Resolved 6y ne Scrcnih Ward Republican Assoeia-
lion Of Washington d. C., That as loyal and patFi-
otto citizens, long resident at the national capt.
tai and therefore well acquainted with the moral
and political character OF Andrew johnson, PrcF-
ident not by accident, but, as VIC believe, by de-
sign, in causing the murder Of his predecessor,
of finnumcrable @ Nigh crimes and misdemeanors, in
that he is d hbertihc; 4 htunkatdi and n traitor,
and has turned the White House into place of
assignation for strumpcts, drunkards, and trail
tors, to the exclusion OF virtue, temperance and
loyalty; In that he has sought to make loyalty
dishonorablc, by removing patriotic soldiers and
citizens, and to make disloyalty honorable, by
nlling such places with ayowcd and unrcpcntant
rebels; In that he has melted riot and murder in
the South, by encouraging rebels to massacre
loyal men for devotion to their countryj In that
he has prostratcd the patronage OF the Govern
9 o 'hS he has the
thieves and robbers, for the avowcd purpose of
destroying the national credit, large portion OF
such steal ings being used ih the elections, to de-
feat the loyal CAUSE; for these and for many
other high crimes and misdcmcdnors which might
be enumerated, and which are known to every
loyal and patriotic citizen, we therefore earn
estly urge Of Congress the immediate impcach-
office.

the adoption Of the above resolutions. There
were here only half dozen white men, and the
remahuer !aoont gsl mere eoiored men, and these
this matter OF impeachment. 1t was too great n
subject for such. piymies % these colnrrd men.
natter but God forbid that they should aid in
this movement.

which was discussed:
Whereas the impeachment committee having
made their report to Congress relative to that
matter in all OF Its details Therefore,

diEniea s sSH and Truthful and viii np be- read NnS Sy
the loyal millions throughout the country with |
Joyous hearts, and will show the whining con- |
they a Q the cmanation OF hypocrites who prob
