The discussion to which tho above reso1u-
tion give rise will be found In our report Of
cal parties Of this State-the home Of the Pres
ident elect-ham planted theznsel.xs On The 1ack-
eon ground In regard to secession. We cx-
pressed confident hope day Or two since,
that all parties In this State would assume this
position, aud We rejoice that VIC are now able
to announce It's realization: Whatever may ho
the differences Of opinion on questions purely
political, on the question Of the preservation
Of the Union, and the enforcement Of the laWe,
our people are united
Tho Chief Consplrators.
Tho proof Is overwhelming that the late
Secretary Of War has been for many months
in conspiracy with the plotters Of secession,
to provide them with ammunition and other
resources for rebellion, at the expense Of the
United State8. A gentleman familiar with MI
the details Of the army, has called our aiten-
tiou to the fact, that wherever q Northern Of
f1cer, or agent1eman Of known integrity aud
Independence Of character, Was at the head Of
bureau o. department Of the army, at Wash
ington, Floyd has contriTed to get him out Of
the way-nrging upon one "leaye of absence'
for tour of observation and inquiry in Eu-
rope; sending another to Japan upon frivo-
lons errand With the Japanese ambassadors !;
| spection at some distant point and meantime
taking advantage Of their absence to usc South
ern subordinatcs for his own reasonable plans.
Thus It is, that without remonstrance in the
several bureaus, and without suspicion on the
| part Of the public, arms and military supplies
have been concentrated within reach Of the &C.
| cessionlst4.
It Was part OF the samc deep and desperate
| game to put money into the hands Of the
| Feyolntionlsts, as well as to remunernte him.
| self In advance for his serEicesto the conspi-
| rators-andh hence the stupcndous robbery upon
| the securities Of the General Government.
Happily for tho country this arch-yillain has
been exposed and In measure foi1ed, before
the contamination Of: his plot. But Is there nc
| redress against him Us criminal! The Con'
stitution provides that the President, Vice.
/ President, and all Civil Officers Of the United
| States, shall be removed from Office on i'm.
peachment for, and conviction Of Treason,
Bribery, or other high crimes and misdemean
ors." Mr.. Floyd has put himself beyond the
| reach at fmpcachment bV resfHninv Ills Office
But he ie still "liablc and subject to indict
ment, tEial, Judgment, and punishment, &C
cording to law" If the President himself
had not been to so great an extent an accom-
| pnce Of Floyd in his criminal designs, he coulG
be at once arrested for dcfalcation and breach
Of trust Had he f1ed to England or France
he could hare been demanded under treat,
stipulatious. But In the Sonth be detlcs tht
