IMPEACHMENT.
What Results Would Follow the
Impeachment of the President.


In a recent speech at Cleveland, Jack
Hamilton discussed this question. Hear
him:
After DECLARING that the President
must and will he impeached and brought
to trial before the Senate upon the re-as-
sembling of Congress, he thus foreshad-
owed the commencement of the second
civil war: What them am asked /
can tell you part Of it The President
who holds that this is not the Congress
of the United States, but only fraction
OF it, will refuse TO accept service Of the
writ of impeachment the Senate will
declare that Andrew Johnson, being i'm
peached, can no longer exercise the
functions Of the Office of President of
the United States until he shall have
been tried and acquitted. Under the
Constitution the presiding officer of
the Senate will become the Acting
President Of the United States, and
all officers Of the Government-civil,
military and naval-will be called upon,
and it will be their duty to give ear and
to heed him, and to obey his orders.
What then2 Why, then. if Andrew
johnson should call upon his friends to
adhere to him, it will be q question for
the intelligence, patriotism, and love of
liberty of this great people TO determine
whether they will sustain their Constitu-
ton, their laws, and their Government,
or whether they will be the supple tools
in the hands Of tyrant and usurper.
[Long and loud applause.] And if any
military commander, no matter If he be
the highest in position and reputation,
shall respond to Johnson's call, and suffer
himself to be used by him, he will find
that be will then have to encounter the
whole power of the people of the great
West. and he will be unmade even more
speedily than be has been made. APP.
