Cbt Democrat. HARVEY SICKI.ER, Editor. TVNKHANItOCK, PA I Wednesday. Oct. 24, 1566. The troubles in Baltimore, a brief mention ot' which will be lound in our pa- j per of today, are growing more and moie seiiotts ; and it is feared may result i.i an insurrection or civil war, which the radical rebels seem determined on bringing about, i in some way. J. VY, Forney, boldly coun sel* resistance to the legal authorities in .Maryland and promises aid from his ful lowers in tl. is state. It is said that beast , Butler has promised to lead 10,000 men from Massachusetts, to oppose the State j i ar.d Federal authorities,in maintaining the law, The radicals in Baltimore are orga nizing and drilling negro troops and their , abettors foi the expected collission Scri- . ous riots have already occurred, in which : numbers of citizens have been killed and wounded. The Police Commissioners re- ! fuse tube tried for their official misconduct and declare their purpose to resist with, arms any attempt to remove them from , office. 1 Another week may find the country in- ! volved in a civil war. Secretary S -ward has had a return of his ; illness, and his son, Mr. Frederick W.Sew- j ard. lias been appointed Secretary of State pro. tempore. Matthias W. Baldwin, the great loc--mo tive builder of Philadelphia, died in that | city last Friday, in the 71st year of his age. Dearf Richmond has left an estate val- ; ued at a million and a half of doil .rs, to | his five sons and daughters he gives £SO. 000 each and to his wife the balance of his , estate. THE IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT.- j Mr. Bingham, of the Offio Congressmen' went so far in a recent speech as to say that j if re lected "So help me God, I will neither give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eye j lids, until I shall have drawn bills of im- j peacliineut against Andrew Johnson." This is the intention —and Bingham is a leading light among lhe Radical members \ of Congress. Reelect enough of these j mi n, and we have the country coi vtdscd by a trial of impeachment which will shake its commerce ami trade from top to bottom, j and from bottom to top. (\'.

On Tuesday evening last, lie made a speech to his followers in riarrisburg, when he glorified his own election and exulted , over the defeat of lus opponent. In the i course of bis remarks he proclaimod that ' his election has established the following propositions, which we copy from the j *• Press" of the 11th instant, viz ; It permanently establishes the fact that the Government of the United States is ! vested in the An eiican people and in their Representatives in Congress assembled ami hot iri a corrupt Executive. And upon this strong and granite foun- i dation we shall now proceed to fortify ' against the inroads of time and the attacks | * ' * of treason, the following truths and cove- I nants; "That the Government of the people, by | tl e people and fo the people, shall not perish from the earth : 'TI at cruel and revengeful traitors, do- ; featctl in battle, s tall not be restored to ruin the country they' attempted to destroy : j 'That when our fore/it tiers declared man capable ot self government, they rejected j the Iwicsy of human slavery, and pledged , equal political rights to all their successors. 'That hereafter the citizen represented in the State and National Legislatures must j be clothed with the rights of citizenship: i •That all i he agencies of the Government. ! civil and miiiiai v, must be - perseieringly and sjeruly exercised to protect, vindicate, mid if i eed be, avenge our oppressed broth ers in the South against the savage persecu tions of rebels who are still so impenitent and defiant that even Andrew Joimsoti fears U pardon them.' Divested of all extraneous matter this proi.uiiciamento, means that the Disunion jnr;ty will exercise their political power to disfranchise the white men of the South mid ttifiancbise the blacks; and that the armv i$ to be used to carry out this and other disunion projects if it becomes neces SHfV. 'J'We eleven foot appears as soon as it is indicated that the election lias gone in fa vor of the Disnnionists. So anxious is the leader of the Radicals to proclaim his and their policy that he cannot wait to have the vote* counted. If Geary's announcement is carried out, we can see in the distance such an entire revolution in our Government, that the Con stitution will neithei be preserved in form or substance. We have only to wait and -... 1 Impeaching thePresldent. IRa'dftfal orators and * organs have talked s, fl ppantly of impeaching the 1 President, have tuined the most solemn and important duty devolvitg uporCCon gre'st, tlie Seentc, and the Chief Justice, in (to such a commonplace afiair that many peopie seem to think the business can be I hastened over with the same racility as a j law suit in a country court or a diseussiou j in a country debating society. They forget 1 that the Constitution carefully points out ' j the routine to lc followed when a man elect j |ed by the people of the United States to I ! represent them and the power and dignity j , of the nation at home and abroad, is to be ; | tried for a will abai donni- nt of his duty.— I l They overlook the fact that all the details i of such a trial ate presented with a minute- j nessand accuracy that forbi Is those engag- j ed m it from straying from the leg d arid con-titutional jiatlt. The bill of indictment I must be drawn by-a certain specified form, i The trial iwust take place before a differ i ent body. The Chief Justice of the L'ni-i ted States must preside, and the Senators , mu-t be sworn as jurors to act on the mo- j mentous occasion, not as politicians, not as i tnen eager ti ran excuse to depose a Presi- j dent by means of the "bluck Hiid the ax," | in order to h- >i 1 the reius of political power j and thus be enabled to fid the different j situations with their friends and tools, but! as honest men, as patriot.-, with an eye sin gle to the welfare of the whole people, the unity of the States, and tlie prosperity ot the nation. Tlie same care taken by the framers of the Constitution in hedging a trial of the Chief Magistrate of the nation with due forms and salt guard.*, extends to the sp< ci fication of the bodies u hicli are to partici pate in the solemn business. The H<>u-e of Representatives is to jref> r the charges. Tlie 2d section, article 1 of the Constitu tion thus sets forth the maimer in which j this Grand Jury 'otind a hill <>f impeach-j tnent aganst the President is to be drawn j fr-mi tiie ..ation : The House of Represents!iv # shall be composed of lie lit her* chns>!i every second ye ir by the |'ople of t he sereral Slates , and the elector? in each State ] shall have ihe qua :itk-;itiun nquisite .for electors of of the iuot numerous bran hof the State Lcgisla tuie. It will be observed that by the provisions of the Constitution a II of Representa tives. to prefer charges against the Presi dent, "shall be" compose ! of members cho se i every so con l year by the people of the "several States." Now, will it he couten ded that a Congress i:i wliich ten State* of the Union are utirepn s ented, not from choice, but from compulsion, in such a Con gress a* the Constitution contemplated to bring < barges against t' : President, and send thein to the Senate ? If the ten S:ates mentioned neglected to send delegates to Congress ; if they voluntarily refused to partie'putin the legislative affairs of the natin: : if they surrendered their rights by a fret will choice, the case wou d be differ ent. But they are now asking to have their members of Congress admitted. That re quest has been refuse I, and a sectional tna- ! jority has deprived Congress ot the power, tinder tl e Constitution, to prefer charges again-t the President, because that body is ! not compn-yd of members chosen bv tlie' people compri-ing the "severa: State" of the Federal Union. But if the charges con! 1 be preferred, is tbe Senate of the United States such a body a* c o be constituted a court to try and sen tence die I're-ident? Article 1, section 3 oft lie Constitution thu* declares what shall constitute a legal Senate : The Se- are of 'he United Stele? shall be composed of two Senator? from each State chosen by the Lag i?l :tnte thereof, for six years ; and each Senator shall have one vote. Senators are now absent from fen States of the Union. Th v have hppn elected and have presented their credential and cla-ms for admi*-i"n under the Constitution. But a sectional majority has refused their appli cation. Under such a State of facis will anv reasonable, fair mu: contend that the Senate i* composed of two Senators f oni j•' each St'te ?" If it is not, then it cannot | trv the President; ftr the Constitution not i onlv declares that the trial shrtM take place before the Senate, but al-o specific* bow j the Spnate shall he constituted. The jury mti*t consist of two members from ''each j State" of the Union. A bs* nnmher. tin- j less absent from m-glect nn the part of the people of the several States, is fatal to the I i validity a"d legalitv of the proceedings It | would not he contended for a moment that ! | if a majority of the Senators from the North | I ern Suites were to bio should not O" represented lin the Senate, than tlie remainder of the [ Senators could proceed in the matter of j the impeachment of the President". And • | vet this is a parallel ease with that of re- ' j fuing Sera'ors from the Southern States, ! so far as the constitutional ri<>ht of a sec j tioral Senate to proceed in an impeach- j mi nt case i* concerned. It vvi'l thn* be seen that it. i* not so easy ' a mattet to impeach the President as the Radical Fader* would m-'ke a portion of 1 1 the people believe. Tbe Chief Magistrate j lias rich's which the Constitution guatds, : as wel' as flu- people. The Radicals, how- ; ever, in order to destnv tho*e rights and to oht*i" possession of the office from the 1 moment when the summons for the Presi- , dent to appear ha* been issued, antnp ! thp pnsiti n'bnt the law deprives ihe Chief Magistrate ofjall the powers at d functions of his office pending the trial. This is false in ! law, against ad precedent, and dangerous in a high degree to the safety and wel- i fare of the nation. If this course be cn-1 dorsed. a political oarty may prefer arti- j cle* of impeachment against a President at the beginn'ng of his term ; the Senate mav deprive him of the functions of his office, and then refuse to proceed with the, trial until the end of the term for which lie was ohoen. thn* virtually making the i election of a President a farce, and mcrg- j ing the executive in the legislative, branch of the nation. But such i* not the law or practice in impeachment eaos. An offi cer summoned to appe..r and answe** to nil impeachment, mav make his selection ! from three alternative*, fie may appear in person, by h'S eoursel, or he mav de cline t appear at all. and take the con-e --quences as n defendant do (, s in a civil suit. In the ca*e of Justice Samuel Chase, of the United States Supreme Court, im | peached in ißus, the Senate, after orga* j nizing as a high court of impeachment, j Adopted ttie following as one of its rules j of proceedings: 10. The person impeached shall then be called to appear and answer the articles ot impeachment i exhi' ited agjainst him If he appears, or aay per son for hiin, :he appearance shall be r corded, stating particularly if y himself or if by agent or ettornejr, the same shall he recorded. This rule is founded both upon the law . and the reason of the case, and should gov j ern a'l future impeachment trials before | Senate of the United States. The Presi dent may appear in person, by counsel, or he may not appear at all; but in no case : can he bu deprived of the functions of his ■ office until a fair trial has been had before suoh a Senate As the Constitution of the United States declares shall try impeach -1 ment cases. There can be no mock pro ceeding*, no fringing the representative of ! the people of the United States to the J I "block and the ax." in open violation of 1 all constitutional rights and legal piece- ! 1 dents. This may be accepted as a fact. There are all these obstacles ir. the rev-1 ' olutionarr path which the Radicals have ' marked out. The hope to depose the ! 1 President and usurp supreme power in I this country. But it cannot be done by 1 i carrying out the Butler impeachment pro \ \ gramme. The Constitution forbids such fill outrage as that contemplated, and the ' President is sworn to uphold and defend ! the Constitution by all the means placed 1 at his ohposal. If the Radicals wish to 1 j *r>el against the law, let them make the i | attempt. Punishment willj speedily fl-! 1 low any overt acts. In the meantime, the j j eomojonsense of the country will ponder ! j such facts as those presented, and public ! opinion will see daog-r in overleaping the barriers of the Constitution in order to perpetuate partisan power.— Age, The Official Returns.
