the President, through his Counsel, Mr.
Henry- Stanberry,-U.--R.-Curtis,-Thonas
.4.110. Nelson, Wm. M. Everts, and W.
S. Groesbeck, presented his answer to
the Articles of Impeachment. •
The answer Virtually admits the Mitirt,
facts allegc - d - in the articles in reference
. to Mr. Johnson's violation of ,the Tenure
of-office lap; and , puts_ his defenee _on
the ground ilready.taken by his friends,
that if this law be unconstitutional, then
the. President committed no high crime
'or misdemeanor in violating The
absurdity.and sophistry of this view has
_been_foo_often_expOsed—td-require-any- 1
extended commentary: The fact that it
is the - President's duty to see that all
laws are properly executed, whether in
his opinion they be constitutional or
not., until the Supreme Court shall have
so decided, is sufficient answer to this
impotent defence. The answer to the
charge of a -conspiracy with
_General
Thomas to' turn out Seeretary Stanton
by force and take possession of the war
office, raises a question of friet which can
easily be deterrpeed by the language of
the President and the acts of General
Thomas.. His• answer to the articles
o7targmg lout 'With an - attempt in, his
speeches during his trip; • "swinging
, around the circle,"' to. bring Congress
into contempt, is simply absurd.-
-That-he-accused-Congress - tif - endeavoi ,-

Union that he said_it_was _uncon-:
stitutional body; that _he alleged it in
stigated the; New Orleans riots ; that he
proclaimed that the majority of thafbocly
were, disitnioniSts;—are facts too well
much..pfoof. -It is'
that, while - he - itereT
in having said these
now attempt to deny
upon the who!e is
simply no defence at, all, and

series of delays that at once acknowledg

The President's friends and counsel
know this, and in this knowledge arises
all their efforts. for delay. Even the De
m-arficy, always striving to avert that
which is -inevitable, seem to have given
up all hopes, and acquiesce in the pros

THE Copperhead papers o are publish
ing the following paragraph attributed to
Daniel Websterin a speech on 111yreb 7,
1850:
"If the infernal fanatics and AbolitioM
sts.ever get power in their hands . , they will
override the Constitution, set the' Supreme
Court at defiance, change and make laws to
suit themselves, lay violent hands on. those
Who ditfieivith them in their_ opinions;
dire miestion their infallibility, and finally
bankrupt the country and . deluge it with
blood.' . •
The languageltself Proves that it never
was spoken by Mr. Webster. The same
paragraph went the rounds of the same
journals several years since and was then
promptly 'contradicted: It has again
been resurrected, on the ,Copperhead
theory that a lie well stuck to is as good
as the truth.
THE Mobile Tribune gives a Southern
photograph of the Demociatic party,
from which we quote tliC following ohoice
portions: -
" But what is the National Democratic
party 1 It is not the:party.that existed be
fore the war tinder the name of the Democra

in times untainted with the breath of rove

to elect one or two Councilmen in this
