NEW YosK, Is RUTGERS PLACE,
February %. 1868.
Reflection upon the startling events which took
place in Washington city on Saturday last impels
me, American citizen, to protest against the
arrogant assumption OF the dominant power IN
Congress. The President of the United States,
by virtue of the authority conferred by the Fed
eral Constitution and the laws OF the country has
deemed it expedent to remove a subordinate Off
GER, and is resisted in the exercise Of this const
tutional right by the Senate and Congress OF the
nation, who, regardless of law and tlme-honored
precedents. threaten his impeachment. An i'm
peratiye obligation devolves upon all who value
the preservation and perpetuity of our institu-
tions, who desire the administration OF our Gov
eminent to De conducted IN accofdance WIN Inc |
principles upon which it was organized, and who |
feel that our liberties at stake, to assume de-
termined opposition to this fragrant abuse of a |
constitutional privilege. Thus impressed and call
ing upon all lovers of their country to unite with
me, offer myself and all that possess to sus- |
tain the President in this crisis
And hereby declare that will retain no man |
in my employ who will support the fanatical par
ty which ls now dominant IN our national coun-
ellis that will have no intercourse whatsoever
with any man who will not uphold the President
OF the United States in this fearful juncture and
in the event of impeachment, cali upon ali citi-
whose sentiments accord with my own to |
make public their views, and unite as a vigilance
committee in his support, and resolve never to
yield until our stitutional rights are secured
Very respectfully,
JOHN HECKER,
What the People say.
The President continues to receive dis
patches daily from all portions of the North,
