Senator Eaton, OF Connecticut, pronounced
boldly in favor Of impeac;iiag{ tiia President,
Cor restoring order and preventing bioedshcd
in Louisiana. Senator Andy johnson, OF leh-
nessee, said his action was s'Gsulpat!on." Sen
ator NitherS, CT Virginia, could not vote for
the resolution approving the President S course
il preserving the peace in louisiana because
it would set dangerous precedent, #nd might
enbarrass the future action OF the Senate i'll
cases OF impeachment that might possibly
arise Sich are the ojEtgiyipgs OF the new
Democratic Senators. Because the President
has sternly demanded the enforcement OF the
laws, the protection ofAnerican citizens, and
asserted tile supremacy and TIE dignity OF ma
tionaf authority in SURPRISING Instruction
and checking anarcly, these gentlemen. repre-
senting the fresh eX,5resson OF the Democratic
party, proclaim to .ie American people that he
should be tnpes ehcd.
1t is a strange condition OF things to con-
template. Senator Withers represents Virgin
Ia i'll the j. S. Senate. lie was chosen to that
position by the Conservative party Virginia.
i That party owes its existence to the magma
l
her representation in the national councils, to
| the confidence OF Gen. Grant, and the for
bearance and kindness OF the Republican par
II. Yet Senator Witliers, the creature OF these
events. is scarcely warm in his senatorial, seat
before lie rises i'll his place and denounccs the
President as 81 usaYper and strongly intimates
the contingency of his impeachment
/ 4.
from these expressions, and that is, the success
OF the Democratic party means reyo!uton-it
means civil WARRIOR the popular impulse Of
the nation would resent to the EXTREMIST de-
gree any attempt to ariaign upon charge Of
usnrpation the President for merely enfoI-
be, by the men who had failed in slsbvertino
the government in the conflict of arms.
The question to be considered by the people
| is whether the doctrine OF State Sovereignty il
to prevail over shat of constitutional liberty
whether a condition OF chronic anarchy is tx
exist over the recognized authority Of the la
tional government to maintain order through
out the limits OF the country, impeachment
simply means, that anarchy is preferable t
! peace and order-thlt blootlshed and insurrec
ton are paramount to the enforcement OF tht
laws. State Sovereignty, as Interpreted b.
these embryo itnpeachers, means stlboreli
nate national authority perpetual strife, ant
bloody conflict. The popularresponseto these
bold declaration in the United States Senate
will be that the Union must and shall be pre-
seryed-the laws must and shall be enforced
and national authority recognized.

Senator NoWlin, Of the Legislature of Virgin
ia, drew the following picture Of the lesisla-
ton OF Virginia for the past one hundred days.
1t is true to the life, and coming from one Of
the partcirators in the proceedings, which
have thus resulted, no one has a right to dis
pute the accuracy Of the sketch. We copy from
the Wing Of the 20th in detailing the proceed
ings On the constitutional amendments in the
Legislature:
Mir. Nowlin, among others, opposed the mo-
ton to reconsider as staying the progress OF
these amendments so salutary and SO necesss-
ry to the welfare Of the Common wealth. Mir.
Nowlin i'll the course OF his remarks said: .sIhe
people Of this Commonwealth are indignant,
and Justly indignant. at th. course Of the Gem
erai Assembly, its Waste Of time, the excess OF
legislation and recklessness Of the people S
money. The people, he said, would be better
of IL the General Assembly met but once in
five years instead Of annually, as now, or ben-
:.ialv as proposed in the pending amendments.
What has the Legislature done during the hun
bred DAYS Of its present session? The work OF
the session has been printed and laid upon or
desks. Can any one point to q single act i'll I'll
this ponderours and easily volume OF value TO
the State? On the contrary, tllcra a-e many
which are preiulciai will undertake for every
che act that can be shown Of use and benelit 10
the people to point ont ten which are injurious to
their interests i'll one way Or another. We
have relieved some four OF FIVE dozens OF sher-
IFS and collectors from the payment OF their
just dues to the State; we have encouraged
t:iilug petitions by reminding taxes AZ the cost
Of hundreds to the State. when q mai has had
his lands surveyed and finds he has been taxed
upon y few acres more than las has. The Cen
eral Assembly is becoming q mere lobbying
concern. Our desks have eyeraowa with acts
Of Incorporation. when the days aVlAyeeiss chat
have been wasted upon them might as well.
and BETTER have been saved by leaving these
LITTLE corporations to be dealt with by the Cir
cuit courts It is fixed in the minds OF the peo-
pie that the Legislature meets too often, sits
too long, and wastes TOO mach OF their money
Who is prepared to deny it? I say that the
people are right. repeat. what have we done
CT real good to the State? Shaw me one thing.

ed Of in this body OF importance enough to jus

The Albany Journal says to those who are
founding all their calculations CT the Presidency
upon the last elections:
And now. suppose the Republican party
carry Ohio and Pennsylvania this year-say

Which NAV also be carried with the right kind
Of a fiuht-wat then would be the outlook
for 1876? wouldn't the face OF the situation
be. very materially changed? Wopldn't the
prospect be very different from what it was
after the last elections? There is good reason
to expect tllsb the Republicans will carry both
Of these States. and carrying them, there is no
reasoll why they should not carry the Presi-
