Mr.. Lincola would b vesy psempely
impeashsd. He has brokep the oath
administered 70 him on his ipaagaSar
tion day. He va sworn e "pressrvss
protect, and defend The Consatntion Of
the United States." But sAys The Re-
publican enthusiast il he supsrcedsd
his Constitutional limit be did % thro'
urgent msosssity, and for the good Of the
country, and therefors sh0uld not and
will not be censufed BY any one but
traitors. But hold . little there. Mr..
Lincoln had the authority 70 convene
Congress-had the power TO call it,
even before the msmbers had left
Washinptop on the 4th 81 March last,
had power % cali 4 q suv time. and 70
thus constitutiop clothe himself with

preservation and protection Of the oouu-
try. Why Wa Il not done 2 WIN
trample the Consultation under foot |
Why ignore ito exiatsncs, in order "a
prove that it ID pregnant with saving
grace, and powerful even to the putting
down Of rebellion, and the Furnishing O.
those who seeded from itf The Dem
ocratic party OF the United States be
lieve in maintaining that Coustitu tiou
1t believes in obeyine that Constitu
ton to the letter; il believes the Con
stitution to be tho founda alton Of eli civ
il and religious liberty Of this Govern
ment; it believes further. that whe,
that J,os,sdatios il tempered with. wbe,
it Is undermined and Ignored either B,
prowling traitors, with deep damuatior
in their hearts, or by ! Presideut wht
does it--ssy honestly, and with ~ cyl
single to the public weal,i 10 good caus'
to tremble for the safety and perpetuit,
Of the supsrstructurs.
The Democratic party will not hest
tate to stand firmly by the administra
ton ia this crisis 50 long as the admin
istration stands by the Constitution
and whether M. Lincoln does 90 or no.
and We claim he Aos not, tho Democrat
ic party, to q man-to the last drop O
blood and tho last tarthine Of treasure
will stands by tho Goyornment-wil
never lay down their arm. exceps i,

To all probability the .pecial .e,sio,
Of Congress soon to be convened. vii
legalise the Prs.ideut'. .ots. and aoai,
place him within the circle Of the Con
stitutiou; and the country will be- call
ed upon to overlook his false a.,umptio,
Of power. Will it be done For th,
sake Of the country, which the Demo
cratic party holds nearer and de.re
