" IJe Gre ia tie n1tftS6 o. q fer0tattoR-Qs

questions as a Bank Of the United States,
the Tariff, and kindred subiects-and
the constitutional statas of such qies-
tons could 50 arouse the mind and APP
prehensions OfSenators and thecountry
then,-and counsel them to pause and
reflect fer the safety Of the Republic
and the cause of constitutional liberty
in this land-hoW much more imDortant
are these considerations for the people
in these times, when the very f>un-
hation stones upon which our Govern
ment is based are being removed and
crumbled under the great weight being
pressed Hnon them. Look at the pro-
ceedings of Congress for Yourselves anl
YOU need no further arguments The
Congress OF the United States is bring
ing the Government to destruction
boldly declaring itself the Government
and the PEOPLE it arrogantly steps
forward 10 cleave down the Executive,
and to set at naHght the solemn expo
sition Of the Constitution and laws o.
the country-as declared by the high
est judicial tribunal Of the faad-that
tribunal expressly provided by the
Constitution to settle and quiet doubtful
and controversial questions Of law, &c.
Why! Senator Howe, of Wisconsin.
boldly rose in the Senate and eXeitedlv
thanked God that Congress now Chat
is the Radical majority,l has power
enough to manage and to take care Of
both the President and the Supreme
Court That is--they will impeach
the President-and the Judges too-or
spote exercise Of their power-so as to
fill their places by men for the occasion
tools to register the edicts of despot-
ic Congress-instead of Judges to decide
great questions of constitutional right
and liberty. We have neither space nor
time to pursue this subject this week
but we mean to resume it-and ask the
calm. cool, deliberate consideration Of
the people to the subject. We must stop
and reflect. We must take these sub
jects to our firesides, and solemnly con-
slider them-as men Of sense-as patriots
anxious for the public good. These
matters concern Us all in our present re-
lations, and in our future condition. We
can no longer play the partizan. we
must rise above such a paltry being.
The cry of "rebel,' and "disloyal
man. has played out-those who utter
such hoWlings most vociferously, and
claim for themselves such ,mctious
loyalty, are giving the lie to their
professions by their own conduct. They
are generally a set of small-beer poll
ticians and boobies who indulge in this
everlasting clatter-stnd who themselves
are whitened sepulchres" full of "rot-
tenness.' The man who is not able to
rise to the discussion of a great question
had better be sill ant-and especially
if he assume to be "teicher in
Israel" / am a Onion man, srys the
blatant "dooby," and I am for hanging
old Andy Johnson, because he wishes
the "rebel States'' reunited to :" the
loyal States. "That is so-is it not dear
reader! Now common sense man who
most deserves the halter-a President
who seeks to bring peace to his country
and reunion to these distracted States
or vindictive negro worshipper like
Sumner, who denounces him for doing
what every true Union man and patriot
desires him to do. That is the plain
question, and you can reflect upon it.
The President acts the patriot, and is
above mere partizan-the other is a
bitter, vindictive, narrow-minded dema-
gogue, seeking revenge, and stab
bling people in the back whom he fears
to meet face to face on the floor of
the Senate. Out upon hypocrites-w
