ADVERTISING AGENTS, EX CHANGES, and all others interested, will j please note the CHANGE of TITLE, of this 1 ,aper, from TIIE NORTH BRANCH DEM j OCR AT to WYOMING DEMOCRAT. The President's Message. The President sent in his annual Mes sage to Congress, yesterday. Through the enterprise of the X Y. World, which put it iu type some hours before it was read, we were enabled last evening, to 1 1 trlance at its contents. lie reasserts his determination to stand by the Constitution, and appeals to Con- j gress to aid him in restoring the Union under it. In reference to the radical scheme of setting aside or snspending the | powers of the Executive Department of the Government, —in the impeachment programme—the President, with Jack sonian firmness, declares that he will "take the responsibilities and save the life of the nation." The Ash leys, Bcutwells, Butlers and Conovers of Congress must begin to conclude that they have caught, in him, a most unmanageable kind of a Tartar. The i message discusses, at length the military reconstruction, and negro equality schemes of Congress, and exposes to the world all their pernicious and unconstitutional ten dencies. Next week, we shall give our readers,at ' least a full synopsis of this important doc- ' ument, which, we are glad to assure them has in it, the ring of the pure metal, and which,with us, goes a great way in atoning for what has, heretofore, seemed amiss in the President. Impeachment. A majority of the Committee of the Rump Congress, as stated by us last week, have cooked up articles of impeachment against President Johnson for " high crimes and misdemeanors." The founda tion upon which their charges are based is j of the mo=t flimsy and unsubstantial char acter, and is so completely demolished by ! the Minority Report of two dissenting Re publicans of that Committee, that it is very doubtful whether even the Rump will pur sue the matter further Ly adopting the rc-; port of the Majority. To show the char acter of the evidence upon which the char ges are made, and the utter hollowness of this whole transaction, we give below an abstract of the minority report made by , Wilson and Woodbridge, whose " loyalty," I and fidelity to their party, has never been ; doubted. What they say, therefore, should be taken most strongly against the radi ' cals, as men are not supposed to make un- I true confessions against themselves and their party friends. This is, therefore, ! first rate Republican evidence against the ladical revolutionists. We hope Repub licans, into whose hands it falls, will read I it:— REPUBLICAN MINORITY REPORT. "On the 3d day of June, 18G7, it was declared by a solemn vote in the Commit tee that, from the testimony then before them, it did not appear that the President of the United States was guilty of such high crimes and misdemeanors as called for an exercise of the impeaching power of this House. The vote stood yeas 5, nays 4. On the 21st inst. this action of the Committee was reversed, and a vote of 5 to 4 declared in favor of recommending to the House an impeachment of the Presi dent. Forty-eight hours have not yet elapsed since we were informed of the character of the report which represents this changed attitude of the Committee. The recentness of this event compels a general treatment of some features of the case as* it is presented by the majority, which otherwise would have been treated more in detail. The report of the inajori tv resolves all presumptions against the President,closes the door against all doubts, atlirms facts established by the testimony, in support of which there is not a particle ; of evidence before us which would be rc ' ceived by any court in the land. We dis -1 sent from all of this, and from the temper j and spirit of the report. The cool and un ' biacd judgment of the future, when the 1 excitement in the midst of which we live ! shall have passed away, will not fail to j discover that the political bitterness of the I present time has in no considerable degree ' given tone to the document which we de cline to approve. Dissenting as wc do ! from the report of the Committee, both as to the law of the case and the conclusions ! drawn from the facts developed by the ! testimony, a due regard for the body which | imposed on us the high and transcenJantly : important duty involved in an investiga ; tion of the charges preferred against the i President, compels us to present at length ' onr views of the subject which has bee.n ' committed to us by a most solemn vote of the House of Representatives. In ap ( proaching this duty we feel that tho spirit , of the partisan should be laid aside, and iuterests of the Republic, as tbey 1 are measured by its constitution and laws, aloße shall guide us ; and we most deeply regret that in this regard we cannot ap ' prove the report of the majority of the Committee. While we would not charge : them with % dssign to act the part of par-: tisaoa in this grave proceeding, we never- : theless feel pained by the tone, temper, and 1 spirit of their report. But regrets will not I answer the demands of the present grave < and commanding occasion, and we thero i fore respond to them by presenting to the i 1 House the results of a careful, deliberate, and as wc hope, a conscientious inveatiga tion of the case before ns. Messrs. Wilson and WoodbriJge then j proceeded to discuss the constitutional question, with regard to the impeachment, i etc., showing by reference to legal author- i ikies that an impeachment cannot be sup ported by any- ac'. which falls short of an indictable crime, or misdemeanor. Eng lish precedents are referred to at length and copious extracts are made from the testimony of the Committee in order to re-' ; fute the reasoning., and conclusion of the majority. They conclude as follows : " A great deal of the matter contained in the volume of testimony reported to the House is of no value whatever. Much of it is mere hearsay, opinions of witnesses, i and no little amount of it is utterly irrele- i vant to the case. Comparatively a small amount of it could be used on a trial of I this case before the Sedate. All of the j testimony relating to the failure to try and ' admission to bail of Jefferson Davis, the assassination of President Lincoln, the dia ry of J. Wilkes Booth, his place of burial, i the practice of pardon brokerage, the al-1 leged correspondence of the President with : Jefferson Davis, may be interesting to a reader, but is not of the slightest import ance so far as a determination of this case < lis concerned. Still, much of the irrelevant matter has been interwoven into the ma jority report, and has served to heighten its color and to deepen its tone. Strike out the stage effect of this irrelevant mat ter, and the prominence given to the Tu dors, the Stuarts, and the Michael Burns, and much of the play will disappear; set- j tie down upon the real evidence in the ; case, that which will establish in view of ; the attending circumstances a substantial crime by making plain the elements which constitute it, and the case, in many re spects drops into a political contest. In approaching a conclusion, wc do not fail to recognize the standpoints from which this case can he reviewed—the legal and J the political. Viewing it frcrp the latter, ' the case is a success. The President has ; ! disappointed the liopcs and expectalion of those who placed him in power: he has betrayed their confidence and joined hands with their enemies ; he has proved false to the express and implied condition which J underlie his elevation to power, and in our : view of the case deserves the censure and condemnation of every well disposed citi zen of the Republic. While we acquit him of impeachable crimes we pronounce him gnilty of many wrongs, Ilis contest with Congress has delayed reconstruction arid inflicted vast injury upon the people of the rebel States. lie Las been blind to the necessities of the times and to the de mands of a progressive civilization, envel oped in the darkness of the past, and seems not to have detected the dawning bright ness of the future. Incapable of appre i ciating the grand changes which the past six years have wrought, he seeks to meas ure the great events which surround him by the narrow rules which adjusted pub i lie affairs before the rebellion, and its legit imate consequences destroyed them and ; established others. Judge him politically, condemn him ; but the da}' of political im peachment would be a sad one for the country. Political unfitness and incapaei | ty must be tried at the ballot box, not in | th# high court of impeachment, A con ' trary rule might leave to Congress but lit tle time lor other business than the trial of impeachment. But we arc not now dealsng with political offences. Crimes and misnemeanors are now demanding i our attention. Do these within the mean , ' ing of the Constitution appear ? Rest the case upon political offenses and we are prepared to pronounce against the Presi ' dent for such offences are numerous and grave. If Mexican experience is desired we need have no difficulty, for there almost every election is productive of a revolution. If the people of this republic desire such a result we have not yet been able to discern ' it, nor would we favor it if its presence were manifest; while we condemn and censure the political conduct of the Presi- J dent and judge him unwise in the use of j. 1 his discretionary power*, and appeal to the i people of the Republic to sustain ns, we J' still affirm that the conclusion at which we ! have arrived is conect. We, therefore declare that the case before us presented by the testsmony, and measured by the law, does not disclose sucbhigh crimes and j misdemeanors within the meaning of the * Constitution as require "the interposition ' of the constitutional power of this House'" i and recommend the adoption of the fol lowing resolution : Resolved, That the Commitlcc on the ' Judiciary be discharged from the further 1 consideration of the proposed impeach ment of the President of the United States, ' and that the subject be laid upon the ta -1 blc. (Signed,) JAMF.S F. WILSON, FREDERICK E. WOODBRIDGE. Alabama. The reconstruction Convention has pass ed an ordinance imposing additional tax of ten per cent, on taxes otherwise assessed on the taxable property in this State, for the purpose of paying the expenses of the Convention, to be assessed and collected during the tax year of 1808, The Bill of Bights ol the Constitution provides for political and social equality, without distinction of race, color, or pre vious condition. The franchise article provides that those who shall be convicted of treason shall not be allowed to exercise the right of suffrage. It is believed that all persons who come within the $20,000 clause of President Johnson's amnesty proclamation, and against whom proceedings were instituted iu the United States District Court, who, on being pardoned by the President, had to appear in court and enter the plea of par don and guilty, are disfranchised by the Constitution. If this is correct, 40,000 to 50,000 whites arc disfranchised at one blow in this State. At the evening session of the Conven tion, an amendment to tlie Bill of Rights was offered, that common carriers shall not i make any discrimination on account of color between persons traveling in public t conveyance. Which caused great excite • mpnt. Several black delegates delivered i inllamatory speeches, demanding entire so -1 cial equality, and the right to ride in sleep- 1 ing cars, See. Two whites fatored the ' amendment, Messrs. Grifiin and Keffer j making violent speeches, aud after a heat- I : ed and protracted debate, the subject was postponed until Monday next, Site, B. —All persons before registering 1 1 must take and subscribe the following oath : I, , de solemnly swear (or affirm) that I wjJJ support and maintain the Con stitution and laws of the United States, and the Constitution and laws of the State j lof Alabama; that lam not excluded from registering by any of the causes mentioned in section 2d of this Article; thai I will never countenance or aid in the secession i i of this State from the United States: that : 1 accept the civil and political equality of all men, and agree noi to attempt to de prive any person or persons, on account of race, ; color, or previous condition, of any politi cal or civil right, privilege or immunity. ! enjoyed by any other class of men ; and, furthermore, that I will not in any way in jure or countenance in others any attempt : to injure any persons on account of past or present support cf the Government of the I'nited States, or the principle of the polit ical and civil equality of a!! men, or of affil iation with any political party. Another section provides for a negro militia, governor's staff, etc. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, a I " loyal" paper says : The decision of the Alabama Convention J for the extreme policy of disfranchisement and proscription will confirm the general j opinion that the present experiment in re construction is a failure. The minority I report on the franchise, which was almost : unanimously rejected, provided for the dis- 1 franchisement of the citizens " who shall 1 have been convicted of treason, perjury, bribery forgery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors, which may be by law de- ■ clared to disqualify him," aud required of the voter oalv an oath to support and obey the Constitution of the United States and \ of the State of Alabama, and to defend the Union. The majority report disfranchises j not only cx-rebels, but all who will not | swear to approve and sustain ncgrc suf frage. This will exclude from the ballot and front office the entire white population ' of the State, with the exception of a few northern settlers—for not all these are fo negro suffrage—and the few radical white Alabamians. The proscription is more sweeping than anything heretof .ro cr else where proposed, for it not only make* past loyalty a condition of suffrage, but present support of a measure that has just been voted down in several leading Republican States of the North. And if Alabama made a Republican State for the present by such means, it will bo only to be more inveteratclv against us the moment power is rc>tore 1 (o the whites; for it surely will be restored to them ; the people will not support standing armies to keep a minority in power in any State, To say that this policy will not do and must be stopped is to state the case very mildly. Congress and the Republican party cannot allow it to proceed, without certain and deserved j ruin. It is in defiance of all the tecogniz- j cd principles of popular government and of the professed principles of the party, and its consequences can be nothing but per petual discord and rnin in the South. The division in the Alabama Convention on the suffrage question is significant of that j which must occur throughout the whole j country if this thing is allowed to grow and ripen. The northern soldiers who have settled in Alabama and the more intelli- | ge.nt of the white natives in the convention voted against the proscripttvc policy; the bureau officers, northern and southern rad ical politicians aud negroes voted for it. The constitution adopted by the Conven tion will of course be nominally adopted by the people ; for only the negroes will vote, the whites knowing their inability to defeat i it, and preferring to put the whole respon sibility on Congress. And upon Congress that resdonsibilitv will rest. If such a con stitution as the Radical Convention is now sure to make is imposed upon that State, Congress and the Republican party inu>t be responsible for the consequences. The course reconstruction takes in Alabama is .' an admonition upon the general subject.— j Shallow politicians chuckle over the idea that all is made secure for the presidential election, if the votes of the ten Southern States are given to the Republican candi ' date through a process which excludes the white population from a voice in that elec-- tion. Arc they quite sure of this, and will ! an ascendancy maintained by such means | last? The mere apprehension of such con ' sequences from the Congressional scheme ' of reconstruction has reduced majorities in ' the Republican States, what, then, will be the result when the apprehended conse quences arc more than realized.- And yet, with such clangers impending, men who assume to lead the Republican party at ' tempt to divert public attentiou by silly | talk about plots of the President to sub vert the Constitution and overthrow Con j gress. The attempt now to Africanize the South ; has turned the attention of the white men ' of this country to the result of similar expe -1 riments in other countries. In this connec , tion,the New York Herald, in the course of an article showing how the Radical theory of reconstruction is making a combination fof Hayti and Jamaica in the South,says : In Ilayti we have nothing but a war of I races since its discovery by Colifnibus, from I the negro Emperor, Jacques 1, in IBu4, to I the present ruler, Salnave, the Uaytien part ■ of the island has presented even a worse j condition than that which is presented in \ the long years of wholesale Spanish murd ers which made its horrors a proverb. llow rapidly the country marches to the prim itive barbarism, which is the delight ot the negro race, is best shown by the value of the exports just previous to ihe accession of Jacques 1, compared with those of to-day. | At that time they reached the large figure of i 27,818,000. to-day they are scarcely j $8,000,000. j But if Ilayti exhibits a sorry argument ■ for negro domination, what does Jamaica show? Since the island was given up to I negro rule, its march has been rapid from bad to worse, until to-day one of the finest i and formei ly one of the most productive of all the West India group lies but a wreck iin negro hands. All tlf has taken place in thirty-four years, notwithstanding the J efforts of the English government to pre ' vent it. And how of Liberia ? Large i sums of money, Christian aud missionary : efforts unlimited, have been used to little advantage. The negro there, forced into a hot-house grow th, and kept upon the plus ' side of civilization by a constant w.iite ef fort, is still far down in the scale. lie often runs eastward to his native barbarism, and is only kept inside the.bounds of the colony by large contributions to his welfare. e dismiss Liberia as a mammoth negro poor -1 house. But Liberia is nothing to the negro poor-; house we are establishing in the whole Southern half of the United States. We i go into this negro asylum business as we so into everything else in America. We set the whole Northern half of the nation to earning money to maintain the negro. We make huge appropriations for the benefit iof the negro. We take no time to legis late upon our ruined commerce, for we are occupying every moment for the negro. We approach a financial panic, but try to hide it by holding before it the negro. We reconstruct the South, not tor the common benefit of the white and b!ac<, rel ative to the whole nation, but entirely for the pegro. The Radicals go so far that— ; ride Bon. Wade —they say that we may have a war of caste, and even bound on the negro, Wc have gone negro mad; and the madness threatens to wind up by a war of I races which when it comes, will sweep the negro out of existence. The nation is not powerful enough, with all its vigor, to stand under the negro lead. Wc must shake it off or down we go to the level of Ilayti, San j Dommgo and Jamaica. The Rump CongTess. This illegal and oatrageous concern reas sembled in Washington on the 20:h ult., in accordance with the adjournment of Jul}' last. As usual upon the assembling, the Capitol was filled with visitors, who begin to ■ gather about ten o'clock, and before the hour of meeting, the galleries, halls and corridors of the building were densely crowded. The Hall of Representatives seemed to be an es pecial point of interest, and for nearly two hours a scene of nc little animation and ex- I citcinont prevailed. The result of the recent State elections was actively discussed on both sides of the House, the Radicals endeavoring to explain away the ficts and figures, and the Democrats c ngratula'ing each other over the happy change, and mutually prom ising to do better next time. Mr. Wasbburne, of I• who is regarded as the leader m the Grant movement, had quite a crowd of Ridi cal numbers around him, while Butler, of Mas-achuseit*. entertained Mr. Chase, ther in the area in front of the Speaker's chair. The desire to see Mr. Stevens did not appear so strong as heretofore, and that gentleman remained in his committee room uniil a few minutes before the House was called to order. On the Democratic side, the central, figure wa the tall form of ex-Chief Justice Wood ward, of Pennsylvania, who was sworn in I soon after the meeting of the House. Messrs, Boyer, Getz, Glossbrenntr, and Randall, of ; our State,were also in attendance, and among the prominent Democrats preseut from other Slates were Messrs. Brooks, of New York ; Eldridgc. of Wisconsin ; Marshall, of Illinois; and Margan, of Ohio. The ball was opened in the Ilonse by Mr Brooks, of New York, on the modern Radi cal delegation from Tennessee, and how Brownlow secured their election. The Re publicans were not prepared for this retalia lion on theui for their conduct in the case of the Kentucky members last session,and were ! forced to refer the credentials of one of the Tennesseeans (Butler) to the Election Com mittee, aud to keep him out of the House pending the investigation. This, of course, is 1 simply a sham, and he will no dmbt soon b.- admitted,notwithstanding the charges against him of alleged participation in the secession movement. The other members (including Stokes.) were adinit'ed. During the discus sion the floor and galleries were crowded,aud considerable interest mauilested by all pres eut. No business of importance was transacted during the very brief session of the Senate.— Mr. Sumner re-iotroduced his negro jury bill for the District of Columbia, which, it will be remembered, was passed last spring, but failed to receive the signature of the Presi dent. Forty-three Senators were present, and on motion, an adjournment took place until Monday, Monday arrived. The Rump reasembled. But little business was transacted, except that the Impeachmcmt Committee handed in their report of 1,300 pages, demanding the impeachment of the President for "high : crime* and misdemeanors." This announce ! ment was received with applause and hisses. I The negro galleries applauded lustily, while ' the white galleries hissed. The Speaker looked daggers at the white trash, but smil ed at the niggers. The report was postponed until Wednesday, the 4th of December, when ! it wiil come up for adoption in the House.— I Wo predict its failure. The President docs not recognize the Rump. Ilia message and the repcrts of the heads of Departments will not be transmitted ' | until after the commencement of the regular 1 Constitutional term —the first Mondav ol : December. The Rump will most likely or p Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, adjourn , ' over until this time, when the message and ! documents will be sent in.
