Delaware tribune. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1867-1877, 1867-10-31

The Republican State Central Committee
of Pennsylvania have issued an address,
which, in reference to the recent elections,
states the following facts =
1t appears that the total vote cast in 1866
exceeded that of 1865, LA, $780, and that the
total vote Of 1867 falls short of the vote Of
1866, 62, 500. -.
On an examination Of the details it further
appears that the decrease this year is 40, no
on the republican vote of 1866, and de-
cline Of only $4,000 on the Democratic vote
of 1866. Or, in other words, there We're
over 5000 more Republicans who did not
90 the polls at the late election than there
were Democrats. There are eight counties
in the State, viz: Allegheny, Bradford,
Crawford Erie, Lancaster, Philadelphia,
Schuylkil and York, in every one Of which
more Republican voters remained at home
than We're required to elec, Judge Williams,
and in both Alleghenyand Philadelphia there
were more than four times as many absen
tees as were needed to give us the State.
In no county except Philadelphia and Forest
(he latter by chance of boundary line) did
either party increase the vote of last year.
II is hoped these plain figures will teach
Republicans the simple but important lesson
that u mere numerical majority of voters
will not carry an election unless they are at
the polls and vote on election day. General
apathy caused by an apparent failure to ap-
preciate the Importance of the contest, is
The primary cause Of our defeat. Besides
this, we had side issues and local difficulties
to contend with, sufficient in themselves TO
destroy us.
We lost votes in many places by reason of
the legislation of last session, and on the
apprehension of negro suffrage and in Phi
ladelpha on the questions of city taxation,
and what is known as the Sunday car ques-
ton, and by sundry frauds. And worse
than all these, our friends there nominated
a ticket. for city offices not acceptable to our
people, mainly because it had no soldiers
upon il. The soldiers themselves, TO their
credit be it recorded, stood up mantnlly TO
their principles, and voted with us. as here
tofore But large numbers of their friends
would not support the ticket; and in every
Republican precinct in the city there were
from fifteen to one hundred and fifty Of oul
friends who refused to vote. Thus we lost
Philadelphia, and consequently the State.

defeated this compound wickedness and
now, in the example Of Tennessee, we an
ticipate the speedy redemption of all the
States that were led into rebellion, and the
complete salvation of the national credit
and revenue.
But you should be controlled by even
higher motives. You should remember
that six millions of Union men in all the
South, white and black, look to you for sue
cor and for encouragement. Shall these,
your friends during all the dark hours OF
the war, loyal when the intelligent and
wealthy of their section were proving their
disloyalty In deadly battle--shall these, the
saviors and sentinels of Union soldiers. the
guardians and defenders of the Union flag,
be remanded to the tender mercies OF the
original traitors, and be reminded in the
midst of their sufierings that the Republic
cans of the North contributed to their second
betrayal2 Do you give no thought to the
thousands of white Unionists in North Caro-
lima, Alabama, Virginia, and the other unre-
constructed States? You must decide be-
tween the men who supported and finally
saved the Republic and those who toicd
through protracted and bloody war TO ac-
compish its destruction. From the moment
the accidental President deserted the former
and Joined the latter the hope Of giving 10
treason the control of the Government was
revived, and nothing will be left undonc to
effect that consummation.

The Presidency.

Something has been said in the dispatches
to the press about an article which appeared
in the New York Tribune in regard to the
Presidency There may be people, there
fore, who would like to see it, and ior this
reason, and not because we consider it OF any
great moment, we produce 1t. 1t is not
written in that clear style which usually
characterizes Nh. GREELEYs utterances. 1t
is, in fact, bunging piece of composition.
The intention undoubtedly is to convey the
impression that General Grant is not sound
on the leading principles of the Republican
partwz,If not sound, he will not OF course
be tie Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency-he may not be any how. But inc
Tribune fails to furnish evidence oil Grants
unsoundness. We do not forget that last
spring, when MIR. Greeley was sowing
discord in the party, and conservative Re
publicans were, i'm consideration Of public
patronage, playing into the hands of An
drew johnson, Grant stood side by side
with Stanton, pointed out dangers ahead
and prevailed ubon Congress to hold mid
| summer session. The wisdom of that pol
| icy has since been made apparent 1t
would have been still better if Congress had
remained in session. We may also remark
that public men in whom the loyal people
| have confidence, and whose radicalism nc
one doubts, are satisfied that Gen. Grant Ii
true to the prime pies Of the Republican
party, including impartial sulferage ant
that lie fully indorses the Congressiona
plan of reconstruction. But for all this ht
may not be the choice of the beople. Eigh
or nine months must elapse before the as
sembling ofthe National Convention. Mean
time people will think and discuss-an'
when the time comes they will be prepare
to act intelligently. While we dc. not wis
to prejudice any one for or against me-
spoken of in connection with the Presidency

Hon. William Lawrence, of Ohio, publi-
shed, in the September number of the Ameri-
can Law Register, an article on the subject
Of impeachment, taking the following posi-
tions
lst. That sit is absurd to say that impeach-
ment is here mode ofprocedure for the pun
shment of crime, when the Constitution de-
clares its object to be removal from and dis
qualification TO hold office, and that g the
party convicted shall, nevertheless, be liable
and subject to indictment, trial, judgment, and
punishment, according 10 law, for the crimes.
I'd That the clauses of the Constitution
comforting Jurisdiction do not limit impeach
ment to crimes or misdemeanors."
ID. That the express declaration in section
4, article ., s'That the President, Vice Presi-
dent, and all civil officers of the United States
shall be removed from office on impeach-
ment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery,
or other high crimes and misdemeanors,
only made it imperative upon conviction
| ''that they shall be removed from Office"
4. That il these words do limit iurisdi-
ton, then parliamentary usage is to be look
ed to for the definition of the words 6 high
crimes and misdemeanors
| 5th That "our fathers adopted a Consti-
tuition under which official malteasance and
nonfeasancc, and, in some cases, misfea
sance, may be the subject Of impeachment,
although not made criminal by act of Con-
gress, or so recognized by the common law
Of England, or of any statute of the Union.
They adopted impeachment as a means of
| removing men from office whose miscon
duct imperits the public safety and renders
them unfit to occupy official position"
| 9th. That the word s'IAisdemeanor," g in
the parliamentary sense as applied to Off
GERS, means maladministration or miscon-
duct not necessarily indictable."
7th. That an act ma be impeachablc
without violating positive law.
Sth, That the indiscriminate veto of all
bills by the President would be one ground
of impeachment.
9th. That Chief Justice Chase decided in
the Mississippi case, last winter, /" that
failure to perform official duty is impeacha-
bic, without reference to its indictable char
acter or the motives therefor"
10th. That ''the result is that an impeach-
able high crime or mlsdemeanor is one in
its nature or consequence subversive OF some
fundamental or essential principle of govern
mcnt or highly preiudical to the public in
| terest; and this may consist of violation
of the Constitution, of law, of ar official oath,
or of duty by an act committed or omit
ted; or without violating positive law, by
the abuse of discretionary powers from i'm
proper motives, or for an improper purpose.

No one in the country has been truer to the
cause of the Union than Governor Brownlow, and
no one could have been more successful in put

of loyalty; for the sacrifices that he suffered for
adherence to principles; for the efficient service
he rendered as Chief Magistrate of Tennessee, he
Is to be applaudcd, and we are glad that the Leg
stature honored him with seat in the Senate oi

people. No one need put himself to the trouble
TO inquire how he will vote on any question Affect

It is objected to him by many that his style i
