THE PRESIDEN7'S OPINIONS.

The correspondent of the Poston Post visited the
President, and learned his opinion of the Impeach-
ment trial and its personal effects, which he tells
thus :—The President said : " I have never allowed
myself to believe or feel that the American Senate
would prostitute its great power of Impeachment
to base party purposes, and I shall not believe it
until I know the vote of conviction has been re-
corded. Such is my abstract opinion of the
Senate; but, whatever their judgment may be, I
shall cheerfully bow to the authority of the Con-
stitution." " But, Mr. President, it was suggested
by Mr. Bingham in his closing argument, that
it was doubtful whether you would obey the
mandate of the Senate if the judgment be one
of conviction." Mr Johnson's face flushed, and
a slight start was perceptible as if about spring-
ing to his feet. Smiles and pleasant looks were
gone, and with suppressed indignation he said—
t, The suggestion of Mr. Bingham was a base one,
but, nevertheless, one in perfect harmony with the
charges and suggestions contained in the eleven
Articles of Impeachment. Why should I not obey
the mandate of the Senate if all the forms and re-
quirements of the Constitution are complied with ?
If Senators abuse their trust they are not respon-
sible to me, but to the people, who hold the sove-
reign power. The people have placed me in charge
of one of the great departments of the Government,
with all its duties and responsibilities, and the same
people have placed Senators in another department
also, with grave responsibilities and with the
power to try Impeachment, and render judg-
ments thereon. If Senators thisuse or abuse this
great power thus intrusted to them, it is not for
the party impeached and convicted to attempt to
set aside the judgment of the Senate. The people
alone can settle with their agents for any abuse
of their great trust. Mr. Bingham well knows
that I have never failed to yield a cheerful com-
pliance with all the requirements of the Constitu-
tion. I have endeavoured, to the best of my ability,
to protect, defend, and preserve that great chart of
our liberties, and I am more than willing to surren-
der my official responsibility whenever called upon so
to do according to the forms and requirements of that
sacred instrument." The President spoke with con-
siderable warmth of feeling, and added that he had
every confidence in the honesty and patriotism of
the great mass of the people, and whatever the judg-
ment of the Senate might be the people would do
him justice. He felt that his reputation was per-
fectly safe in the bands of posterity. It is very evi-
dent the President regards the whole Impeachment
proceedings as simply a trial of the Constitution,
and one in which he feels a deep interest as an Ame-
rican citizen. There was no indication by look or
word that he felt any special interest in the result
on private account. He spoke of the trial precisely
as he would speak of any other public matter in-
volving the public interest.
