Herald General Printing once.

The General Printing Office capable of dong all sorts
descriptions open the Her-d Buildings entrance
from Nassau street-Joseph Elliott Priher
ment OF the ProsIdent-DesPor"tion OF the
wings.
The Madisonian of Saturday contains the partlcu-
lars of an alleged conspiracy on the part of the Clay
wings in Congress of the most atrocious, the most
dabolical character. II is nothing less than a de-
sign 10 suspend the functions and faculties of the
Executive, and by consequence, to uproot the gov
ernmen, OF the United States. We do not-canno,
and will not believe that such thing is in serious
contemplation by any considerable number of re-
spectacle men In Congress and yet the disclosure
in the Madlsonian Is made with degree of deibera-
ton OF earnestness ofsolemnity, and of circumslan-
TALLY OF detail, which leave room to doubt that
the writer convinced of the truth Of the statement.
We give the substance OF the statement:
the Madisonian says the impeachment of the
President has been determined on in caucus, and
that the tariff distribution bill passes the
House, Mr. Bolts is rise in his place and prefer
articles of impeachment against the Chief Magis-
trale Immediately a resolution will be adopted
by the Clay majority. declaring the Presidents e-
gal inability 10 discharge the duties and powers
of his office while his trial shall be pending in the
Senate.
will not be Join, resolution for by that the Con-
stitution would have TO be approved by the Presi-
dent. But they will regard il as law, and consider
the President suspended The tariff bill, with the
distribution feature is then TO be hurried tn rough
the Senate, and signed by Mr.. Mangum, who, as
President of the Senate will be the acting President
Of the United States until Mr.. Tyler is tried by the
Senate. Meantime, the constitutional President
will retain his seat, although not recognized the
Chief Magistrate by the wing majority of Congress.
The Madlsonian further intimates that duplicate
Cabinet will be appointed, and Governor DORIS at
tempt TO overrurn the constituted authorities of
State is 10 be tined upon the Federal Government.
Now we had the particulars of this same sup
posed plot from our correspondent at Washington
several days go, but they were given with such
air of doubt and uncertainty his part, as to rem
der their publication a matter Of questionable pro-
prlety, and even now, with the authoritative cor
roboration Of the acknowledged organ of the Ad.
minisration, the whole thing seems Incredible
The hostility of the Clay faction in Congress is I'M
relenting and unquenehable, but they cannot be
blinded by personal malignty or party malice as
to hope for success in project so monstrous
Their infatuation about bank and distribution
might stimulate them TO the commission of any act
OF usurpaton outrage, il promised to accom-
plsh their objects, but the hopeful scheme exposed
above IS incapable of execution and absurd in itself
majority of the House of Representatives is CON-
petent to impeech the Chief Magistrate and upon
such impea chment he must be tried by the Senate
but is 1t 10 be supposed that his SUSPENSION mean
time, is contemplated by the constitution The
constitution says the President shall be removed
upon impeachment for and conviction Of certain
enumerated offences. He can be removed upon
conviction only. Can he be suspended and thu
functions and faculties of his high office devolved
upon another, by vote of the House of Repre-
sentatlves! The superstition is preposterous. Lei
such exposition be given 20 the constitution, and
our form OF government Is not worth one straw. The
executive-a coordinate branch Of the government
"a branch independent and absolute in its own
stitutional sphere is at the mercy Of an Academia
majority of the House, and may be rendered null
hty at any moment
serious attempt TO carry out the design charged
upon the wings by the Madsonian, and which ha,
no doubt been entertained by many inconsidera,e
and hotheaded men, would infalbly convulsc thi
country from one end TO the other. II is impossible
10 contemplate the consequences of such move
msnt without shuddcring. No reputable man in
the nation dare avow his belief that John Tyler has
pccN guilty Ol clllcr Oi
in the Constitution as deserving impeachment and
this people will never permit unscrupulous ant
desperate faction to drive their chief magistrate
from the executive chair for single day, promote
the unworthy purposes of party.
The wings dare not undertake it, The attempt
would bring upon them universal execration-never
ending infamy, and Mr. Tyler would be elected
President in 1874. by reclamation
------
Public Meeting at Military Hall, Bowcry.
twill be seen by an advertisement in our columns
that meeting is called to be held this evening, a
the Military Hall, Bowery, of those persons friendly
to the administration of President Tyler, and al,
ready to give him manly and liberal support a
the execution of his official duties
This is the proper manner of calling meeting
and il will, no doubt, bring together vast number
who disguised with the proceedings of the ma
jority in congress, and determined support the
patriotic measures of the President. The attempts
made in congress TO embanass his administration
has created universal disgust throughout the coun
try, and the people now rayins in their strength
10 support him. The question to the candidate
for the next Presidency is not TO be agtated TO
night. TINS is a meeting of men Of all parties, de-
mocrats and wings, who mean TO defend and sup
port Mr. Tyler against the unwarraned attacks o
the majority in congress. The reaction in favor OF
the President in this city is without parallel. Al
feel that he has been suspected without cause, anC
traduced and villifed without measure, and in
style shocking alike to the charities of opinion
the decencies of civilized society The people be-
gin to understand the object of these reviers of the
President, that il s either crafty the mallgnity
disappointed ambition, or 10 crush an honest mar
who Is IN the way of intriguing and managing poll
tto,a w.
try and its glorious institutions rally this evening.
at the Military Hall, at eight o'clock, and make
demonstration not to be mistaken, in favor OF ho ]
nest John Tyler. |
