To strip the Executive Of all power
and TO concentrate in the hands Of the
political jugglers of Congress every
attribute which belongs to strength and
action, is tbs problem now being worked
out by The numbering Jupiters Of the
New York press. For the nOnce they
regard Gen. GRANT as the autOmaton OF
Congress, and, therefore, that his will is
law. The President has committed an
offence, more u~npardonable than witch
craft. In disegarding and disobeying the
will of his master, the selected champion
and representative Of congressional die
tation, as they interpret it. After pour
ing upon Mr.. JOHNSON several vials OF
wrath, the New York Times concludes
with the solemn declaration that " at
no period since the termination Of the
war have affairs worn an appearance 90
suggestive Of difficulty and danger" The
Times either affects much panic or feels
rea atsrm at the situation, when ii
proceeds, in other paragraphs, to depre-
cate the ap~prehensions of its Radical
contemporaries in connection with politi-
cal events.
The Times suggestiyely remarks, in
connection with these separations Of
" violence and collision" which dance
before the im~aginatiOns of its cO-work-
ers in mischief, cit is fearful matter
to talk loosely about.n These journals
well know that it is a very important
matter to clear their skirt. Of the sin
which they know must sooner or later
follow from their v%illainous teachings.
"Hnci illa lachrymae." They make
much ado about it, and pretend to have
great horror in contemplating the picture.
As all adopts in State crimes have done
before them, they are the injured party
and their victims are the criminals.
They murder the young princes in the
\ tower Represented by the Constitution
in the capitoD and then cry out
that they are bewitched and per-
secuted with devilish Vaccinations, by
their enemies. Whoever stands as the
greatest obstacle to their guilty purposes
is the most wicked and must first be dis.
patched.
Thence the Times begins. by ascribing
every evil that befalls the country to the
President, even insinuating that the rise
in the gold market has been caused by
his action, and giving the warning that
the bulls avail themselves of the panic
to "toss up" the premium. To what
does the Times then conduct the argu-
ment? Why, Mr.. JOHNSON must he
got rid Of. Discoursing thus of the grow
ing feeling for impeachment, it only rep
resents the great Radical idea, as it crops
out in nearly all their organs:
If we can believe half that comes to
us, the demand for Impeachment has
grown immensely during the last week
or fortnight. Mr.. Washburne, who is
always credited As being Grants right
hand man, and who is now with him at
Washington, is reported TO have de-
clared that the only hope of the country
lies in getting rid OF President johnson.
Butler feels perfectly sure Impeachment
is coming, and he has no doubt that
congress will adopt his scheme, suspend
ing the president from office as soon as
charges Of Impeachment are Introduced
to the senate-which, it is supposed, will
be before the close Of the year. It is but
Little over two months now till congress
will again meet, and there seems no
likelihood of its temper being less violent
or its measures less determined than
they were at the last regular session, or
at the extra session OF July. We shall
continue to ~deprecate impeachment,
however, except as the very last resort
against the very greatest peTils; for
under it the politics and credit of the
cnnntry would rock with a violence for
which we have no precedent in the past.
