The PRESIDENTS Crime.

a Republican journal has the courage
and independence to speak out the true
common sense on the subject ofimpeach-
ment, for which the charge against the
President is mere pretext. The
country needs rest and return to peace
and business. But the congressional
usurpers, preferring to ruin rather than
not rule, care not about reasons when
pretexts will answer their purpose. The
following is the extract:
The crime for which the President is
to be impeached consists simply in the
exercise Of a right which has been en-
joyed by all his predecessors, and be-
longs to the executive head OF every
Government in the world. This right is
called in question. by pretended law
which is in such fragrant violation Of the
Constitution, as we'll as Of all preeedents,
that this same Stanton, who is q lawyer
and has been Attorney-General, advised
the President to veto it. Aud now the
President is to be impeached in Stan
toms interest because he believes the law
to be unconstitutional, and institutes pro.
ceedines to bring II to Judicial
testl IL the precedent now set is to be
followed, il will be in the power OF any
future Congress TO summerily eject any
future President Congress has merely
10 pass some unconstitutional law which
reverses the whole past practice Of the
Government, and when the President
takes the first steps for bringing Il TO .
judicial test, forthwith put him out o.
Office BY articles Of impeachment. We
might as well abolish the farce Of Presi
Dental elections. if Congress can thu'
unmake elected Presidents at their ca
price.
Speaking on the same subject, and a.
to the issue and result, the Baltimor'
Sun also has the following:

Dissatisfaction of the Northern La
u boring Classes.


The people of the North are growing
more and mere FESTIVE, with the decline
of all values, aud all interests, closed
factories, breaking merchants and ships
rotting at their wharves Thousands
now thrown out of employment, and
driven to extremity Of distress, begin to
demand a change of policy. They have
been fooled long enough with the Radi-
cal promise, that " the interests of God
and humanity having been first taken
care of. the welfare of the merchants,
farmers, manufacturers, and laborers
should be attended 70. Instead of legis-
lation which will reduce taxes, restore
harmony and build up the producing in
terests of the country, the work OF Con-
gress is to tyrannize over ten States, de-
stroy labor at cost of hundreds of mill
lions for standing armies, and impeach
the President who has done the great
body of the American people no harm,
and who would, if he could, give us the
Government of Washington tomorrow.
Taxes are not reduced, but increased.
Money is not saved by retrenchment
and economy, but millions are wasted
in extravaganza and populations. Con-
gress is all powerful and the Democrats
powerless. 1t was fairly to be expected,
that, when Congress had done saving the
negro. and had reduced him from COM
narrative happiness to condition of free
liberty for idleness and entering to his
hearts content, it would begin to look
after white mems interests. But 1t is
still so engaged recoHstructiug and i'm
peaching that il has no time for any
thing else, and is not likely soon to have
any. The laboring men of the North
and West see now the difference between
a government by fanstical enthusiasts
who had rather strike an enemy thar
save q friend. and a government b,
patriotic and ssgacious statesmen, whose
chief anxiety is to promote the futur'
and ultimate good Of the country. Ant
feeling Of intense disgust now perVade'
the working classes, which will sweeI
the false protesting congressional mis-
crsauts from power, so soon as thei
voiee can find expression at the ballot
box. And the more rope, and the longe
the delay these hypOcriticai rOguss maj
have. the surer L becomes, that, vhe'
once displaced, they vill never regal
their power.

obstacles are thrown in the way, and
therefore, the greater should be the effor
to overcome them. The uulaw which
takes away the freeborn privilege o.
American citizens is the cruel outrage OIL
natural tyrants, before which freemer
should only bend as they must. The
utmost of peaceful means must be pres
emily used to overbear it which every
whitevote gives the possibility Of doing,
even by its own terms; for none but the
tyrants themselves, and the crowds Of
blacks they drive in hordes to the polls,
are in favor of the despetism 1t is in
tended to support. We hear of old, gray
headed fathers standing hours, and until
they tainted, in the dense crowd
which throngs the Registers Office, de-
manding in vain the right which by no
act Of theirs was ever forfeited ! All
honor to these good, old time patriots of
Tennessee. They have shown devotion
to country which will be written down in
history in terms which would do honor to
the Washingtons, Hancocks, Adamses,
and Henrys of the revolutionary era.
Let young men emulate their zeal. If
the issues upon us were those of mere
party difference, as in the earlier times,
they might regard their franchise as a
privilege to be used or refused. But now
principles are at stake, and all the
interests of the people, and the hope
of good government involved, and
what was then privilege becomes
a duty In the name Of those
who have been wiokedly DISTINGUISHED,
and Of an oppressed people, we entreat
every man who can obtain certificate,
to initiate the example OF the old men
in our midst, whose persistence has SO
evinced their patriotism, and press on and
over the obstacles in their way to obtain
ing their right to vote by the terms of this
very damnable law itself. The tyrants
made mistake when they allowed
any white man to vote except
themselves, and all possible advan-
tage should be taken of this their
unamiable weakness. Do the best you
can. We fear thousand fairly entitled
men will fail of getting certificates and
be prevented from exercising their
RIGHT to vote. This may give the Rad
icals control of the county, with album
dance of room to tax you, tyrannise and

no COALITION.

It will be seen, by notices published in this
mornings CRESCENT. that several of the gen.
tlemen placed in nomination by one OF the
branches of the Republican party, declare the
use of their names, in any such connection,
to be entirely unauthorized. They believe
that there is only one party to whom the peo-
pie of the South may look with hope for sal
Walton from the perils by which they are envi-
roned-the Democratic party and they are
unwilling to enter into any entangiing or en-
barrassing alliances with either of the fac
tons into which the Republican party is
divided. The attempt to purchase the sup
port of the white people of this State for the
infamous instrument contrived by the Dry
AIDES street assemblage, by the offer of spoils
and plumber, has been and viii indignantly
rejected What the real citizens of Louisiana
intend to do is to defeat the so-called Consti-
tuition, if that object can be effected by vigor,
energy and labor. To that end they will de-
vote all their time for the next four weeks,
and, like the people of Alabama, they viii
succeed. They do not intend to be ruled by
vagrant and mendicant "loyalists," itinerant
adventures, or renegade Confederates, if
they can avoid it. 1t may be a very fine thing
to be in the Union but to be dragged in as
the slaves of vindictive and tyrannical
party, is something which does not commend
itself to their feelings or their reason.
