The National Intelligencer speaking of the
threatened Impeachment Of the President, says:
-s'Instead. of the Radicals talking about I'M
peaching the President, the more appropriate
and natural thing tor them is to Introduce
another amendment to the Constitution, to
abolish The Office Of President, and let them
require the Southern States to tratify this
amendment, as well as the other amendment,
before they shall be permitted to be represent,
ed 10 Congress" Certainly, if the want to
''amend," they will require the Southern
States to "ratify" But if they will only have
patience, an amendment" may not be neces
sary If the leaders put in u man of their own
stripe" they will be perfectly willing to give
him unlimited power, to carry out their purpo-
ses,s and will magnify his powers and authori'y1
to any extent, They think as things now are
that the President is an officer whose rights,
duties, and power are very limited indeed; -
But IL be were of the fright stamp - they
would make him the ''be-al and the end all'
of the. Government. He could, in that case,
do their work, quicker and harder than even
Congress does now - 1870 80, 80.
