HOYI.K, Of Fayette county. at'BVBroS ntXtUAL, CE!. WELLINGTON II. EKT, , Of Columbia oountr. It f mora I of Mitnton. Ever since tho initiation of the quarrel betwooa Prcsidont Johnson unci his former political associates, the latter, through their fanatical Re presentatives in Congress, havo been unremitting in their effort to force biui into a position of hostility to tho Constitution and the lawa, and thus furnish a pretext to rid themselves of almost the only remaining obstacle in tbe way of revolution and despot ism. A systora of espionage was established over the daily walk and conversation and habits of the Chief Executivo, that would havo done hon or to tho days of the Empire of the first Napoleon. A Cabinet officer gave bis aid to the dirty work, and proved himself an accomplished Fouche. Gen erals high on the lists of tbe army, civil officer! of tho Government, White Ilouse menials and private individuals were unceremoniously summoned be fore the Congressional Committee of Investigation to ''testify of the things whereof they knew ;" and the country was regaled with choice tit-bits from every conceivable subject literary, civil and military including the private and confidential intercourse of friends. But all in vain 1 Not withstanding tbe powerful agencies at work, nothing could be found substantial enough for a base on which to rest the articles of impeach ment, nothing that could be digni fied with the title of "high crimes and misdemeanors." These attempts at impenthincut were renewed at each go6sion of Congress, and the good people of the country wero bo ginning to hope that these spasmodic efforts of impcuchct'S wero but the prelude to a general paralysis of or ganized Radicalism. Suddenly a new lifo is infused into their efforts, and At last they, a re successful. Tho Pres ident of tho United States has been impcai bed. Tho charge against him is a violation of an act of Congress, passod in March, l?f, and known as thsTenure-of-Office bill. In ordinary timcs such a charge as this would be roceived with tho levity which its littlencit demands, but we have had too much experience with the devilish spirit of Radicalism not to know that it ia always tenibly in earnest. It wants no cause for its procedure, all it asks is a pretext. A candid exam ination of the law and the precedents will demonstrate both the wisdom and the legality of the President's course in his issue with tho Secretary of War. In tbe removal of Mr. Stan ton bo niado uso of a Constitutional prerogative which has been exorcised py all tbe Presidents sineo tho days of Washington, and which has not been called in question for eighty renrs. When Andrew Johnson en tered upon tho duties of his office, he tools a solemn oath to "preserve, pro tect and defend the Constitution of the United States." This is bis high est and most sacred duty. He must guard it from legislative encroach ments, as well as the assaults of armed force ; for it is proposition too plain to bo contested that the Constitution controls any net repugnant to it. If tiie Tenure-of-Office hill is in violation of the Constitution, the President is bound by his onth of office to disre gard it. Tbe enactment of such a law is Congressional usurpation, and an Executive would bo unfaithful to Ins trust and unjust to bit successors in offio , to remain passive when lis prerogatives and rights aro being usurped by a co-ordinate branch of the government. Tho question of constitutionality is for the Court to ri.tormii.a . i,i u. ..I. -,u.,! v i tni, question be brought before the Court, cxtvpt by an infraction of the law? Tbe President had no other alterna tive, lie must either submit to what he believes to be unconstitutional le gislation, or test it by disregarding it. But on examination, we will find that this question of removal from office has been discussed and adjudicated before. The words of tho Constitu turn are, that the President "shall there are two powers involved in the foregoing clause i I. Tut oiktT!u. Thir ia tba ant nf lh Preadeat, and ia eomplrtrly voluntary. "Z T trrnHTatiT. Tit it a'.e ua mi ftht rreaialeal. waef it aena ai'.m. met, though at a wiily he performed by aad wua the adt iee and aauarnl al lb Senate." JJtiro the doctrine ii hi-ld that the nmmaie, anq ry anu wnn l ie con- justioc when deserved, can be prema tout of tho Senate, shall appoint," Ac. tl,re. What would the patriot sires .iceording to t!e ruling of Chief of ,no devolution have said, had they Juauc. llamhall, (in 1 Crunch, 137) been told that the redress which th..r President lias the appointing power, jusl as Congress has exclusively the legislative power, although Its acts require tho nssent of the Ex entivo lo mnko them laws. In XIII Peters, 2.r!, it is decided that the power of removal is incident to the power of appointment; and tho language of the learned Judge is: faal ikt fr ' l PksiuW U rtmot vfi rers aifxi'afrd W"ln i concurrence a e .Veeotr, Ml cry eor'y oifi-nlrd its Its f mrticnl eooslme rioa ins fVoslilulion." Again : In the debates of Congress in 1789, upon tho bill for organising tho department of State, tho very question was discussed, whether or not the President possessed the power of removing from office the head of one of the Executive department. Messrs. Madison, Ames, Cly mer, Bald win, and a host of others, contended "that as an incident of Executive power and a necessary means of ena bling him to perform his duties, the power of removal belongs to the Pres ident." Mr. Madison said "Tint thr relation of principal and agent existed between the President and becretarj j thai such a power waa essential lo enable hlin U perlorm his own Constitutional duties that bo waa responsi 1.1. t lb. country fur tin acts of his azeuu and being nponiilio, Be must, Irom mo naiuru ui tu no. be at liberty to employ anu aismms pleasure, those whom he employ t al nil agents." These views wero sustained, and tho final vote expressed tho sense of the legislature, "that the poircr of remo val hu the Executive could not be -j abridged by the legislature." See Sto ry on Constitution, and Lloyd's De bates. So we might go on increasing quo tations and multiplying authorities, but these are enough to show how untenable and revolutionary is tbe ground occupied by tbe Radicals in tbe question of impeachment, and how utterly at war is their doctrines with the decisions of the Courts and the opinions of the fathers of tho Consti. tution. There are other questions involved in this issue which we will consider in the future. ''Eternal 1ifilance it I he PrUt or aUfrrrf y." The hostile altitude in wbich tbe bosottcd Congress to-dny stands to wards the liberties of a patient and suffering people, is, in all respects, worse thau that assumed by the Par liament of England which led to the American Revolution ; and every wbilo man who truly respects that Revolution, and hates the despotism that caused it, cannot fail to regard with undisguised Lorror the present "most infamous Conrrre." It is needless for us to allude to the "many infamous acts" of this Congress. The past ten days has so crowded them to gether, that no sane man can overlook them ; and it most bring the hot blush of shame to the check of every honest, patriotic American, when he contem plates the infamy which the Rump and its supporters are trying to per- petrate, while the people stand idly j by and see every vestigo of their rights . , , . , . ! taken from them. The conduct of the Stevens Star Chamber; tho infamous outlawry and arrogance of Stanton, the murderer of soldiers; and the criminal conduct of the drunken and besotted commander of tho Army, Hiram U.

Irf.ng Iwfure the hour of twelve o'clork the II all of the House ofltvp resentatives was crowded with en thusiastic diiogatos, called together from every diilrii t in tho Common wealth. The attendance is the largest over witnessed at a Sta'.o Convention in Pennsylvania, the number of per sons present being not less that fivo thousand. At 'l m. tho Convention was called to order by tho Hon. William A. j Wallace, Chairman of Clio Siuto Cen tral Committee. The list of delegates having been called, Mr. Walluce proceeded to ad dross tbe Convontion, as follows : ADDRESS or HON. W. A. WALLACE, Gentlemen of the Convention : Tbe political events of tho past year aro full of reasons for prido in your strength and confidence in your future. Success has crowned yon r efforts and tho great principles of civil libor- tv and constitutional irovcrnmeni nave asserted their power over tho minds of the people These greit doctrines gave oirtn to our organization, and when wo aro deleated in their support, iiko mo fubled AntACiis when hurled to bis mother earth, wo gather thorefroin renewed vigor and ftriso stronger and nioro ietermincd than before. Tko war and its attendant train of honors are remembered in sadness. Remon resumes its throne, and do sigring men can no longer attain their seltsh ends by appeals to passion. Christian charity now fills tho place that raneor had usurped and hate and bit'erness are slowly passing away. The Radical party have shown their incapacity to govern the Republic, ani the mass of their own adherent reingnire the fact. Famine and crime, military rule, imecurity of life and property, the ntgro dominant, the white race op piossed, are the proofs of this in one section, while grinding taxation, un certainty in business and financial d Stress pervade the other. It has given ua "a broken and di verged tnion :" corruption and ex travagance in the use of the public money ,con fusion in momentary affairs, and mismanagement of the immense revenues it has wrog from the people. It can unite pon no policy, but the perpetuation of its own power, in the road spirit of faction, it seeks to strip the Executive of his prerogative, and to ignore tbe sacred functions of the Judiciary. It tramples upon the organic law, reverses our traditions, and brands as criminal every attempt to slay its wild career. Our form of Govornment is the ex ternal evidence of our capacity for self-government, for governments are what the people mako tiicm If we c:m govern ourselves, we can sustain 'the government we love, and can safely trust to the force of ideas, to tbe march of mind, to publio opin ion to crush with the ballot those who, through the forms of law, attack the vital spirit of our institutions. TK people havo ordain(i a fr svstem or laws and a complex yet j simple organism ; the people,thc States and tho Union. The preservation of tbo rights of each of these is essential to the existence of the whole. To maintain these they have created the thie great eo-ordinato branches of the government the Executive, tho Legislative and the Judicial. Public good and private right demand the preservation of the integrity of each. Sovereignty is in the peoplo ; tho government is their creature, woven to protect their liberties; its division into independent branches was of the very essence of the system ; the de struction of either, is a etrido toward tyranny. The orgauic law defines the powers of each, and to that law each must be conformed. Tho Constitution is the Supreme law. It is tho only evidence of pow ers granted by the States and the people. It must be strictly pursued and implicity obeyed. To sustain these truths more than three hundred i thousand men in conscious stwngth and oiiiet disnitv. await vour call, and this day speak throngh you lor obedi- ence to Inw,for the Government of the Constitution and for tho Federal Union ofthe States. On motion of Hon. S. E. Ancona.of Berks, tho Hon. William M. Eandall of fSchnylkill county was chosen tern poary Chairman ofthe Convention. Jlr.

Resolved, That the happiness of the people and tho preservation of our power as a republic depends upon the perpetuity of tho Union and the pres ervation of tho Consititntion, and the prompt restoration of each and all the States to the enjoyment of their rights and functions in the Union is essential to our progress, our prosperity, and the protection of our liberties, and iUdical legislation ia the barrier thereto. Jlesolrtd, That the Constitution of the I nited States is the supreme law ; it ia binding upon the people and upon every department ofthe government, and it is the highest duty of those in and out of official place to yield impli cit obedience to all its provisions, un- ! ti' il i changed in tho manner provi- ded therein. That the recent attempt of the legislative branch ofthe gov ernment to usurp the office of the Ex ecutive, and to destroy the indepen dence of the Judiciary, are deliberate attacks upon tho plainest provisions of the Constitution, in utter violation of its spirit, and tend to the overthrow of the government itself. Rrmved, That tho Padicals in Con gress have wrung from the people enormous sums of money which they have squandered in rockless extrava gance ; that their system of revenue is ill devised, incongruous and inequi table; that rigid economy in every branch of the public service, a decrease in the number of officials, reduction in the army and navy, and reform in the collection of the fevenuo, are im peratively demanded. Only by this means can a reduction in the amount of taxation now imposed on the indus trial and manufacturing interests be at tained, and the payment of onrindebt edness be assured. Jlrnolred, That the Ilepublican par ty it responsible to the country for the delay in the restoration of the Southern States to their just relations in the Union, and for the government of tbeir people by military rule; that the purpose of these measures is to perpetuate Radical power through tbe votes of illiterate negroes. I o!rr l, That in enacting the ten-ore-of-office law the Ixgislativc and Executive branches of the government each for itself, had a right to judge of its constitutionality, and that in thus exercising the richt the Executive was duly complying with that portion of bis oath of office which required him to preserve, protec t and defend the Constitution of the United States; and that il is the rirht of e verv branch ofthe government, and of every citi ren, to bare question involving the vvMiniuuiKMiaiitr ui tiny law spetHiily j tbo United "states, and the right ol itlie rioniiln tn hsrs mmA ... oMju.-m-ii .m mo o.iprrme i oiin ol forced. .v rm4 I7IV.IIIS VII I limnlrel. Tbnt tln rusmiinn. j t-eachment of the rren'dent of the , United State, is a gross and reckless abuse of partisan power 'without iusti. ! fi,b, ,nd mcn"u T tainnierit of party pnrpo-fs at the 1 sncrifVe of the most vilfd Interests of j the country. iV.WiW, That a return to a specie fisj ing basis at the earliest pisi tn-a-ile moment is essential to the iuliT et of tho people and tho prosperity of the nation. Jit?, ilrc I, That tho national debt should bo paid as rapidly as is consis tent with tho terms of tho laws upon w hich tho several loans are based. ,!ilve,t. That tho fivo twenty bonds and tho legal tender notes arc component parts of the same financial system, and until tho government is able to redeem tho legal tenders in coin, the holders of these bonds should receive legal tenders in payment. Itctolved, That every species of property should boar its fair propor tion of taxation, and that the exemp tion of government bonds therefrom is unjust and inequitable.
