THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE CALLED IN COUNCIL

We present brief extracts from few of
the leading journals of the country, demand
inc a session of Congress in July. Had we
the space, we might fill several columns with
the same material The following will suf
flee, however, to show which way the wind
blows:
(From the n. Y. Herald)
Congress must meet in July. 1t must
meet with the resolute will to carry on the
movement, now greater and more necessary
than ever, of impeaching and removing An
drew johnson from the Executive chair. If
it does not do this, then the war will have
been in vain 1t must throw away and
trample upon all pitiful pleas, all such mis-
erablc arguments as its committees have
concerned themselves with-pantry cases,
pardon plunder, corruption and stealing
1t must not become the Presidents protec
tor by diverting the national gaze to such
infinitely little matter. 1t must 60 straight
to the mark-boldly, fairly, openly, in the
ewes OF the nation and the world-and i'm
peach him for the high crime and misde-
meanor of a usurpation of power; OF the ex-
ercise of authority against the law; OF con-
spring with his Cabinet to render null and
in operative laws the energetic and honest
enforcement of which was vitally necessary
peace and welfare of the country On these
broad issues he must be impeached and re-
moved: and it must be done this summer,
or it will be too late; for the President now
has the whole game in his hands, and needs
only time He can appoint to civil office in
the South or have appointed whom he plea
ses. His creatures can do what they will
There is no military control. Commanders
cannot remove State officers, and the next
thing we shall hear will be that the State,
officers are debating their power to remove
the commanders. Conflict is inevitable, and
Congress must meet to determine by its ac-
ton which side shall prevail.
From the N. Y Tribune)
Congress should assemble in July and ad
dress itself again to reconstruction. We
must make this bill SO plain that even Stan
hery may understand it, and so comprehen-
sive that the President cannot escape its cx-
ecutiOn. We regret that the Administra-
ton mas forced another issue upon the coun-
try. We must promptly meet it.
From the Philadelphia Press.)
The people now without excitement, be-
cause conscious of their own strength and
determination, call for action. The entire
press OF the country, excepting only insula-
ieo Democratic journals, which long since
nave forgotten to throb with the popular
TIeart, demand July session of Congress-
Even the n. Y. Herald joins in the cry, and
ih'imates impeachment as one of its conse-
qoences. We do not doubt that next month
Will see our legislators in Washington. Vigi-
idnce Is part of their duty.
