One month ago, General GILAXT em
bodied the true theory of the Federal
Constitution, and the fundamental duty
of patriotism. It was the great troth
which invigorated and sustained the

closing victories of 'B5. = Submission to

and the correlative duty of appeal to the
only constitoUonal arbitrament of the
judiciary,—these plain, primary oblige
lieu of each good citizen were never
more clearly conceived, or expressed
with more plain and direct simplicity,
than in those words of Gee. Graf. Had
the South accepted that truth 1861,
there would have it-en no sece ion, no
rehellion t ne war, and no necessity for
reconstruction. Had the Smith, last

able to wield through Artintaw Jonsson

Would ere this have 'regained all their

lag before the world the freest, the most
prosperous, the most powerful and the
most enduring republic of all time.
And, now, let us choir that we, the
loyal citizens of the Union, accept and
recognize in this simple truth the pledge
of our own obedience to', the written
law, the plainest and moil imperative
duty of the hone. Disregard that truth,
emulate the bad example of that bad
run whOm the "People are about to hurl
down from the high place he bunbused,

bered. Accept it, act upon it , each and
every citizen who loves his country, and
this male, which now seems so lull of

THE DUE CoUNSE or LAW
The Gres, Republic has lived for
eighty years. Front its feeble begin
nings, it has grown, year after year,
with& steady progress in popreation, In
territory, in wealth, and in all the mate
rial elements of sovereign greatness, mall
our generation finds it ranking as high
as the highest among the diet-rate powers
of Christendom. 'The Inherent elementa
of Its strength, its constitnUonal, vital
forma have sustained it triumphantly
through several foreign wars and ban
brought it safely ott of an intestine re
bellion, the last and severest trial of all,
with that vital force unimpaired, with its
physical vigor renewed sad Increased,
and with s final and absolute redemp
tion from the one vicunas TM formida
ble weakness of its birth, To-day; our
Republic stands, before the world, more
than ever able to defy foreign agaves
dons and to maintain not - only its Polit
ical independence, but all the rights and
the responsibilltlea of a sovereign Stitte.
All this we owe to the wisdom of our
fathers, to the simplicity and parity of
the popular institutions which they
founded, to. the efficient and skilfully
practical workings of the social and
municipal regulations which they ,stab.
tithed, to the patriotism and intelligence
which has ever taught our citizens to
respect the law, and to abide by the.
constituted authorities, and, more than
all, let us lay with reverent gratitude, to
the Divine blessing which, through all
seeming prosperity or adversity, Las
guided our nation to its deliverance from
the thraldom of -errorand injustice, and
blotted out forever the last trace of hu
man
slavery.
And now, at list, for the first time in
our history as a people, we are about to I
avail ourselves of that far-reaching wit-
dom of the lathers which provided for
the nation the nay to reach and punish
a delinquent Mitt llsgistute, whose
trial offeaces against the public weal
is to be commenced and prosecuted to
its e after the forms and in the mode
which they prescribed. The Republic'

fled that the President is utility of high
misdemeanors and, taking recourse to ' I

The law is clear. Re has boldly awl
flagrantly offended it. The penalties
prescribed by the law itself for any di*.

and puitite, so that no convicted often=

It will net be within the province of

We concur fully In the opinion ex
pressed by Republican journals that it
would! be inexpedient and unwise to
raise • qustion now as to the legal
tight of the President to continue in
the discharge of his Executive functions
during the pendency of the proceedings
for his impeachment. Thatsuch agues
don exists was manifest is the Intro
duction to Congress, Rome weeks since,
of a bill which proposed to suspand,l by
expilcdt enactment, the incumbent of Say
high Civil office while under such trial.
That sleeps quietly in a Committee
room, and whatever of expediency or
propriety its enactment heretofore might
have had, its passage at this juncture
is, for ObTitialll reasons, not wisely to be
thong/Ito!.
On all previous occasions of impeach.
ment[befere the Senate, cases some six
or scrl in number, it is known that in
each instance the alleged offender MX, in

In u i . but one of those cases, th at of
-13 re y, Senator from Tennessee, Im
peached in Il'7l forcompluity in a treas
onable intrigue with Great Britain, ins
the quesiion raised of suspension from
ofilos pending trial. In that cue the
Et:use demanded the segnestration of
the offender from his rest in the Senate
and the &cued wu granted by the Sen
ate is Its vote of the Mae day, ordering
Mr. j Mount' into the custody of its
MuSenger, from which he wu only re-,
leamd upon diing adequate securities for
Ids appearance at trial. Mid, on the
hest diky, the Senate expelled him abso
lute* from Ids seat, aa "having been
guilty of a high misdemeanor, entirely
inconsistent with his public trout and
duty as a Senator." It is to be &sure.

In the United States, thaimpeachnunt
of the President la without precedent.
Only once, in 1843, an attempt was
nude epithet President Tyler, but it
failed. There have, however, been see
end cure of the impeachment of other
civil effitxra. In 1797, William Blanca,
Senator from Tennessee, wari Impeach
ed for haying intrigued to transfer New
Odessa to Oreat Britain ; in 1803, John
Pickering, Jostles of the District Court
of the Dietrict of New Hampshire, wee
impeached ea four charges, one of which
alleged that be tees a man of loose ater
els and Intemperate habits; in 1805, the
impeachment of Samuel Cnoae as Aa
somata Justice of the Supreme Court 01.
:be United States, was the cause of
treat public excitement; In 1830, James
Peck, 'odes of the District Court
fur the District of Miasourl, was Im

of Tense, who was Impeached in 1857,
and of Judge Wes. 11. Humphrey' of

for complicity in tea Balaton. All
these oibres constitute precedents for the
impeachment of the President, which
will bo conducted to a similar mariner,
except that at the trial of the President,
the Chief Justifx of the Supreme Court'
of the Un.ted States must preside. The
main points In the procedure against the
President will, therefore, be as fol.
lows;
A. committee apnointed by the House
will sower before the bar of the Senate
and officially announce the resolution or
impeachment.. The President _the
Snows will appoint a Select Conimittee
to bear the report of the Committee of
the Rouse. A report will then be male

The Senate will take action, and its .11C•

the Rouse. The Speaker will appoint a
Board of Idanaacre to conduct the lin.
enactment; they will carry to the Sen
ate the articles of impeachment. The
action of the House will be read to the
Senate; which then appoints the time
when it will "resolve itself into a Court
of Impeachment." . Bich Senator takes
the oath that he will do impartial justice.
The Board of Managers of the House be%
leg Introduced to the bar of the Court,
formally present the articles of impeach

accused to aaswer the uncles of Mu,
peachment, fixing the day returnable,
which is served at least ten days before
the return thereof. The day of the
trial having arrived, the House,
resolving itself into Committee' of

retary of the Senate. Arrangements are
then made for the summoning of wit

article is read by the Secretary, and the
roll called, when each Senator answers
"Guilty" or Not Guilty," tero.thirds
biting required to declare the accused
guilty. The decision is given, and nom.

guilty, the President will from that mo.
