MApisoN's OPINIoN.-Duriug the
debate in the First Congress on the
power Of removing officers, the illus
trious james Madison said: "The
danger consists mainly in this: That
the President can displaco from office
a man whose merits require that he
should be continued in it, 10 the
first place, he will be impeachablc by
the House for such an act of NAL ad.
ministration, for l contend that the
wauton removal of moritorious officers
would subject him to impeachment
and removal from his own high trust"
Madison believed, as every one con-
vcrsant with the subject believes,
that Impeachment is intended as the
remedy for grave abuse of trust, aud
the question as to what shall be the
extent and character Of abuse justi-
flying impeachment, is discretionary
with Congress.

Chase and the Presidency,

man Of undoubtod aud traucendout

really strong man is conscious Of his

defined notions ofhow tho Executive
Department of the Government
should be administered, aud aside from
personal considerations, he has had,
a not unworthy ambition to put his
theories into practioe---to leave the
impress ofhis ideas upon our ipstitu.
tions, He has stood by and seen in.
fuitely small men elevated to the of.
foo Of President, and thus placed in
charge Of the Grandest temporal in.

his ASPIRATIONS have not been wholly
unselfsh, yet he has probably be-

seekers do not honestly entertain re-

The Erie war has been advanced n

Directors for contempt Of Court.
Tho arrests arc reported to include
the Vice President aud Mr., Fisk, aud

this whole affair tho hotter il will be
for that portion Of the shareholders

fair now stands tho Vanderbilt party,

stock, no matter how II was issued
aud the public will gladly SOC this
property made TO earn interest on its
cost, no matter who performs the
seeming miracle, The plan to build
new broad gauge road from the At.
lantic and Great Western road to To-
lcdo will be prosecuted successfully
aud from the new connection Mr..
Vanderbilt will get largo accession
of business to the Erie road. That
may be considered settled, Tho new
liuc has long been wanted, and will
give the Toledo aud Wabash, and

of lines to the East, aud sufficient

The First Treaty of Expatriation


The new treaty, negotiated by Mr.
Bancroft, between the Uuited States
and the King of Prussia, acting for
the North German Confederation, the
text Of which was given in our dis
patches yesterday, fully arranging the
matter Of cxpatriation between
these countries, is nm example oil
what may be done in this affair by
honest negotiation, uuombarrassod by
party buucombe, aud by any nttcmpt
to make naturalization cover for in
surreotion.
We would suppose the German
States the most difficult TO arrange
this matter with, because they claim
that every man born on the soil owns
a certain term Of military service,
which, under the Prussian system is
not satisfied until nino years havo
been served in the active army aud the
reserve; whereas the case with the
British Government is not oncum-
bcrcd with any compulsory military
service.
But Mr.. Bancroft has nco,iatod
a treaty Of mutual expatriation upon
the terms Of our naturalization laws
These being fulfilled tho naturalizod
citizen is recognized by both couu
tries as the same natural citizen.
This supports the Affirmation VIC have
several timos made in regard to this
question, namely, that five could on.
tor fairly upon negotiation, diyestcd
OF Fcnianism, VIC could mako treaties
Of expntriation with all Europo upon
the basis Of our naturalization laws.
Dut tEe;o wore q multitude ofdcm-
ogogues who hitchod this question to
Fouianism, aud who wanted to fix il
so that they could carry on Irish re-
bolliou in tho character of American
citizens, aud so, that after yaporing
about as officers of the Irish Rcpub.
lie, in America, and declare war very
much against England, they might 20
back to Ireland, aud If caught, might
claim protection as American citizens.
We presume that the Government
could make the same liberal treaty
with Great Britain that II has with
Prussia, OF course it will not cover
Fenion invasious, nor do we desire il
to. If naturOlizod citizens filibustcr
here as Irish Republicans and
warriors, threatening aud ostonsibly
organizing for u hostile lauding in
lrelan1,or au invasion of Canada, they
show that their naturalization was in
bad faith. And after all this they &c
to Ireland, they go under just suspi-
cion Of rebellion, aud if caught they
have no right to the protection of the
United States, This is truth, ant
law, and justice, aud plain common
