inec for Attorney UeAsral Of Marylandssx-
plai,atory 10 tllat portion of his speech at
the democratic cdlsrsnfffn relating to the inn-
peachment movement, Mr.. Jones produtes
the following fem file record Of the Con
.yention which fTatbed the constitution ofsshe
United States. Every candid reader will
agree with him that it is impossible to read
the constitution in the light of this record
and maintain that Congress has any right to
suspend the President from office peilding
his trial on impeachment:
st'I In the Conyention of 1887 it was moved
that persons impcachcd be suspended from
their offices until they he tried and acqnit-
ted" Mr.. Mads,n objected, and said -
The President is made too independent al
ready on the Legislature by til. power OF

impeachment by the other. The intermcdi

THE Souri, TwENrY YEARs HENcK. The
New York Tribune Of recent date says:
There are r. 000, 900 Of people in the
South, whereof Il, least 8, 600 O00ave whites
There is ample room there for 5O,OD0,O0O
more, and crowds are fncking in---all of
them whites. Europe is sending u full
thousand day, and the South proffcrs them
chcat land, genial climate, and clnploy-
-ncnt for every sort Of industrial capacity -
Now that good harvest has delivered the
South from famine, and her reconstruction
is III rapid progress, there is no region ION
earth that should attract 50 may Immigrants.
Twenty years hence We will have rs. 000.-
600 TO 30 600 900 of people, whereof the
blacks will pvbahly number 5000. 600
Unless all THE laws which have hitherto
governed the increase Of population are sub
verified. the whites the South must increase
faster than the blacks four to one. Not that
tie blacks will fail to increase also, but they
are nowise recruited by Immigration, and
cannot be. Africa sends forth no voluntary
enigrants: the slave trade is on its last legs
and no negroes are coming to this country
from any quarter. How. then, is it possible
that the four million of blacks in this coun-
try should overhear the 5000, 900 of whites
in the South, with the millions on the point
of flocking thither

names Of the members of Congress when he
was first elected to that body, but one re

companions Of his youthful days. he (Mr
Brchanam) was the only one left, and that
now he looks more to the nast than the I'll

the wisdom Of those who lived in the earlier

himself to the following effect: Regarding

he would resist it with all the power which
