IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT.


We alluded yesterday to the rumors which have
prevailed for number Of days, relative to the plot
which it is said the Clay Wings in Congress have in
contemplation for impeaching the President. We
stated that it was said The plan Of operation had been
laid down and agre,d upon, but supposed the pro-
Ject SO monslruusIy absurd that even the mad Clay
faction in Congress could scarcely perpetrate such an
act OF inconceivab folly. We have thought better
Of it however, They have already been gully of
acts of madness full as this latter propo-
siion-and in the state Of lunacy which prevails
among the Wing majority in Congress- it ia not to be
supposed that any sibie der alton of policy of
81 gh est possible effect 10 hinder them from urging on
Their course of ruin 10 ORDER therefore, that none
OF our readers may have say that they have
reason t" say tat hey ha been taken unawares we
give The particulars Of he conspiracy they are con-
tanned IN the Madsonian of Saturday.
There Is one portion of the plot delineated by the
Madisonian, which We think even Wing madness
scarcely attempt to carry 1t is the project of
suspending the Chief Magistrate from office. This
Is Impossible By the Constitution the President is
empowered to dscarge his duties until he is actually
removed by impeachment, and sentence is finally
passed by vote of lwot thirds of the Senate. Were
i'oher~ise it Is plain that majority of the House
OF Representatives could disable the President plea
sure This portion of the plot therefore cannot be
possible 1t Is possible that the mad faction in Con-
g'ess actually contemplated impeachment There is
no absurdny too great for them to perform when they
have The lower.

ATTEMPTS 'sTO HEADn THE ACTS OE Al
ALL-WISE PROVIDENCE.

ALL-WlSE PROVIDENCE.
The Clay wings in Congress, having failed In thei
repeated attempts to 'head" the conscience OF fresi
dent Tyler have at last conceived the mpious thoLgh
OF daring to attempt to "head" the ways oil that IN
scrutabe but all-wise Providence which brought him
into the station he now occupies. Knowing that they
cannot alter the decree of the Supreme Ruler OF the
Universe which has thwarted them in their designs
to entail upon the people of this country their favor
lite measures, they arise in their wckedness and say
''we will at least suspend its operation !" asses
We shudder at the thought of the end that may yet
betal men who will thus act in defiance of both God
ald man.
The wing majority in the Senate are now matur-
ing one of the most odlous and Objectionable Iarlh
bills that the ultra of their gang could conceive
This they intend to pass, together with the rest OF
their measures such as Bank and Funded Debl
of oo hundred millions for the payment OF the States
debts and send them to the majority of the House,
composed Of their own kid, for concurrence In the
mean time the House is to bring charges OF I'M
PARCHMENT against President Tyler, not with
any expectation of convicting him, but that, while
the Senate would be engaged in hls trial, he would
be suspended from performing the duties OF PRESIDENT,
which duties would, for the time being devove upon
MIR Mangum, lately elected by the Clay men fresi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate, who would approve
of and sign the bills, and they would become the
law
Now is not this most deplorabe exhibition OF
what men will do who are bent upon admlnste ing
our government IN some way or other Tor the partcu
lar benefit of corp rate manufacturers and moneyed
aristocrats' 1t is enough to make ones blood boil
to reflect upon it yea, enough to arouse the indlg
nation of nsulted people, and to provoke them to
resort to unusual means to drive the usurpers from
heir high places. But our apprehensons are allay
ed from the fact that like their proposition made
year ago. to tax the Tea and Coffee, the outrage will
be SO papable in their sight, and the ,oarning
retibtire voice Of the DEMOCRATIC PRESS and of the
PEOPLE, will be so loud and 20 strong that they will
retract and before the omnipotency OF that
Power, which has hitherto successfully resisted
their final triumph. In the mean time, let the peo-
pie prepare to apply the god old remedy for such
| insufferable evils-the ballot box

John M. Coffee-House Bolts has mpeached the
President-in the National Intelligencer-the only
quarter, we suspect, in which he will find much SYM
pathy. The articles are twelve in number but they
not sufficiently norel to warrant reprint They
are made up of senseless and exploded charges,
which have been iterated and reiterated again and
again, in Congress and elsewhere, by the Clay men,
without exciting any other feeling than contempt for
their authors.

Extract Ola letter from Boston.


| send you an extract from the Mercantile Journal
of last evening 1t expresses the sentiments Of every
body in Boston:
1t is much to be regretted that at this time, when
our foreign relations in most critical position,
and an unjust an unwlse, or an impotlc act may
heap dishonor our country or involve us in ru-
nous, expensive, protracted and sanguinary war
with Great Brtan-at such crisis, it is deeply to be
regretted that feeling of bitter hostility to the pre-
sent executive should be cherished by majority of
both branches of Congress This must cmbarrass
our diplomatic proceedings, and nterpose serious OBJ
stacles to the amcabe and prompt settlement of the
points in dispute between the two countries. 1t is
dsgraceful fact that many of our members of Con-
gress evnce much stronger desire to gain pictory
John Tyler, than to second any proposition
mating from him, to preserve peace, and promote the
interest, and cherish the honor Of the country.
The true question at the present time, is not who
shall be the Wing candidate for the Presidency at the
next election what shall be done to favor the pre-
tensions of particular candidate-but what shall be
done to relieve country from embarrassment, and
preserve an honorable peace with all nations. 1t is
to and not to MEN, that must look at this
time. Let the Administration be Judged by its acts.
The Wings of New England were wont to repose full
confidence in the talents integrity, and patriotism of
DANIEL WEBSTER. What has this distinguished
statesman done to forfeit that confidence; Patriot
ism would dictate that the arm of the Executive
should be strengthened at this critical time by Con-
gress and by the people; and not palsed by the in
trigues of ambitious, but disappointed politicians"

From The Worcester Palladium

The affection which the Wings manifest for each
other is circumstance that marks the character of
the times. President Tyler member of the
Harrisburg Convention, and went there to procure
the nomination of Henry Clay for the Presidency
But it happened that the Convention thrust aside
Clay's claims, and pitched upon :" Tip and Ty" for
their candidates. Unexpectedly to Mr. Clay, he finds
Mr. Tyler in the place to which for twenty years he
himself has been aspiring and althoug Mr. Tylers
political sentiments have suffered change he stands
very much in MI. Clay's way about this tine. He
therefore denounccs him. in his letter to the Alexan
drians, as ,oeak, Facilitating and faithless Chief
Magistrate" who, according u previous epise,
is painly seeking, BY culpabie administration Of
The patronage Of the Government, to create third
party" If he would but throw the patronage of the
Government in favor of Henry Clay instead of John
Tyler, then Mr.. Clay would find no difficulty in
audng the President strong, uabending faithful
Chief Magistrate There would be no bounds TO his
alniability

The Harrisburg Telegraph says that "Oliyer
Old,chool," of the United States Gazette, is
Nathan Sergeant, Esq, and we do not doubt
it, He concludes the paragraph thus:
at would be well were majority of the Washing
ton letter writer's copy his style and conne them
selves shooting folly asi flies instead of baggng
every idle rulnor, which may be on the wing"
We say so too, thought it may slap some OF
our New York Wing enemies in the mouth
Mi. Sergeant we presume, is hostile TO the
Administration-yet he is gentlemanly in his
communications, and we have respect for him,
even if he is an enemy. So with the Batl-
more American. That paper is doubtless in
imical to the present Executive, yet il is frank,
fair and honorable in its opposition. We can
almost love such foes.
PS. The Telegraph might improve by be-
coming more decent itself.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

The New York Courier and Enquirer says
the Madisonan is owned in part, if not the
whole, by the Presidents and the u S. Gazette
says il is edited by the Cabinet, the members
taking il by turns, each week at a time. II
we can only get these rumors" well crculat-
ed, they will produce golden harvest for as
subscribers will flock to us like wild pigeons
to the oak woods in the fall.
But was the article in the Gazette of the goth
by Chandler? He is generally decent in his
leaders Such expressions as falsehood,"
" dirty work." .weak and venal," are never
uttered by gentlemen, much less by grammar
kings" When an editor loses his temper, he is
apt TO lose his case Also We will wait a day,
before we reply TO the article.
The next "rumor" will probably be that we
are making out a list of Office holders, from the
Blue Book, who do not take the Madisonian, for
the purpose of making few thousand removals
"as soon as Congress adjourns."

had voted for Mr.. Clay, and in (greater) part Of
those who had opposed him. Mr.. Tyler was
elected Vice President by the same party that
elected General Harrison, and was thus made
the repre- sentative Of those who had chosen him.
Suppose that Mr.. Tyler so soon as he succeed
ed 10 the Presidential Chair, made vacant by
the death of General Harrison had gone TO
subsequent attempt for the Presidency, would
he not haveaced in directed contravention of
the wishes of many of those who had supported
him and our late venerated Chief Magistrate,
and who had previously voted against Mr.. Clay
In acting thus, would he not have indeed proved
"a traitors to his own friends, and for what to
elect man whom they had deemed unworthy
of the station.
Let those who would handy harsh epithets
look well to the grounds on which they make
their sanderous charges. Mr. Tyler has been
no "traitor," but, on the contrary, has proved
true TO his trust in spite of those who would
have been pleased TO see him prove recreant TO
his duty 1t has pleased Providence to give TO
this country, in his person, President who is
fitted in all respects to administer its affairs, and
who, very properly, does not think it a part OF
the duty of President to be an eectoneerer
for one of his fellow-cilizens to the exclusion of
all others. Mr.. Tyler feels, as the head of the
Government that he has enough to do in man
aging the ship of State during the voyage for
which he has engaged as Captain" without
undertaking to say who shall command her dur
ing her next cruise. He has shown thorough
knowledge of the interests of his owners, and a
noble determination, at all hazards, to maintain
their rights. If a few of the crew have pitched
upon successor for him, well and good, but, in
the name OF decency, don't let them forget
what they owe TO the parties concerned in the
present voyage, and endeavor to destroy subor-
dination by false charges against their comman-
der. We are willing to believe their intentions
honest, if they will let US, and would entreat
the more reasonable part Of them to assist faith
fully in working the ship through present diff
culties, without troubling themselves about fu-
ture contingencies that may never arise.

From Me Boston Ounce
DANIEL WEBSTER.

A great practical statesman, with comprehensive
intellect, capable of graspng enlarged principles of
national policy, joined to energy sufficient to weave
them into the web of his country's politics,--a man
who, while he belongs TO parry, is not its slave
whom opposition does not daunt, fear of transient
uppopuarity drive from the path of dutyis not very
common even in this country, where the reputation
of craftsmanship is so easily obtained But we think
the honor is justly due to Daniel Webster, whatever
may be thought of the abstract excellence Of the poll
teal opinions he has advocated, OF the democratic
hodoxy of the course of conduct he has pursued IN
public affairs. He has, at least, passed the boundary
which separates the statesman from the politl-
clan, and has not subordinaed patriotism 10 low
bton, or sunk the legislator in the partisan. He is
entitled to all tie respect which great mental power,
applied almost exclusively for long series Of years TO
the public service, should ever obtain Yet what is
his situation now How does he stand in relation 10
the great party into whom he breathed life, and in
whose cause he never atered in its darkest days
of minority and defeat7
MIR. Webs'ers position, and his relations TO the
Wings, are indeed singular. For year after year he
