TnE IMPEACHMENT OF THE PREsIpxsr.

The INrsAcuMESr OF THE PRESIDENT -
Dir. Bingham. one Of the Ohio Congross-
man, went so far in recent speech as to
say that if reelected,
rs, help me God, I will neither give
sleep tn my eyes, nor slumber to my eye
lids, until shall have drawn bills Of i'm
peachmcnt assinst Andrew Johnson" /:
Wondell Phillips is also out for the
same thing. and he is usually emily ab'ut
six weeks ahead of his party. A few
weeks ago the impeachment Of President
Johnson was only hinted, now it is openly
svowed. Bat the question will arise, can
Congress composed of only portion
of the States imposeh President? Will
Dir. johnson consent to bo sot aside by a
northern Congress? And il the Mongrels
try it, won'tit make q muss among the
6vs-twenties? and the seven -thirtics? and
she eight-forties! and nine-iftiess &C., &s.
The question then will be, "IIow are you,
bondholders?'. "IIow arc yoa, green
backs!"

Amendments to the Com. titution.


Without fully endorsing all the state.
ments. and sentiments in the following-ex.
tract from the New York Evening Ex.
press" it contains SO much of truth peril.
nent to the pr sent state of affairs, that VIC
are glad 10 be able to lay it before oul
readers
An Ulster (N. W Radical Convention
resolved:
tThat the proposed amendment, whereby
10000 voters in the State efSouth Carolina shai
not hereafter, as now have au equal voice in the
House ef Representatives with the l4O 600 votes o
the State of Illinois, and by which every rebel in
tile former State shall no longer exert the same
power and influence in the national councils as
three loyal citizens OF York, meets not onl '
our unqualified appreciation, but that we are as.
tonished that great party should be found call
ing | self Democratic, and yet opposed to SO
democratic aprinciple and doctrine"
It is strange that, while the Constitution
Tinkers are thinking of alleged inequaIi-
ties in the Constitution, they do not think
OF real inequalities such n:
1st. The injustice of having from New
England in the Senate Of the United State.
IL United States Senators, when New
York. with larger population has only
two.
Cd. The inequality, under which four
Judges of the United States Supreme
Court. making a majority Of the seven. can
abrogate and nullify an act Of Congress a,
unconstitutional.
81. The misrepresentation Of women iu
this Government.-whereby Massachu-
setts. having more women than Oregon or
California. deprive them of their equal
rights Of representation, = Massachusetts,
having at least two Members of Congress
more than she is entitled to, if representa-
tion is founded only on voters, as proposed
for the South and not on population.
The Federal Constitution, made by our
Fathers. IS full of inequalities. Is is any
thing but Dcmocraey,-and If it is to be
tinkered at all. first let US have equal rep
rssentation and population in the United
States Senate, body which makes
Treaties, has Coordinate powers with tho
Executive in distribu ing power and PIT
r"nage, anil even has the powor to try the
President on an impeachment.
The Democracy ofthe country. it should
be understood. are not opposed to FEEDER
al Convention of al the States, called to
amend the Constitution of the United
States, but they are opposed to Rump Con-
gress, representing unly about half of the
United States Territories, amending it; and
shey oppose stopping at any half way
measures when the amendments begin
Equality must first come in the Senate of
the unitcI States, AMI then, perhaps, in
ahc Supreme Court of the United States.

annual tax o! not less than tn cents on each oh'
hundred dollars oitaxabic property throughout tha
