The faces of men who profess to know the Inner workings and purposes of tho leaders in impeach-; ment arc absolutely blanched with fear tor; ihe consequences. According .to these por «ons the impeachers expect to force their project ' immediately to the end. They expect that the Senate, the House having impeached the l real-: dent, will at pneo commence the trial and will proceSd lo the culmination of the project with! tho certain conviction aud removal ot tho Presi-! dent within ten or hfreen’daye.

It Is not probable that he can be induced to set aside all.other considerations, and at once take part in the separate, proceedings, merely to gratify those who. seek to dispose of this grave awl vitally important matter in a “jiffy.. Your correspondent feels confident in asserting thus much m reference to the Chief Justice, though of course there .is jno posltiyo antiiority for it If this position'be correct, then the, impeachment trial cannot proceed until perhaps In May; mean time It is predicted that impeachment will have failed, by reason of adjudication upon the consti tutionality of the Tenure of Office act in the Bupreme Court That. Court will, by means of two cases, shortly get jurisdiction of ail the legaj ' questions involved m the charges yesterday pre ferred gainst the President in the .House. The first casebeing the criminal proceedings agamst General Thomas, Bet for before Judge Cartier next Wednesday. The second case will be conK menced to-morrow, by order of the President, in me, lorin of a g no warranto agninßt Secretary assnmed that the District Court will de cide the Tenure"of Office law to.be constitutional. But it Is the almost unanimous opinion of law yers of standing that Ultimately the Supreme Court, which has appellate jurisdiction of the cases, will decide the act unconstitutional, so far as it applies to Cabinet officers, and Therefore, oi course, that neither the President nor General Tboma3 has violated any law in attempting to remove Stanton. ■ . Such a decision, it is argued, would destroy the foundation of the Articles of Impeachment, which, beyond any doubt, will bo adopted by the House to-morrow, by nearly a strict party vote two Republicans having expressed a de termination to vote" with the Democrats. It is hdieiied a majority of the Senators would prefer id have the proceedings conoludod in the Supreme Court before the conclusion. of the trial in the Senate." The occurrences of to-day were not im portant. Mr. Stanton stlll continues to domicil withili the War Department building, eating and detping there to %ep continuous and umntcr rrigted possession. Radical members of Corn gress.t Judge Fisher,, of the District Court, Gcoe ral'Crfapt) JVlfs. Stanton, and others, visited Mr. Stanton yesterday and to-day.' "Attortiey-General Btanbery had a consultation With the, President to-(lay relative to the pro ceedings proposed in; the Court tosmorrow, and numerous ‘friends; members of Congress, and otherevbaYe called on Mr. Johnson to-day. A" great many telegrams have been received here, sihcc yesterday afternoon, from pYooiineni Conservatives, advising the President good cheer, and that lie may, with rely upon the support of tho peon* aiSO'come to tho Republican ini grese, encouraging them to stand; Mr. Stanton informs newßpapai that the President - applied to Gi commanding Department of Wt. troops, to be ready to obey the orders of the Ex eraUve, and that General Emery replied that ail croerefor troops'must come through General Gftuat ■•i Thgt thei President then applied to Col.

Mr. Stanton further corps, to be mdy to-morrow to aid the Commander-ih-Chief, &c. We have the anthoriot of the President for saying that there is not a word of truth in the alleged statements of Mr, Stanton". ’On the contrary, that information reached Mr. Johnson that significant movements of (r bops had taken place, and Emery was called to exjjdm>lW»‘t. hW transpired, bat no demand baSbecnmade bytha President for’soldiers of anybody for, any purpose.

Harrisburg, Feb. 23—Governor Gnat?'yes terday sent the following despatch: Simon Cameron , United States Senate, Wash inoton.l). The news to-day has created a profound sensation in Pennsylvania. The spirit of 1601 seems again to pervade the Keystone State. Troops are rapidly tendering their services to sustain the laws. Let Congress stand firm. .Tons W. Geakv. [Special Despatch to the I’oet.J There. is no doubt but that the President contem plated a forcible revolution, and the assertion by I arms oj his constitutional theories against Congress. There As evidence that he sought the military sup port and leadership of troops to carry out his strug- I ale i&ilh the Secretary of War, and afiertcards with the Representatives of the people.. Gen. Thomas I iudiscrcctlf/^-but .utmost-publicly and j avowed bis purpose of enforcing liia: demand of I possession of the War Department by the use of eoldiers required from General Grant. He also J declared. that General Grant could not lawfully I disobey his order for troops, and suggested the 1 consequences that would surely follow his dis obedience—arrest and court-martial. The belief has authority that the tender of help from the. Maryland rebels, in the shapo of battal- I tons ot the butternut militia, organized by Gov. | Swann;by Gen. Jeffers, now Register of the Trea- I sury, has been sympathetically made to the Prcsi- I dent. The information is undoubted that in the I President's interviews with Gen. Emory, who com- j viands the department embracing the District of I Columbia, Virginia und Maryland, he asked the I assistance of the garrison of the citu to enable I Thomas to tuke forcible possession of the War Office. I Emory, whose reliability has been unjustly ques tioned, refuses to furnish troops for the purpose indicated, unless expressly ordered to do so bv Gen. Grant, which condition tho President seems | to-hayoliad little confidence in, forhu applied to Col. Wallace, of the Twelfth Infantry, who com mands theißilltary post of Washington City, and this officer lobtprecisely the ground occupied by - Gen. Emory, namely: that he canid not act upon any orders exceptThpse emanating from his di rect military superiors.'-' • ... Johnson’s hope of the army aid has ended m mist, and, as a last resort, Wellee, so the informu iion goes, has offered bis garrison, some two hun dred in number, to beat down the civil barriere, compassing the war office, and install Thomas in his coveted position. Bnt another grief awaits the President in connection with this last hope. Welles relies, and of course Johnson docß also, on Colonel Zellln’s command of the marines, but from nil accounts, Zeilin is made of sterner stuff, , and may be relied on by the other Side. So the Nflgbt assumes, on the. part of the President, a hopeless presence, defeat and repudiation on the part of the army and navy, with impeachment staring him in the face. He will be a prodigy of valorous courage, if he can conceive or any cred itable means of exit from this siege of troubles. * * * * * * * Your correspondent, to-day, visited several «r tlio more prominent ot' the Democratic members of Congress, for the purpose of learning their in dividual views of Johnson’s coup d'etat. They all stem to ho in total ignorance of - Ur. Johnson's movements or intentions. They say that in this last movement it would appeal; that Mr. Jolinsou hod consulted; no one. Jerry Black, who is known to be his confidential friend and adviser, has been absent from this city since the early port driest week. A f tor the Semite had taken Us decidtd position upon the removal of Stanton, the Tiesideut telegraphed for Black to return 1 here immediatelyas'be“ wished"him - to"'ftCt as counsel for, General Thomas. Judge black has not as yet arrived, and Attorney-Gene ral Slunbety is acting as the legal adviser of Mr; Johnson. He has been closeted with the Presi dent roost of to-day, and a plan of procedure for to-morrow has been agreed upon. They have agreed to forego their warlike intentions, and to take the matter before the courts- to-morrow in some shape. There are sevoml rnmora as to the course they will pursue. It appears to be pretty j wcll'gfcttlcd, however, that a mandamus, or writ quo warranto, will be applied for to-morrow, de ’, mandlng or compelllhg"Mr. Stanton to show • cause why bo retains possessioaadf the War De i partment and its records in cofifravention to his j official JSffincß tiro i very sanguine tbat lmpettChment Will Tall through: by : reason of the <' adjudication In tlje courts upon the constitutionality 1 of the Totfure' Of' Office Law.

'During yesterday And jto-dayt.'alsbj the President received numerous telegranis from Conservatives, and Democratic friends advising him to,be of gdod cheer, and that he may, rely upon the support- of the 1 people in : this his hour of trial.

Emory, tho commandant of the Department of Washing ton, and during the Interview:which followed, attempted to obtain a promise from him to recog nize orders regarding ; the movement of troops which might bo issued from the White Honse. His attempt failed; as General Emory replied as follows: ‘‘The law Bays, Mr. President, that I shall obey only such orders as Tmay receive through the proper military channels, and I will obey only Buch orders, and np others.” Geu. Emory will be subpoenaed by the Reconstruction Com mittee to-morrow, to givo evidence on the subject of this interview. Latkr— lo.ls.—The latest rumor is that Secre tary AVelles has come to the rescue of his chief,, and actually made a formal, tender of the marine; force in.the navy,yard to. the President if their services are requhed to assist in enforcing his or-', ders. . The'force numbers about five hundred: muskets, and is under the absolute, command of; the Secretary of the Navy. There is no doubt; that the President is looking .around for. troops; in. every direction, though it. is hot., certain that; he intends to use. then), and it is therefore quitej probable that this rumor about Secretary Wollesj is true,. • • . < A thorough canvass oi the House dovclopcs the; fact that the Impeachment .Resolution will pass; by more than a two-thirds majority, if not oy a; strictly party vote.

Car-; penter, of Milwaukee, VVis., who has acted as his legal adviser in all the trouble of the past few days. Mr. Carpenter is also Mr. Stanton’s repre- ■ scnttttive in the Thomas caso. It la understood that the President will be represented by Attorney- General Stanbexy; but of this I am not <inlte certain. ,! Elkvkn o’clock Despatches from all sections ' of the country, North and South, are constantly : arriving, directed to members of Congress and to j. Secretary Stanton, beseeching them to hold their ground firrnlv against the encroachments of the President, and assuring them of - the hearty sup port of the loyal, peopie.of the United States. Sec retary Btanton still remains at the War Office, and has received as visitors to-day and to-night, ' more than two- thirds of. the members of Congress now in the ci y, all of whom have assured him of their desire that he should standfast at Ids post, and of their determination to support him at all: hazards. , ,• General Thomas says to-night that he will make a requisition for money on the Treasury Department, and thinks that it will ; be honored. He hopes thereby to - develop something which "will definitely settle his status. He says,that he will proceed to act as Secretary of War uii interim, whether Mr. Stanton vacates hla office or not, as far as he can do so. without having actual pos session of the Secretary's desk. _ (Special Despatch’to thalnqnlrer.i Three • gentlemen, of whom ; your correspon dent wa& one, paid a visit, this morning, at ton o’clock, to Major-General Lorenzo; Thomas, the ad interim, for the purpose of obtaining his views upon the situation, and gath ering some ideas as to the course he proposes to follow. :We found him rn. dithab'Me, but he at once donned his uniform, and pre sented himself to us, and intimated his readiness to answer any question that might be pro pounded. " .> , .... Without unnecessary preface we launched into interrogatory, and found him quite ns , eager to talk as weVere to listen. General Thomas is a white-haired old personage, bom at New Castle, in the Stateipf Delaware, and has, been forty-live years in thejunited States service. He was re lieved of his (duties os Adjutant-General daring the war, being considered old and incompetent, and assigned to the organizing of colored troops in the Mississippi Valley. Mr. Johnson seems to have found General Thomas meat for his eating, and to have required him to help him out of his difficulty with Mr. Stanton. The Adjutant-General appears to have consid ered-Mr. Stanton as ill-disposed towards him,and to have encouraged in Mr. Johnson the idea that be (Thomas') would he a docile Secretary of War. He said to vonr correspondent that he had con sidered the’Tenure of-Office - bill, and concluded that he had a right to accept the appointment of Secretory of War, thus constituting himself the Supreme Court. : As to his personal peril, he alleged that his family had been greatly disturbed, but that lie was tranquil. The first interrogatory was, naturally, as to what ho intended to do to-morrow morning, when business opened, the situation on Saturday night leaving him a mere nominal Secretary, w^jjjoiit gower or prestige, forces, funds or prerogatives. le replied that having been appointed and being tk iure Secretary, he intended to present himßoil at the War Office, again demand possession, and exercise the functions of tho office. “Bat,” we remarked, ‘‘supposing that you should find an armed sentry at the door, and he should present Mb bayonet. to bar your admis sion, what would you do then?” “Ah, sir,” returned he, “I am.tooolda.man to think of attempting to force a sentry placed on guard by his superior-officer. 1 should not force ffio sentry.” '‘Then,” we continued, “suppose you should find no sentry to bar your ent uhee, but Secretary Stanton should refuse to admitjjiou to the office to exercise yonr anthority as Socre tary ad interim?" ”In that case," said he,“l shautd ; again uso no force, for I am too much of a gon i Soman to make an issue of physical ■ force with : Mr. Stanton.’?: ; Question by your correspondent: TbomsSi you have better' facilities throughyour old office of Adjutant to reach the officers! of'the army and regiments than any one else. .

I can appreciate the sentiment of the gentleman, from New York (Mr. Brooks) when he says thuqnestlon before us fs filled with solemnity,' bat when: he, with his iisnal eloquence, attempts to nse gasconade to drive members of the House from a conscientious discharge of duty, 3 say to my friend that he has mistaken his calling. Sir, no more important dnty can devolve upon this House of Representative# than that of. considering the question whether articles of impeachment shall bo preferred agblhstthe Chief Magistrate of tlie nation. For lopg months, yeajor years, I havo resisted, with all my personal Influence, the approach to the crisis Which fssow'before us., , , , The President has'done ) many, very .many censur able things, bnt I could not in my conscience say that the President shpnjd be hilden to answer on the charge of the commission'of high Crimes and mis demeanors until something could be made tangible whereby he had brought himself in conflict with the lawe of the nation. It has seemed to ms for weeks that that high officer waa courting the very hoar and the very occasion which is -now upon us, and the con sequences which wilt be noon him.

It,is’ true that the right of suspension was given the Executive during the recess of the Senate, hut that right of sus pension ceased so soap as the Senate, convened! • and now, not oniytufsceof 1 the decision of the Senate, saying that the suspension of the Secretary of War, made during the recess, was without- good cause, hut in the-faceiofthe penalties pftheactof MafehllSßT. entitled “Anatt regulating the tenure of certain civil officers," the President yesterday sent to the Senate a message dcctarifig toterms that he had removed Ed win 1L Stanton, Secretary of War. i The sixth section of that act declares that every re moval, appointment,' and employment made, bad or exercised contrary to its provisions, shall be deemed - and tbeySre-deelifredtood high misdemeanors, on' conviction of whiph the offender may be fined, not ' exceeding -elv,uoo, or be inratisoßsto not exceeding five years, or may suffer botbflne analmpriflonment,. in toe discretion of the court. ■ ,Mr. Woodward, ot Pennsylvania,Testted to aak a question, but Mr. Spading declined tp yield, and con tinued bis argument,*' saying NoW; sir, lf there be any efficacy in the enactments of Congress, we are not called npon to ascertain through a committee wheth er this act of the President be a high crime and mis demeanor, because Congress has already, in the , fact of this ' enactment, , declared, . it to bo shrih Shdthfi ft&ident, aa if to inf dSSbita tp ge actlen of Congress; baathroWh down* the glove. e has assumed the boldness to say to the Senate: “NotwUhEtandlngyonrXaaaaas to aieicOntraiy, that I pad not the right to suspend the Secretary or War, -laesnme theeonstitutlonal right to turn that officer, from his position .entirely, and • I do it; I ,your taw; mid your arikra to -the contrary ' dotw lth etimdfng.’’ lam brought to the conclusion that so topg aa we submit to these insolent assaults upon Con gress and all Us doings we never- can have peace) and I am Btofghf to the conviction that we must alls with Unanimity vote for the resolution this day intro educed.

Mr. Bingham saidhe wss not able to answer the question further than to express his own wish and hope that the House would deliberate fully On the question.

Look this day on the consideration of this great question, and the match* leas name of Washington, as does the gentleman .from New York; and I ask him (Mr. Brooke), in the ■considerat'on of the matter, to ponder upon those , deathless words of the Father of his Country when ever be declared "that the Constitution, which at any : time exists until changed by the act of the whole people, is sacred and obligatory upon all.” Upon oil, . sir, fromtho President to the humblest citizen within the limits of this Bennbllc, upon every human being Standing,within the junediction of the Republic. \Vashington but echoed the words which himself and Disassociates had embedded In the text of the Con uance. thereof, shall be the supreme law of the .. . - ■The Issue involved Is not, as the gentleman from Hew York said, the question of an office, hat whether thdsupremacy of the Constitution shall be maintained .by,the pgbplO bf thq Hepubllc. ~ Tho President of the ' Umted<Statoahas assumed to set himself abovp the ' jnsjesty of tho law; he has assumed to defy the law" .he haa assumed to challenge the representativeeOf jibs people to sit in judgment of hla malfeasance In, fimnj man who lisa considered and observed my conduct touching this,question, whleh has so jong Iflgitated this House and this country, must have dls , covered,.that il have heSdmyselfbsek, and have en- - makingjmyun -neqessary iasue-hetwsen the Preaidentandthe repre-: •Sentatlvee of the peopre touchipgithn ,manner Ht. 1 Which he has discharged the duties of his meat office....

There was evidence enough to satisfy him that the President of the United States tvae so bent on his own destruction, or on the destruction of the Republic, that he was capable of running to any extreme of mad ness. He proposed to curb him, not in the spirit of a par tisan, but in the spirit of S representative of the peo ple, acting under the obligation of his oath. No one wonld rejoice more than himself tp know that if, when the case ahonld. haver been-presented to the Senate as a high court of impeachment) it shonld be comc clear to the satisfaction of that body that tbe President had only erred In judgment, and had not intended to offend the Constitution, to defy the Senate, or to set aside tbe supremacy of the laws. ; He would rejoice at his a-quittal, not only for his own sake, bnt (or the sake of the Constitution and of tbe country. - But in the light of what the President had already andrput on record, lie (Hr. Bingbam) wte fofced to the conclusion that he meant nothingfelse than? to defy the power of Congress, and say to Congress, “What laws you have passed, or whatever taws you may pass,' I will disregard them whenever, in my jadgment, I - deem them not in sccordance witb Or in pursuance of tbe Congtitation of the. United States, and.let yoa do vourworst” That was the .President’s,position, and .he having taken if: he (Mr. Bingham) proposed to have hba put OP,tTi*l}r -.:- s l*- - " Be continued: i The gentleman (Hr. Brooks) talks about liberty. Liberty uas dear to me andmlne as it can be to the gentleman or -to bis. I stsnd here to day for that liberty, which is regulated by law; that liberty which- belongs alike to ns allf which Is not the exclusive prerogative of those who hold high official stations. That lawless liberty, thc llberty which the kite shows to tbe dove, Which the Volf shows to the lamb, 3 will have none of it; the people of the United States will have none of It. Tbey will insist;on.it that men shall enjoy liberty in this country. In obe-r dience to taw and in subjection to taw. Referring to Mr. Brooks’- -Intimations. about the Democratic party taking the part of the President, he reminded that gentleman and the House that that party had not very long ago attempted to set itself above taw, and tdrjte in rebellion against the govern ment; bnt that its rebellion had been crashed by tbe cannon He desired tohave the- question discussed fully and fairly,,and should be sted .to bear whatevor gentlemen had to say against the right!uiness of those. proceedings in extennation of ’ the President’s con duct; but he wanted tobetmno more warcings.of the. uprising of tbe Democratid pariy, and no moreproda mations as to that party being a majority of the peo ple of the country. \ i hr ,- wmNßWonaws speech; ' i Mr. FAKNawor.Tli, of lUinoia, said’ that they had* been told by tbe gentleman from New York (Mr. Brooks) that If the President should bo tried arni con-, victcd, be and the Democratic party would not stand: it 7 he gentleman, in a dramatic and sensational manner, also told the House that bo never would stand it. Hearing these things, he (HfrfFsnpswarth)thought they were carried back years Ago, when be' listened to similar threats on this noor just (preceding the rebel lion, The galleries were at that time filled, but by a. class of pqople diffenait frrim tbet which now occu pied them, and who applauded to tbe echo the threats and menaces then expressed. He would tell the gentleman, that when -- tbe - President ehottjd, be ; impeached;; int t tbb too& f (jointed; oat' by tho, Constitution, for high crimes and misdemeanors in - Office, were it not profane, he wonid call God to wit tiest that tbe. gentiemsn must stand it. When the - Democrats and ; secessionists fold ns that if we raised an arnjy to cdnouCf.the rebellion they wonld not stand 1 . It, v.e told them thej should stand it ; andhe would say to the gentleman; when.' the same party la arrayed against the. Union, that only , a hajf . mlhfon ot men : were slain in the war, bat a million of those who took partin the contest still live, and;-when the necessity demands, they will come as the leaves come when the tcin pest prevails, or as thick as antomh leaves, to maintain the.supremacy of the taw. The gentleman had told them that the army was made up for the greater part of Democrats. So it was: but when the rebellion broke Oat they left it and. went with the disnnlonists. By this the army was purified. It might be that since the close of the re-, rx-llion the army had been recruited from disloyal' rrifh. but this made no difference. The friends of the Union will cleanSe the army again. He, had heard enough of these threats of the Democratic party ten years ago. It was the-smne old party which they had met in the field and at the polta and vanquished. They w ere met here to-day, and they wonld he again de feated. What was In this question i A great deal. He trusted that he came to its discussion in a jproper spirit- It was not a new qneation whether Andrew Johnson should be removed from office) There were other and greater interests involved. The question was, whether the Union, spirit to'ten States shonld be crushed ont and the rebels again have the supremacy? Whether the government should be maintained and tlie trophies richly earned daring four years of bloody war thall be rested from the hands of a libcrtv-loving people, or kept and maintained; He cared little for Andrew Johnson; tor month? past ho never had a doubt IP at the man wonld be impeached. He had believed that the evil in the man would come ont, and step by. step develop itself, until he capped the climax by' violating the supreme taw of the land—the Constitu tion of the United States. In the Cotrespondehce with General Grant the Presi dent said his action with reference to the suspension of Mr. Stanton was not under the tenure-of-office bill, bnt under the Constitution and outside of S that taw, 1 and that be Was only exercising hia constitutional right. What did the President say now? Was he acting under the tennre-of-office bill |or the Constitu tion? Mr. Farnsworth then read from the Constitution as to the power, ofithn President to appoint to office, by <u.d witli the advice and consent of the Senate. Mr. Baiineb, with the consent of Mr. Farnsworth, read from another part of the Constitution, namely, ■•the President shall be Commander-in-chief of the army and navy. ” Mr. Fabsswobth—l would inquire whether the Secretary of Wards any part of the army or not» Mr. BabkES—l contend that the Secretary of War Is a part of the army of the United States. . . Mr, Farssw obth—The Secretary'of War is a plvil ! officer.. Such a thing as the removal of a Cabinet offi cer during the session of Congress was never before done by a President President' Jackson .ve-r. moved his Secretary of the.Treasnry, but this was dur ing the recess of Congress, and at that time the Whig party, of which the gentleman from New York was not only a zealous but an excellent member, cried out in protest aSSihsC Jackson tor removing -d Cabinet officer during'the Vacation.

Mr. FABNSWOBTH, dt Hlinoto, expressed hla belief that the Senate had .patriotism and firmness enough, to convict Andrew Johnson, and to remove him from, the office which he had so long disgraced. . The nation bad been too long disgraced by this accidental President, by this man whO nad been jnade President by tha asMEsin’splstol.

' Mr. Bakeb, of Illinois, next addressed the House in support at the resolution of lmpeachmentT iHe thought the time had, come for it' tie believed that tbe President had plainly, direttly. and conadousiy violated an important act of Congress, and With the purpose of setting it at, naught The President’a former conrse had.tacked biff one elcmeutof lm peachmcnt and that: was the element qf. definiteness. At this point,' imadn motion of Hr. Fabnswobth, ladies were admitted to take' back seatsln the hall and cloak rooms. Mr. Bakeb continued: That element .was. now supplied, and therefore the impeachment should no longer be delayed. He claimed that the attempt to remove Secretary Stanton and to pat General Thomas in Mb place, without the consent of the Senate, was a ■ plain, litera', and positive violation of (the iteniire-of dffice law. if the President' could set aside that statute he could set aside any other statute, and thus assume general dispensing power over the laws of the Republic— such a power as a monarch of the middle ages might have assumed. It was plain to him (Ur. Baker! that the wellbeing of the Bepnblic made it the dnty of the representatives ot the people to , arraign the President for bito'crimes and misaemeanore. As to the President’s past offending* they were too vagne, and general, and indefinite to warrant impeachment, hut they added immensely to his responsibility in ■connection with-htavlolation of the tennre-of-ofiifce bill. He hadnd doubt in his mind that the tenth -amendment to the' Constitution' had been' defeated by the ir terference and influence of the Executive.,. . He believed thereto twas nojv: compl.eteifor.ipre-. sentmrnt, ana he earnestly hoped that every Bcpub lican member would vote for impeachment. The country had had quite enough of violence, quite enough of wax; and those who intimated ah abpdal to - annß to reMsf the taW ; should 'receive thb- vrithering indignation of the people. He longed for a return of good feeling, based upon the great principle of liberty and humanity, throughout the entire Republic., MR. PHELI'S’ SPEECH Mr. Phelps, ofMaryland,. addressed the House in opposition to the resolution of- Impeachment He said that the movement had been foreshadowed, if not actually commenced,; doling the administration .of Mr. Lincoln. Beferring'to the President’s attion on the Winter Davis bill, when hewas held np to the ’people as guilty of monstrous usurpation, and as hav- j lbg rendered himself amenable to jiapeaiiKment. .<, ' fie believed that if Abraham* Lincoln bad lived 1 and prosecuted the line of policy then laid down by hint this movement would have been directed against him, and not against Andrew Johnson. ’ There' was no charge of official mlßcbndnct agafnst'the President. - Nothing bnt a difference o(op(nlqnbetvreen.h,im*n4, Congress as to tnecohStltuuonalfty of the tenuro : of- i office law.

Yet that wastheonlyground claimed for the resolution of impeachment The President has theundoubted right to do as he has done, to removo the Secretary of war, and com municate that fact to the Senate, merely appointing General,Thomas as Secretary ad interim. ’ That right was clem, according to the writings of Kadißan,Chan cellor Kent, and Chief Justice Story, and an attempt to set.that right aside was unconstitutional, nulland void, and it waa the President's duty to have the, question tested judicially. . He claimodthat even the tenure-of-office bill itself did -not cover the Oaee of Secretary Stanton, for it only applied to the Cabinet officers appointed by Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Stanton was pot one of them. - ; - Senator Sherman, of the committee on conference on that bill; had taken that ground, and argued that thelaw, would apply either to the ( Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, or the Secretary of State. Surely, therefore, under these circumstances, the President was justified ip belie vingthat he had a right to remove cither of those officers.. The President was guilty of no illegal act The right of removal Was a legal right and even if the tenure-of-offlee law Applied to Mr. Stanton, the President had complied with the law by oommnnlcattag to the Senate the fact of the • removal of Secretary Stanton. For this aaserUen of a certain legal’ right the President was to be hurled from his place. And tfcegentierasri spoke under such circumstances of standing by the Constitution in this attempt to remove the President > HR. LOOAH’6 BPESCIL Mr. tooas, of Illinois, spoke in support of the res olution. He. did not understand the qnegtlonaa lt was understood by some who had discussed it. It was not: material whether the President was a Democrat ora BgpitbHcan; whether it was the third time or the firettlme that be had been presented forimpeachment; whether he had committed other crimes or not; the question was, had he violated a penal statute of the . United States and whether in that case he was amena ble to impeachment. He quoted the language of the tenure-of-office acuto Show that without theconsent of the Senatp thePrealdent could notappoint to office or remove from office. . , - ■The case was. therefore, be argued, a very plain and simple one. If : the President gaye a commission to such an officer without the consent of the Senate; he was gatlty.iaccordlng to the law, of a high crime and misdemeanor, and was, therefore, jiable to lnmeach- - It couid not be claimed that the President Was ignorantof the law, for it waspresumed, no matter bow violent thd ptesumption was on the part of the President.that |every man knew the law, and having violated it he subjected himself to the pcnalties pro vlded'm It Mr. Johnson was guilty of something. .Of what;, of indiscretion—of a little political trick? No! but of a plain, palpable, Intentional .violation of, the law. 1 ' " ■ The President stood before the conntry to-day the violator of public law, and it was the dnty of the House to decide whether he waa; gniltyi i and lfso, What course should be taken to punish hlm-.-There. liad not been a reconstruction law passed by Congress’ which Andrew Johnson .had not laid rnthlaatt hands upon and obstructed. iSverßincnthe apostAcy of that, man, two yearaiago; he,had in every possible way Ob-- ’ Btrncted the execution of the laws-, "He hud not only insulted the tation by htg conduct and disgraced his high office,ibuthohad draggcd ln the slimo and filth of demagogiemthe Presidential robes of office: ’ Mr. PnJXTS, of Mafylnid, inquired whether’ im peachment of the' President would not clinch the 1 doctrine o£.negro_Bnffrage,onthe country, in spite of the will of the people.

While that' gentleman bad been giving the House. warning, be would give him (Mr.- Brooks) warning that the people woud not sustain Andrew Johnson: If he had nobody but Democrats to sustain! - him,he did not, think they wanted any more fighting. [Laughter.! , : . How main men could be get to stand b; thfe side .of Andrew Johnson; that man would not standby them a week. He believed .that within one week after An drew Johnson was burled from power the people would be found joyous and happy, because a man would then take the Presidential chair who would.eee that the laws were executed. Through the manage ment of the Secretary of tjieTreasurv and his friends, gold might go upone or two per cent, in Wall street, but as soon as Andrew Johnson was impeached gold would go down twice as fast.. ' ; JIB. noPKAN’s SPKUCH. ■ Mr. Holhak, of Indiana, spoke oil the opposi tion side of the question . He thought it too manifest that Congress sought to usurp the powers vested by the Constitution in other departments of the govern ment. He did not propose to make a Bpecch now, but be had a epcecn before him, a speech coming from the past, a speech that' neededho revision, and - conld not be interrupted, and ho would ask to have it read pn this occasion. He theneentnp to the Clerk’s desk, and . had read • by the Clerk, Washington’s Farewell Address. . ?
