Some of our contemporaries, of the OPP
position, are complaining of the "inde-
cent haste" in bringing Andrew John
son speedily to the bar of the Senate of
the United States for trial None can
complain of this but those who would
be losers by his removal from Office.
If he has been hut obeying the injunc-
tons of the oath of his high office, he
has no right to complain, for speedy
trial will end the matter, but if he is
guilty of high crimes and misdemean-
ors the sooner he is removed the better.
The facts are plain-they are on record
there may be a denial of corrupt mo-
tive, but not of the facts-yet no evil
dence that he can produce can remove
the effect of the evidence that he will
fully intended to defy law ofCongress
passed by two thirds of both houses and
presumtively constitutional until the
proper courts can decide its validity.
ust man defy and over-awe the law
making power in order to test its au-
thority? Does the theft or murderer
ever commit crime in order to test the
consttutionality Of the law that would
punish him ? No, he does the act and
then questions the validity of the law.
There was way pointed out for John
son, had he borne in mind that he had
sworn to see the laws faithfully execu-
| ted. If Stanton was i'm office i'm def
ance of, and contrary to the constitu.
ton, the President Of the United States
had 10 right, as President, to violate
the law. Two wrongs don't make one
right. If he has the power to construe
the constitution against Congress, he
has the same power against the Su.
preme Court, and the result would be
that Andrew Johnson would be the
government he claims to be. As a us.
upper, he has placed himself in conflict
with the law, and as a usurper he is to
be tried and punished. 1t was just .fol
such occasions as these, the power oil
impeachment was provided. Ingiving
the power to Congress, it left ii as the
judge and jury, and the people them.
selves acting under the constitution
cannot reverse the decision. The long
patience apd forbearance manifested by
the national legislature refutes the
charge of indecent haste" and the
people will heartily endorse a verdict
of removal.

New Hampshire.

The first gun of the campaign has
been heard up in the hills of New
Hampshire. The news falls OH the
ears of the Democracy like a death
knell, whilst to the Republicans it is a
foretaste of the cheering intelligence
that will sweep the whole country be-
fore next December. impeachment
for moment turned the attention of
the people from the hard fight i'm New
Hampshire, but the stubborn will of
both parties, challenged the adniira-
ton and the eyes of the whole country.
Victory has perehed upon the banners
of the party that darei to think right
and do it. Money, time and energy
were unsparingly used by both parties
and the Democrats were determined
that if these could win, the victory
would be theirs. All failed-stump
speeches and all. Henry Clay Dean,
the greasy, frothy orator of this State,
spent weeks i'm New Hampshire to
stem the tide of Republican opinion,
but his detestable speeches did more
harm than good in the cause he advo-
Gated. Our party in that State are not
yet ready to surrender the dear bought
victories Of the war and the political
arena. They are not disturbed by the
bugbesr of impeachment. They have
again endorsed Congress and the brave
men who have defed the bulllyism of
a corrupt executive, have once more re-
ceived hearty encouragement. The
line is closing up. The first gun
fired has shown that the Republican
party will win all over. Last years
fight decided nothing. This will
decide that the party of progress
will not rest until the government is
settled in the principles of justice.
There must be no equivocation or de-
lay. the Republican party of New
Hampshire has done nobly. March
on, young, loyal, vigorous, Iowa.

sill.n 1t was difficult to tell which
was deepest in the mire the black or
the white, and Congress chose the wis.,
est, the shortest and most honorable
way of elevating them all, by giving
each race an equal start with the 9th
er. Blood and brains will tell in the
end-not bowie-kniyes, pistols and the
cat But the task was>not
easy. There were two fields of this
contest, in the north and in Alabama.
Here we fought the men who hated us
because rebellion was conquered, slav-
cry destroyed and the negro given the
right to defend himself against injus-
tice and cruelty. But the end is near.
The other battle was fought on the soil
not with swords and guns entirely
but with argument, with threatenings
and hunger-and the threats ofhunger.
Slave and free labor had filled the lard
ers of the hospitable planter with bread
and bacon, but none of IL for the man
who produced it, unless his knee should
bend to the political behests of his one
time master. 1t was too late. bred
Scott decisions are the mummies of an
tiquated Democrats, and the men who
control the destiny of Alabama have
almost forgotten that she was ever
slave state. Her union men have been
brave, untiring, indomitable and perse-
vering. They have brought order out
of disorder, though the heavens seemed
at times turned against them. Floods
and tempests barred the way to the
polls, yet enough voted on the consti-
tuition to show that the arsitocracy of
that state were numbered with the
past. Some were drowned in tile at
tempt to record their verdict for the
new constitutions, yet they are to be
numbered only with the many thous-
ands ofunion men who had sacrificed
their lives for the same cause. Suffer
ing for food many "poor whites" and
Ignorant blaeksn stayed away from
the polls through the terrors of threat
ened privation, yet enough went to the
polls to show that the people were i'm
earnest. Let Alabama be admitted and
the Democratic party will be compell-
ed either to attempt to drive her out,
or submit with grace. They must do
whatever they do, alone. Their ally,
the President, is bound head and foot.
They have slaughtered him and left
him with character that would dis
grace the dignity of revenge.

in favor of an immediate resumption

same be given to John T.. Blair. a"@sh
We give the resolutions below i'm

pany. .. ~ . ."f~ut.. .sat a..@
I'd, That the said lands he granted
to such Company as will speedily build
the road on the direct line to Sioux
City, and within tie limits Of the
Land Grant, and that we have full con-
fidence i'm the ability and energy of
John /. Blair to build the road, if he
will undertake it.
Sd. That the course pursued by the
Dubuque 81 Sioux City Company dur
ing the many years that ii had control
of the road, has been such as to destroy
desire to build it. ''. .'. q
4th. That the road should be built
within the limits of the Land Grant,
and at its western end should be reaui-
red TO make its connection with the
Sioux City & Pacific Rail Road i'm the

5th. That i'm addition To- building
the length of road at its eastern end, as
required by the Congressional bill, it
would be for the interest of the road
and very much for the interest of the
Northwestern counties of the State if
work was commenced at the western
end of the Road i'm ls6S.
9th. That any condition attached to
the re-granting of the lands to any
Company. requiring that Company To
build branch down the Maple Valley,
or any branches, and provided for in
the Congressional bill, would be vio-
lation of the trust for which the Gen.
eral Government gave the lands to the
State, and would retard, and most like
ly defeat the completion of the main
| line. s." z..f
7th. That we earnestly appeal to the
Legislature not to pass any act placing
any restrictions regulating the tariffs
on freight and passenger fares on the
roads To be built in Northwestern Iowa
and ask that the building of these
Roads, and the consequent develop
ment OF this part of the State he not
