assured him of the support of all the Republican mem
hers; that their party would act as unit in both
Houses; aud that the President has failed in au
thorits, there would be no failing, and in that the
matter is completed. After the impeachment reso!u

his friends think after tkat erea the President will
pursue aggressive measures. 1t is asceraiRedthat
