GENERAL BUTLER's IMPEACHMENT SPEECH.
The impeachment correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette telegraphs the following
reference to this speech on Monday;
The only matter which occupies general
attention tonight is General Buffers speech.
It is the subject of universal conversation,
and its ability is admitted on all sides.
The senate was filed, both on the
floor and in the galleries, to hear
it, and the attention given it by
senators, and in fact by all, is almost I'M
precedented. The presidents counsel, and
especially Mr.. Stanbery, seemed very un-
easy under much of it. The allusion to the
attorney general, after quoting from his
predecessors, was fully appreciated, as was
the setting forth Of Rsverdy Johnson's
position in connection with his letter to the
Democrats of Baltimore and the rights OF
challenge.
The counsel were also evidently annoyed
with the riddling Butler gave the presidents
reasons as set forth in his answer to the
tenth article. The rapid succession OF those
thrusts made by Butler were recognized by
the whole house. The effect upon members
is better shown by the action OF the hcuse
ON returning to its chamber, when by
vote of eighty to twenty the rules were sus-
pended, and On motion OF Mr.. Sehenck forty
thousand copies were ordered to be printed.

Civil Government Of the q. s.
No. a.

We have seen that God, a being Of
infinite wisdom, goodness, and power, is
the great lawgiver. His law is found
in the Holy Scriptures and in nature,
The Holy Scriptures are sometimes call.
ed the divine law and sometimes the
revealed will of God"
God in his revealed will has given us
such laws as are based on the eternal
and immutable precepts of good and
evil, these laws are supreme over all his
creation, in all countries, and at all times.
They consist of general principles and
precepts, applicable to every possible
circumstance and condition of life. 1t is
left therefore to the exercise of our rea-
son and judgment to apply them in gov
erning our conduct and making laws for
the purpose of business and society.
ALI human laws, therefore, should be
in conformity with the divine law, as the
object of law is the protection of rights
and the enforcement of justice and equal
ity among men. Any human law which
commands us to disobey the law Of God
is not binding and should not be obey
ed for the law of God forms a perfect
rule of action for all mankind. The
Scriptures speak approyingly of men who
refused to obey certain human laws and
who gave as a reason for so doing, that
it was their duty to obey God rather
than men.
And history also furnishes many in
of good men who suffered tor
lure and death rather than to submit to
The human laws which they knew to be
contrary to the will of God. But there
are some things which ere not common.

for instance, as The exporting goods and
merchandise from y country to anOth-
er, man IN such cases is guided by his
own interests and can make that lawful
which before was unlawful and ''Utee
versG."
Il may be further observed that the
divine law not only applies to our acts
but also to our thoughts and intentions.
1t requires US to harbOr no i'll will toward
any One-tO be pure minded, and 10 love
God supremely, these PreCepts refer to
those things which are beyond the reach
of human laws. they therefore cannot be
carried into effect by civil government
As human laws can apply only to the acts
of persons, irrespective of their thoughts
or intentions, the mere intent to commit q
crime is known only to him who seett
and knoweth all things. 1t. therefore, L
not punishable by any human laws, un'
less that intent is carried into execution
by doing some act or committing th'
crime intended, the act or crime Is theE
punishable. JUNIUS.
