Governor Holden's Inpeach-.
sas s fr1ont.

That nasty tenderness which fond.
les tue poor, dear murderer, aud saws
the ras isher has been only too acutely
moved BY emotions capable of making
him a grandsire in Israel if you let
him go, is work to defend Governor
Holden, of North Carolina, against the
articles Of impeachment. exhibited
against him by the Legislature of that,
State as laWless tyrant, an arrester,
an imprisoner, a putter upon the rack
of honest men unhappIly delivered over
by circumstances into his oppressive
hands. Tie charges against him are
eight in number, with many specifca-
tlons, each oae blaeker than the other.
and giving name, day, da;e, fact, and
circumstances, accusing him of inciting
]! war, of setting oo loot vagabond
standing ARMY, Of deiying the process
OF the courts and tearing up with ig-
nominy the writ of ha abeas corpus -
hateful alone to tyrants; Of arrestiug
and putting !nto IA stiuking iron cage,
side by side with murderer in few
days to be hanged, most estimable
private citizen and an uuimpugned
honest man; of hanging by the neck
another citizen, and letting him down

teen citizens ln one vicinage into Jail
and eighty three citizens 10 another;
OF drawing out, contrary to all law or
forms OF law, many thousands Of dollars
IRON the State treasury to keep his
truculeut soldiery on foot, and Of repel-
lug by force and fraud the effort to
prevent this or any other wrong BY

a fire brand, q kidnapper, brigaud, and
robb.r.
1t is to be hoped that, above all
things, the exactest justice be adhered
to IN this impeachment mat er; that to

have had Sd much of this putting OF

this paltry practitioner it coucerns the
whole country to see him get the fl

have said that the reason why America

British pluck which fired at insult to
