LETTER FROM JUDGE POLAND.

IL. L. 1Oiailu, Written III ItilN 10 orc
from Ex-G0v Fletcher:
WASHINGTON. d. C., March p 1868.
My DEAR SIR-iour letter Of the
18th inst, was duly received, but the
pressure of other engagements has pre-
vented my finding time to answer until
now. Your anxiety upon the subject OF
! the impeachment of the President j.
shared Il believe, by all the loyal peO-
pie of all sections of The country. IL il
shown by the press, the general mouth
piece Of the people, and find it in all
my respondence; and | presume the
same i true of every other member ,of
Congress. | am satisfied that the feel
ing is unanimous in the Republican par
" that the official course and conduct Of
the President has been such that he de
serves impeachment and that the best
interest and safety of the country de
mand il. For q variety of reasons was
strongly averse to putting the strength
Of our government TO this severe test if
il could be avoided Some OF these rea-
sons ! gave i'm a shur; speech ! made on
the subject, which has been published
in some of our papers. The great argu-
mcnt against the republican form OF
government since it has been known in
the world has been its want Of stability.
~cracely one of all the American repub-
lcs except our own has ever had an eN-
ecutiVe serve out his constitutional term.
