CbVODE'S SMELLING C0lIHLT2EE.'
I'm our issue of week before last, we published
the Message Of President RvcnAaAv, protesting
against the one-sided, Par;izan procedure d
trying the Executive By Committee headed,
directed and moulded by his accuser. Tie
President has acted maalally and properly IA
insisting on bis rights. He does MT shrink
from investigation; he does not ask that BIS pub
lie conduct shall be screened from the scrutiny
of those who have the rish. to examine it he
only denies that his Gccasar, tte nan te5o IN
diets hin, has the right 10 81, in judgment uPon
bis actions. He is ready fer fair trial, in The
manaer prescribed by the Constitution. Let
bis enemies bring on their Impeachment and
try him at the bar oflhe Senate, as the Constr
tu!lon provides. Let make their Charges
specifically against hin, if they have any 70
make, instead Of endeayoring BY sneakiag insin-
cations and ambiguous hints and inusndoss, to
damage the character Of a pure and innocent
man. They are defed Let them 5rine their
impeachment if they dare!
Cdyode's @Smeling Committe, " as It is aplly
termed, Is fast failing into disc7edit even wita
the Black Republicans. The New York Tri-
--~s -e-~.s...:->, .L.-,,- - 49,
ground" The fact is that Greedy, who knows
that the Fremont men spent 500, 900 10 carry
Pennsylvania, in 1886, is getting frightened at
Covode's greeuness and audacity. He is afraid
lest the Democrats turn the tables on the far
smelling John, and show up the corrupt schemes
OF the Black Republicans. We give Greely's
article entire IN this connexion, and would re-
spectfully suggest that the Bedford Abolition
organ copy IT as a commentary on the col |
umns OF stuff it publishes concerning Congress
sionai Investigations The "Rspublicans"
hereabouts swear BY Greedy will they b. con-
sisent enough to endorse him also when he |
speaks as follows!
From the y. I. Tribuse.l
"RlGHr AGAlNsT PRERoGATivE.-Th House
Committee OF Investigation, whereof Mr.. Co.
yode. Of Pennsylvania, is Chairman, insists, we
learn, that Mr.. Augustus Scbell, of this city, /
shall produce and deliver lis. 10 his possession
OF contributors in this city to The fund raised /
here 10 carry Pennsylvania for Buchanan al TIE /
October election in 1856. Tho Committee, il |
is understood, propose to invoke the power Of
the House to coerce hI.. Scheli 70 produce The /
paper demanded. fthey do this, We trust the /
House will pause aud consider wel before Ia
king the action required. Mr.. Scbell, though |
now Collector Of tnls Port, was private c..i- /
zen in 1856 those who contributed thu money
he raised Tor the Pennsylvania canvass were
likewise mainly private citizens. /, is not =
ven 10 evidence that tn money was used IN
properly, though we presume d good part Of ii
was there is of course no shadow Of proof That
il was contributed BY public officers, or that il /
came, however circul'ously, out of the Federal
Treasury. By what right then, under what
color OF reason, DO the Committee undertake to
constTaia Mr.. Schel to give up Ih,s private m
