We are told President johnson is d
be impeached by vote of a majorit,
of the Representatives of tlNsRty-sL
States, after Brooks, Voorhees,, Bald
win, &c, are removed. The thus
impeached President is to he brought
before Rump Senate of 52 members
(26 States, mot 33, as the Constitu-
ton requires, SO States, and of these
52 Senators to try the impeachment,
two are made by the process of illegal
and tyrannical election of Senator
Stockton, from New Jersey-Stockton
being against the impeaching, and the
substituted man for L. The moment
the House thus arraigns the President,
that moment, Butler tells us, twenty
seven of these fifty-two Senators thus
made, may imprison the President
Then, anybody in the Senate, whom
these twenty seven Senators vote to
make a President Chandler, or
Wade, or Sumner, becomes President
of the United States. This Chandler,
or Wade, or Sumner then becomes
commander in chief of the army and |
navy of the United States. The regu-
lar army, the West Pointers, ETC.,
then, il not obedient to Chandler, or
Wade, or Sumner, "are to be swept
from the face of the EARTH" by a
Butler, or the Banks, or the
Schencks, or the Schurzes, etc.
Now all this sppears to be avery
small affair if you are to believe But

entirely the fact that the manner of
proceeding in such cases is carefully

1t will thus be seen that it is not so mi mi
sy matter to impeach the President

cannot be done by carrying out the
