Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1866-10-22

THE lMPEJCABLE PRESIDENT, AND |

THE IMPROBABLE PRESIDENT, AND HIS
JOB 0MFORTERS.
There seems to be prevalent opinion that
the President, if impeached, will not submit
to the ordeal. But he is already pIecluled
by his own official acts, from denying the
power of Congress in the premises. He has
signed the bills passed by congress, with Ger
tain exceptions, that do not bear ON the sub
Ject in controversy, and received his salary
nut OF appropriations made by Congress and
then, his refusal 90 acknowledge the c0nstitu>
tional authority OF this au- ust body, would he
10y itself glaring and gross infractiou of the
Constitution.
1t would in fact, be equivalent to felo desc
--cied by his own hands. 1t would M ke his
impeachment as brief an affair, as Il drum
head Court Martial expulsion, and the Rogue's
March.
Tie may anticipate the countenance and sup.
port OF the msname1 Democracy but his ex.
rebel friends can tell him, that he would lean
upon broken reed, as tuey have leaned from
due experience. The history OF the party 10
this State, is iraught with instruction to such
lying in wait traitors, as Andrew Johnson.
Several pro rebel Volunteer Compan es were
raised in Delaware in 1861, two OF them in
the City Of Wilmington. They We're valiant
soldiers, that marched up the hill and then
Marched down again. But unfortunately for
suddenly seized with the se'..e malady that

1.-The Rivals mysterious, curious OoAing
from the pa ms of their hands, that so weak
ened them, they could not retain a musket in
their grasp. They Thea judiciously, and wise.
ly, We think, delivered their muskets for safe
keeping, to a company OF Boys in Blue, which
they had magniiied into II Brigade in buck
ram.
ha off Of
panies, never flashed their maiden swords in
the presence of an enemy, but sedulously cul
tivated the domestcs vir ues, unti good nur
sing Ii Id restored their vire powers to their
pristine vigor, when they became the most bla
tant pestiierous demagogues in the Stale
Talked and are now talking treason, W lille they
cling to the starry flag for safety, as ten4ci US
ly as the shipwreeked mariner to floating
spar. They have never dared to commit an
overt act of treason, but press their Judas
kisses upon the star spangled banner, when
their hearts are aa far fro II it as Delaware from
Alabama.
During the residue of the rebellion, they
looked upon arms with an askant agueness,
especially when in the hands of the Boys in
Blue, even, il like the gun in the old woman's
story, they had neither load nor lock, and
would not shoot a cOpperhead or chick-n.-
And they did their utmost to deter 9th rs from
touching and handling the odious musket.-
The Treasury of the State was depleted aud
money borrowed on its credit, to check lie
patriotic ardor of our citizens. And when pc
cunisry aid was required for the Gettysburg
monument that the names of the heroic sons
of Delaware, lying in glory's bed might be iu-
scribsd upon ''stored urn - il only stirred
their alien hearts to mutiny rgainBt it.
And then their chronic hatred to the negro
the immortal negro that was not born to die
has increased tenfOld in intensity, since he has
borne arms in defence of the Union. In the
present canvass he il the burden OF their song,
and the bugbear OF their fears. They dread
thai he is about to WOO the fair dau ghters of
Delaware, as the lion woos his bride and, oh,
horror of horrors that mscegeuaton will
rear its specklei front among us
This slander upO1 the 81 Iitive and virtuous
women of Delaware is as false as exscrable,
and is evolved ~ lmaginetiot seething with
pollution. 1t has its origin in the grog-shop
and in the stews, and is caught up by the
leaders Of patty who have always evinced
Satare alacrty in pandering to tine depravel
tastes AID apps'it of the vi ger herd.
The progressive propensity OF the patty to
sing this sable song, reminds US of certain
speech or series Of spe, ,ches of the President,
portrayed upon piece o. muslin, and exhibl
| ted at the late Gettysburg anniversary OF the
| B ,ys in Blue. The were four parallel VS.
| OF eyes, about the siAe of hen eggs, and
| twenty in each row, with the Interpretation
underneath The Speech OF Andy the last.
Now il one OF our ingenious, witty and live
| ly boys in blue would only substitute lillipu
| ton negroes for eyes, in manner and form as
aforesaid upon blank piece OF muslin, We
| should have the speeches of Demoshenes the
| elder, and Demosthenes the younger--Fmired
| drops, blended into one. And hen let the
original be copied AL in6nitum, and dispersed
ovtr + the State, that the neophytes of these
| eloquent dreoans, may be Instructed to avoid
the negro as a walking pestilence, that he
| may not come between the wind and their no
bility.
Let these pure Impures 50 further South,
especially to Montgomery, and deliver their
| amag gam harangues to their late bIethern in
arms, but NOT IN battles There, the motle |
races are as thick as autumual leaves on wood
land lawn. llere it is copperheads, not cop
perlaoes that taint the moral atmospheric
| Here, mscegenation has no abiding place eX
| oept in their own warm imaginati0ns and as
| evil thoughts, proce 10 evil deeds, if such of
fences come, it is they, that will be the fithrs
of them.
Mi sled fellow. citizens give yourselves no
longer to the msgudance Of the pseudo chiv.
airy of Delaw are. They have been tried in
the fiery furnace of the Great Rebellion, and

cruoble. They are the anupodes of Cheva-
ler Bayard, Che left no descendants to 4 so
crate his name;) the Knight without fear and
with sut reproaoh, anl of the gallant Henry
the ", OF France, whose white plume waved
over the battle field, and where the contest
ragged the fercest, there it was the signal to
rally and press upon the foe.
