Washington to Iincoln claimed the
right to do withoa' question from any
one. or from any department of the
government.-THe Wdtchman, Belle
fonte, Centre County.
No true patriot can fail to sympa-
thize and sustain President Johnson in
his course. The power of selecting his
own Cabinet ministers, has been exer-
cised by, and conceded to, every Presi-
dent from Washington down, and any
law, or pretended law, which aims at
the curtailment or destruction of this
right is clearly unconstitutional and
void.-The Gazette, York, York Coun-
ty.
The Infamous conduct Of this most
infamous Rump will certainly end in
atragical way, unless Thaddeus Stevens
and his co-conspiratOrs hastily change
their programme, and conform them
selves to their oaths and the Constitu-
ton of their cOuntry.-The Repub6-
can, Clearfeld, Clearfield County.
We feel satisfied that President John
son will only act on the defensive, and
should the Senate attempt to remove
him, he has only to call on the people
to sustain him, and then woe be to
those perured villains who have for
the past few years been controlling the
legislation of the country. They will
find no convenient back windows by
which to effect an escape from the pun
ishmeut they so richly merit.-Ihe
Herald, Brookville, Jefferson County.
Should the conspirators against the
public liberties manifest a disposition
to complete the work they have begun,
it will be the duty of the Democratic
party to announce in language that
cannot be misunderstood, its determin-
alton on the subject, and proceed to
adopt means for making that deter
mination good. The Observer, Erie
Erie County.
Excitement reignS over all the cOun-
try, and the Jacobins may have the
satisfaction Of finaugurating an era Of
revolution worthy of their historical
namesakes.-THe Democrat, LapOrte,
Sullivan County.
Before another month rolls around,
we will have passed through another
crisis in our history which will tell
either for the veal or woe of the whole
people. We pray God, in His infinite
goodness, that He so temper the hearts
of all the people, as to prevent The hor-
rors Of what now seems to be an inn
pending civil Wharf.-The Gazette, Ber-
wick, Columbia County.
For what crime is the President thus
to be dealt with ? Why, for doing pre-
cisely what every former President
has done, and what the Constitution
guarantees every President the right
to do-the right to choose his own Cab
met. If this action of Congress is sue
cessful, and is to be established as a
precedent, any future Congress may
summarily put out any President by
merely passing an unconstitutional act,
and if such President refuses to recOg-
nize and obey it, or takes any steps to
have it judicially tested, he will sub
ject himself to impeachment at Once.--
The Local, Beaver, Beaver County.
If, instead of Congress going off into
spasms, on the announcement by the
President that he had removed Stan
ton, they had quietly awaited the re-
suit, and co-Operated with the Presi-
dent in endeavoring to have judicial
settlement of the question at the earli-
est day, the whole matter might have
been disposed of by this time, and the
public mind set at rest. But this did
not suit the Radical purposes. s.-The IN.
| teIliqencer, Danville, MontOur County,
The people are everywhere express
! ing their willingness to stand by the
! President with their fortunes and their
lives, if needs be. Both houses of the
Legislature of New Jersey have adopt
ed q resolution to support the Execu'
tive. y paper is being publicly and
numerously signed in New York,
pledging support of arms, if required
In Philadelphia, numerous meetings
were called, and tenders of aid made
the President. From all sides comes
similar offers.-THe Democrat, McCon-
nellsburg, Fulton County.
! That the President has the COnstitu.
ton of the country, and right on his
side, we have no manner ofdoubt. His
patience and forbearance in presenting
his rights are most commendable, and
| Just the contrary to the impatience and
passion displayed by Congress. That
he will be sustained by the people OF
the country, there is the strongest rea.
son to believe, from the universal ap-
proval his acts have received, and the
denunciations of the course of Congress,
by Democrats and Conservatives every
where.-The Standard, Pottsvilie,
Schuylkill County.
The country is greatly agitated as a
result of these revolutionary proceed
ings, and there is no telling what the
matter may terminate in-perhaps
revolution and bloOdshed. Let every
good man sustain the President because
he is right, and condemn the Radical
leaders because they are wrong-infa'
mOusly WrOng.-We Democrat, Mauch
