The Impeao4ent of Foul &sit
Jonsson, for high crinkle and miacie;
meanors in office, has been a question
the policy and propriety of .w . hich
hitherto - haa divided the Ripliblfoin
party. For ourselves.we are free to
confess, that we have Amen. adverse
to such a movement,: The. matter
was vf such magnitude, and sm,
rounded and complicated by so many
delicate and abstruse legal qucstions,
that we have that his friends
would by their efforts and arguments
so becloud the question that its pro
priety and justice would not strike
the country instinctively and forcibly.
- If the spirit Which has governed
the President, in his opposition to
the will of Ake' people, and, his defi
ance of_ the laws of Congreas, could
have been put in evidence against
him, his IMpenchment_ would long
ago have beetraommnpliihed. 'Bat
in all his attempts to 'subvert the
laws. and hinder the process of re-
construction, the cunning of the
demagogue has been employed, and
the President has so - Mined himself
behind the acts of iaATiOlirglirhile
there was no don : , - that -he justly
merited Impeabhme t, there was a
question as to whe her be had laid
himself open to such action It the
part of the House.
,But in his appointment of Gen.
THOMAS, as Secretary, ad interim, and
his order to him to assume the duties
of the office, he was guilty of a grave
infraction of law. He'makes no pre
tence to obey the provisions of the
Tenure of Office law, but sets at
work deliberately to violate a law,
he was sworn to respect and see
faithfully carried out. This revolt'.
tionary act, !Tema to have satisfied
the most doubting, that the President
must be stopped in his mad career,
before Revolution itself spread its
sombre mantle over the country.—
The discussion in the House shows
that there was perfect accord among
the Republidans as to the necessity
and propriety of Impeachment under
the circumstances, the debate in the
.House was marked by an absence of
temper, and_ a propriety of expres
sion which demonstrated that the ac
tion determined upon was not the re
sult of partizan animosity-but sprung
from ar k conscientious conviction of 1
duty, and from a feeling that a prop
er respect for Congress, and a regard
for the people, demanded that the
President should be taught that he
cannot with impunity usurp the pow
er belonging to the one, nor wilfully
betray and imperil the interests 19f
the other.
Whilst the House has thus prompt
ly and properly discharged its duty,
there need not be any apprehension
that there will be unseemly haste on
the part of the high court which is
Ito trphe President. He will there
be allowed all the time and latitude
necessary for a proper defense. Hay.
ing been allowed this, we trust that
the question will be fairly and boldly
met, leaving the consequences in the
heeds of Gon, and the American peo
ple.
' The President will be arraigned I
and tried fur a violation of the Ten- '
umpf office law. But while he is
being tried in the Senate for this
technical offenbe, he is really arraign
ed before the . country for manifold
and graver crime;. In his arraign
ment before the Senate it is only set
forth that he has wilfully violated a
single law he was sworn to see faith
fully executed, bat before the whole
country he is on trial for an attempt
to render void the most important
legislation of the country, to prevent
the reconstruction; of the Union, to
produce anarchy and confusion, and
to breed disquiet and disloyalty-,
where the nation needs and desires
peace and quiet.
Not satisfied with exhausting
constitutional powers, by vetoing the
acts of Congress, he has sought to
embarrass and prev_vt the aticcess.
fat operation of laws4assed over his
vetoes,Ahus encouraging therebel
lions spiro of the South, until dis.,
loyalty is more prevalent and p . esti4

course has been a praotics . 11 nullifica
tion of the acts of Congress, leading
I him on from step to step, until he has
made this direct issue by-plain IHols,-
-tion of a law of the land.
It is not so much a matter of im
portanp to *the country; as to who
occupies the positiou of Secretary of
War—whether it be Secretary Swot-
TON:or Gen. Tuomas—as that the in
cumbent shall be willing to impar
tially and faithfully execute the laws
of the country. The Secretary of
War may do much towards restoring
the peace and quiet of the country,
or he may materially prevent the ex
ecution of the Reconitractioo acts of
Congress. It was for this, reason
that President Jiatxsoo desired the
presence in the War Department , of a
man who would be a Pee tool in
carrying out his usurpations, It is
It is not that he turns out of office
this Wan or that man, but because he
commits a flagrant violation of slaw
whose / provisions he well understands
and whose penalties he offered to as

Family Sewing Machines-.
Thenßlitchines are superior to all others for
family use, for the following reason's:
They sew with two threads Oeeret from the
knob's, and - require no rewinding: -
They are more -easily understoi,d and used,
and lea liable _to derangement, than other ma
chines.
They are capable ol rt.xecuting perfeet_y,
without change of adjustment, a much greater
variety . ot.work than other machines.,•
The stitch made by these machines Is• much
more Arm, elistic, and durable, especially upon
articles which require to be.washed and Ironed,
than any other stitch.
This stitch, owing tp the manner in which
the under thread is unwrought, is much- the
i v
most plum and beautiful in uso, and retains
this plum es and beauty, even upon articles
frequently a bed and ironed, until they are
worn out,
The strue are of the. seam is such, that, tho'
it be cut on, token at intervals z . rf.-only a few•
Stitches, it will neither .open, ran, nur ravel,
but remains firm and durable:
Unlike other machines, these fasten ball
ends of the seam by-their own operation.
With these machines, while silk is used upon'
the right or face side of the seam, cotton m4y
be used upon the other side without lesliening
the strength or durability of the seam. This
can be done on no other machine; and.is a great
saving upon- all articles stitched or made np
with silk. -
These machines, in'addition to their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, execute the
most beautiful. and permanent embroidery and
ornamental work.
You can get Sowing Machine Needles, and all
articles pertaining to the naachfne business.
