Another Impeachment-
The Senator from Wisconsin, in re
cent speech, in Connecticut, in speak
ing of Impeachment says that as to tn
President his mouth Is shut, but tina
lfrom his'stand he does inpeach Con
gress at the Thar of the American PEG
pie and in the presence of High Heav
en-" of high crimes and misdemeanors
He says II impeach the radical policy
of the present Congress, first as crime
against the laws of nations, which Goo
the Almighty has stamped upon the
races Humankind, because it attempts
to force a7political and social and am
natural type of the human race, In the
home of the latter in the temperate
zone" Mr.. Doolittle's speech has been
inaccurately reported, but enough of Ii
remains to- show the animus of the
speaker. There is nothing inthe arga-
nent of this enthusiast of the white
race that has not been ,hashed and re-
hashed, over again by the advocates Of
human slavery. 1t was this white
mans government argument that had
brought US almost to the verge of ruin.
What greater right to the temperate
zone, of North America, has the Cau-
casian than the African The argu,
ment that would exclude. the african
would apply with equal force to the In
dian, the John Chfhaman, Jews and
Russians and yet the iatterdwelling of

by the gentleman from Wisconsin,, be-
cause they are not black Africans, It

four millions of this hybred race i'm our
country, equally as well acclimaled as

compelled by, the fiat of the Almighty
to grant? Liberty in the mouths of
such narrow, partizan, prejudiced
minds. as that of Senator ,Doolittle
means liberty for himself and his own
kindred, and slavery and oppression
for all others. There Is no christiani-
ty in these solemn, appeals to the Su.
preme Being-no pity, mo charity
What comm ission does the Honorable
Senator hold, that warrants him to
prese Mt articles of impeachment at the
great tribunal? He has unread all his
early scripturai teachings, if he ever
had any, and has worked up in his own
fancy deity that lives and moves and
has his being according to the theocrat
ical doctrines of slave code. He has
forgotten and so have the Democratic
party, that has recently taken him into
their immaculate bosoms, that the ears
of the Almighty are open to the cries
of the slave; that He has threatened
the mnrderers and the assassin, and de,
nounces with His declarations of ven-
geance the adulterer and the robber.
The appeal to the. American people is
partizan and selfish because, only di-
rected to the worst and basest passions
of our race. Senator Doolittle and his
coadjutors dare not appeal earnestly 10
the charity, the honesty and the intel
ligence of the white race against the
black. To do SO is to insult the noblest
attributes Of our race, those that have
been for centuries developing our NOR
al natures, that have given us the Dec
laration OF Independence, that prompt
ed Thomas Jefferson to say ~ tremble
for my country when / contemplate
this subject" and that inspired the
words Liberty and Union, now and
forever, one and inseperable." m asar g.
