Mr.. Ashley who has introduced
the question of imE eachment of the
President into the house ofrepresen-
tativcs stands before the country
censured by resolution of congress
for dishonesty in accepting bride
for his vote. OF course his indig-
nation against the president knows
no bound. 1t is said of John Han.
cock by English historians, that his
zeal in the cause of American Inde-
;pendance was owing to the fact that
he was a heavy defaulter to the gov
ernment of the mother country. And
may not the fact that the men try
ing to impeach the president and
revolutionise the government of the
u. 8. be largely attributed to the
fact, that if its constitution and
form Of government remains un-
changed, they are at no distant day
liable to be tried and punished for
their violations of the supreme law
of the land under the plea Of militia
~, individual, and party necessity.
