tanned the cause Of liberty and ma

behalfof the whole body of Republican
,elactors of the. State ; we unite in de.
claTipg that Andrew johnson, by his
usurpafi0ns of power clearly belonging
to other departments Of the Govern
ment, by his plain violations of the
laws of the land i; by repeated refusals
and failures to perform his sacred and
sworn duties as the Chief Executive
officer of the Nation by his corrupt
exercise Of the appointing power by
his open sympathy with the men who
through protracted war fought to de-
'stroy this great Republic ; and 10y his
conduct on the day of his
and at various times since
has merited impeachment, and it is oul
'e6iemn conviction that the best interest
and good name of this nation demand
his removal from the high office which
he has disgraced, and we heartily en-.
dOrse the action of our Representatives
In Congress on this subject, and
