and we think The adags Il particularly
appropriate 30 tha senator's who will
havs 20 try thu President IN case the
House decides to plaea him Ga ttial.--
We do DOT propose IN lila Article to dis
eass the qaestian whether the President
ought to be impeaehei or not, nor do
we propose 10 inquire wheshsr the
charges made assioss hin are true or
false; bus We pEaPass to take lock a;

common sense, can the President ba tried
By the present Senate Of tia United
Stalesg Is il not Notorious fact thrs
the Senate and Senators of the Uaited
States have been continuslly violating
the Constitution OF the United States flr
The last six yaaEsf II this be fact,
then We ask, are hasitual yIolators Of

try the President upon charges OF its RI

certainly not, and as We said before,
fcou scleaes makes e3Rards % US al %
herea We think ths Senators composing
the present Senate days not attempt the
impeachment Of the Presiden1. In order
70 preye that both the House and Senate
have been constantly violating the Con.
stitusion, We introduce THAD SrErass,
who is presumed to know what both The
House Of Representatives, and the Sen
are haVe. been doing for the last six years

gross. Mr.. StsYens, in enc OF bis
speecaes upon the Tenure of 0Ees Bill,
made use of shs foIlomiug language
'fSoou after the eommeueems ns OF :hs
last session ID Congress reported bill
from the Committee Of the House Of
Representatives which contained . pro
vision prohibiting the removal ~itaoal
che consent Of the Senate. Itpsssed The
House aud vas sent to The Senate the
Senate struck 1t ous and returned il to
the House, who refused to e0ncuF il tha
amendment. The result was Commit
tee Of eopfrrsn.c, where en- animated
contest ensued. There we're seytrsE 9th.
a. quesIions 10 controversy betwees the
houses, which he House offered 10 Weld
il this could be granted. The senate
perseverisgly refused, declaring that
they would sooner lose tia bill. As
that would Illustrate all Gus lesia, Asion
il could not bs slloxed. The House
yielded, wish g warning of the evils IL
would ibaias upoa the country. Some
of the members Of the senats seemed 10
doubt their power under the Constfsu-
ton whicb they bad Just reputiatet, and
wholly outside Of which all agreed that
we were acting"
These are the msa who acknowledge
ihet they have been violating the Con
stitutiou-yss, more who Acknowledge
that they hare repudiated ii, and have
been exercising power "whollY outside"
Of 1t, Who nov propose to impssch the
President Of The United States because,
as thsq sllege, be Eas been guilty Of vi
oiating ths Consultation which they ac-
knowledge that they have repudiatss.
Oar readers must bear ia mind that
Steyeus is not alone in this repuliation

others who rudiaie IL and acknowledge
that they bare no constitutions warlant
for many Of their acts, for Stevens sats
ag agreed tha. they teere aetiae ssholly
eafsies IF The Constifuffou.
Such are the men the perjurea seoun-
drels-- who propose 10 impeaua the
President fora failure TO execute laws
