Pre bloat 1441inisoll.
The trial of ANDIUM Jouxsox, President
of the United States, upon articles of Int
petebrnent preferred by the House of Rep
reeeetaiiver, is likely to go on. This is
quarrel, as we have repeatedly before said,
in which the Democratic party have no part,
other than as the results may affect, In a
fair way, the status of that party and the
country. Wo did not assist in making MI
NIM JOHNSON President, and since it has
so happened that helms been properly seated
in the chair of the "lamented" LtecoLn,
we shall, on all proper occasions, so far as
his conduct is concerned, approve the right,
and disapprove the wrong. His intercourse
with the subordinates which he has seen
proper to retain, has not been of the most
pleasant kind ; and the Democracy of the
country is in doubt whether he or the men
he has from time to time appointed are
most in fault. The truth is, (and the truth
of the assertion is made manifest by the
tone of the Democratic prate, and the ex
pression of public opinion as shown through
public gatherings,) that this quarrel between
Johnson and the men who elected him Vito
President, he finally lxcoteiog President,
is no quarrel in which the Democratic party
is iaterested, as a party. But it is the duty
of the Democracy to watch and guard the
Interests and liberties of the people in times
when usurping bodies, such as the Rump,
and feeble and weak-minded politicians, have
the affairs of the nation in charge. &nix
60N himself, and the men who support him,
can show no reason why the Democratic
party should support him. Let him and
his friends lend their aid to the support of
the great principles of Democracy, and he
will find no lack of that assistance which is
necessary to carry a true man through. Up
to the present there has been a disgraceful
manifestation of weakness among all the
items of the country, showing, if history is
to be relied on, that the ancient principles
of the Democratic party are yet to save the
nation, if saved at all.
Ws go to press without any definite news
from the Capital, relative to the impeach
ment question; further than the committee
to which the tuatter,'in preparation for the
Senate, was referred, are busily engaged
Aiming the articles of impeachment ; and
it is not expected that the indictment
will come before the honorable Senators
for several days yet to come, and when
it does, it is pretty generally conceded
by the beet lawyers in and out of that
body the whole subject will fall to the
ground• An article in another column of
this paper, gives the probable result of the
vote should a vote be taken.
Since writing the above, we have received
intelligence that the Committee appointed
_by -tha House to-prepares:dela/ of impeach
ment, reported on Saturday. The articles
are ten in number, and six of them are based
on alleged violations of the tenure of office
bill, and four on what are declared to be an
indictable offence, conspiracy against the
rnited States, as set forth in the conspiracy
act of 1861. The articles, it is supposed,
will be adopted substantially as reported.
When presented to the Senate, then comes
the mockery of a trial in that branch of the
Federal Legislature. This Radical body it
will be remembered passed the tenure of
office bill over the President's veto, and
what they may do now can easily bo judged
if they do not wish to stultify themselves.
These Senator' are not impartial jurors.
They have "expressed an opinion"—
have acted I Ben. Wade is to be the Pres
idential usurper, if at all possible to carry
the impeachment through which at present
writing is uncertain.
NEW nAMPSLIIRE. ELICTION.—The elec.
tion in New Hampshire, is exciting a vast
amount of interest throughout the country.
It will be held on the 10th of March. The
opposing candidates for Governor aro the
same this year as last. Last year the Re
publicans carried the State by nearly 3000
Majority. If the Democrats can make the
mac proportionate gain there that we did
in Ohio, it will give us the State by over
3000 majority. All that money and fraud
can do, will be accomplished by the Itadi
ells. They are backed by the Banks and
bondholders in the country. The Demo
crats are addressing themselves to the rea
son of the people, and aro making gains
from the Radicals. If the Democrats carry
New Hampshire, the Radicals will let the
Presidential contest go by default. If they
carry it, they will be encouraged to make
some show of tlght for - the Presidency. We
predict that the Democrats will carry the
State.
P. Joss seems to be willing to accommo-
date the old-fashioned Democracy with what
they want in the coming campaign; 1. c., a
fair fight upon principle and not upon "fuss
and feathers" or any time-serving issue that
might be sprung upon the country. A fight
upon principle the Democracy of the whole
country swept. Your blab about "rattle
snake flags," and having "routed" some
body at Gettysburg, is consistent with your
talk .during the war; but when there was
any "routing" to be done, you were not on

On Wednesday of last week, the Hon.

of his case, was refused admittance by a
oto of 21 ayes to 28 nays, and a resolution

that he has the right
to do so in this instance. But Congress has
passed a law intended to deprive him of this
tight. Thiel law he and ell candid men be
hove to binneonetitutional But until de
cided to be unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court it must be respected. Accordingly
Mr. Johnson takes the only course pomade
inlet a decision by the court on the consti
tutionality of this law. He appoints a man
Secretary of War ad interim, who must go
to the incumbent and demand pease/Anion of
the office, and, being refused, can then ap
ply to the courts, in a claim of personal
right to the office, based on his commission.
Mr. Johnson himself, could not properly get
this matter before the Supreme Court. An
action brought by him would be treated as a
"polaicar' matter, and, probably, be thrown
out of that court. But his appointee can
bring an action LA a matter of personal right,
and, therefore, can get a hearing of the case
and a decision on the constitutionality of the
tenure of office act. It is true, the original
proceedings may be in the District Court, it
being denied that the Supreme Court of the
United States has original jurisdiction in
the case ; but, in case of an adverse deci
rion, General Thomas can appeal to the
Supreme Court, and thus obtain a final de
cision.
Such, we take it, is the true state of this
matter, about which all the hubbub of im
peachment, civil war, etc., has been raised.
The President simply seeks a decision of the
Supreme Court as to an act which he honest
ly believes to be unconstitutional, so that he
may know how to act in regard to it, and he
has taken the only course by which he can
hope to obtain such a decision. This is all
he has done, and it is because of this sim
ple proceeding that the country is agitated
(through Radical agency) with apprehen
sions of presidential impeachment and frat
ricidal war.
It is said that General Thomas will not
apply for a writ of quo warrant°, but will
rely upon the decision of the court in his
own ease—he having been arrested at the in
stance of Stanton on the charge of violating
the tenure of office act—for a decision as to
the constitutionality of that act. This may
be true, for we presume a decision in this
case will lead to proper determination of the
question, as well as would a proceeding
bringing Stanton into court. The constitu
tionality of the tenure of office law is the
only question in the way. If this law be
decided unconstitutional, Stanton must go
out and the impeachment matter "go up."

even though that man wire the Pre4derit,er
a thousand times greater than the President
we are sorry that he had no better judgment.
We are not sorry that the Detacieretie party
bad not the same dangerous facility in
chancing their views that he seems, (hon
estly enough, perhap,) to have possessed.
If the Detnocrats were disposed to shirt
any responsibility for the President, they
might easily do so, and truly say that the
present fearful ryuarrell between Congrese
and the Executive, is purely a family feud
among the Radicals. We did not nominate
Johnson—we did not elect him—on the 0011-
trary, ho was nominated and elected because
ho was the most bitter, and tho most reck
less, and the most unrelenting enemy the
Democratic party bad in the Southwest, and
all the more bitter and all the more unre
lenting because he had been a recent convert
to Radicalism. But while these considera
tions would forever prevent the Democratic ,
party from following in the train of Andrew
Johnson, or from making an apostle or a
candidate of him, they cannot sit supinely
by, and see that department of the govern.
ment which he happens to hold, and which
he has di reedy from the people, encroached
upon, swallowed up and utterly ruined, by*
co ordinate branch of the government.
If Andrew Johnson were no better than
the meanest member of the Radical majori
ty of Congress—if, like Ashley, he had con
spired and forgathered with perjured felonts,
or like Butler s he had used official position
to plunder private persons and insult virtu
owl wtmien—we would still maintain that in
his person, however unworthy, the Presi
dential office, the Executive Department of
the government should not be destroyed by
either of the other branches, or by both
branches combined.
The present Congress, which this day re
presents a minority of the people r.t th e
States that were not it' rebellion, in a
of revenge and pass ion, pawed certain laws.
with the avowed purpose of preventing the
present Executive from using powers which
had been accorded to every preening Presi
dent. (Neither Tyler nor Fillmore had a
majority in Congress, yet they were not in
sulted, and manacled with a "Tenure-orof
fiee" bill.) The constitutionality of these
unprecedented enactments is denied,and yet
is unsettled by. the Supremo Court, and Con
gress, with violent and indecent baste. has
decided to impeach the President because.
as they allege, he has violated or sought to
violate a law to which no former President
Was ever subjected.
There is not one man in one hundred in
this country, who knows anything about the
"Tenure of Office Bill," for alleged disre
gard of which Mr. Johnson is to be im
peached and turned out of office. Every
man knows or may know that every Presi
dent heretofore has selected his own Cabinet
officers, and there are not five instances in
eighty years where they have been rejected
by the Senate. But this Radical Congress
have made it a crime, to be punished with a
forfeiture of office, for the President even to
nominate his own Secretaries! Of the rev
olutionary character of this assumption, of
the fearful consequences which must follow
' n--of the fixrentive Dope
went or the Government by the Legislative,
w hi c h, i n this ca ws hive made a item .
snaking a new offense wait a special culprit
in view, no proof is required.
Just look, for a moment, bow violent and
malignant this Congress is. On the impeach
ment question the vote stood 126 to 47. We
venture to assert that every man of this 126
voted for Andrew Johnson Ihr Vice Presi
dent io 1864. Yet, because he happens to
disagree with this 126, they paws a law to
prevent him from exercising the appointing
power, as every previous President had done
—they make imputed disregard of the law
punishable by impeachment • they declare
(by a new law, also) that during trial, the
President should be suspended risen office -
and that whoever happens to be Vice Presi
dent at the beginning of the trial, shall
be President.
The crisis is a solemn one. We have no
trust except in the sound sense and cella for
bearance of the people. We would mouse!
and implore all men to moderation in speech
and action. We ask nothing for Andrew
Johnson, but we pray that the Department
of the Government which he administers
may not be absorbed or destroyed. and
the Constitution made a mere rope of
sand!
The Democratic party is the only obstacle
under Heaven to the lawless encroachments
of Congress, who have uprooted all law and
order, and have voted themselves saints and
homes. The President is not of our party,
and has not labored for us in his administra
tion of public affairs. But we cunnot see,
without proper resistance, the Constitution
and laws overthrown, in order to depose him
from office.
The spectacle we present to the nations of
the earth is a most melancholy one. The
House of Representatives, acting like a
frenzied mob, with no more seme of respon
sibilitv than so many lunatics, have declared
that tiey will have the President turned out
not for attempting to pass injurious laws—
his hands are tied inthat— not fbr betraying
his country to a foreign enemy—not for at
tempting to hold office beyond his legal term
—simply for seeking to remove a tyrant
from office who has not the love of a human
