MY 113 MM Is wrrEr
BY GEORGE D. PRE: 4 ;IIOE. .1
When the breeze"with a whispet:
Steals soft through the grove'.
A sweet earnest lisper
Of music and love
When its gentle caressings •
- Away charm each sigh,
And the still dews, like blessinO,
Descend from the sky,
Wlien 'a deep spell is lying j
On-hill, vale, and lea, . •
My warm - heagt is flying,
Sweet spirit, to thee:
-When 'stars like ski-blossoins
Above - seem to blow, -
And waves like young bosoms
Are swellingbelow, -
When the voice of the river .
Floats mournfully past,
And the forest's low shiver ! I • '.`
I -
Is borne op the illas4
When wild tones are swelling I.
_ From earth, air and sea,
My warm heart is dwelling,
Siveet spirit, with thee. "
When the night clouds are riding
Mice ghosts, on:the gale,
And the young moan is gliding .
Sweet, lonely and pale,,
..WEule the ocean is sobbing
In ceaseleis =rest, -
And its great heart is throbbing ' '.
And wild in its breast, .
When the
-strong wind is Wrestling
With billow and tree,
My warm heart - is nestling,
Sweet spirit, with thee.

thetiMatitution. . This . is conspicuously
nialiifei*l in regard to impeachments..
Thialonse of Itepresentatiires possesses
"the:Sole power 'of .impiinehment;" the -
Senate "the sole power to tryall impeach
ments ;" and theimpcachable.offences: are
otressoN bribery, or other- high crimes.or
misdemeanors. The practice_ of the
119pse frOm-the earliest - tithes had been
in 4cordance.with its own dignity,_ the'
rights of the' accused and' the deinands
of Justice. At the - Cominencement of each
judicial ifivestigation Which Might lead to
an impeachthent, specifip charges wer,e al
ways preferred, the ,accused had'an °ppm':
tunity of cross-exaMining the witnesses;
and he.was placed in fillpossession of the.
precise' nature of the otrence which he had
to meet. An impartial and elevated stand
ing committee was,cliSrg4 with this in
vestigation, upon which, no member in
spired with the ancient ,sense of honor and
justice would have served, had he ever
expressed an opinion against the accused.
Until the preient occasion. it was never
deemed proper to . transform the • accuser
into the judge, aud, to confer upon him the
selection of his own committee.
.
• The charges, made against rne, iii vague
and. general terms,. were of se
and atrocious character that I did . .not en,
tert sin a'moment's ,apprehension for the
result. They were abhorrent to every
principleinStilled into Me from inY.
• and every practice of my life • ,and I did
not believe it possible that die man exist
/I who : would so basely • perjure, himself
•as to swear to - the truth.. of any such accu-.
sations. In this conviction, lam inform
ed, I have not been Mistaken,. • .
In my former protest; therefore, I truly
and
.emphatically- deelaredf,that it was
made for no realon - peisOnal to:myself; hut
becuse theproCeedingtipf the House were
in violation-of the rightsorthe coordinate
executive branch of the Government, sub
versive of its constitutional independence,
and, if unresisted,. would establish a prece
dent dangerous and embarrassing to all
my successors. N • otwitlistanding all this,
if the Committee had not transcended
_the
authority conferred upcit it by the resole-
tion of the House of:
Representatives,
broad and general as flit was, I should'
have remained silent uPOn this subject.—
What I now charge js, that they have act
ed, as, though they possessed unlimited
power and without any Warrant whatever
in the:resolution under which they • *re,
appointed ; having pursued a . course not
merely at war with the. constitutional.)
rights of the exeCutive ; • but. tending ti:S ;
degrade the Presidential office itself to
such a degree - as' to render itanworthy of
the_acceptance-of any -man ef honor or
principle. •
- . •
- The. resolution of the House, sofar as it
is accusatory of the President,, is - confined
to' an inquiry whether he
. had used cor-1
rapt or improper men !td . influence the'
action of Congress, or any of its commit
tees, on - legislative measures pending be-.
fore them: - Nothing mare,nothing less. l l
I have not learned thron thenev.-spa
pe.rs, or in any other made, that the cow- '
mittee have toucheditheother accusatory
branch. of the 'resolution, charging, dip,
Preditkent kviolation of duty in fail
.ing to: execute some law 'or- laws. - This
branch of the resolution, is., therefore; out)
of the question... By what authority, then '
hate the committee undertaken to hives
tigate'lbe course 'of the President in re;
gard•to the Convention which frTned the I
Leconlpton Constitution?' By' what ati
thority have they,
.undertaken to pry into
our foreign relations for the ' purpose of,
-assailing him on accounf ; of the- Instruc
tions even by- the Secretary of State- to
