IMPEACHMENT.

We would like to friend John M. Bolts
carry his threat into execution and bring into Con-
gress articles of impeachment against the President
The spectacle would be novel; and he circumstances
The trial of Warren Hastings before he Bri-
'ish Parliament would furnish faint precedent for
this most sublime scene. Mangum would of course
preside fit counterpart of the Lord Chancellor of
England Bolts and Stanly would manage the cause
for the people, as Burke and Sheridan managed The
Hastings prosecution for the Crown. The thunder
ngs of Bolts would silence the echo of Burke's elo-
quence, and the in the galleries would faint
and go into Mysteries at the sublime maDedctions of
StanIy.
Or take a more recent case--the trial Of Queen
Charlotte What Brougham could be found to with
stand the powerful assaults of an Arnold on the
Chief Magistrate What legal circu nvallaion
could Cushing build up around Mr.. Tyler to with
stand the battering of Truman Smith Alas !!
alas the threat OF Mr. Bolts is terrible Could no
he be bought off Cou not he be persuaded, threat
ened, or haltered away from his cruel purposes ?

THE BALL KEEPS ROLLING-ANOTHER
TREMENDOUS MEETING OF THE PEOPLE
TO SUSTAIN THE EXECUTIVE OF THE
UNION-THE OLD DEMOCRATIC EIGHTH
WARD WIDE AWAKE!
The friends of the President residing in the Sth
Ward, turned out last evening in great strength to
approve of his democratic course, in rejecting the
mad schemes of the Clay wings. They met at the
old head quarters, .'Davis's Long ROOMS" and that
immense Hall was filled to its utmost limits
The resolutions were decid dly democratic in their
tone and each one was received with tremendous
applause, and when the question was put upon them,
they were adopted without dissenting voice. They
approve most heartily of the action of the President
and condemn in terms not to be misunderstood, the
whole course of the ultra wings in their continued
attempts to thwart the wishes of the people, by for
cling upon the Executive schemes which they well
know he cannot approve. This was the most deci-
dedy democratic meeting that has yet been held
and it may in fact be cons. dered the commencement
of series of democratic meetings throughout the
country in favor Of the President
There was ridiculous attempt made by hand
full of unruy and dsorganizing indivi uals to impose
upon the meeting resolutions which had no connec
ton whatever with the case; but they greatly mis-
took the feeling that existed. They were put down
almost unanimously.

THE VETO.

Mr.. Tyler has returned the temporary tariff bill to
the House of Representatives in which it originated,
accompanied with message containing his obec-
tons and his grounds for disappearing (which we
copy in this paper He objects to the bill prime pally
on two grounds : Ist That it is violation Of the
principle of the Compromise act of 1888, which was
that duties should be laid primarily for revenue and
only incidentally for protection: ID That 1t Is vo-
la,ion Of the Distribution law Of September, lS4l
which expressly stipulates that the distribution shall
cease whenever the duties on imports shall exceed
twenty per cent. on their value. This bill, which he
has now vetoed, most palpable violation of both
those conracts-of the Distribution law in particu-
lar and the understanding under which it was passed
this bill was such gross violation, that the trainers
dared not to express their meaning in plain English
but employed the most doubtful and amb guous terms
The irmness of the Executive, In the face OF then
denunciatons and thr, ats of imp achment has hap
PLY once more arrested the prohigate course OF q
corrupt majority in our National Legislature. This
is the third time that his nterposed has taught
that reckless and unprncipled m Jo1ty that there
was limit to their power, beyond which they might
n t pass Mr. Tyler will be sustained in the position
he has assumed on the Tariff and Distribution ques-
tons by the honest men of all parties.
j is admitted In the message, that twenty per cent
the highest present of du les, is not enough to
meet the necesste s of the Government, and Mr. Ty-
Ter processes himself willing CO. operate any
slsent plan for increasing the revenue He is prola-
bly, correct in his opinion. The headlong extrava-
gance of the present ruling party during period OF
little mere than year, has reduced the national Trea-
sury almost to beggary, and it would be long before a
tariff of thirty, forty even fifty per cent, would free
the country from embarrassment; without the intro
duclion of economy in expenditure, revenue how
ever large will render our finances any more prospe-
rous than they are now. We would advise reducing
the expenditures in preference to increasing the
nue.. There are many WAYS in which It may be done;
for instance by shortening the sessions of Congress

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT.

Regarding Mr.. Bolts threat ofimpeaching the Pre-
sident eAuson Of personal Spleen it would, if
imbodied in resolutions and submitted to vote, begin
and end with the proposer. There is no respectable
body of party men who would sustain proposition
that would cast ridcule on them and if pushed out
in practice react in favor Of the party impeached to
their inj lry 1t would be the means Of rallying
numbers, from force of sympathy and hatred of per-
secuton, to the support of the President, who now
stand aloof watching the progress Of events. The
engine of Impeachment is formidable one in the
hands of reckless and triumphant majority in Con-
gress But it must be welded with great caution, or
II WILL if it fail from insufficient grounds oyerwhelm
in ruin the authors instead of the object of mpeach-
ment The notice of impeachment is, therefore,
either an idle indicative of party reckless
We have no hesitation in assigning it the for
mer character.

IL Mr.. Bolts threatens to present to the House
resolutions of impeachment against President Tyler
"Head him die, is still the determination and at
the rate at which the Wing party now going it will
certainly be die" An effort to mpeach Mr. r yler
would do more than any other method which could
be devised to raise up for him determined body of
supporters, and at the same time destroy what little
confidence the people have left in Wing government
and patriotism The Federal members of Congress
when they go home, if they ever do will have ser-
Gus account TO settle with their constituents and
those of them who ever return there, may consider
themselves peculiarly fortunate.

From the N. y Courier & Enquire,

Mr. Tylers official insists upon it that the "plot'
was authentic and that if it has been given over, it
is merely because the Madsonian frightened Mr..
Bolts out fit! Remarking on the grave-and rather
too gravenotice which the IntelIgencer took of the
silly fanfaronade, the Madisonan says that any body
who places any reliance upon the disclaimer of that
paper twill be made fool of" In which case the
Madisonian will have striking advantage over ''any
body y for its Editor is already fool without any
addition to the original workmanship of nature.

From the correspondence Of the Boston COurler.I
To-day Mr.. Bolts made speech, in the course OF
which he said that, in case of a certain event. ne
should move to raise committee, with power to send
for persons and papers, investigate the OF
the Veto This would, indeed be novel proceeding,
and | cannot believe that such motion would pre-
vail. The President would certainly not consent to
appear before committee, to be catechised in regard
to the discharge of his duties, and know not any
other person who would be likely to shed light on the
subject. In short, it is easy to foresee that whate-
may be the intentions of individuals, the whole
matter of impeachment will end in smoke
