ington special says: The republicans here e1-
psct the cabinet xsll be unanimous in support Of
the threatened Presidential comp de tat and they
seriously fthink that tho aspect of affairs is
fraaght with great danger. They fear that CEN
| gress may convene in bold defiant spirit and
adhere to the declared policy of extreme men,
| viz: impeachment and suspension of the Presi-
| dent during the trial; and, since the elections,
more than ever, they, believe that Mr. johnson
will rceist and attempt with force, if necessary,
to maintain his constitutional right to hold his
| Office until Judgment after trial. Others argue
that the effect Of the elections has been to settle
these grave questions and that impeachment will
/ find fewer advocates at the next session Of con-
gress than were counted in the last sri

under the authority Of the constitution and upon
the principles of the declaration of independence,
no state shall have power to prohibit citizens of
