Il, supposing that we have intended to
exhibit either enmity towards the
President, or want OF sympathy for
him, in his struggle with the Radical
conspirators We have simply stated
that in moments of weakness, and
misplaced confidence, he has betrayed
himself into their hands. He trusted
them, and withheld his confidence
from the statesmen and soldiers Of
the great party TO which he must at
last look for support, and upon which

to the Jacobin leaders, he continued

after the passage of the tenure of
Office law, in virtue of which he has
been put upon trial for high crimes -
He appointed Grant, Secretary OF War
cd interim, instead Of Gen. Lorenzo
Thomas, Gen BLAIR, Gen. McClcrnand,
or some other Conservative, only to
have his confidence basely betrayed.
He has constantly argued that the
present Congress is not n constitution

legality Of its acts which he has faith
fully enforced, and thus has disarmcd
himself of his right TO deny the priyil
eye Of the Ilusc of Representatives

and the Jurisdiction of the Senate as q
court Of impeachment
