'in the Supremo court. The Court will, by
means of two cases, shortly get jurisdiction
of all the legal questions involved in the
charges' yesterdayprefeired against the
President in the Souse.. The first case
being the criminal proceedings against
General Thomas, set for bearing before
Judge Carter next Wednesday. The sec
ond case will be commenced to-morrow, by
order of the President, in the form of a
quo warranto against Secretary Stanton.
It is assumed that the District Court will
decide the tenure-of-ofllce law to be consti
tutional. But it is'the almost unanimous
opinion of lawyers of standing that ulti
mately the Supremo Court, which has ap
pellate jurisdiction of the cases, will decide
the act unconstitutional, so far as it applies
to Cabinet officers, and therefore, of course,
that neither the President nor General
Thomas have violates any law in attempt
ing to remove Stanton.
Such a decision, it is argued, would de
stroy the foundation of the Articles of Im
peachment, which, beyond any doubt, will
be adopted by the House to-morrow, by
nearly u strict party vote—only two Repub
licans having expressed a determination to
vote with the Democrats. It is believed a
majority of the Senators would prefer to
have the proceeding concluded In the Su
preme Court, before the conclusion of the
trial in t h e Semite. The occurrences of to
day were not important. Mr. Stanton still
continues to domicil within the Wur De
partment building, eating and sleeping
there to keep continuous and uninterrupted
possession. Radical 'members of congress,
Judge Fisher, of the District Cburt, General
Grant. Mrs. Stanton, and others, visited
Mr. Stanton yesterday and to-day.
Attorney-General Stanbery hail a con
sultation with the President to-day relative
to the proceedings proposed in the Court
to-morrow, and numerous friends, mem
bers of Congress, and others, have called on
Mr. Johnson to-day.
A great many telegrams have been re•
celved here since yesterday afternoon from
prominent Conservatives, advising the
President to be of good cheer, and that he
may with confidence rely upon thesupport
of the people. Telegrams also come to the
Republican members of Congress encourag
ing them to stolid firm.
Mr. Stanton informs newspaper corres
pondents that the President applied to Gen
eral Emery, commanding the Department
of Washington, for troops, to he ready to
obey the orders of the Executive, and that
General Emery replied that till orders for
.troops must come through General Grant.
That the President then applied to Colonel
Wallace, In command of the soldiers halt•
Cloned in this city, who answered that or
ders must come 4o him through General
Emiez y. Mr. Stanton further says the Pres
ident ass requested Secretory Welles to
send a In:trine corps, to he ready t o-rnorrow, '
to aid the Commander-in-Chief; ke. Wei
have the authority of the President for say
ing that there Is not a worth of truth in the
alleged statements of Mr. Stanton. On
the contrary, that information reached
Mr. Johnson that significant move-
ments of troops had taken place, tun] Emery
was called to explain what hod transpired, ,
, but no demand hits been made by the Prest•
'lent for soldiers of anybody tor tiny pur
pose. This idea of directing the military to
'execute orders of the Executive in carrying
out the order removing Mr. Stanton, or lit
tiny way titling part iu the controversy re-
halve to the possession of the War Depart
ment, originated entirely outside of the
White I louse, us heretofore stated in these
despatches, The President hue treated the
whole matter of the removal of Stanton as
coining within civil law, and has lint pro-
posed or contemplated the intervention of
the military, directly or indirectly, In the
execution of his orders or plans. .

The President to-day nominated to the
Senate Thournot Ewing, Sr., to be Secretary
or Wer, in piney of Stanton I,llloVell. Ao-
compunying titi.e 1101Ililllai011 a message
Wee Cent In, which was reed In nerret SCS
oilon.
The President, in his message, argues
that the following section of the net of 1799
given the President power to remove the
Secretary of War: Section 2d. 'Phut there
hind! Win said department MI Inferior alit

United Slalom, or in any other easo of

the ehnrgolillii custody of all records, books

It is clear that this net passed by a Con

tion through which it was bestowed upon
Ste executive. 'Flo reeognition of the
power by this act, Is I herelbre complete, as it
recognition under the Constitution itself,
for there wits no other source of authority ;
front which It could ho derived. The other
net which refers to this question la that re-
gulating the tenure of certain civil otilees
plumed by Congress on the 311 tiny of March
18117. 'IL Ilrst suction ‘.f that act Is in the
following words:
"'That every otl bolding any civil

The 'Mirth section of (hematite avt restricts
the term id °Mee to the limit prescribed by
the law creating them. The part of the first
section which prescribes the proviso de
clarers that ivory person holding a civil °lnce

they have any tenure of Wilco or any in

and Representatives for the difficult duties
now devolving upon them, and that the
people should be guided so asto respect the
Hottsfi.-The House assembled at 10 o'clook
and resumed the consideration of the im
peachment resolution. The debate was
opened by Mr. Ashley, of Ohio; , He ex
pressed his regret, that the House had not
long since preferred articles of impeach
ment against Mr. Johnson,and he proceed
ed to .show in the past. administration of
the President acts which, in his opinion,
warranted impeachmerfi.'. He felt sure that
when this trial took plimebefore the Senate,
and evidence of other crimes Watt even, the
verdict of the people would be that the act
for which he was now to be impeached was
the least of his crimes. This man Johnson
had attempted to assume legislative and
judicial as well as executive functions; he
t had made an alliance With the late rebel
enemy, appointed the worst rebelsto office,
returned to them their property, and was
responsible for, the massacres of Memphis
and New Orleans, and for the blood of all
the Union mon that had been murdered in
the South. His purpose had been and
would be to prevent reconstruction, to have
the rebel States to cast their electoral vote
for himself or his nominee, to order the
counting of the electoral votes of those
States in the House of Representatives, and
If not obeyed in that, to precipitate a revo
lution on the country.
Mr. Cook took the same side.
Mr. Boyer, Pe., opposed the resolution,
defended the President, and denied com
mission of any violation of Tenure of Office
bill, as Stanton was only Secretary of Wur
ad interim, never having been confirmed by 11
the Senate as a member of Johnson's I
Cabinet. -
. Mr. Kelsey claimed that where the
impeachment was for an indictable act,
then it was the same as a criminal proceed
ing, and the Court having Jurisdiction of
the offence must necessarily have Jurisdic
tion of the person of the criminal, und
have full control of his movements; the
criminal, therefore, as a matter of course,
had uo power to perform his °theist func
tions. Suppose the President, in time of
war, were impeached for treason, and
should, pending impeachment, propose to
deliver up to the enemy the Capitol, the
army, his judges, and himself, what would
I prevent him from doing so as Commander
in-Chief if the Impeachment Court had not
the power to restrain him and deprive him
of the exercise of his functions.
Mr. Kelsey supportedthe resolution, ar
guing us a question of law thnt the Presi
dent should be impeached. He contended
that Andrew Johnson had no term of office
us President of the United States; he was
simply Vice President, acting as President,
and, therefore, there was no force in the
point made by Boyer.
Mr. Washburn°, of 111., had not hitherto
favored impeachment, not because he did
not believe the President morally guilty of
impeachable offences, not because lie did
not execute his Administration, but because
he felt that In the ease as heretofore pre
sented there might he a doubt of his con
viction, and rather than branch out on a
doubtful experiment, he had been disposed
not to push Impeachment, in the hope that
the President, warned of the power of the
House, und indebted to its forbearance,
would so conduct himself us to nvold the
necessity of resolving to the extreme rem
edy provided by the Constitution. But all
hopes had been disappointed ; every act of
lbrbearonce has been but a fresh invitation
to further and more flagrant aggressions,
until, at last, he bud flung himself against
the very bulwarks of the Constitution, de
fying the laws, and overriding a co-ordinate
branch of the Government. The time had
now arrived when the people's representa
tives could no longer delay the vindication
or iiio constitution. To him the pathway
of duty was plain. Ile scorned the threats
which had been made upon this floor. Ile
feared no appeal to the people, but courted
such an appeal. The gentlemen had not
read history If they had riot learned that in
all contests between the Executive and the
Commons the representatives of the people
had triumphed in the end.
Surrounded by red.hnuded rebels, ad
vised nod counseled by the worst men that
ovr r crowded like filthy reptiles at the stool
of power, the President has used all the vast
authority of the GGvernment to prevent the
re-union of the States and the restoration
of the harmony, peace and happliiess °Nile
country.
At noon Mr. Woodward claimed the door,
refusing to yield it live minutes to Mr.
Wash be rue to conclude his remarks, be
cause of slanders uttered by hint against
the President., Ile argued that the resolu
tion of impeachment was a mistake and
that an Impeachment of the President on
the idea that Secretary Stanton was within
the resolution of the Tenure of Office bill
was worse than a crime, a slander. What
ever executive power the Federal Govern
ment possessed was vested in the President,
who was mode solo trustee of the people in
that regard. In the matter of appointment
to :dile° and tho treaty making functions a
cheek wits 1111 posed upon the President, but
even in these instances the power exer
cised was the President's. Theconeurrence of
the Senate was only a reguletton for the ex-
erelso of the power; it was a mere advisory
diseretion, not an executive power.
r. Woodward denied the right of the
Renate to try Impeachment. The House
was not composed, as the Constitution re-
g :tired, of members "chosen by the people
of the several Statue," nor was the Senate
of two Senators from each State. In con
elusion ;he said; Mr. Speaker, so Pure am
1 that the American people will respect this
oblection, that if I were the President's
counsellor, I would advise Wm, it' you pre
fer articles of impeachment, to detour
both to your jurisdiction and that, of the
Senate; to issue a proclamation giving you
and all tile world notice, that whilst he held
hitimuir Impeachable for misdemeanors In
office before the Constitutional tribunals,
he never woulcl subject the office Ito holdsin
trust for tho people, to the irregular, uncon
stitutional fragramentaly bodies who pro
peso to:strip him:of it. Such a proclamation,
with the army and navy to sustain It, would
moot a poputer response that would make
an end of Impeachment and impeachers.
The debate on the Impeachment resolu
tion continued until half-paid four o'clock,
when Thaddeus Stevens claimed the door
to conclude it
Stevens, who had a sent at the Clerk's
desk, commenced to read his speech, but
actor getting through the fi rst sentence he
asked; on account of the weakness of his
voice, that his speech might be read by the
Clerk. That privilege Wllt4 granted, and
the speech wan read in clear, distinct, and

A.FTERNOON SESSION,
Convention called to order at P. M.
The Report of the Committee on Resolu
tions being called for, John T. MacGonigle,
Chairman of the Committee who prepared
the Resolutions, presented and read the fol
lowing, which were unanimously adopted,
and received with enthusiastic shouts of
applause, viz:
Resolved, That the Democracy of Lan
caster county are now, as they ever have
been, opposed to whatever has a tendency
to impair or destroy the Union of the States,
and that we therefore denounce us treason
ble in design and disastrous in all its as.
pects, the baneful policy of the Radicals
that alone prevents a complete restoration
of the Union, to preserve which the people
of the North made such unexampled macri
cdtices.
Resolved, That the so-called Reconstruc•
lion Acts of Congress by which States are
stricken out of existence, and a military
F despotism established on their ruins for the
purpose of bolstering up the supremacy of
the negro race over our own, is an outrage
against which the white men of the North
will continue to protest by voice and vote
' until they are wiped out of existence.
Resolved, That the efforts of the Radicals
in Congress to deprive the President of his
constitutional powers, shows a disposition
to change the very form of ourgovernment,
and that their attacks upon the Supreme
Court of the United States, an independent
and co-ordinate branch of the Federal Gov
ernment, evidences a determination to
break down every legal barrier between
the rights of the people and the will of an
usurping despotism, which has set itself up
as a power supreme over the Executive
and Judicial branches of the general gov
ernment.
Resolved, That the Tenure of Office Bill
which takes away from the President his
constitutional control over government oft
dale, has a direct tendency to encourage
frauds on the revenue and malfeasance in ;
office, by protecting from removal dishon
est and inefficient officers.
- -
Resolved, That the strictest economy in
the administration of government is a car
dinal necessity for the preservation of our
, faith in the redemption of the public debt ;
' and to this end we recomMend theabolition
of the regular army or its reduction to the
smallest dimensions, believing that the late
war has amply demonstrated that the vol
unteer soldiery of the nation may confi
dently be relied upon for its defence.
Resolved, That the Democracy of Lancas
ter county hereby pledge themselves to
stand by and support President Johnson in
his patriotic efforts to defend, protect, and
preserve the Constitution, the rights of the
States and the liberties of the people, against
the usurpations and encroachments of a
fanatical and revolutionary Congress.
Resolved, That the conduct of W. H.
Kemble, State Treasurer, in his correspond
once with August Belmont & Co., of New
York, on official business, in casting a slur
on the religious belief of a large and re•
spectable portion of our citizens, should
moat the unqualified condemnation of our
whole people, which should also be extend
ed to the members of the Legislature of our
Slate who voted down the resolution of
censure upon the conduct of said official.
Resolved, That vacancies which may oc
cur in the Delegation elected, shall bo tilled
by the remaining delegates.

John I. Hartman, 9th Ward, city, called
for a division of the question, which after
some discussion was agreed to. '
Mr. Hensel, of Eden, offered the following
as an amendment:
Resolved, That the Chairman of the County
Committee be hereby authorized to issue a

At this point, Gen. Fisher, Columbia,
protested against the action of the County
Committee,
and declined taking any further
action with them.
Col. 0. J. Dickey, of the 4th ward read
the following protest against the proceed
ings:
The undersigned members of the Republi
can County Committee of Lancaster coun
ty ; do, hereby, most earnestly protest
against the action of the majority of said
committee, in usurping powers not belong
ing to them, by an unauthorized and un
precedented attempt to send delegates for
the Republican party of this county to the
State and National Conventions; there be
ing nothing in the new rules governing the
selection of candidates giriny ang such
powers; and all former party action and
precedent being against such a course.
The Republican masses in this county
have always reserved to themselves the
right to give expression to their choice for
candidates to fill the State and National
officers. Furthermore, they have ever
maintained their exclusive right from time
to time to select the persons to construct for
them a platform of principles to be sup
ported. They therefore appeal to the peo
ple, the source of all power.
Col. Dickey called upon those members
of the County Committee who denied the
power of the Committee to select delegates,
to meet in the Court House at 3 o'clock,
in the Orphans' Court Room.
The original rule, as offered, was then
adopted.
On motion, the Committee proceeded to
elect delegates to the National and State
Conventions. The following named, being
the number required, were elected by ac
clamation :
To the National Convention—John A
Hiestand and Robert J. Houston.
-
To State Convention—Joseph C. Stubbs,
Fulton township; Dr. J. M. Dunlap, Man
helm borough; Michael H. Shirk, West
Cocalico ; John E. Wiley, Conoy ; Col. W.
M. Wiley, city ; Jacob G. P eters, Conestoga.
On motion of Dr. Gatchell, of Marti°
twp., our delegates to the National Conven
tion were instructed to support General U.
S. Grant as the Republican candidate for
the Presidency.
The protesting members of the Commit
tee met accordingly at 3 o'clock in the
Orphans' Court Room, and were called to
order by W. S. Amweg, Esq., when Sena
tor Billingfelt; nominated O. W. Hensel, of
Eden, for Chairman, who declined serving,
and amuel Evans Esq., of Columbia, was
chosen to that position. J. I. Hartman and
A. S. Mylln, were elected Secretaries.
Col. Dickey stated the object of the meet
ing, protesting against the assumption of
the County Committee in attempting the
election of delegates to the State and Na
tional Conventions, when they had not oven
the power to choose a candidate for County
Auditor. Ho said the minority appealed to
the people in the matter, and proceeded to
state his views as to what should bo done.
Senator Billingfelt followed in a speech
of some length, supporting the position
taken by Mr. Dickey.
Wm. S. Amweg, Esq., then offered the
following resolution:
Resolved, That the Republican County
Committee call on the Republicans of Lan
caster county to meet on Saturday, the 7th
day of March, 1808, at their usual places of
holding elections, to select delegates to the
State and National Conventions; the dele
gates to be elected in the same way as we
nominated county officers last fall, known
as the Crawford County System; and that
the returnjudges meet at Lancaster city on
Monday, the nth day of March, 1868, at
o'clock A. M.
Messrs. Retire!, of East Hempfield, My
lin, of West Lampeter, and Hensel, of
Eden, gave their views on the question.
Mr. Dickey moved to amend the resolu
tion by striking out the words "Known as
the Crawford County System," as the Lan
caster County system was a different one,
which amendment was accepted.
The question was called on the resolution,
and it was unanimously adopted.
Mr. Dickey offered the following:
Resolved, That the Republicans of the
several districts of Lancaster county, in
voting for delegates to State and National
Conventions, shall, in addition to voting for
said delegates, designate their choice for
President and Vice-President of the United
States, and for Auditor and Surveyor-
General of the State; and that a majority
in each case shall be deemed instructions to
the delegates chosen, who will thus know
the wishes of the people of the county.
The resolution was adopted.
On motion it was ordered that a commit
tee of live (Including the chairman) be ap
pointed to issue an address to the people of
the county, to which the names of the mem
bers of the County Committee who favor
the movement, and such others as desire,
may be annexed. The two eeeretaries wore
also added to the committee, which Is con
stituted as follows:
G. J. Dickey, E. Billingrolt, W. D. Helical,
G. W. Hensel, Samuel Evans, A. H. Myna,
J. I. Hartman.
On motion, it vies ordered that slips be
prepared according. to the rules, and that
the names of candidates for delegates to
State and National Conventions be sent
into the chairman of this meeting by Feb
ruary 29th, in orderthat they may be print
ed,
On motion, adjourned to meet at the call
of tho chairman.
