We take the following extract from an
article in the News, commenting on the
Times article;
"Nolhing can be clearer than that the
impeachment project is the leading feature
in thorough revolution of the Govern
ment. All unparalleled men know that
the impeaohing party have sustained n
President of their own in any violation Of
the Constitution which he deemed necessa-
ny for carrying out his pledge that he
would sustain those who elected him in any
Motley they might choose TO adopt. This
was the promise made by the first sectional
President ever elected in this country, and
he adhered 10 it faithfully us long as he
lived. But there are innumerable other
evidences that the impeachment of Presi-
dent Johnson is sought, not on account of
zeal for the purity of the Government but
because he stands in the way of the usur-

this country are struck with horror by the
prospect, and bcsecch the reyolutionists to
pause
"But is this to be the result2 In the oath
taken by President Johnson he swore that
he would preserve, protect and defend the

anxiously asked, in many quarters, wheth-
or he will keep the OATH or whether he will
remain quiescent, depending upon his ia
voritc notion that the masses are honest
and win eventually recoil from Radical us
urpation. Too much of such reliance would,
we fear, be quite rs fatal as premature
step on his part in opposition to the revo-
lutionary designs. We feel sure, however,
that the President knows it to be his duty
not to be removed and that any evidence
to the contrary is nothing more than a
prudential reserve designed TO place his
enemies on the aggressive. If anything
more than the evident party spirit which
rules in the attempted impeachment were
necessary to justify the President in OPP
posing that object as revolutionary and
destructive, he could easily find it in the
war against the Supreme Court to which
| the Radicals have somewhat prematureiy
committed themselves. In late message
| the Pres ident showed that every writer on
our system comedies the judiciary to be the
weakest arm of the government and the
Legislative the strongest and most danger
GUS We in ferred from his argument that
| he regards the Executive and judiciary
| Departments us natural allies against the
dangers of encroachment by the other and
stronger division Of the government
