In this support for the President for whom

4 tew weeks ago the dominant party in
Congress succeeded, by two-thirds Of two
thirds OF that body. . thing not contempla-
ted in the Constitution, in passing the Civil
Rights bill over the President veto. They
doubtless would have attempted TO inlpeach
him; not in the Constitutional sense of the
word, for the House of Representatives and
Senate as now cor stituted, has no power Of
impeachment. Iwo-thirds Of the whole
Senate must mite to remove the President.
The Constitution proclaims that the Senate

In the House, to be brought forward at the
proper time. to make the Chief Justice
President in case Of the disability Of Presi-

the scheme Of. the Internal Things in the s.

If the Democratic party, and those who
support the President, shall succeed in car
rying the Congressional elections, the coun-
try is safe, otherwise it is lost, Chase will be,
come President by action of Congress, will
be elected in 1867, and re reflected in 1868,
and be succeeded by legitimate descendants
as heirs to the imperial Republic OF Amer

long as he remains President. He Will re-
Fer altthe acts Of the so-called Congress to
