The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-03-25
THE PRESIDENTS ANSWER.

The answer of the President to the i'm
peachment charges, asserts his right as an
American citizen to express his views on all
public questions, and in regard to public
men. 1t is hard to see how any reasoning
man can deny this right to him without deny
ing it to every citizen, and thus, not only
abridging, but destroying freedom of opinion
and of speech. To say that an act is high
CRIME and misdemeanor in the President,
which in private citizen would be only the
exercise of natural and indefeasible right, is
to assume that the presidential Office limits,
instead of extending, the powers and preroga-
tives of the officer who fills that position.
The expression of opinion on public topics is
right not even limited by the canons of
taste. 1t may be true that the language of
the President in speaking of the policy and
legislation of Congress was harsh and un-
timely, but harsh and untimely language is
not an offense in a citizen or "crime and
misdemeanor" ina President But, even were
such language such violation of constitu-
tional Obligations as to make the President
justly liable to impeachment, it will i'll become
the Republicans in Congress to bring such a
charge against him. From the very begin
ming of the controversy the language of the
congressional radicals towards the President
has been not only harsh and untimely,
but actually lbellous. Epithets scarcely
fit to be applied to penitentiary con-
yicts have been recklessly hurled at
the chief magistrate of the republic with the
object of bringing him into odium and con-
tempt before the public. He has been stigma
tized over and over again as traitor and as
the accomplice of rebels, as an enemy to the
country, and as conspirator engaged in a
plot to overthrow the government The
widest latitude of justifable criticism of
policy and opinion has been exceeded, and
the President has been arraigned as a notori-
GUS criminal Such assaults are well calcu-
lated to arouse antagonism and resentment
and vet, in no instance has Mr.. Johnson re-
torted these charges on his adversaries.
Everything that he has said of them could be
interpreted as the logical sequence of his OPP
position to policy which he deemed destruc-
tive of liberty and of the theory on which the
government is founded. How just were his
criticisms, how sagacious his predictions, the
conduct of the Republican party, at this mo-
ment, furnishes a conclusive demonstration.
When the presidential Office is made the sport
of partisan ambition, all thoughtful men fore
see that the triumph of such party is the
destruction of the constitutional system; and
when the President is impeached, and tried,
and convicted, for the expression of political
opinion differing from those of the congress

CRY MoSEY.-By reference to the report
of the proceedings Of the council last night,
it will be seen that the mayor recommends,
substantially, the course. in reference to city
money, suggested in the CRESCENT yesterday
morning. That is to say, he recommends
the adoption of am ordinance providing for
the destruction of the city money as fast as
it may be paid into the treasury, and from
whatever source it may come. 1t is plain
that if this currency is ever to be forced up
to par with legal tenders this method
alone can accomplish the object; and this
method, if it be adopted by the council,
ought certainly to have an immediate effect
on the market. For the payment of the cur
rent expenses of the city, the mayor recon-
mends the issue of certificates of indebted
ness, to be taken at par by all city employees
and contractors
The consideration of an ordinance en-
bodying these suggestions is fixed for Sat-
urday night next
