the case. The provisions of the consti-
tuition defining how the Congress must
be composed are exceedingly plain ana
susceptible of but one Interpretation.
No State can have less than one repre-
sentative nor less nor more than two
Senators An act of Congress apportions
to the several States the number of rep
resentatives to which each State is emit
tied according to its population. If the
Senators and representatives Of any
State voluntarily absent themselves and
refuse to participate in the proceedings OF
Congress, their absence does not affect the
validity of the acts done by those who
remain. But if the Representatives ana
Senators are excluded, forcibly ana
against their will, from participation in
the work of the legislative body, the
men who hold possession of the capitol
and exclude their fellows, in violation
of the Constitution of the United States,
are not, in any legal sense, entitled to
act and be regarded as the Congress.
And when such body of men assumes
to itself the high prerogatiye of arraign-
ing, trying and deposiug the President of
the United States, it commits such an
act of usurpation and treason as will
Justify the officers of the law in dis
persirg the unlawful assemblage and
arresting and furnishing the offenders
1t is idle to suppose that the President
will respect summons from such
body, or submit to be impeached by
such tribunal. The radicals may as
understand this at once.
