trate ofthe republic, the representative OF
the dignity and power Of the people, at the
mercy ofone of his subordinates, assuming

own pronounced conviction Of law-who
has the unblushing eifrontery to place him
selfin the unwafranted position Of commu-
nicating directly with Congress; in utter
contempt Of the authority Of his superior
and with the deliberate purpose of resisting
his authority.

acter Of representatives of the the people
being deprived BY the despotie powers Of

eye of debate-tba great instrument in the

. The RESULT OF THE TRIAL.--Of course
the result is speculated about. The Sen
ate at present consists of ffty-three mem
bers, with two vacancies one in Maryland
and one in Delaware. Should both these
vacancies be filled before trial, tho Demo
Gratis would have eleven votes. tt would
require eight Republicans to coincide with
the eleven Democrats to prevent a verdict
of guilty. Of the thirty-six senators whose
votes are necessary to conviction, twenty
nine have already, BY vote on the resolu-
ton in relation to the attempted removal
Of Stanton, declared the President guilty
Of violating the Constitution and the laws.
Those whose judgment may be best relied
on are confident that every Republican
Senator will vote for impeachment. Bal

Ba. The special Washington cores
pendent of the Cincinnati Enquirer in his
dispatch Of the 9th says: T. +
The mystery which surrounds the am
parchment conspiracy thickens and can not
be dissipated for some days. There is ar-
thority, however, for contradictlng the state
ment that the President and his counsel
have agreed on his defence. An absured
report is also in circulation that the Presi-
dents counsel will object to certain Sena
tors as competent judges, aud failing in the
challenge, will refuse to proceed with the
trial. His resignation and appeal to the
people is also canard. There is a COM
plete division Of opinion as to the result Of
the trial, and his friends are confident of
his acquittal unless the Senate is dcterm.
ined to sacrifice truth, honor and justice to
promote party ends.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1868-03-18

nr So far as we can perceive, he (the
President) has not committed any over act
of character sufficiently fragrant to justi-
fy his condemnation and expulsion from Of
fee; and until he has gone as far as this,
it is at least inexpedieDt to bring him to
trial, for impeachment is not properly a
political proceeding. 1t is most serious
method for correcting the most serious
wrongs, and it should never be undertaken
unless the cause be unquestionable, the
evidence ample, the law clear, and convic-
ton certain.
Above all, the President ought not to be
impeached SO long as there is any possible
doubt as to the constitutionality ofthe law
he has sought to have transgressed. That
question is now in the way Of being settled
by the courts and at least till their decis-
ion Is rendered, we trust that no conclusive
action will be taken in Congress. - New

Mr.. PREsIDENT-When you first ex-
pressed to me your wish that / should
engage as one of your counsel in the
pending impeachment, felt an embar-
rassment growing out ofmy official po-
sition. then said that although there
was no legal incompatibility between
my acting as your counsel in my indi-
gidual capacity and holding at the
same time the office of Attorney Gener-
al, yet as the duties of counsel in such
q case must engross all my time during
its progress my attention would neces-
sarily be withdrawn for an indefinite
period from the discharge ofoficial du-
ties. When, after further considera-
ton, I continued to feel the force of the
objection, and said to you that could
not consent to hold my Office and at the
same time engage ia your defence, you
we're further pleased, in view OF the al
Tentative, to reiteratiye your request
that should act as ole of your counsel.
LIDO not hesitate to meet your wishes
or to resign my official position that ]
may perform duty which under the
circumstances, seems to me of para
mount obligation. ] enclose my resig-
nation Of the Office of Attorney General
and beg you, Mr.. President, to notify
me OF your acceptance of it.
