tiEHEAcHlNe rH1 ffnsl lnESTs---I The Boston Com
nso',usalfh, Senator saainers organ, is extremely
bitter upoo the Presidsnt, and even goes 50 far
as to give place " an article proposing his i'm
peachment. tclosiHF fierce PHILIPPE, it says:
There should be chiyalry somewhere, enough
to fight The, President and bis Cabinet, one and
all, to tbe death, and pluck the spoil ontof their
teeth. Shame on then, one and all on JOhnson, !.
who has basely betrayed those who placed him
in power, and the negroes to Whom be offered
himself as Noses on Seward on Stanton, on
the whole set Who have not the honor 70 resist
him and failing Ia success, TO abandon aud 4slp
tetHRseek AiWi sld-alas,. alasl-shams on the
whole North, who not only permit tor one mo-
ment tAis wrong 10 60 on, but actually hesitate
to drraign thIir tafaH0us agents at Hashhl7toH.
The S. F. Flag takes up the keynote thus
sounded, and calls Justify for the removal of
President johnson, on the charge of treason grow
ing out of the disbanding of the military without
The authority of Congress. These two papers
may fairly claim to represent the folly and fanati

they are the mouth pieces are allowed to rule, we
may calculate upon an agitation even greater than
anything known in the history of the war If

tructive on principle, that man is Charles Sum
ner, and to carry out his purpose he will stop
at no measure, however violent, During the
lifetime of President Lincoln he was known
in Washington circles as the bitterest enemy of
that great and goo man, and now that he is out
Of the way, all the pent-up malice of the arch
agitator is directed against his constitutional
successor. The signs of the times clearly indi-
cate troubles ahead, and looking to the safety
Of the Government and the perpetuity Of repub-
licau institutions, good men, discarding pastdif-
ferences, should be prepared to, unite in a vgor-
GUS support of the President in the exercise of
his constitutional powers.

THE WAR UPoS THE PREslBEST.-The list of
radical complaints thus far made out against the
President, and to be pressed before Congress, is
as follows:
LIST. Refulal to extend negro suffrage.
I 3D. The appointment of SeceSsionists as Pro-
yisiona Governors.
Sd The free exercise of the pardoning power,
wherein were included many who should have
been hanged.
4th. The Introduction of arms into the South
ern States.
5th. The disbanding Of colored regiments.
9th, The refusal to- order a sweeping couis-
cation.
7th The restoration Of the Southern churches
sth. The refusal to arraign Lee, the leader OF
the rebel hosts, after he had been indicted for
treason.
9th The refusal to try Davis by a military
court ..-.
10th. The apathy shown in the enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine as applicable to Mexico.
Such is the list so far, and there is no dispnt-
ing thatit is quite formidable but the President
is ready, not only for the opening gun, but for
all tho,terribo fire that is expected to follow.
That the conservative masses-those who love
their country and their whole country-will sus-
tain him in solid column, there can be no ques-
ton, and this is all the President asks
DoDGnG THE QuRsTIoS. Gibbs, in
his message to abe Oregon Legislature, makes
no mention of the proposed annexation of Walla
Walia Considering that the question is being
very generally discussed throughout the State
and that the proposition everywhere meets with
favor, the omission is certainly surprising, and
can only be accounted for in the suppOsitiOn
that there is a q cat 10 the meal-bag." 1t is said
that certain of Oregon's great men fear that the
annexation Of Walla Walla will interfere with
their chances for prefermeut, and rather than
forego individual advancement, they hope to de-
feat measure that brings to the, State valua-
bic territory and with it a large accession both
in wealth and populotiOn. This mOle-like
policy might be expected to influence men of
small calibre, but VIC must confess that from
Governor Gibbs We expected something more in
accordance vitb the spirit of enlightened states
tnanship.
