word of denuhca ion u the Observation-Disclosures
admitted on tie Constitution by the States now ar
Ned in hostility against the Government. Tue
ospeman could md with logical reasoning, inHtessi-
nal laws in The conduct u tie President, bat not one
word in condemnation of those WAC openly tau,e the
Copsutiou under foot. Whatever necessity required
ihe President do 70 efOrce the law and the Gov

Cbiei-Justice. His character is pure and IN
stained. Neither cOuli he Justify the President
for increasing the regqlar army, for the object could

him impesched as unfit aud unworthy OF che place he
occui,s and deiilett in IL duties. H. when assured
that traitors threatened the Capital, and the

fOrted 10 every means ia Lis power TO preserve the
Government, be would lave deserved the execratiOn
and scorn OF every honest and TO all postety
He had done al he could 10 elevate his friend from

Senator from Indiana Bright says there are

One is in the majority; those on the other side

an occasion to raise bue-and-cry against Slavery,
under plea for the Constitution aud the Union. On
