Wo Remands Impeachment for Drunkenmess in Cffice, Indecent, Inflammatory and Ban- gerous Harangaes and the Usurpa- tion of Legislative Powers.

Hotter last eveulng uncorked the phials of hts tong. dottied up wrath in the Academy of Musto, Brook: ‘aye, inn lecture entitied, “The usurpations, wrongs and “mbusce of Executive power, and the constitutional reme- @es therefor.” The General has long desired to deliver ‘eimself of this lecture, which bas been for some time prepared; and it would, no doubt, have been given #0 the world before this had the boya in the City Hall Park, on a late occasion, been of the same ilk as the “Brooklyn fraternity,” under whose auspices he made ‘ais début last evening. ‘The Academy was filied in every part, and, bottle or no Yotile, the house, in theatrical parlance, was a bumper, the immenee audience paying for entré fifty vents to all parte but the platrorm, for seats on which one dollar was the charye. Aramor bad got abroad that the General, though in- “hed to deliver his lecture by the “Brooklyn fra- ‘ternity,”” would not receive a very fraternal grevting, ‘and Inspector Folk, with many of his officia} folks, were en band, occupying seats in private citizen’s clothes, in ‘@Mferent parts of the house, The precaution was jodivi- ‘eos, but unnecersary, The audience was one that might easily have been supposed to have been drawn from Plymouth church itself, so evenly divided were the two @exes, and #0 quictly and attentively was the lecturer “Tietened to, At& quarter past-eight o’clock General Rutler made ‘thie appearance on the stage, and was greeted with con- siderable cheering and applanse.

Nay, it 18 there in words:—‘“Gongress shall have power to provide for the common defence and general welfare ot the United States.” (Cheers.) Let no traditions of government; let no mere forms of law: no circumlocu- tions of statecraft, or any of the clogs of the dead past prevent the edneation af the Southern people. Urged by the warnings of history, I plead as for my life for this, the only assurance of the success of this greatest, and ff tt fail this last experiment of freedom and happi- ness of the people, untrodden by despotism, With the wailing cry of him who sees the ark of safety forever disappearing in the whirling waste of waters, I pray that the intelligence and Christianity of our educated people ‘may turn aside the wand of the Muse of History point- ing downward the course of our country, to follow i: the long ranke of buried republics, to guide us in a triumphal march, onward! npward, forever! VIGILANCE AND INTHCRITY ALXO NECESSARY, Will these so great safeguards be sufficient withont that vigilance and integrity of the people which shall wateh and resist the first so dangerous encroachments of Exeentive power? Nothing con be more fata) to liberty than the listless carelessness which passes over unheeded the first eteps of usurpation, All history teaches that no despot has ever seized upon the liberties of a people until the people were familiarized by frequent allusions tw its possibility. THE GREAT CRIME OF SUGGRSTING THAT A DICTATOR 18 POSSIDLE: IN THIS COUNTRY. Whoever, then, shat! suggest the possibility that the form of our ¢: ment may be changed, and that a “king” or a ir’? may seize the liberties of the people, commits a great crime and misdemeanor against free government. It is an insult to the intelligence and virtue of the people to sup- pose that thing possible. The Roman Jaw |s said not to have contained any penalty against a child killing his parent, because by making a provision against so horrid # crime the law wonld suppose parri- cide possible, So there is no expressgenactinent in our constitntion and laws to punish the ‘Gotaration that any n by the nse of the patronage of the government and 1 my and navy of the peoplo may take away their Nberties and make himeelf either king or dictator, ; but the crime of undermining the confidence and afiection of the people to their Institutions is not ‘therefore less, and all the greater when it emanates from high official posi- tion, The hope, wish or thought of the possi bility, pub- Hely expreseed by any officer of the government, civil or military, that be could become the tyrant of the people, nnder whatever name, is a heinous offence, for which the constitution has provided a sure and conserva- tive remedy. IMPEACHMENT FSTABLISHRD AB A REMEDY FOR USURPATION AND MISKRMAVIOR IN OFFICE, triot heroes, founding a government, of iteelf revolution springmg from the oppresvions of a king and an irresponsible miaistry, availing them- selves of every safeguard of British freedom declared in Magne Charta, added thereto trequency of election of the Chief Executive and the legislative branch of the State; but, mindful that the Roman Consuls, although annually elected even, contrived to vaurp power until they became dictators, contemning the maxim that a king contd do no wrong, and impressed with the fact, from sad experience, that princes and ministers of state were not sagels of grace, carefully provided for us pation of power and all misbehavior in office the great conatitational, conservative remedy of impeachment and removal. (Cheers ) JUDGE UMPHREYS IMPFACHED FOR aDveCcATING WIGHT OF ¥ECKERION, The last and most Jnteresting case of impeachment at tho present juncture was that of Judgo Humphreys of Tennessee upon the complaint of Andrew Johnson, in im June, 1562, (Cheers,) Une of the charges against Ham- phreys, of which he was unanimously found guilty by the Seuate, was that at Nashville, on the 29th day of De- camber, 1860, at a public meeting, be ‘did | then ‘and there publicly declare that it Was the right of the — of waid State by the ordinance of secession to absolve themselves from allegiance to the ent of the United States, the eonstitntion and laws thereof.” Alnong the artieles af hroent against Humphreys was a charge that es Confederate Judge, after the seces- sion of Tennessee, he had decreed the confiscation of the property of Avdrew Johneon. Upon this charge be wae acquitted. This case is excecdingly instructive, — It determines that a epeech may be am impeachable offence. Every Senator, thirty-eight in nomber, democrata included, voted thet # political ‘speech by a United States officer in a public meeting before the war, advocating secession, was a bigh crime and misfemeanor. But Judge Humphreys only advanced publicly the right of secession which had been advocated m the South for thirty years by Calhoun and hie disctples. How much would bave been saved to the country if the first utterer of it bad been impeached! What a iesson is taught us that the first utterances o? officials dangerous to liberty and law should be prompily punished, however high the offender may be. let justice be done though the heavens fall. (Cheers. ) ANDREW JOUNBON COMPLAINANT If PSTOPPED TO DENY TRE POWER OF CONGRESS TO IMPYACH HIM. Avdrew Johnson was n complainant in this case, so that he is concluded by it to deny, first, that ay im- proper public speech of & high official is impeachable; rocond, that a House of Representatives trom which eleven States are excluded is not a constitutional Honse, with the power of impeachment, and that a Senate from which twenty-two members are excluded are not a consti- tutional court to try and determine an impeachment. Humphreys, when summoned before the Senate, refused to appear, and was tried and convicted in his absence, So that Androw Johnson, the complainaut, and every demveratic Senator of that day, and a majority of the republican senators of the present Senate are concluded by their votes aud acte under their solemn oaths, npon every disputed question that wold possibly arise upon an itapeachment of the President of the United States, save one, which we will directly discuss, Let us re- peat, the President, House and Senate have solemuly committed themselves to the proposition that a House from which the representatives of eleven States are ex- cluded {8 a constitutional House for the purpose of an imposchment of a high officer of the United States, ADYOCATING AN UNLAWYUL ACT A HIGH CRIME, WORTHY OF UMPRACRMRNT, ‘That the advocacy by a high officer of the United ies of an unlawful proposition in # political speech ie mofictent ground of impeachment.

A question srose, however, whether whon a peor of the realm waa impeached he could beiore trial be suspended from his function in the House of Lords. This wee denied by the Lords and asserted by the Commons, ae it would seem to be manifestly im Proper for an officer to exercise the dnties of his office ‘while being tried for bigh crimes and mis@meanors, To provide against such controversy in the future, in our constitution it ie declared that “The President, Vice President and ail other civil officers may be removed from office upon impeach for and conviction of bery end other Might crimes and mrsdemean ors.” Uf the oificer could only be removed of suspended trom the exercise of his office upon conviction, that being ngninat the custom of Perliament, it would have been expressly «© enacted in the constitution, but the exact contrary are tbe words of the consttation, the officer boing removable “vpon impeachment for and convietion of Digh crimes and misdemeanors,’ 4nd the higher the offrer the more need that he shall be removed from office lest he shall by influence corrapt both witnesses a ble.

In early times, when the favorites of the King wore impeacheé the monarch, to save his creatures, used to dissolve the Parlinment to put an end to the prosecution; bat afterwards it was resolved, and finalty determined im the case of Warren Hastings, that the impeachment did not die with the Parliament We thus have carefully examined the constitutional remedy for usurpation and oflicial misconduct, We have seen that it is aptly fitted to be, and ought to be, applied at the nearest appreach of danger or wrong Withont waiting ull they have ripened inw outrage and disaster, 18 ANDREW JOUNSON GUILTY THE CHARGES, The only inquiry that retains to us is wpether com- mon fame or current history charges any officer of the government with declara'ions or acts dangerous to the permanency of our institutions and the liberties of the people, xe that they are satisfied that for the ‘ general welfare of the United States” thie remedy ought. to bo applied, as well te meet the beginnings of wrong in high places as to punish the offender as a warning to all others daring thus to sin, Because if the jadgment and eonacience of the loyal people of the country are not watistied of the guilt of the accused ani the righteousness: ‘of his punishment, he becomes not a criminal but a martyr, whatever may be the official verdict against him. And indeed in this, as in all other governmental action, wie representatives ef the people should only echo their thought and do their behest. What, then, is the judgment of tho people upon the official con- duct of the “Vice President of the United States discharging the powers and duties devolved upon bim by the death’ by assassination of the President, such being the exact constitutional definition of his present office? In thia inquigy tec ns proceed upon the “evidence” by which he might *be impeached, well grounded common fame. As one of the peple, then, I harge that Andrew Johnson bas committed high crimes and misdemeanors in office in many particulars, but which may be grouped under these geveral charges: — DRUNKENNESS IN_ OFFICE, Therefore I charge Andrew Johnson, as well while Vice President as while discharging the powers and du- ties of President of the Uniled States, with degrading and debasing, even while taking the oath of office, the station and dignity of the office of Vice President and that of President, by indecently exhibiting and exposing himself upon official and public occasions in a state of drunkenness, by the voluntary use of intoxicating liquore, to the great scandal and disgrace of the whole people of the United States and the government thereof. (Applauso.) As to the speci- fication and evidence of the first charge of public drunkenness, if common uncontradicted fame speaks truly, and that it does in this instance, the blush of shaine which mantles the cheek of every trne American when the occurrence is mentioned, is the highest guarantee—then every Senator who witnessed the dis- graceful stammering tongue of the Vice President as he mumbled his oath of office, and slobber d the Holy Book with a drunken kiss, will be at once the witness and judge— (applause) —and to other like public and dis- graceful exhibitions almost every depot and station taster between Washington and St. Louis can give evi- dence. (Laughter and cheer.) Indeed, it wore Chris. tian, kindly charity to believe that the speeches made on those occasions had that excuse, be- cause then they would be errors of the ‘head, wherein an “enemy bad been put to steal away the brain,” and might be reformed; but a heart that could send forth such nttorances, specially that made by Andrew Johnson at Niagara, wherein he said he was glad that by the constitution he was made Presi- dent, van never be made better save by the omnipotence of Divine Grace, That I may do Mr, Jobnson vo wrong I will give bis words a3 reported on that occasion :— ‘fhe victory was obtained and | was made Vice Prosident of the United States. Can’t you see the gradation comes along regularly? And then by the constitution of the country I was made President. I am glad of it.” (Laughter.) Is Andrew Jobnson guilty or not guilty of this charge and specification? How say you, fellow citizens, was he drunk or sober? (Applause and Taughten.) INDUCKNT, INFLAMMATORY AND D/NCEROUS NARANC l charge Andrew Jobnson, Vice-President, disctareing the powers and duties of the President of the United States, and sworn faithfully to execute the same, with officially and pubhely inaking declarations and. intem. matory harangues, fudecent and unhecomiag and in derogation of his high office, dangerons to*the porm: ency of our republican form of government, and with intent and design to excite the ridicule, fear, hatred and conteropt of the people against the legisiative and juut- cial departments thereof, The second charge of making indecent and inflammatory haranvuns, degrading the position as the Executive head of the most civilized and intelicctual nation in the world, has many specifications, aod is sustained by much evidence. The obnoxious THE Another whether a uestion lament being prorogued or dissolved, the impeachm IMVEACHABLE OPFENCES?— declarations of Mr. Johnson are all of them public speeches, made either to comruittens or from the rostrum, in defer of his policy, or attacks upon individuals or other branches of the government. They may ve divided into two classes, the indecentand the dangerous ard in- flammatory. Can there be anything more indecent and degrading to the office of President of the United States than the exbivition made by Andrew Jobnsou on the 22d of Febroary last in that speech, tor which there is, unfortunately for the honor of the country, not the apology that he was drunk? Als characterization of e editor of a leading journal, who certainly up to that time had deait with him in courteous I “dead duck,” (laughter); the tone, th ovcasion are all criminally beneath the dignity office he occupies. Again, on th: Ppy neral journey, his vituperative deunnciations by name of some of the best and purest of the land, calling a Senator, a Representative and a gifted orator, each and all of them true and tried patriots beyond doubt or cavil of any sound mind, ‘traitors’? snd threat- ening them with death, to raise a vulgar laugh. His threats at St. Louis to “kick out’ of office whoever should oppose hie policy; his vulgar attack, ut the same place, npon a taw which he himselt had signed, appealing to prejudice against the blacks by arguing thut Congr + had given the negro soldier (#100) one hundred dotlars dounty, and to the white soldier only fifty dollare.

An insurrection had ripened Into a public temri- torial war, recognized by the ®xecutive, een and judicial eee the United and the {doce states ned become, Uy their own, and. the set of those States ir own of their communities, aud the effect of domestic violence ‘and war, armed pubhe enemies; and, im the lan- oof Andrew Johnson's proclamation, “Rebellion in ite revolutionary progress privea those ament.” Armed hostilities bad States of all Civil ceased, Their people had become disarmed public sne- mies, sxrrendered as paroled prisoners of wer. If we look at them as belligerents we had captured them and all their rights, (Applause.) If we look at them as rebellious subjects, they had forfeited their lives, their property and all their righte by treason and rebellion. Whichever way you take it, they had lost all, we bad gained all, by capture in war and {rem forfeiture by crime. By whom then was peace to be concluded, hostli ties ceasing? By the President alone?’ Cortainly not. A peace in a foreign war cannot be made by the President without two-thirds of the Senate, much jess in a civil war, where the duties of rebellions citizens and tho rights which ought to be restored to them must be setled by law, Who could enact any plan, po- licy or method of reorganizing these conquered territories ‘deprived of all civil government?” Congress alone. Andrew Johnson attempted it, He appointed rebel Gov- ernors for seven of them. By whatright? He directed those Governors to “preseribe rales and regulations tor convening @ convention,’’ composed ut delegates to be chosen by that portion of the people of said State who are loyal to the United States, and no others, for the purpose of altering and amending the constiiution there- of, strictly and grammatically construed he thus ordered a convention to alter the constitution of the United States; but we must pot expect too much of a head of the nation who did not know that James the cond did not lose his head, ‘Taking it, however, as meant, by what law, constitutional or other, waa all this pretended 40 be done? I venture to say, as a lawyer, that no singie provision of law or constimtion can ‘bo found that will give color of justification to this unheard-of procedare, Looking at Mr. Johnson’s proclamation for reorganizing North Carolina I ‘tnd his clairo of Pome to do itin these wiect the pee or oe in its revolutionary progress deprived the people of the State of North Carolina of all eivit government, and whereas it becomes necessary and proper to carry out and enforce the obligations of the United States to the people of North Carolina in securing to them the enjoy- ment of @ republican form of government,’ 1, Andrew Johnson, do. &c., &e, But did Andrew Johnson give to the people government republican in form? What is republican government? It is that ander which a ma- jority of the people can take part in electing their own. rulers and enacting their own laws. Excluding the negroes, as the proclamation does, will any- body pretend that a majority of the white people even of North Carolina were ‘oyal May 29, 1865, when the rebel soldiers had not got home? The whoie actiop of the Executive in this behalf was a most palpable and flagrant usurpation of the power of Con- gress; acts which even the judges of the Southern States have declared unconstitutional, although done in their bebalf. The wicked object and intent of this usurpation js seen in the fact that Andrew Johnson has ever since fought aud denounced Congress for not permitting its consummation, although bv its fruits undoing almost all that was done by the war in bringing the South to such & proper spirit of subjugation as to make a truly loyal tan safe there in bis home, CORRUET USK OF THE APPOINTING POWER. I charge Andrew Johnzon with wickedly and corruptly using and abnsing the constitutional power of the Preai- deni of nominating to office and filling vacancies in office during the recess of the Senate, and removing from office with intent and design to, undermine, overthrot and ovado the power of advising and conzenting to a) pointments to office vested in the Senate by the constitu. tion, and for the further corrupt purpose of controlling the freedom of the election by the people, of membei of the House, tn order to put the House of Representa- tives in the hands of men lately in rebellion ageinst or evilly disposed towards the government. Fellow citi- zens, is 1t not time that these removals from office with- out canse, and to pamper the ambition or gratify the par- sions of any man, be stopped? It will never be done if we let Mr. Johuson’s precedent go unpunished, ARUSE OF PARDONING POWE!. I charge Andrew Johnson with improperly, wickedly and corruptly using and abnsing the constitutional power ‘of pardons for offences against the United States, and in order to bring traitors and rebels into places of bonor, trnst and profit under the government of the United States, and to screen whole classes of criminals from the penaltios of thefr crimes agaiust the laws thereof. Ag ta the Afth charge—the shuse of the power of pardons, While the fact is admitted that thonsands of rebels have been pardoned for their crimes without investigation, | and solely upon the recommendation of other rebels; | yotitiv sad, as the conatitntion gives the President the un- limited power to perdon, why may he not pardon as many | as he pleases without doing any legal wrong? The an- swer is obvione. There aro many powers in government right if properly used, crituinal if nsed wrongfolly or with & wrong motive, Let me illustrate. Almost avery Gover- re has the untimited power ot pardon. Sup- ernor ip mere wantonness should pardon and tei free at once ail the couvici# im the Penitentiary; world any man doubt that that would be @ great crime for which ho might be impeached? Yet there is no statute law against it, Suppose he should pardon one murderer that he might revenge himself upon his enemy. Wonild any ove doubt that such pardon was a me be. cause of the motive, ony os the Governor had the power todo it? Now what has been the motive of An- drow Jobhson for nis indiscriminate pardons? It was to restore property w rebels which by the confiscation laws belonged to the United States, or to enable rebels to hold office and thus to conc!liate them to bimeelf. No better illustration of the design of this exercise of the pardoning power can be given than tho pardon of Jobn 'T. Monroe that he might b» Mayor of New Orleans. It bore its appropriate fruit , bloodshed and murder. APPOINTING REBKIS (0 POWER AGAINST LAW. I charge Andrew Johnson with knowingly and wilfully ng the constitutionally enacted laws of the States by appointing disloyal men to office, and, ly and without right, giving tothem the emolu- ments of sneb office from’ the treasury, well knowin, the appoiniees to be ineligible to office, Hundreds offices were Mlied at the South, in the several depart- ments, by men who were known rebela. When Con- gress inquired fnto thes» acts what do you suppose was the answer? Why, that there were no loyal men in the districts to fil the office. What an excuse! If there were no loyal men what the need of the office at all for for disloyal men? Must the office be filled against iaw ? Were there not hundreds of maimed and wounded sol. diors, black and white, who could have been sent South, who would have filled those offices a precious sight better than Andrew Johnson does the one he has dropped into? (Loud cheers.) KEPUSING TO EXPCUTE THE LAWS, 1 charge Andrew Johnson with knowingly and wilfully neglecting und refusing to execute and carry out the constitutional laws of Congress in the insurrectionary Sta'es to order to faver and encourage men lately in re- belifon and im arma against the United States, to the oppression and jujury @f the loyal and true citizens of wuch States, The chargo that he bas refused to exe ute the laws Ix too notoriously and sadly true to be contro- pa ga I will detain you %. oy i instance or two only. Congrose passed a law that all property used in aid of the rebollion should, when captured, 4 prize of war, and thereby the property of the United States, ‘That law. #o just and proper, is still unrepealed. We ali remember what tremendour aid was given to the armios — rebellion by tho energetic use of the Southern iroade in traneporting t mont of them being ran by the companies that owned ther, ‘These roads were ail captured, but every ope of them hax been given back to their rebel owners, although the iuterests of the Northern stoclahoiders in then had bean confiscated by the rebela, (Applause.) Again, Congress law that the property of certain leaders of the rebellion, whopever it-carus late our possession, should be confie- cated for the use of the armies of the United Siaies. ‘That law ie unrepealed, Yot Andrew Johnson, sworn to execute the lawe which made ft his duty to contiecate “Tt abalt be the ferenaid for the aroun, when sbooee ate for the purposes id,” proceas of cuntiecation or seizure, although in bis proclamation of restoration he orders the Attorney Gen- eral to have the confispation laws executed. Thus showing that he knew the Isw, but, accordiig to what ne calls ‘ie pollens wilfully defies it, Again. ord a direct tax of twenty million: of the loyal North paid our portion of it Im addition to our other burdens. The Southern portion was made a lien upon their property and land, and ju maoy States the tax commissioners were proceeding to collect the tax according to law, when they were atopped by Executive order, and the taxo# remain uncoilected to thie day. If these laws ought not to be executed, let them be repealed; but while in force let them be executed, or the officer failing in his duty be punished for it I have yat, however, to kee the message of Andivew Jobnson to Congress urging the repea) of either of these laws. Once more: The Civil Rights bill was paseed by Congress over the veto of Andrew Johnson. (Loud cheers.) Do we not hear daily of wrong and outrage and murder done upon the freedimon and Union men in every rebellious Staet Have we not heard from oficial re- porte that in Texas a doven murders daily of negroes ure taking place without cheek, and that five hundred indictments for murders are ati! untried fn that Stato alone? Have there not boon a score of convietions by competent courts for felony and mur der sent up to the Execetive, and been before him for months, aud are yet unexecuted or pardoned / and for the tmarder of no colored man hat & white man, although convicted, been allowed to be executed by Andrew Jobn- son. Military orders protecting loyal nen have been deemed inoperative because of the Civil Rights bill, and t t made a dead letter by the clogs of the Executive, 1 Sheridan—(cheers)—awerta that Unitd States pS “aro unsafe in reconstructed Johnsonian Tetus ide of their own camps.’’ And yet. with ail thir itrage, crime, anarchy avd murder unchecked, men oub' whether the cause and occasion of it all in the Vresidential chair ought to te impeached!

Most of- fenders against the law would be, but does that purge his offences against free institutions and free governmout ¥ 4s soon as the great victory was won over the rebellion, scheming politicians plotted to give up all that we had gained by arms, and the spirit of rebellion grew ram- pant. Now that the people have won a great triumph by the ballot, let not the fruits of victory be lost by a new set ot political manquyres, and the relns of power again given to those who have Letrayed us, It was then said we must give up all we had won because we bad ex- torted by arms universal freedom; now it is claimed that we mast yield all that justice demands beeanse by the ballot we bave forced universal suffrage, Must this gov- ernment ever be carried on upon a wretched system ot swappings and compromises? May at never be admin- istered upon the great principles of trath and justice, to the Send that it may be a government of laws and not men.” THERE 18 NO DANGER FROM TIE ARMY. But it is said if an impeachment is attempted the executive will resist by the aid of the army and navy. Then he will add treason to his other offences, and if he can successfully oppose the people in the ‘exercise of their constitutional rights, then our liberties are Indeed already gone forever. If by the forms and in the map- ner preseribed by the constitution, this government cannot examine, try and punish any criminal, however high in office, tis not worth preserving. (Applause. ) Bat let the timid fear not, and the weak quake not. The army and navy are loyal and true, and will obey no ille- gal, treasonable orders from anybody; but, if it were possible for them to do otherwise, they would be swept away before the majesty of a people rising ax in 1861, to preserve 4 nation’s life. (Applause.) I have been told, indeed, that the Secretary of State has threatened that the Representative who voted an impeachment will tind Dimeelf in the Old Capitol Prison! Be itso, The trea- sonable “tinkle of that little bell’? that sounds that order will be the death-knell of the tinkler. (Laughter and applause.) I will not believe the threat was ever male. if it is made, let ue see the recreant Reprezenta- tive of the people so great a coward as not to vote an impeachment, under such au Executive threat, It had been better for him he had never been born, “His country’s curse, his children’s shame, Outeast of virtue, peace and fame.” We have paid five billions of dollars and a half million of lives to preserve our free government. We will not yield it to nsurpation now. THE TRUE COURSE TO SPTTLE THIR XOW, It is said let us wait und see what the future course of the Executive may be, If aman cheat me once, it is his fault. If he cheat me twice, it ix my fauit. the promptings of self-preservation, the dictates of po- Jitical wisdom, the inepiration of statesmanshbip, all teach that it is better to have this great trial of our government come in 1867, than postponed till 1869; then to be complicated with a Presi- ntial election, and the question whether electors from rebel.States are to dictate the choice of a Presi- dent. to the loyal North, and also perhaps with « foreign war with all the power it gives to the Exeen- tive to control a free people. No, if that “little bell is to sound,” it is better that its tinkle be heard now, when we have, and shall have for two years, a loysl majority of more than two-thirds in the government to tonfite its clapper. (Applanee and laughter.) Such a contest, when ever it may come, will show that the strength, perma- ne! and safety of this government rests not in execu- tive or legisiative or judicial departments, not in the army or navy, but in the education, virtve and intelii- ence of the whole people, prizing their liberties, valn- ing their free institutions, proud of their country as the great exemplar to sho# menkind that equal power, equal lawe, equal rights and equal justice are the true attrioutes of democratic elective government.
