step authorized, indeed by the Constitution but
wholly without precedent i'll ON history. The l.c-
gislnure is empowered TO remove the State Officers
bya Concurrcn, Vote, with the obvious intent that
the power should be exercised only III cases of NAL
icasance, incompctency and corruption. ct no
shadow of objection is raised Us to the ability, IN

discharged his duties; but. when pressed for a

moved from his office, and Azariah G. flagg elect
ed in his stead This result is brought about by
the votes of New York, .ANany Oneida, Omom-
