Third Additional Articie.-For that
Andrew johnson, President Of the United
States, by his corrupt practices, did at
tempt TO induce the Senators elect from
the State Of Colorado to perjure them
selves upon the condition Of his SHINING

as State, and thereby admitting them
as Senators Of the United States gl
He did also pardon and restore the
right OF franchise 10 one hundred and
nineiy.three deserters, who, during the
war, deserted from the United States
army, upon condition that they would
vote for the Democratic party at the then
immediately ensuing election; that they
did thus vote, and gave to the Demo-
cratic agent, Hon. Thomas B. Florence,
the sum Of $1,000 in cash.
He appointed numerous persons TO
office who could not take the test oath,
aud did not take it, but were allowed TO
act and discharge the functions thereof
in defiance Of law u
He ordered agricultural scrip to be
issued to the State of North Carolina,
which scrip was issued under the act OF
1862, when North Carolina was in armed
warfare against the Union. 30 40 /
He restored, withoat authority of law
large tracts offorfeited property enough,
it is believed, to pay the national debt,
which had been forfeited under act OF
Congress, approved July IL, 1862. By
reason Of all which ouirsges this Govern
ment became impoverished, the people
embarrassed, the rebel raiders allowed to
flourish, aud the Constitution hagrautly
violated. he sold psrdons for moaey,
or allowed it To be done by pardon
brokers. aoi5s .1,ga dl kgsi
Fourth Additional Article.-He did
take from the Treasurer of the United
States large tracts of land and large
amounts of money, sufficient, it is be-
lieved, to have paid our national debts,
and which had been transferred 70 the
United States by act of July II, 1862, as
enemies property, to be applied to the
expenses Of the war. and the debts of the
United States. This was corruptly and
unlawfully done, without any authority
OF Congress. sar6sce rfWl
!, Fifth Additional Article He did
usurp the powers of other branches Of
the Government and exercise the legis-
lative power in defiance of the Constitu-
ton, in creating or attempting to create
new governments out of the territory
conquered from the " Confederate States
of America" so called, and to govern
them by his own mere power, by form
unknown to the Constitution, without
consulting Congress, but defying their
authority when they had spoken, and de-
nying the constitutionality of the laws Of
Congress enacted to govern said con-
quered territory. ailn- -

try. They could find no prosecutors,
although the land was filed with pimps,
spies and detectives They could hire
no false witnesses, although perjury was
at o premium. Aud. finally, they con-
fessed their guilt and exposed their
shame when, they demanded OF each pris.
oner that he do not prosecute them for
their crimes. Crimes against liberty 10
Aagrsnt, infamous and dastardly have
not reached us in the history Of other
governments-only ours can plead its
own example to justify its cruelty, du-
plicity and andaoity. iia'l e4i p l
Z n aiasqqa ! oua DUTY. = aat'1.
a This we oweto mankind, to perpetuate
those great principles for which we suf-
fered, and without which life itself would
be no longer blessing. We owe il TO
our children, to God, and liberty, TO vote
for no man guilty and unpurged Of these
crimes And to security, we owe il 70
vote for no one who did not defend lib
erty when thus assailed.
itiifheY OUR DEMANDS.
We ask nothing Of liberty which we
did not inherit from nature and our faith
ers. We demand nothing which is not
our own. We do not even demand the
just punishment of those criminals who
have forfeited their lives and liberty to
the offended law, by the oppression Of
Others. Having stood by constitutional
liberty when the cowardly forsook, when
the treacherous betrayed, and the timid
were struck dumb, we now appeal TO
freemen everywhere to stand for the right,
now that the cause of freedom is aban-
doned or betrayed by those who assume
its keeping. ssao n "

Amnesty Exceptions.

The Baltimore Sun speaks on this sub
ject:
The Presidents Fourth-of- July am
nesty proclamation seems to be consid-
cred by the Southern press as open to
the criticism which we expressed in our
comments upon the subject, OF not
sweeping away the isolated treason in
dictments which it suffers to remain ext
cepted from the otherwise general am
nesty. If there we're no other objection
to those exceptions, the waste OF time
and money upon proceedings which are
never expected to amount to anything
would be sufficient If there were q
proper sense of economy in the general
administration of public affairs at this
day, such proftless expenditures, merely
in appeasement of the rancor OF pre-
tended loyalisfs, would be determinedly
avoided. The Richpond Examiner says:
"Doling out Executive. clemency in
broken doses, conducting q : strictly re-
tail business in mercy, instead OF ADDING
dignity and grandeur TO the pardoning
power by general amnesty, has been
the cardinal error of Andrew johnson.
Weighing out lenioncy by the grain, hes.
itating and haggling over one individual
pardon, has been far more beneficial to
The greedy flock of pardon brokers than
to the fame of the President. And this
last instalment of Executive clemency,
though it removes the ban of outlawry
from such men as Lee, Mason, Breckin-
ridge and Early, still leaves ex-Presdent
Davis in the clutches of the Judicial car
rion crow Underwood. =,
II Is TO be regretted that this IS the
case; yet It is but just that the President
should receive large credit for the stales
manlike and humane course which he
has pursued in granting amnesty to SO
many from time to time
