STOBMY MAEOH.
The stormy March is come at last.
With wind and cloud and changing sky ;
I hear the rushing of the blast,
" That through the snowy valley flies.
Ah ! passing few are those who speak,
Wild stormy month, in praise of thee !
Yet though thy winds are ioud and bleak,
Tbou art a welcome month to me.
For thou to Northern lands again.
The glad and glorious sun doth bring ;
And thou has joined the gentle train,
And wearest the gentle name of Spring
And in thy reign of blast and storm.
Smiles many a long bright sunny day
When the changed winas are soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the bloom of May.
Then sing aloud the gushing rills,
And the full springs from frost set free,
That brightly leaping down the hills
Are just set out to meet the sea.
The year's departing beauty hides,
Of wintry storms the sullen threat,
But in thy sternest frown abides
A look of kin&ly promise yet.
Thou bring'st the hope of those calm skies,
And that soft hue of many showers,
When the wide bloom on earth that lies,
Seems of a brighter world than ours.
IMPEACHMENT. '
Below we give several extracts from the
Tribune, on the causes that led to the im
peachment of President Johnnson, which,
we think, will give every reader a clear un
derstanding of the whole case :
All other questions sink before the present.
It would bedifficult to have our ourse clear
er. A law is passed, which defines it to be
the duty of the President to consult with
the Senate before removing a certain officer.
This may or may not be constitutional. It
is constitutional until the Supreme Court
decides otherwise. It is law until the Court
interposes and invalidates it. The Presi
dent's sworn duty is to execute it to obey it
to see that it is carefully and studiously
obeyed. -He may not like it But chief
magistrates have been compelled to execute
laws they did not prefer. He may think it
unconstitutional. That is of no more con
sequence than the opinion of any private citi
zen. His duty is not to execute laws which
he may think constitutional, but to EXECUTE
tub laws. If he had been clothed with
judicatory power, if the founders of the
Constitution had felt that it was wise to
jrivc the President any option in the mat
ter, they wuld have so expressed it and
declared that he might execute 41 laws only
when the Supreme Court decided their con
stitutionality. If the President has the
right to select his laws, and say "This act I
'will execute because it suits me, and the
' other I will not enforce because it strikes
"me to be unconstitutional," then Congress
and the Supreme Court might as well ad
journ without delay. For the right to do as
he pleases with any law, to assume to be its
sole arbiter and judge, may become a tyran
ny more absolute than that of the Emperor
of Russia. It is a comparatively small mat
ter now. Apparently, it effects only the
right of Mr. Stanton to hold the War Of
fice, and of the President to select his con
stiiutional advisers. This is not the ques
tion, but only the merest incident or it.
If the President has the right to remove
Stanton in defiance of law, he may remove
Mr. Chief-Justice Chase and Gen Grant,
and indeed the whole Senate. For thejaw
by which Mr. Stanton holds his place is as
much a law, as sacred and as binding, as
that by which Mr. Chase presides over the
Supreme Court, and Gen. Grant commands
the army. It he may with impunity order
Lorenzo Thomas to take possession of the
War Department a building which is not
the prope.-ty of Mr. Johnson, but of the A
niencan people he ruay also direct Mr.
L'oyle to open the next Supreme Court, and
Gen. Hancock to assume command of the
army. It may be said that there is a law
which provides the form in which Mr.
Stanton may be removed, and another law
which directs the manner for the removal
of Gen. Grant. To this we reply that there
is also a law which provides how Mr. Stan
ton may be removed, that one law is as bin
ding as the ether, and that if we permit the
President to violate one, he may with im
punity violate all. But, suppose the Presi
dent were to say, "I shall execute no law
"until the Supreme Court decides it to be
constitutional." The whole machinery of
the Government would be under the control
jt a body of men who sometimes take years
to reach a decision. He might as well say,
"I consider the tax law unconstitutional,
''and shall not collect the revenues, and, be
' ing a free-trader, I am opposed to tariffs.
'"So I suspend these laws until the Supreme
' Court decides against me." It would be
madness to make such an argument ; and
Jet Mr. Johnson has as much a right to ob
j'vt to the tariffs as to the Tenure-of-Office
law. The Constitution fortunately express
ly provides what relation the President holds
o the laws. He may object to a law, and
end his objections to the Senate. ' That ac
tion is enough to defeat it unless two-thirds
f the whole Congressoverrule him. Thisin
"itself is a great power. But it is express.im
Plied, written. When it is exhausted, he
lias no alternative but obedience. The Pres
i'lent claims, that he can in the first place
vo a law, and then not execute it until the
upreuie Court decides its constitutionality.
To concede this is to clothe Mr. Johnson
ith the perogatives of a tyrant. lie does
lot execute the laws, but only such as suit
his fancy. Granting this right, however,
the President has his remedy. He might
aily have obtained a decision of the Su
rreiue Ccurt. He could have made a case
ith any of his ten thousand excisemen and
Postmasters. But no, he prefers to throw
the country into an uproar and agony by in
solently defying Congress, by calling up vis-
ionsof civil war, by putting upon the Na
tional Legislature a humiliation, by racking
the country, and filling every home, with
anxiety and pain, and he must abide the
consequence. There is no avoiding this
conclusion. There is no explaining it a
way. There is no middle course. The
President has assumed tlve responsibility of
breaking a laic. Congress must assume the
responsibility of impeaching him. Not to
do so in the face of this flagrant and inso
lent proceeding is to become a partner in
the crime. It is no time to consider the
party influence of impeachment, or its ef
fect upon Presidential candidates. We would
rather see the Republipan party, candidates
and all, driven into the deserts of Arabia
than to have them tremble one moment in
the presence of this high duty. Questions
of expediency were all well enough so long
as the President stood within the pale of
the law. But now when he presumes to be
the executive, legislative, and judicial pow
er, when he claims to decide which laws
Congress may pass, and what acts are con
stitutional, to hesitate a moment is criminal.
It is conceded by Mr. Johnson and his
apologists and friends everywhere that his
order removing Secretary Stanton was a vi
olation of the Tenure-of-Civil-Office law,
that it was such a violation as that law
makes criminal, and that his violation of it
was intentional, and with a clear recognition
of its character. But, say they, he violate i
the law simply to test its constitutionality.
The same plea might be made for Jefferson
Davis. He believed a State had the con
stitutional right to secede, and he led the
Rebellion ia order to vindicate his belief.
31 r. Johnson may have clear views 6f the
, constitutionality of the Tenure-of Office law.
But we will assume that he believes the law
is unconstitutional, and disobeys it in order
to test it. It must be admitted that in so
doing he exposes himself equally to the pun
ishment due to the disobedience, of the law,
provided his belief has no foundation. He
cannot claim that the Congress which pas
sed the law by a two-thirds vote over his
vet", and over all he and his Attorney Gen
eral had to advance against its constitution
ality, should reverse their owu belief in its
constitutionality thus clearly expressed, and
allow the only person for whose restraint it
was made to disobey it with impunity. He
must expect botn houses of Congress to act
upon their own well-known views, not upon
his. Acting on their views, his act is the
crowning high crime in a long series of u
surpatioiu. Legally, it can have no justifi
cation in their sight, ftr they have already
decided that it is constitutional. The log
ical effect of such decision is that he is a
criminal, and it is their duty to impeach
aud remove him. It may be unfortunate
for Mr. Johnson that his case is not triable
before some other triounal the Supreme
Court, .for instance. But it is not, and at
the time he committed theoffense he knew it
was not. He knew then as well as he does
now that the tribunal which would pass up
on his innocence or guilt had already settled
beyond discussion before it that the law was
constitutional. Hence his only chance of
escape was in the reliance of th j bully upon
the supposed cowardice of his adversary.
If in piace of cowardice he meets with
prompt, signal, overwhelming punishment,
this, too, is a risk he assumed in violatiug
the law.
But it is asked, Why should not the Sen
ate wait until the Supreme Court has pas
sed upon ths constitutionality of the law ?
We answer. Because in all that pertaius to
impeachment, the Senate, sitting as a
High Court of impeachment, is the su
preme tribunal, and is clothed by the Con
stitution with powers which the authors or
our government dared not intrust to the
Supreme Court. The High Court of Im
peachment becomes a court so far above the
Supreme Court in every required quality of
constitutional power as well as of learning,
political wisdom, and dignity, that the lat
ter has no jurisdiction of the subject matter,
or of the parties, and least of all would its
opinions be any authority on the questions
of law or of fact involved. It would beacon-
tempt of this High of Court Impeachment,
which would render the Judges of the Su
preme Court themselves liable to impeach
ment and removal, were they to interfere in
any manner with the impeachment, arrest,
conviction, or removal of President John
son, or with the decision of the questions of
law or of fact on which his conviction de
pends. From the moment this High Court
of Impeachment is organized, it becomes,as
to the particular case it has in hand, a whol
ly uperior,and, indeed, absolutely supreme
tribunal; and whatever the ordinary Su
preme Court may think of the constitution
ality of a law is of no more consequence to
the High Court of Impeachment than
would be the opinion of our Court of Com
mon Pleas. All this Mr. Johnson must
have well known when he, as his admirers
claim, took the responsibility of disobeying
the Tenure-of-Otfice-Law. -
But suppose Mr. Stanton had obeyed the
President's order of removal. The constitu
tionality of the- law would not then have
come in question and could not have been
tested in this case. It is as uecessary, there
fore, in order to test the constitutionality of
the law, that Stanton should disobey the
Presidetit's order as that the President
should issue the order and disobey the law.
If, then, the President intended to test the
constitutionality of the law, he must have
intended that Stanton should disobey his
order. Does anybody claim that he so in
tended ? If he had so intended, he might
have accomplished his intention by simply
preceding his order by a note informing
Stanton "that he would issue such an order
in form, but solely in order to bring the
question before the courts, and that Air.
Stanton would not be expected to obey the
order until the courts had decided the ques
tion in the President's favor. This would
have avoided all misconception, and would
have screened the President from blame, in
or out of Congress. But instead of this, he
orders Secretary Stanton to deliver physi
cal possession of the office immediately, and
Gen. Thomas not only demands possession
without any pretense that he makes the de
mand as a means of appealing to the courts,
but he issues orders as Secretary of War,
orders Stanton out of the office, and threat
ens to turn him out at the point of the bay
onet. As we have no evidence that Gen.
Thomas is dishonest, we may safely infer
from his conduct that he did not learn from
the President that his appointment was de
signed as a means of getting the question
into court until after his arrest, when he
called upon Johnson and was so informed,
the case being then already in court. We
may safely set down the story that John
son's sole object was to test the question in
the courts as a misrepresentation.
But it is clear that Johnson intended to
get posession of the War Department as a
means of controlling the army. His tenders
of promotion and command to prominent
military officers like Sherman and Thomas,
who have spurned his offers with such hon
est and patriotic contempt, and his over
tures to minor officers ti ascertain whether
they would put their troops' under his or
ders io defiance of those of Gen. Grant, all
know that Johnson wanted, not to test the
constitutionality of the law, but to get con
trol of the army, or at least a considerable
Dortion of it, to employ it in resistance to
the measures of Congress and the orders
of Gen. Grant and Secretary Stanton. Find
ing himself foiled in this, ha now talks of
testing the constitutionality of tl:e law. If
he did not know that the tribunal before
which his acts would come for judgement
was the same which passed the law, and
that before such a tribunal he could subject
it to no new test, he deserves impeachment
for his stupidity.
Were this the first step in the Presi
dent's career of official crimes and usurpa
tions, Congress aud the country would have
regarded it with infinite forbearance. But
designed as the climax of a long series of of
fenses arid crimes which he calls his "poli
cy," he can claim no such forbearance. It
was not to test the constitutionality of any
law that he violated from the outset the act
of Congress forbidding the appointment of
Rebels like Gen. Humphreys and Gov.
Sharkey to office. He-did it as a clear vio
lation to law, because he thought the law
unwise. And Congress overlooked his of
fense. His usurpation of the legislative pow
ers of Congress relative to reconstruction was
a serious politic:! 1 crime, but Congress over
looked it in cousidoration of his known uu
familiarity with all que-tions of constitu
tional law. His abuse of the pardoning
power by allowing his signature to bo hawk
ed about by harlots, and his abuse of the
appointing power by levying contributions
on his office-holders, have been a stench in
the nostrils of the nation. His use of the
whole patronage and power of the Govern
ment as a grand corruption fund, to bribe,
buy, and bully all office holders into the be
trayal of the very principles and party he
was himself elected to sustain, revealed a
depth of personal depravity unprecedented
in the history of public men in America.
His complicity with the Rebels and fraitors
in their anti-negro riots at Memphis and
New Orleans, rendered hi in morally respon
sible for scores of innocent lives, and showed
him capable of winking at any efforts to in
augurate a war of races. His drunkenness
when taking the inaugural oath, and when
swinging around the circle, condemning him
to everlasting contempt, yet was treated
with apparent forbearance. His treachery
to his oath and constitutional duty in delib
erately striking down the most distinguish
ed heroes of One war, and our most trusted
civil officers,'for their fidelity to the laws,
and their desire to see them faithfully exe
cuted, merited prompt impeachment, con
viction and removal months ago, but Con
gress fort bore and condoned these offenses.
At last, however, Andrew Johnson, as
sured and self-deceived by this long for
bearance and oft-repeated delay to punish,
assumes a position which would enable him
to revolutionize the Government and make
himself Dictator within twenty days, if
Congress should concede the power he
claims. For if he can remove and appoint
ad interim all the officers, civil and military i
in the country, without asking the consent
of the Seuate, he can remove Grant and ap
point Lee to the command of the army, re
move every loyal man from every office in
the country, and appoint only traitors in
their stead, and thus make himself Dicta
tor take possession of the Government,
disperse Congress, or commit any other
crime which unlimited power could accom
plish when allied to boundless treachery and
depravity. No other President has ever
advanced the preposterous claims now put
forward by Mr. Johnson. They are whol
lv in violation of law. and at war with con
stitutional liberty, and the very existence of
the Oovernment.
