The Northern Mail.—The steamer (Jen. Clinch,
due on Saturday night, and the Melamora, due hint
' evening, hud not arrived at 11 o’clock luat night.
O'* Tlie Telegraphic wires between tills city and
Charleston, have not been in operation since Hutur-
dny noon ; probably broken by the gale.
Rise in the Savannah River.—A despatch re
ceived from Augusta on Saturday morning states that
tho river at that place had risen npwurds of four
feet, and was still rising. This will enable our steam
ers to reach Augusta without difficulty, and the large
quantity of freight dnily landed on our wharves lor
the interior, will meet with “quick despatch."
Cdttinu Rice.—We learn that it is the intention
of several planters to commence the cutting of Rice
on the Ogeecheo River to-day. The accounts of tile
crops arc very promising, uud it is said the yield will
lie large.
[We iiad quite a sovore blow on Saturday. It
commenced enrly in the morning, and continued un
til evening. Between 4 und & o’clock it blew a per
fect hurricane, prostrating several large trees in the
city; there was also ulieavy lull of rain. The rice on
the neighboring plantations fullered considerably, in
South Carolina the wind was higher than in this city,
und wo h'aru that on several plantations tile entire
crops of rice were prostrated.
Cigars as is Cioars.—Wo received on Saturday
a present of a box of fragrant Havana's. As our
friend is not the sort of annul to stund a puli’, we
must content ourself with pulling his cigars.
JTIm; Macon Muss .Meeting nod tlie Georgia
Citizen,
Tho Western Mull lust night brought us nothing
from Mncon nor from any other point except Augus-
tu. We nro assured, however, by a gentleman who
canio passenger on the cars, that the articles in the
Macon Georgia Citizen, anil tho Republican, of this
city, grossly misrepresent tho true character of the
meeting. Our informant states that 3000 to 5000 per
sons were present, mid that notwithstanding tho en
thusiasm of the people in support of the rights of the
South, the proceedings were characterized by mod
eration and tho strictest decorum, 'flic Resolutions
adopted by the meeting will he found in another col
umn.
Much excitement prevailed, in Macon, in conse
quence of the violent and abusive articles which hail
appeared in the Georgia Citizen, to one of which we
alluded ill oitr paper of Saturday. A meeting of citi ■
zens,without distinction of party, was hold, and a
committee of thirteen appointed to wait on the edi
tor, Mr. I,. F. W. Andrews, mid demand of him the
author ol’ono of the articles, and to notify him to dis
continue his paper. During the conference of the
committee with Andrews, u hu ge concourse of per
sons assembled round his house, who would, in ell
probability imve subjected him to Lynch law, hail it
not been for tho timely interference of. Dr. Collins
in behalf of tire family of the editor. On being as
sured by Dr. C., that Mr. Andrews had promised to
discontinue his paper, and leave the city within ten
days, tho crowd consented to disperse. Our inform
ant states that the people are resolved that tho paper,
which lins so grossly assailed their feelings and mis
represented them, shall not be again issued in that
city.

Lexington. Geo., wus killed by tho accidental dis
charge oi a gun on tho 17th inst- In company with

filiivc Emigration to Cnlifoi’nln.
Our paper to day contains the advertisement of tlie
steamer Commodore Stockton, which is shortly to sail
from Charleston for California, nnd which is to take
out os passengers a number of ,Southern gentlemen
with their slaves. It will he seen by tho following
extracts that tlie plun of establishing a slave colony in
California, with u view to work tlie gold mines oi
that country, is seriously entertained, by men of char
acter and influence. The scheme is on an ex
tensive scale, and offers a favorable opportunity to
those who wisli to emigrate with their salves to the
gold region.
We are assured on good authority -thut tlie asso
ciation will he formidable in numbers nnd influence.
If there be nny way in which the Southern people can
assert and practically test their right to a joint parti
cipation in tlie public domain, nnd mineral wealth of
California, this is it. In this way we may testnon-in-
tervention, as well as the practicability of employing
slave labor in tlie mines. We are told that where
slave labor cau bo profitably employed, there it will
go, and it is hinted thut a considerable portion of tho
people of California, having becomo convinced of its
great advantages in that country .desire its introduc
tion. If this he true the proposed plan will fittest the
fact. The inducements to muke tlie venture are very
great, nnd tlie presont is u fuvoruhie- opportunity for
those who desire to participate in tlie enterprise.
Tho Mississippian, in relation to tlie proposed slave
colony in California, says:
"The elements of this slave colony are in existence,
we have hud tlie opportunity of personally knowing
tlie tact, and can say til at it is comprised of citizens
of several .Southern states—some of whom are well
known in tlie Union. Letters have passed tlirim-'h
our liunds only this pust week from citizens of Geor
gia, Alabama, and Virginia, in each of which propo
sitions are made to join the colony with slaves, Tnis
colony receives the countenance of some of the first
citizens of Mississippi. Tlie interest felt.ia universal
and is not: extraordinary. Tlie idea is not visional y.
“ Letters reached us from California, stating that
slave lubor at the mines is worth ten dollars per day.
A slave can at least secure that amount to his mas
ter. After the placer mines shall be exhausted, and
even now, the gold in the rocks, which is the origi
nal source of all the deposits in tho rivers, cannot be
profitably obtained but by slave labor. Then
again, tho valleys to be cultivated, require irrigation
wjfieh is another profitable sphere for the employ
ment of our slaves. Tlius, then, in tlie only two
pursuits now known in California, slave labor 13 a
more profitable investment than in the United States.
“ Justified by tlie constitution, and rendered expe
dient from its violation by others, the Colony will ho
formed in California, we reiterate, if the country is
nut stolen from us by tlie uction of Congress. A
grosser outrage 011 tlie South could not he perpetra
ted in view of tlie intense anxiety of our people to go
there witli their property. L-1 it he understood, and
pondered upon, that five thousand slaves will he sunt
to California before the expiration of this yeur, if the
odidus measure now before Congress, to admit Cali
fornia with territory enough for a dozen States, can
be, as it ought to be, repudiated by Congress.
We look upon the present movement with feel
ings of intense interest. Hero is our only audlast
hope of being participators in tlie golden harvests of
Culitornia lor which southern blood lias been spilled
so profusely ; nnd shall wo luse it ? Tlie value of
our slaves at homo would increase one hundred per
cent. There is not a planter in Mississippi, who has
a single negro, that will not feel the effects of this
slave imigration by an addition oi' at least four hun
dred dollars to tho value of that slave. A slave in
California is now worth five thousand dollar's ? Such
is the deep pecuniary interest that may now he sacri
ficed by the admission of California. Take that away
from the South, nnd besides placing us at tho mercy
of the North by tile increase of free soil States, and
nearly all that wo have won from Mexico, save na
tional honor, is forever lost to us.”
The Calamity at Lynnfield.—The lute terrible
calamity at Lynnfield, Mass., by which thirteen per
sons were drowned, hus spread a general and heart
felt consternation through that village. The bodies
have all been recovered. A correspondent of the
Tribune gives tlie following sad particulars :
A Mrs. Garland lost two benutful children, one of 8
years and tho other nil infant—while she was barely
saved by a man's seizing her by tlie hair of the head,
and dragging her upon tile upset bout—she is now de
lirious. Her husband was cm shore, hut came out in
a bonttoo late to save his beloved children. The lath
er und inotb-r are now in nil agony of sorrow, having
hut one eurvi i ing child. Two years ago they were be
reft of three darling children by tlie fatal scarlet fever,
uud now again their house is indeed left unto them
desolate. One young lad succeeded in tearing oft' his
clothes anil swimming ashore. A Mr. Hainan (whose
wife null chilli were both drowned before his own
eyes, lie being on shore and utterly unable to help
them,) became frantic, running to mid fro, tearing up
tho earth in his agony. IIo is now a raving maniac.
Ou Friday the bodies were sent to tlie houses oi'
their afflicted friends: two beautiful sisters (the Misses
Brown) to one house, n lovely daughter unil infant
child to another, a youngmoried couple to another, a
young lady to another,'und so on, making an exhibi
tion ot solemnity and bereavement never before wit
nessed in our vicinity. Four bodies have been sent
out of town—one, that of a ynuii£ lady, « Miss. Ad-
•ams, from Boston, who came down to spend a few
days with her friends in Lynn.
On Saturday the last sad rites were paid to the
dead.
An accident of a somewhat similar character oc
curred near Boston, on Friday the 16th inst. A par
ty of five persons, consisting of Capt. Samuel Ful
ler and ills son, of Rockport, Mr. Greig, and a lad
named Inglis, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Francis E. De
Biois, of Boston, went on a fishing excursion and are
supposed tohaveboraaH drowned by the capsizing
of the boat ina squall The bodies of Capt. Fuller
mid Mr. Greig have been recovered, also tlie jacket oi
De Biois.
Aid to Professor Webster's Family.—A paper lias
been circulated, during tho past week, among tlie more
wealthy of our citizens, to raise the sum of $20,000,
to be given to tho wife nnd children of Prolessor
Webster, to provide for them, and place them above
want during life. The paper is headed by Mrs Geo.
Parkman, wife of tho murdered man, with tho smn
of $500. The subscriptions have already nearly, it
not quite, reached tile proposed amount. Mr.’An
drews, the jailer, says that Dr. Webster, in his opin
ion, will hold out firm to the last—that lie has not eat
en eo heartily for some time past. His family visited
him during last week and remained witli him until 6
o’clock. They are not aware of the exact time of ex
ecution, but know tho day to be fixed. No persons
are allowed to visit him, except his family, and cler
gymen, lor spiritual purposes.—Boston Mail,
The Philadelphia Muuiier. Speaking of the
late murder and robbery in Philadelphia the Bulletin
enys: ✓
The robbery nnd munlor of Mr. Charles Burr,
watchmaker, last evening, presents to tlie startled
minds of tho people ot Philadelphia, a crimo unpar
alleled for boldness and nttrociousness by anything of
tlie kind that has ever occurred in their midst, if in
deed, in tlie whole country. The weapon used by
tho murderer who inflicted the fatal stab must have
Bern « powerful dagger, and the villain who drove it
home a monster of Herculean strength.
The solid hone of the sternum was penetrated, and
tlie heart witli its pericardium completely transfixed,
through tlie right ventricle and right* auricle. Tho
hemorrhage was internal, and the chest tilled with
blood. The weapon was withdrawn lrom the wound,
without tlie smallest particle even of the point (us far
as could lie discovered by the post mortem examina-
tlunj'hcilig broken off.
It is a subject of deep regret that tlie murderers
should have escaped, and it is to lie hoped that some
thing may yet turn up to bring them to justice.
The domestic relations of tlie murdered man make
the circumstances attending his assassination truly
awful and heart-rending. We conversed, last night,
witli the person who broke the nows to his wile. She
had been married only eleven months, and has just
recovered from her first occouchment: Comfortably
und handsomely situated in iismaU house in Kensing
ton. she was happy. Having rocked her baby to
sleep, she had prepared tlie evening meal tor her hus
band, and was standing in tlie door, waiting his com
ing. Alas? what heart does not bleed to tliiuk of her
overwhelming grief!
Female Medical Colleoe, Phila. This Insti
tution, witli six professorships for tho instruction of
women in medicine, surgery and chemistry, has
been established by an Act of tlie Legislature of Penn
sylvania, and will hold its first session iu October
next in the city of Philadelphia.
Mnil Stonmci'H for Africa,
We noticed a few days since tlie receipt of a pam-
p*hlet copy of tho report of the Naval Committee of
the House of Representatives in,favor of the estab
lishment of a line of mail steamers to the Western
const of Africa. The subject is one which is attract
ing considerable attention throughout the country
and will probably be acted on at the present session
of Congress, should thot body be so fortunate ns to
dispose of tlie important questions now before it.
Thu report of the committee is highly fuvoruhie to
the proposed plan, which emanates from a number
of gentlemen in various parts of the Union, who
have associated themselves for tlie purpose, and
have, by memorial to Congress, asked for the conn-
teunnee and assistance ot tlie government of tho U.
.States. The report recommends tlie acceptance of
the proposals of tlie memorialists, with some modifi
cations. The plan thus modified will be us follows:
The proposed line is to consist of three ships,
which shall muke trips to Liberia monthly. One
ship is to leave New York every three months,
touching at .Savannah for freight uml mails; one to
leave Baltimore every third month, touching at Nor
folk and Charleston for passengers, freight and mails
—and one to leave New Orleans every third month,
with liberty to touch at any of the West India Is
lands. Their course will be to Liberia, with liberty
to touch at any islands or ports on the coast of Af
ricn.
Tho return trips are to be circuitous, first to Gib
raltar, carrying the Mediterranean mails, thence to
some Spanish port, to be designated by the govern
ment, probably Cadiz—thence, touching at Lisbon,
(1’ortugul,) or Brest or some other French port, to
London—bringing mails from all those points to tho
United States.
The details, as modified by tlie committee, require
each ship to be not less than four thousand tons bur
den, and to cost not less than nine hundred thousand
dollars, of which the Government is to advance two-
thirds ina five per cent, stock, redeemable at the end
of thirty years, which is to he repaid by the coi-irae-
tors, in equal anuuul instalments, beginingand ending
with the service. The ships are to he built so us to
he convertible at the least possible expense into war
steamers oi' the first class, and to be kept in repair,
and with all necessary improvements and alterations
to keep them lit for that service. Each ship is to be
commanded by an officer of the U. S. Navy, aided by
four pussed midshipmen ns watch officers, to bo pro
vided for and paid by tlie contractors.
Tlie Government reserves the right of control, and
tlie liberty to take tho ships, or either of them, in time
of war, paying their appraised value not exceeding
tho original cost.
Two of the said ships are to bo finished and ready
for sea ill two and a half years from the signing of
the contract, and tlie third within three years.
'Tile Government agrees to pay forty thousand
dollars as compensation for services for every trip,
nnd the contract is to continue tor fifteen year s from
tho time of the completion of all the ships. _
The contractors stipulate to carry and deliver tlie,
mails ; and agree further to curry on each and every
voyage they make so many emigrants, being persons
of color, not exceeding 2,500, ns the American Colo
nization .Society shall direct, tho society paying ten
dollars per head for each one over twelve years of
age, und five dollars per head for all under twelve
years—the sum to includo transportations of bag
gage nnd also supplies of suilors’ rations. The Colo
nization Society now pny not less than thirty dollars
a head.
The committee argue at considerable length to
show that tlie project is a safe and profitable one in a
commercial sense, and that there is ample security
for the repayment of the advances by the Govern
ment. The real question, however, (remarks tlie N.
O. Picayune) is whether there are public objects suf
ficient to justify the advedture—for it is one—inde
pendently of the commercial security of the invest
ment. The committee do not disguise that the pro
motion of the exportation and colonization of free
blacks is one oi their leading motives—but there are
a large class of objections to the direct exercise of
any such power by Congress, as that of pla ng col
onies out of the limits of tlie United States. The
main ground is therefore put forth thut this is a
measure in consonance with tlie established policy
of the country, which lias for its object the creation
of a powerful steam navy, to be used in time of
peace in carrying mails, nnd convertible in time of
war into armed vessels of great power. In that point
of view it will receive a support which it would have
no right to expect considered as an enterprize under
taken to promote directly the colonization of Liberia.
The writer in the Philadelphia Bulletin, alluding
to the commercial advantages which would be likely
to result from the establishment of steam communi
cation with Africa, remarks:
Great Britain conducts a traffic with Africa valued
at $28,000,000 per annum, while we, witli a com
merce not worth that many thousands, are compell
ed to keep up 11 naval force upon tlie Western Const
partly to protect this British commerce, and at the
same time, shield our National character Horn a cer
tain species of dishonor. With tlie facilities we pos-
sess, and superior advantages from our local posi
tion, why should we not enter into competition for
this tralice, which in a lew years, owing to the col
onics und republics annually springing up, niurt ul
timately prove of immense value, and bo conducted
in exchange ior our manufactures of cotton, tha*
noware obtained lrom British looms. Our entire
commerce with Africa in 18411, was as follows:
Domestic exports -..$676,769
Foreign do 31,642'
Total exports $708,411
Imports 495,74-J
Total exports and imports $1,204 153
England, as 1 have said, exports to aiid'iniports
nc “ merchandise, &e., to the amount of $28,-
000,000 and tins shows the importance of attaching
the colonies of tlie western coast to our trade
I’-SJPt. Pi‘or to the downfall of that empire, concen
trated within the vnilies of the Nile, the most, if not
tlie only, commerce of Wat vast continent; but mod
ern research lias satisfied us that westward—pursu
mg the undeviating law of political destiny-tlie star
oi African glory wends its way. Liberia may vet
become the lhcbas ot modern times, and number
not her hundred brazen gates for the egress of ar
mies, hut navies for the supply of the world, and
America her treasure-house.
Life in Philadelphia. A Philadelphia letter dated
Aug. 19th., says—
Our criminal calendar is again stained with Wood,
resulting from tho indiscriminate use of fire-arms by
tlie Mqyameusing rowdies iu settling their feuds and
wreaking their vengeance upon tlie unfortunate co
lored population. Two of this class, Henry Ray
mond and Samuel Williams, were at Eighth nnd
South streets on Sunday morning, about one o’clock,
when a carbine was tiled upon them from a gang ot
firemen on too county side ot South street.
The shot was aimed at Raymond, hut hit an on-
fortunate Swiss, named Arnestoust, who, in company
with two countrymen, E. Dubois and C. Cirvolssier
was crossing the street at the time. Two bails struck
him, one ot which, passing through his heart, caus
ed immediate death.

murders here in the last 24 hours.*
Negro and Indian Suffrage in Michigan.—
Tim Michigan Stnto Convention, now iu session at
Lansing, deliberating on the reconstruction of the
Constitution of tlie Peninsular State, have adopted a
clause extending the elective franchise to Indians and
their descendants, and have also adopted a resolution
submitting to the people, as 11 separate preposition

Corrcspondence.of the Daily Morning News.
New York, August 19.
There is little or nothing of an exciting nature in
tlie city at present. Commerce may be said to have
opened her day-book, and the wholesale houses down
town are full of business. Iam told that rarely has
there been a larger number of buyers in the market
at one time. A great many are from far West, and
are obliged to come early in the full iu order to re.
cuivc their goods in good season, for in some instances
they are three months on the road. The prospect of
a great fall business is very promising, and everybo
dy is 1 joking forward to “ a good time.”
It ih net true thut the Count de Alcoy arrived in the
Pizznro. Tin: Countess, two children, nn officer of
rank who accompanies her, and attendants, came in
her, and I believe they have ulready left fur tlie East,
on their way to Europe, where tlie Count is to join
them. They remained strictly private during their
stuy in tlie city. The Sun who is bitterly opposed to
everything Cuba-ish, hail on the bulletin bonrd,
under the head of “ distinguished arrivals,” on Fri
day, 11 Count de Alcoy, from Havana, and John Smith,
from Saratoga." if meant as ridicule, it was a lam
entable failure, for it lacked one very essential quali
ty—wit. ’
A mysterious case of inveiglement is under investi
gation, in which a very pretty, lady-liko womun, nam
ed Mary Jane Starr, is charged witli bamboozling
ail eli’erly married gentleman, named Ira Topping,
and tlie father of a grown up family, out of consider
able sums of money, and finally out of his real estate
worth some $20,099 or $30,000. The creature actu
ally took possession of tlie house in which Topping
lived, turning them into the street. Now how this
was managed, ia the mystery. Mr. T. must either be
a very nervous or a very wicked man, or both; for
thut tlie woman exercised an extraordinary influence
over him, is very clear, but it has not been stated, in
what way it was obtained. The truth, however, must
come out in a public examination, and then I pre
sume there will be some fun. An elderly gentiemun
named Boyd, is mixed up with the affair—he is a
lawyer, and clerk in tile Supreme Court; but lie in
sists tliut he merely acted as adviser to the female, in
obtaining her rights. It is a queer story, and there
is much more in it than meets the eye at present.
The number of arrivals at this port last week was
over five thousand. It is gratifying to know, howev
er, that laborers ure iu greut demand, and that able
bodied men may resort to some employment imme
diately.
I understand that Garabnldi has been deterred
from encouraging any public demonstration, by
threats, that having rendered himself unpopular with
the Roman Catholics here, by liis conduct iu Rome
some disturbance might take place. 1 suspect thut
Bishop Hughes is at the bottom of tills, as you will re
member that Garibaldi’s object was to separate tlie
temporal from the spiritual office of the Pope.
If this be true, it is much to be regretted; because,
the very idea that such a thing could take place, is
repugnunt to that freedom of opinion, of which we
boast. While 011 this subject I may mention another
rumor, tliata row is expected to takeplaceon the 20th
September, between tlie order of the United Ameri
cans, and the Irish. It seems tiint the notorious Ned
Buntline, will have suffered a twelve months’ im
prisonment on Blackwell’s Island on that day, for his
participation in the bloody affair at tile Astor Place
Opera House, and will then be discharged. He is a
member of this order, and in the filthy sheet he owns,
is continually striving to incrOnse the ill-feeling to
wards tlie Irish population. Well the l nited Ameri
cans have resolved to meet the fellow on liis landing
ii om tlie Island and escort him in triumph to the city
anil the Irish, they do say, will take measures to
shew their detestation of the man, anil the association
at the same time. There must be a collision be
tween these parties sooner or later without doubt;
and when it does take place, there will be sanguinary
work. The Police are two-thirds Irishmen, and they
could not be depended upon at such a crisis, and If
the military be called out, only one result need bo an
ticipated. If the O. U. A. carry out their intehtions
witli regard to this Buntlinc, it will be nn outrage,
and an insult to the community and should be mark
ed with unmistakable condemnation.
The great trade sales will commence on Wednes
day next. Cooley and Keese have a most extensive
cattalogue ; the largest it is said ever submitted to the
trade.
The city is still very healthy ; the mortality being
confined in a great measure to children. We have
no cholera and no signs of it at present. Tlie num
ber of deaths last week was 407, and of these 337
were children and youths.
The Hunkers, as I supposed, carried the day at the
primary election; but I never saw such an illustration
ot the ireedom oi the ballot-liox. The democrats are
destined to be without tlie loaves and fishes for some
time to come, I presume.
The tailors are very quiet at present; all but ten

The Macon Maas Meeting.
The following are the resolutions passed by ac
clamation ut the Mass Meeting held in Macon 011
Thursday last.
Resolved, That wo approve the Resolutions nnd
Address of file Nashville Convention, and recom
mend them to the cordial support of the people of
Georgia. * 1
Resolved, That in recommending the pooplo of
Georgia to acquiesce iu the application of tlie Mis
souri Compromise line of 36° 30’ to the Territories
of the United -States, with a recognition of slavery
South ot that! we propose the acquiescence for
the sake ol tlie peace of tlie country, and the preser
vation of the Union.
Resolved, That itis the Constitutional right of the
citizen to be protected in the enjoyment, in the pub
lic Territory, of any property which, by the laws of
the State, of which he is ,111 inhabitant, he is author
ized to own ; and to withhold from him this protec
tion, is to debar him of a Constitutional right.
Resolved, That the admission of California into the
Union, witli her pretended organization, will ho the
sanction of the most unjustifiable aggressions oi in
truders upon tlie public Territory, on tlie rights of
fifteen sovereign States of this Union.
Resolved, That the Territorial policy of a majority
of the tw i Houses of Congress, is to prevent, forever
tlie admission of another slave State into the Union,’
subvert tin: rights of the South in the public Terri
tories, and eventually to abolish slnvery in the States-
thus converting a Government which was estab
lished ior tlie protection of all, into nn enrine of at
tack and spoliation of a portion of its members.
Resolved, That we invite those who meditate’these
aggressions to pause before they perpetrate a wren"
which they cannot remedy, nnd to wh eh .a people
having the spirt of treemen will never submit.
Resolved, That should the event occur in which it
shall become the duty of the Governor, under the
direction oi tlie last Legislature, to call a convention
id tile people of Georgia, to consider o” the neces
sary’ measures of safety to the State, itis the opinion
ot the meeting tliut our Senators and .Representa
tives in Congress should immediately return to their
Slate, and unite with their constituents in consulta
tion and action on such measures.
Resolved, That the Territory claimed by Texas to
be within her boundary, is her’s, on every principle
ot national law; that it is recognized by tile resolu
tions of Congress, admitting her into the Union; that
the demand of a portion of it now by tlie govern
ment, with a sword in one hand hud a purse ill the
other, is unbecoming the dignity of tlie nution. is
grossly immoral, and can not and will not be annrov-
™ e °r sustained by a virtuous and enlightened' pco-
Rcsolvcd, That the message of President Fillmore
to Congress, strongly intimating his determination,
by iorce of arms, to prevent a sovereign member of
tlie confederacy from enforcing its laws in territory
which it bona fide claims to be within its bimndarv is
without wurrunt in the constitution or lavs and if lie
attempts to carry his purpose into etteet, the public
liberty und the solely ol tlie constitution demands
that ins conduce should be investigated at tlie instance
of impeachment ho ^»S ‘he power-
Resolved, That in the emergen™ - , ^
