The Senate was notified February 25th, and the Articles of Impeachment were presented to that body March 4th. The following were the gist of the articles:

ARTICLE 1 Charged that the President did unlawfully, and in violation of the Constitution and laws of the United States, issue an order in writing, for the removal of Edwin M. Stanton from the office of Secretary of War, the same being done without the advice and consent of the Senate, then being in session.

ART. 2 Charged that the President, in violation of the Constitution of the United States, and contrary to the provisions of the Tenure of Office Act, without the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States, then in session, and without authority of law, did appoint one Lorenzo Thomas to be Secretary of War ad interim.

ART. 3 Reiterated the facts with regard to Thomas' appointment, founding the additional charge of illegality upon the fact of o vacancy having happened in said office of Secretary for the Department of War during the recess of the Senate, and no vacancy existing in said office at the time.

ART. 4 Charged that the President conspired with Thomas and others to deprive Secretary Stanton of his office, contrary to the provisions of an act entitled "An Act to define and punish certain conspiracies," approved July 31, 1861.

ART. 5 Charged that the President conspired with Thomas and others to defeat the execution of the Tenure of Office Act.

ART. 6 Charged the President with unlawfully conspiring with Thomas by force to seize, take and possess the property of the United States, in the War Department, contrary to the conspiracy act, and with intent to violate the Tenure of Office Act.

ART. 7 Charged that the President in conspiring to prevent the execution of the Tenure of Office Act, did unlawfully attempt to prevent Secretary Stanton from holding his office, and did commit a high misdemeanor in office.

ART. 8 Charged that the President, with intent unlawfully to control the disbursements of the moneys appropriated for the military service and for the Department of War, did appoint Thomas to be Secretary of War ad interim.

ART. 9 Charged the President with endeavoring to induce Gen. Emory to violate the laws and to receive and obey orders from him (the President) contrary to law.

ART. 10 Charged that the President, unmindful of his duties and the dignity of his office, and the harmony which ought to exist between the different branches of the Government, and designing to bring Congress into contempt, did on certain specified days, as well as on other occasions, deliver with a loud voice certain intemperate, inflammatory and scandalous harangues, and did therein utter loud threats and bitter menaces as well against Congress as the laws of the United States duly enacted thereby, amid the cries, jeers and laughter of the multitude then assembled and in hearing-reference being had to speeches at Washington, Cleveland and St. Louis, in 1866.

ART. 11 Charged the President with publicly denying the legality of Congress, or that its legislation was binding upon him; and

with attempting to prevent the execution of the Tenure of Office Act; with attempting to prevent Secretary Stanton's resuming his office although the Senate refused to concur in his suspension; and with attempting to defeat the execution of an appropriation act and also the act providing for the government of the rebel States.

Nelson, of Tennessee, all eminent lawyers.

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, 1868.

This body assembled in the Opera House, Chicago, on Wednesday, May 20th, every State and Territory having been represented. Governor Marcus L. Ward, of New Jersey, chairman of the National Republican Committee, called to order. General Carl Schurz, of Missouri, was temporary chairman, and General Joseph R. Hawley, of Connecticut, permanent President, with one Vice President and Secretary for each State. The first day was devoted to preliminary business and listening to speeches. On Thursday, 21st, the following platform was reported and unanimously adopted. THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES, assembled in National Convention in the city of Chicago, on the 21st day of May, 1868, make the following Declaration of Principles:

་

I. We congratulate the country on the assured success of the Reconstruction policy of Congress, as evinced by the adoption, in the majority of the States lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing Equal, Civil and Political Rights to all, and it is the duty of the Government to sustain these institutions and to prevent the people of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy.

II. The guaranty by Congress of Equal Suffrage to all loyal men at the South was demanded by every consideration of public safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and must be maintained; while the question of Suffrage in all the loyal States properly be longs to the people of those States.

III. We denounce all forms of Repudiation as a national crime, and the national honor requires the payment of the public indebtedness in the utmost good faith to all creditors at home and abroad, not only according to the letter but the spirit of the laws under which it was contracted.

IV. It is due to the Labor of the Nation that taxation should be equalized, and reduced as rapidly as the national faith will permit.

V. The National Debt, contracted, as it has been, for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should be extended over a fair period for redemption; and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of interest thereon, whenever it can be honestly done.

VI. That the best policy to diminish our burden of debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates of interest than we now pay, and must continue to pay so long as repudiation, partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or suspected.

VII. The Government of the United States should be administered with the strictest economy; and the corruptions which have

been so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical reform.

VIII. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and regret the accession to the Presidency of Andrew Johnson, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected him and the cause he was pledged to support; who has usurped high legislative and judicial functions; who has refused to execute the laws; who has used his high office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws; who has employed his executive powers to render insecure the property, the peace, liberty and life, of the citizen; who has abused the pardoning power; who has denounced the National Legislature as unconstitutional; who has persistently and corruptly resisted by every means in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in rebellion; who has perverted the public patronage into an engine of wholesale corruption; and who has been justly impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of thirty-five Senators.

IX. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European powers that, because a man is once a subject he is always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the United States, as a relic of feudal times, not authorized by the laws of nations, and at war with our national honor and independence. Naturalized citizens are entitled to protection in all their rights of citizenship, as though they were native-born; and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment by any foreign power for acts done or words spoken in this country; and if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to interfere in his behalf.

X. Of all who were faithful in the trials of the late war, there were none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of campaign and cruise, and imperiled their lives in the service of the country; the bounties and pensions provided by the laws for these brave defenders of the nation, are obligations never to be forgotten; the widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the people-a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation's protecting care.

XI. Foreign immigration, which in the past has added so much to the wealth, development and resources and increase of power to this republic, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations, should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy.

XII. This Convention declares itself in sympathy with all oppressed peoples struggling for their rights.

Resolved, That we highly commend the spirit of magnanimity and forbearance with which the men who have served in the Rebellion, but now frankly and honestly co-operate with us in restoring the peace of the country and reconstructing the Southern State Governments upon the basis of impartial justice and equal rights, are received back into the communion of the loyal people; and we favor the removal of the disqualifications and restrictions imposed upon the late Rebels in the same measure as their spirit of loyalty will direct, and so may be consistent with the safety of the loyal people.
