Rio JANEIRo, January7, 1868.
The news from the Seat of War. whittier
all are turned, reports little progress, in
fact is comprised in the official communi-
cation from the Marquis de Caxias, as the
various rumors which have been set on
foot are entirely without foundation. The
allied army continues to draw its iron circle
tighter round the enemy. Even the COM
munication which Lopez is said to have
opened through the Chaco, and by means of
which he receives supplies and ammunition,
appears to be very insignificant, and not
worthy of the importance that some par
ties wish to give it. We believe, however,
that according to all appearances this state
of suspense neither should nor can be pro-
longed for any length of time. The Inn
perial Government has been indefatigable
in sending to the Seat of War every de-
scription of supplies of which they may
there stand in need. Troops and ammu-
milton are constantly being sent with soli-
citude that much honors the service of the
public administration and the patriotism
and zeal of the Ministers. 1t would be
rashness to venture just at present an opin-
ion on events which are not yet fully
known, and of which the consequences
cannot therefore be foreseen, taking into
consideration the influence which the rev.
olutionary movement lately manifested in
the Argentine Republic, can have in regard
to any sudden changes in the war. But
every thing leads us to believe, that the
revolt which took place in Santa Fe and
Rosario is simply local affair, and that it
will succumb to the energetic attitude
taken by the legal authorities. The occu-
patton of Rosario by the insurgents is
temporary matter, and will terminate with
out harm to the Government. The revolu-
tionary crisis in favor of Urguiza being
simply q speculation on the part of
some of the partisans of the Governor
of Entre-Rios. IN the face of the
partial origin of these events, it is plain
that there is not any audacity in presum-
ing that they will in no wise influence the
exit of the war with Paraguay. Mean
while, be the result what it may, it will in
no wise influence the resolution OF Brazil
in regard to the satisfaction which it must
have from Lopez's government. The
choice of the government has, as might be
expected, given much satisfaction to the
people. The choice of diplomat to rep
resent Brazil at the Court of London has
not yet been made. 1t is natural that the
Imperial Government, which has been so
solicitous in regard to all belonging to the
general administration of the country,will
not allow this important post to remain un-
occupied for any length of time.

By reference to the local column, it will
be seen that meeting Of the friends of the
Constitution of this city, is called tor this
evening, at Thurman Hall. This is emf.
nently proper. Our citizens should come
together in body, and protest with such
emphasis that the men at Washington who
occupy the position of law makers shall
not precipitate the country into war be-
vuse the President of the United States has
felt it necessary to remove contumacious,
Cabinet ofiIcer, who had not the decency
or good sense to resign. There is not a
man of property in this city-there 10 not
bondholder anywhere-there is
not q business man, or mechanic or
laborer - whose Interests do :, not de-
mand most imperatively that Com
gress shall not undertake to depose the

its session in Washington City, on the 22d
inst, fixed on New York City as the place,
and the 4th of July as the time, for the
holding of the Democratic National Con-
vention. We should have preferred the
Convention to have been held in some
Western or Southwestern city. 1t will
not, however, perceptibly influence the
matter of nomination. By the 4th
of July, we are very sure, the
of Hon. GEoRG H. PENDLEroN
will be assured, no matter where the Con-
vention may be held. The holding of the
Convention in Cincinnati in 1856 did not
secure the nomination of Hon. STEPHEN A.

MONTREAL, Feb. 2l.-An auspicious cir.

ohanges in the artillery force hare also

Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-02-24

Suppose Congress pass the Impeach-
ment Resolutions and suspend the Presi-
dent, and constitute Senator WADE acting
President what then ?" is question that
will readily suggest itself. If this shall be
done, the President will have no other
course lett than quietly to submit to being
or to Immediately put Senator
WADE under arrest as soon as lie shall
qualify as acting President. 1t he is equal
to the position, the latter course is the one
he will pursue. Should he pursue this
course, and Congress then undertake to
forcibly release Senator WADE, and sup
port him in this usurpation OF the Presi-
dental Office, undoubtedly conflict of
arms will ensue. A few days
will determine whether we shall
have peace or war, and with it Constitu-
tional Liberty. Were this Congress not
equal to doing anything that is foolish and
Ubiquitous, we should not fear serious
trouble; but constituted as it is, we confess
to great misgivings. President JOHNSON
is clearly in the right; he has the Consti-
tuition on his side, or rather he is doing
what he can to maintain it, and he has the
usage of the Government, from the day ol
Its foundation until the I'd OF March, 1867,
on his side, and we have no doubt, if mat
ters shall come to the worst that the peo-
pie will rally to his support as against all
usurpation, come from whatever quarter il
may.
