale 'ran to Stanton, to advise him
to keep possession of the ollioe—not to
ieeve it for a moment—even, to sleep
there,—which he did.
Many Corutervatives visited the Presi
dent, to assure him of their hearty en
dorsement of his position. •
The Radical threat of Impeachment
was revived. But the President re
mained calm and unmoored, asserting
that there was no occasion for excite
ment—that be relied upon civil process
to vindicate his right as President to get
rid of Stanton--and that he felt, quite
certain the Supreme Court would sus
tain him.
General Thomas coaled upon Stanton
and handed him the President's order of
retrieval. Stanton deellued to go, and
after a long talk, General Thomas re
tired.
Stanton thee bed the War Milos placed
under double guard olsoldiers, with in
structions to admit no one unless by his
permission.
On Saturday, Stanton made an affida
vit before Judge Carter, of the District
Court, against General Thomas, for ob
structing the tenure-of-office law.—
Thomas was arrested by Marshal Good
ing, and taken before Judge Carter, who
released him on $5,000 bail. At half
past eleven, Gen. Thomas again went to
the War Department and demanded pos
session. Stanton persisted in hie deter
mination to hold on. After some further
parley, Thomas retired, andaepaired to
the Executive Mansion.
The President directed an application
to he made to the Supreme Court for a
mandamus, with the view of making
Stanton show under and by what author
ity he retains possession of the War De
partment.
In the meantime many letters and
despatches were received by the Presi
dent, from different parts or the country,
containing lISIMMIMOS of approbation and
support. The Radicals were entx,orsgod
in the same way.

Tiu PEOPLE SPEAKING !—On Mon
day evening, the McClellan Club of the
Twentieth Ward, Philadelphia, held a
spirited meeting, at which telling speech
es were made and resolutions adopted to
stand by the President—"to perish or
maintain inviolate the Constitution"—
and calling upon "the people, without
distinction of party, to drive the bold
invaders of our liberties from power,
that peace, prosperity and happiness
may once more dawn upon the country."
The Fifteenth Ward Democratic Club
also held a meeting, at which Colonel
Leckler, Colonel Greene, and others,
made eloquent andenthusiastiospeeehes,
denouncing the aeUon of the l'anote
Congress, and endorsing the President
in the position he hasiaken.
The Young Men's Keystone Club also
met in full numbers. Stirring speeches
were made, and the following resolution
wee adopted :
Resolved, That the services of the
Club be tended to the President In de
fence of his constitutional authority as
Chief Executive of the nation.
The Club preserves a regular regimen
tal organization, being officered in mill
tary style. .
BOTH Homes of the New Jersey Legis
lathre have passed the following resolu
tion :
Resolved, That the President of the
United States, In his struggle against
the encroachments of the Radical majori
ty of Congress, has our hearty sympathy,
and we hereby request the Joint Com
mittee on Federal Relations to prepare
substantial resolutions, to be submitted
at the earliest moment in both Houses
of this Legislature, expressive of our
feelings in regard to the exigency of
public affairs.
THE Radicals shout, stand by Congress.
"This," says the New Haven Bviater,
"means anarchy and revolution. We
say to every man—'Stand by the Consti•
tution.' The tenure-of-office bill is not
constitutional, in the opinion of the
most distinguished lawyers In the coun
try—Stanton among the number. The
'resident proposes to so regard it, and

If war Is what these Radical Jacobins
want, war let them have. It le no althir

We insist that they shall be permitted
to do so. Stand by the Constitution. If
necessary, fight for the Constitution.—

are said to do. It. is simply a question
concerning the relative powers and
rights of the executive and the legi.ile
tive departments in the matter of ap
pointment and removal ef civil officers
of the government. Does the constitu

hint? it 14 purely a question of Inter
pretalke and construction, sad clearly
one whiz!' neither party eau claim to
decide for itself. Both must submit to
the judgment of the common arbiter
which the constitution itself provides.
The impeachment of the President, If
pushed to trial In advance of such a de
cision by the Supreme Court, is a viola
tiou of this principle. It is an attempt
of one of the parties to the controversy
to decide it for both. It assumes that
Congress had a right to pass the law—
and that the President, in denying that
right, commits a crime and incurs a pea
ally—not only the penalty which the
law itself prescribes, but the higher pen
,
ally of removal from office which fol
lows conviction under process of im
peachment. And it makes the Senate,
which Is one of the parties to the enact
ment of the law, a court for trying the
President for what i. an offence only as
the law itself makes it one, and gives
the Senate the full power also of deed
' ding the constitutionality of its own ac
tion. Suppose the House should im
peach the President and the Senate
should convict him and depose him
from office for having acted in violation
of this law; and the Supreme Court
should afterward, in due course of its ju
dicial action, .decide the law to be un
constitutional, what would he the posi
tion of the President and Senate before
the country ? Must the President be
punished for maintaintng the authority
of the constitution against au invalid
law? Or is the Senate's judgment of
the constitution to override that of the
Supreme Court?
In our judgment, the impeachment of
the President is wholly out of place so
long as the constitutionality of this law
Is In controversy. If the law is uncon
stitutional, mud therefore null and void,
then the President haa committed no of
fence and done nothing to deserve im
peachment. If the law le valid, then lie
hum been guilty of a "high misdemean
or," under the definition of the law it
self, and may be arraigned, tried and
punished therefor. And neither the
House nor the Senate is the proper tri
bunal for deciding this question. It cer
tainly would be a very extraordinary
spectacle to see Congress pass a law crea
ting an offence and prescribing a penal
ty, and then acting at once as prosecu
tor, judge, jury and executioner upon
the President for violation of its provi
sions. Such a proceeding confounds ail
our ideas of the distribution of power
among different departments of the gov
ernment, We do not believe the Senate
will take such action in the present wee.
That body will probably await the ac
tion of the Supremo Court iu the case
growing out of Mr. Stanton's proceed
ings against General Thomas. If the
law is sustained by the court, impeach
ment may go on. If not, it will proba
bly be dropped—for we do not thiuk the
Senate is prepared to set aside that court
or disregard its decisions altogether,
:The New York Sun, intensely Radical
as it is, declares that the President ought
not to be impeached so long as there is
any possible doubt as to the constitution
ality of the tenure of office bill, and
trusts that Congress will take no conclu
sive action until the Supreme Court's de
cision thereon is had.
I=
The New York Post, a Radical paper,
takes exception to the hot haste in which
the House has rushed into impeach m en t,
and advisee that the tenure of °face bill
be tested before the Supreme Court be
fore any other proceeding be had. As
to the law it mays:
Mr. Madison, who bad more to do with
the framing of the organics law than any
other man, was at first disposed to believe
that the consent of the Senate was as
necessary to a removal as to an appoint
ment, but he afterwards changed his
opinion, and in the Congress of 1789,
when the subject was debated, strenu
ously maintained that the power of re
moval was an exclusively executive
power . During Jackson's administra-
Oen also, when the Whig party was so
incensed by the numerous official decapi
tations made by the President, Daniel
Webster himself admitted that policy
and precedent were all on the same side.
But Congress, at a late session, fearing
the improper use of this power on the
part of the President, passed a law over
ilia veto, providing that no officer shall
be removed during a session of Congress
without the consent of the Senate, and
that any removal made contrary to the
provisions of the act should be deemed
a misdemeanor, subjecting the offender
to legal trial, and, on conviction, to penal
ty. Senator Sherman asserted on Satur
day that this laciewas not, at the time
of its passage, intended to bear upon the
change of his Cabinet by the President,
but the words of it contain no such ex
ception, and are prempto7 and explicit.
Now this statute, as it stands, is a
law of the land, and it continues such
until Invalidated bya competent anthori
ty. The President is bound by it as
much as any humble citizen, whatever
his convictions may be in regard to its
constitutionality or its policy. On those
points we concur with him ; we are sor
ry that the Congress considered It a duty
to take this method of restraining the
executive action ; and, like Generals
Grant and Sherman, we have steadily
disapproved of the conduct of Mr. Stan
ton in consenting to accept position in
L---C-Adaknet where he NVWB not wanted,
and under a law which his cons - CO . lw,
condemns.
ARE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS TO BE
COME MERE FARCES?—The New York
World Faye :
The crime for which the President is
to be impeached consists simply In the
exercise of a right which has been en
joyed by all his predecessors, and be
longs to the executive head of every
government In the world. This right is
called in question by a pretended law,
which is In such flagrant violation of
the constitution, es will as of all prece
dents, that this same Stanton, who is a
lawyer and has been attorney-general,
advised the President to veto It. And
now the President is to be impeached in
Stanton's interest because he believe@
the law to be unconstitutional, and in
stitutes p ro ceedings to bring it to &judi
cial test . If the precedent now set is to
be followed, It will be in the power of
any future Congress to summarily ejeet
any future President. Congress has
merely to pass some unconstitutional
law which reverses the whole past pme-
Me of the government, and when the
President takes the first step for bring
ing It to a judicial lest, forthwith pat
him out of to by articles of impeach
ment. We might as well abolish the
farce of preeklential elections if Congress
can thus unmake elected presidents at
their caprice.
THE House is maktng all possible haste
to displace President Johnson, but cool
heads thin]; It will be some months be
fore the trial can be concluded, and that
ivietion is far from 'being metals,
Radical as the Hecate is. The gravity of
the awe Isbeginning to be appreciated
throughout the country—and fear of a
disastrous political effect is also having
weight with Republican. not utterly
blinded by party 144.

erettitable to him as 0 errerngrous States-
Maa and a profound lawyer. Heairgaied
*hat the resolution of impeachment lass
a mistake, and that an impeachment of
the President on the idea that Secretary
Stanton was within the protection of
the tenure-of-office bill, was what
Fouche, the chief of the old French po
llee, would have called worse than a
crime, a blunder. Whatever executive
power the Federal government possessed
was vested in the President, who was
made the sole trustee of the people in
that regard. In the matter of appoint
ments to office and the treaty-making
function a cheek was imposed upon the
President, hut even in those instances
the power exercised was the President's.
The concurrence of the Senate was only
a regulation for the exercise of the pow
er. It was a mere advisory discretion,
not an executive power.
The separateness and completeness of
.t.lais executive power in the hands of the
President was a doctrine essential to the
harmony of the system of government
and to the responsibility of the President
to the people. If Congrees meddled with
it, CO - sgress became a trespasser, and its
act an impertinent nullity, and the Pres
ident was not to be impeached for disre
garding it.
He quoted extracts from the debate in
the First Congress upon the Executive
Department, and argued that that debate
settled this question absolutely, and de
monstrated the utter unconstitutionality
of the act of March 2, 1567. He also ar
gued that by the very terms of that act
itself Mr. Stanton did not come within
its scope, and quoted Senator Sherman
and Messrs. Spalding and Digham La
king that stme slew of the law when
it was under consideration
Mr, Johnson was a man of the Repub
lican party's own choosing, and lie veri
ly beliex ed that the President was trying
to restore the Cnion, to pacify the coun
try, and to administer his high office
with a faithful regard to the obligations
of the Constitution and the best interests
of the people. He seemed a true friend
to the whole of his country, a faithful
public officer, and entitled to Cabinet
advisers who were his friends and not
his enemies. Congress had far better
sustain such a man in his constitutional
rights, and address itself to the relief of
the suffering country, than to waste its
time and the people's money In impeach
ing a faithful public servant on charges
that arc both false and foolish. At the
risk of denunciation, be NVialilward) de
nied the right of the Senate to try Im
peachment.
The House was not composed, as the
Constitution required, of members cho
sen by the people of the several States.
Nor was the Senate composed of two
Senators from each State. In conclu
sion, lie said : Mr. Speaker, so sure am I
that the American people would respect
this objection, that if I were the Pres
ident's counsellor, I would advise
him that if youprepare articles of
Impeachment, to demur both to your
jurisdiction and that of the Senate,
and to issue a proclamation giving you
and all the world notice that whilst
he held himself impeachable for misde
meanors in office, before the gonstittz-
Ronal tribunal, be never would subject
the office he holds In trust for the people
to the irregular, unconstitutional, frag
mentary bodies who propose to strip
him of it. Such a proclamation,
with
the army and navy in his hands to sus
tain it, would meet a popular response
that would make an end of impeach
ment ant) laipeaclora.
CONGRESS OUGHT TO RE 11/YEA CU
The Lancaster Intelligencer says :
The Radicals in Oongress are now busi
ly engaged in an effort to depose the
lawfully elected President of the United
States. The charge which they bring
against him is one to which no criminali
ty attaches. Re has done nothing more
than all his predecessors in office have
stood ready to do whenever the necessity
might arise. That the President of the
United States bad the right to say who
should constitute his Cabinet, was never
questioned until the present Congress
began to usurp the powers of the Execu
tive branch of the Federal Government.
The present seeming conflict of authority
does not spring from any attempt of the
President to overstep the constitutional
limits of his pow ers, but from a deliber
ate design on the part of a revolutionary
Congress to arrogate to itself entire con
trol of the other eo-oi dinate branches of
the government, which were created
and designed to continue independent
in their respective spheres. While Con
gress will seek in vain for any net of the
President which would even justify cen
sure, that body stands before the country
convicted of the grossest political crimes
and the most reckless outrages upon the
rights and liberties of the people. It is
Congress and not the President that
deserves to be impeached and removed.
TIIE morning mongrel organ says
"Edwin M. Stanton is one of the great
est constitutional lawyers in the coun
try." So it would seem from the fact
that he was the first to advise the Presi
dent to veto:the Tenure of Office bill on
account of its unconstitlonality, and ac
tually wrote that message himself. lie is
certainly lawyer enough to know that
he cannot hold his present position un
der that act after a legal decision by the
Supreme Court, hence he asks the
Rump Congress and the Radical party
to prevent the President, by violent pro
ceedings, from appealing to the Court.
This shows that however good a lawyer
he may be, lie Is an infamous time-ser
ver.—Patriot ifs Union.
Drztocksxs and Conservatives! be of
good cheer! The infamous revolutionists
in Congress are, unwittingly, fighting
your battle every hour of their existence.
No matter how the impeachment farce
may end it will be to them the Dead
Sea's frail--dust and ashes to their lips!
Their harsh, unwise, unnecessary, and
unconstitutional legislation has thor
oughly disgusted the country, that in
six months' time they will not have
adherents enough among the masses to
make a decent funeral. 4 rant, if I.loo3i
natet, will ixt. dolin in ignominy and
dlegrace. Chase, if their standard-bearer,
will not poll as repeotable a vote as Fre•
wont in 1856. The Radicals sealed their
own doom at five o'clock on Monday,
the Twenty-fourth day of February, one
thousand eight hundred anti sixty-eight •
—Age.
IN a trial on impeachment the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court presides and
two-thirds of the Senators are necessary
to a conviction. The present Runap or
fragmentary Senate stands: Rads 45;
Democrats B—Mr. Thomas, of Maryland,
having been rejected lately, no doubt in
anticipation of such a trial. Senator
Doolittle will vote with the DeumenkcY,
making the count stand—Rads 44; Dem
ocrats 9. If all the Rads vote together
President Johnson would be convicted,
of course. However, twenty Senators,
from ten of the Southern States, are Mr
sent. The presence of these would of
course materially change results, and
the legality of au impeachment trial in
their enforced absence may well be ques
tioned.

THE STANTON AFFAIR.
The New York Journal of Comnieroa,
one of the most dispassionate and re
' apeetablojourgiaLs In the eeuntry v in an
tgrtiele on'the Stanitin agektr, say
It must he (Wide*, to every ca did ob
server, that tie cdingreAsiortal pagtv has
made a great mietitke , in foreingtßie is
sue upon the particular point now most
prominently in dispute. It is altogether
the weakest part of their whole case, and
the President has shown no II ttle shrewd
ness in selecting Mr. Stanton as the ob
ject of attack. In the first place the gen
eral public feet no personal sympathy for
Mr. Stanton. Unscrupulous, overbear
ing, double faced, and greedily selfish,
even the Radicals dislike anti mistrust
him. Nor have those who defend the
tenure-of-office act any strong ground
to stand upon to its support. Its consti
tutionality is, to say the least, very doubt
ful, and hence they are afraid to submit
it to the courts. Allother considerations
are alike against it. Every one must
confess that it seems a great hardship to
insist that the President may not select
his own Cabinet, nor change those of
his constitutional advisers whose opin
ions are directly adverse to the principles
he Is endeavoring to establish and main
tain. Especially will the people sym
pathize with him in this struggle to free
himself from an obnoxious adviser, when
it Is remembered that the secretary he
would displace was not one of his own ap
pointment, but came to him as a legacy
from a former incumbent of the office
to which he has succeeded.
Every right-minded man feels that the
attempt to force this cabinet officer into
the President's counsels, when the latter
has signified his unwillingness to con
tinue him in that relation, is au outrage
to which no one could be expected to
submit patiently.
A (MOONY PICTURE
"Let it not be forgotten by Congress
men that our national revenue is less
than 55,000,000 a week, or $250,000,000 a
year, while our expenditures are $350,-
000,000, or say $80U,000,000, after the
proper retrenchment. Is this deficit to
continue and to increase? Let the reve
nue he short next summer, and the par
ty may as well step aside in the most
quiet manner possible If in Its finances
it shall make so great a failure as to in
crease, instead of (italinibh, the public
debt, 'all the learning and all the piety'
of the country can'tsave it."
We dip the above from the Cincinnati
limes, a paper thoroughly devoted to
the interests of the Radical party, from
which it is evident that the more intel
ligent and knowing Radicals look upon
the Republican party as a stupendous fail
ure, and virtually acknowledge Its utter
incapacity to successfully administer the
ClOvernment.
It must not be forgotten that this pic
ture—and a gloomy one it is—of the pres
ent condition of affairs, is drawn by a
Republican hand. Is further evidence
needed to convince the people that a
change In the administration of the Gov
ernment is necessary for the peace, pros
perity and progress of the country
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The President
received to-day and to-night numerous
dispatches from Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New York, Indiana, etc., eto., .souring
him of the support of the people, pledg
ing any regained help is men and money
to protect him from Radical usurpations,
and illegal and unconstitutional proce
dure. One dispatch from New York, re
presenting a large body of men, winds up
with this sentence "We will take care
of Geary'a men."
A PAPER is iu course of signature lu
New York declaring that tho subscribers
are in favor of forming a series of asso
ciations in support of the policy of Presi
dent Johnson, and are willing to resort
to arms to repel any revolutionary at
tempt ou the part of Congress to over
throw the lawful authority of the Chief
Executive of the nation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.s.—The Demo
crats had a caucus to-night in the judi
ciary committee mom* of the House,
which was largely attended, nearly all
the Democratic members of the House
and Senate being present. 'The general
situation was discussed and arrange
ments were made with regard to the
coming campaign. In view of the ac
tion of the House to-dayin 'huffing de
bate on the forthcoming Impeachment
articles, a line of action was agreed upon,
and the minority is now thoroughly or
ganized to act with unanimity on every
question.
AN EXAMPLE NyORTTI IMITATING
An active Democrat in one of the town•
ships of Guernsey county, Ohio, has pro
cured the names of every Democratic
voter in his own and an adjoining school
district as subscribers to a Democratic
county paper. That Is an example that
is worthy of being followed in this and
all other counties, in order to secure the
ascendancy of Democracy, liberty and
constitutional government.
WHEN the Democracy ruled the coun
try $2,400 was sufficient pay for a mem
ber of Congress. Since Radicalism came
in the pay has been advanced to $lO,OOO.
This males an additional annual expen
diture a' about $2,470,000. We hear no
Radical talk of economizing iu this di
rection.
E Republicans of Florida have nomi
nated Gellings, a disreputable white
man, for Governor, Sanders, a negro,
for Lleutentant Governor, and Gibbs,
a negro , : for Congress. How long will
moderate Republicans in the North con
tinue their connection with such a par.
ty?
THE Radical Vonveution a Indiana
has nominated Conrad Baker, formerly
of this place, for Governor. The Demo
crat' have nominated Senator Ues•
dricks for the same ()%te, and Will elect
him.
Two Grant and Fenton' ratification
meetings have been held in the city of
New York within the past ten days.
They were both failures, the ball of the
Cooper Institute not being near full on
either occasion.. Though Grant is al
ready the candidate of the Radicals, his
nomination falls to awaken a spark of
enthusiasm among the masses of the
people. They are studying the political
questions of the day, and preparing to
vote against the party, which is putting
Grant forward with a very faint hype of
electing hlm.
THE President's reception on Monday
evening was one 6f the most brilliant of
the season. A great number of army
and navy officers were present, as well
as the elite and fashion of the capital.
The President never appeared lu finer
spirits, says a correspondent.
A RADICAL contemporary says "Han
cock refuses to obey Grant." If this were
tree, we might inquire who set the ex
ample? Who among our Generals
has been so insubordinate as Grant him
self?
AT the recent municipal election In
Tyrone, Pa., the Democrats made a
large sutn upon last fall. The "gain"-le
almost everywhere on the same slde—for
a white nUIDA government.
Trim Indiana Radical State Conven
tion, recently held, passed a resolution
declaring that "sal bonds Issued therefor
should be paW in legal tenders, common
ly called greenbacks." Let us bear no
more Radical. deasnelatioa of Mr. Pen
dieter's plan.
