The President Impeached.

It will be seen by our latest dispatches
from Washington, that the President has
been impeached by strict party vote, which
means that at least two-tliirds of the House
voted tor impeachment.
The House has gone nobly forward in the
path of duty. There will be no faltering.
The President has provoked his own doom.
He uoulM have it so. The majesty of the
law. which he has trampled under his feet,
will he indicated. He will not resist. He
is powerless There will be no CONFUSION.
The probability is that the next step vail
be to suspend him during his trial. In that
event Mr.. Wade will at once become the
President. The government will thus pass
into the hands of loyal man, and the work
of reconstruction will be rendered much
more easy. Thank God for the patriotism
and courage of the Congress

DEBILITY AND EVACUATION

DEBILITY AND EVACUATION
Both results from the lack of ability to convert
the food in nutrimcnt. How necessary, then, for
those suffering from these alarming symptoms
to Immediately resort to a reme"y that will
strengthen the stomach and digestive organs.
For, as soon as this desirable object has been
accomplished, the health improves, and the pa.
tient resumes his usual personal appearance.
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS have at
talned world wide popularity In such cases, and
have been proven the beet and safest means OF
removing constipation, toning the stomach, Civ.
ing energy to the liver, and relieving everv symp.
tom of nervousness and depression oispirits. Its
cheering and beneficial effects are highly spoken
of BY thousands, who owe to 1t their restoration
to health. No restorative in the annals of medi
cine has attained the same popularity in the short
space OF time 1t has been before the public, or
has won the high endorsements accorded to this
excellent tonic. Many other preparations t
porting to be correctives and restoratives, have
been introduced, and have persisted one by one
while the popularity of HOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS continues to increase, and 10
now recognized as a standard household medi.
cine. The success which attends the use of the
Bitters evinces at once its virtues In oil cases Of
debility and diseases Of the stomach. Certif.
Gates, almost without number, have been pub
lished, attesting its truly miraculous power in
removing those painful and fearful diseases.
And at this time 1t seems idle 10 do more than
call attention to the great remedy Of the age, In
order to awaken public attention to Its excel.
lence It Ia the only preparation Of the kind
that is reliable In ali cases, and 1t 10 therefore
worthy OF the consideration Of afflicted.

The Rail Rolls OnI

The enthusiasm in the ranks of the Re
publican party in North Carolina is at q
white heat, and will not cool down until af.
ter the State has been restored to the Union
with loyal men to man the ship. The Re-
publicans are aroused. They are holding
meetings everywhere and preparing for tue
coming campaign. We,are daily receiving
letters from all portions .of the State, show
ing that the work is going i,ravely on
There will he no relaxation of effort untiLaf
reconstruction is accomplished. Then we
may repose, for then peace and prosperity
and plenty will resume their reign, and un-
der the mild sway of the Republican party,
quiet and harmony will nnoe more return to
our people.

Beware of the Conspirators J

Rebel leaders all over the State-the for
mer Quartermasters, Confiscators, and Tith
ing men, and Hunters and Shooters of Con
scripts-are engaged in recording the names
of what they call the White Mans Purity
Beware of these men! They are conspiring
against the laws. They are enemies to the
country.
These Rebels and Traitors are marking
their stock, just as the farmer marks his
hogs and sheep. The day of chattel slavery
is over. The free white men of North Caro-
Ina are not to be thus marked and used.

A number of Alabamians are in Washing
ton tor the purpose of inducing Congress to
admit that State into the Union. They
have carried with them mass of evidence
to show that the negroes wererin many cases
inundated by the whites, and thus prevent
ed from voting. A case in point is that of
ex-United States Senator Fitzpatrick, who,
the day before the, election began, summoned
his negro laborers, about fifty in number. and
told one of them that every one who dared
vote for u Constitution should be instantly
dismissed from his service.
1t is reported that Alabama has cast the
requisite number, Of votes to ratify the Con-
stitution.

Governor. This is what you weuld have
done to Union men if your cause had suc-
ceeded. Can you complain if those who
triumphed should now, simply for the public
good, fence you aud year followers out of
office ? You will not be I. hustled from the

g Universal suffrage and universal

Universal suffrage and universal
amnesty" What does that mean? It
means that Rebels will be pardoned
if they will agree that all male citizens
shall vote. But will the Rebels do
thatp Will they keep the bargain ?
There is no indication that they will.
The right to vote is the corner stone
of government. 1t is not natural
right, hut results from the establish
ment of society. 1t is the highest right
among men. If this right be conceded
in every case, does not the mere priv
ilege of holding Office follow?
1t seems to us that no one should be
enfranchised-that is, made voter
who does not submit Internationally to
the will of the nation, as expressed in
the reconstruction acts OF Congress.

rnr SENATE Fan AND THE PnrsrDDrsr.-pr

THE SENATE AND THE PREsrDENr.- Pres
ident johnson claims to have removed Mr..
Stanton second time, by virtue of the power
vested in him by the Constitution. As soon
as he ordered the last removal of Mr.. STAN
ton, and informed the Senate of the fact,
that body passed the following by vote Of
29to6:
Whereas the Senate have received and
considered the communication of the Pres
ident. stating that he had removed Edwin
M Stanton as Secretary of War, and had de-
signated the A,ljutant General of the army
to act as Secretary of War ad interim; there
fore,
Resolred By the Senate Of tile United States,
That under the Constitution and laws of the
United States the President has no power to
remove the Secretary of War and designate
any other officer to perform the duties ofthat
Office.
The above is quite conclusive. There can
be doubt that after impeachment the Senate
will find him guilty of deliberate violation
of the law.
