LIKE BEGETs LlKE.-Bear in mind that
the advocates Of Andrew johnson perfdy
and violation of law in the House of Repre-
sentatives are the very men who assisted
the rebellion and prayed for It's success.
With single exception, not one of them
voted for Abraham Lincoln in 1864. They
justified secession, opposed the draft, de-
nounced the currency, applauded the New
York riots, gloried over the defeats and
mourned over the victories of the Union
army. Can the American people forget
such a record as this?

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE. Copper
heads, emboldened by the election of an
Alderman, or City Auditor here and there.
are beginning to show their teeth They
are progressing backwards fast. In Ohio
they have withdrawn the ratification of the
l4th Constitutional amendment, and in
New Jersey are doing the same. Were
they to get into power they would re -estab-
hsh slavery, repudiate the national debt,
and vote TO pay the confederate bonds in
gold. The people have only to note the
perfect accordance between the Copper
heads and Ex- Rebels, to see what would be
the result should these traitors get control
of the Government.

A REBUKE TO TRAITOR PRESIDENT :
The hero of many battles, Gen. George III.
Thomas, declines the empty honors attemp-
ted to be thrust upon him by degenerate
President, in the following emphatic Ian
guage, which cannot be misunderstood, viz ::
Louisville, KY, Feb. 23-2P. NJ, 1865.
Hon. b.. f. Wade, President of the Senate:
The morning papers of Louisville announce,
officially that my name was yesterday sent
to the Senate tor confirmation as Brevet
Lieutenant General and General | was
appointed Major General of the United
States Army for services at the battle of
Nashville. My services since then do not
merit so high compliment, and it is now
too late to be regarded as compliment, if
conferred for services during the war [,
therefore, earnestly request that the Senate
will not confirm the nomination

SECOND STEP IN IMPEACHMENT The

House of Representatives on Saturday, and
the Republican caucus have agreed on a
Committee of Managers on the part of that

Robert J. Walker On the Law.

Hon. Robert j. WalkerAa Democrat
who was Secretary of the Treasury under
President Polk, and is member of the
Democratic party in good standing still, and
who, moreover, stands high in the conf
denoe of the party, and is learned in Consti-
tutional law, volunteered an opinion dur
ing the recent crisis at Washington, to John
sons ad interim Secretary Thomas, which
doubtless had much to do in preventing him
from employing force to obtain possession of
the War Office. Mr. Walker says:
II Called upon Gen. Thomas early on Satu1-
day morning ,at the War Office, and communicated
to him In friendly way my opinion that any
such order would be nullity, and would subject
him to serious consequences, especially if any
such collision should occur [ told him that he
had no right, nor had the PreSjdeut to dbsobey
td50 of Congress upon the assumption that at 1cas
unconstitutional, and that If this acere not SO the
President might set astde all the lars Of Congress
since the foundation of the Government upon the
ground that they were unconstitutional. That
the President possessed no such power, because it
was not an executive. but eZcLASlUe by 1Hlttriat
pOacer and that all tho Lancs of Congress must be
obeyeG and erecntea By the President unless their
execution was restrained by the highest judicial
authority. That to aecfGreG lar demonstrations
al was mot only the exercise of judicial power 6nt
tke highest jdtcak po1cer and only to be resorted
to by the courts where in their JUDGMENT, the act
was clearly unconstitutional, and that in all
doubtful cases the court had uniformly refused to
interfere with the execution of the law
Here is lucid statement of the case
presented in a nut shell, which all can un-
derstand. No wonder Lorenzo the bold,
hesitated about calling out Grandfather
Welles Marines to storm the War Office,
after hearing this unanswerable argument.

WHIsKET AND CoPPERHEADs. In Phil
adelphia on the reception of the news of the
decisive action of Congress, some deeply
exasperated Democrats held meeting in
one of the wards So full of whiskey and
fight were they, that they resolved to sus-
tain the President with their muskets, and
proposed to adjourn to the depot, armed and
equipped but before this could be carried
into execution they got into fight among
themselves, which caused Andrew johnson
to be quite forgotten, and the meeting broke
up IN row.

WILL THERE BE WAR?-Although here
and there few blatant Copperheads ha We
threatened a resort to war if the President
is deposed by the Senate, there is very little
danger of any such result. On the contra
ry the removal of Andrew johnson, the
great obstructionist, is sure TO result in
peace to the country, and the speedy recon
struction of all the late insurgent States.
As soon as the pestilent agitator is out of
the way agitation will cease, confidence viii
be restored and business in all branches of
industry will brighten up. The brightest
day for the country since the Rebel surren-
der at AppomaLtox, will be the day the
Traitor President is turned out of the

JoHNsoN's CABINET Johnson s Cabl-
net, with every disposition to aid their Chief
in the recent crisis, has shown unmistaka-
BILE evidence of weakness in the knees.
Seward is mum. McCulloch, at first hesi
tating, on a sober second thought concludes
to respect Secretary Stanton's orders. So
does Postmaster General Randall. Grand
father Welles, of the Navy cannot even get
corps of marines to oust Stanton. The
Secretary of the Interior makes no sign,
and the Attorney General had not been
heard from at last accounts. The entire
Cabinet is 'demoralized, and johnson even
more so than his subordinates. Never
since the organization of the Government
has there been such contemplate Execu-
tive Administration. 1t represents nobody.
Republicans spurn it Copperheads despise
it; even Rebels scorn it. There is not an
official connected with it, from the highest
to the lowest officer who compromised his
Republican principles to save his Office, that
will not be held in the most thorough con-
tempt by every true man.

WHY ?-For some time past the Copper
head Democracy have been engaged in try
ing to create the impression that the govern
ment was cheated out of large sums of
money by its officers. We could not account
for this hue and cry, until upon an examin-
alton of Commissioner Rollins report to the
United States Treasurer, we discovered that
there was large decrease in the revenue
collected in Pennsylvania, except in the 10Th
district. Now, it is a notorious fact, that in
most Of the collection districts in this State,
Mr.. Lincoln's appointees have peen remov-
ed by Andrew johnson, and Copperheads
appointed in their stead This accounts

On the day of Mr.. Stanton re-instate-
ment in the War Office by the Senate, he
drafted letter of resignation, intending, af-
ter three or four days of quiet possession of
the Office, to forward this letter to the Pres
ident. That it was not so sent was solely
in consequence of the actively hostile atti-
tude which the President instantly assum-
ed, and which in fact forbade the Secretary
to make any personal concessions whatever.
