If to any secret principle of the Constitution, let it be mentioned. Let us learn that the Government we have long re vered is not. without its detects; and that while it giveb freedom’ to a part it necessarily enslaves the rest of the empire. If such a principle exists, why, for ages, has it ceased ho operate? Why, at this time, is it called into action? “Can no reason be assigned for this conduct, or must it be resolved into the wautou exer cise of arbitrary power? And shall the descendants of Britons tamely submit to this ? No, sirs, while we revere the memory of our gallant and victorious ancestors, we never will, we never can, surrender those glorious privileges for which they fought, bled and conquered. “Admit that your fleets cam destroy Bur towns and ravage our sea-coasts. Those hre inconsiderable objects—things of no mo ment to men whose bosoms glow .with the ardor of liberty. We can retird beyond the reach of your navy, and without aay sensi ble diminution of the luxuries of life, enjoy a luxury, which from that moment you will waut—the luxury.ot being free. “We know the force of yonr arms ; and, were it called forth in the cause of justice and your country, we might dread the exer tion ; but will Britons fight under the ban ners of tyranny? Will tiiey c mnteract the labors,' and disgrace the victories of their ancestors ? Will they forge chains for their posterity? If they descend to this unworthy task, will their swords retain their edge— their arms their accustomed vigor ? No! Britons can never become the instru ments of oppression till they lose the spirit of freedom, by which alone they .are invinci ble. Since, then, yourdibertids ’imflt be the price of your victories, your ruin of yonr de feat, what blind fatality can urge you ho a pursuit destructive of all that Briton's hold dear? - , “If you have no regard for the Constitution That has. for years, subsisted between us—ii you bave forgot the wouods we have re ceived fighting by your side for the exten sion of the empire—if our commerce is an object below your consideration—if justice and humanity bave lost their influence on yonr hearts, still motives are not wanting to excite your indignation at the measures now pursued. Your wealth, your honor, vour liberty, are at stake.” As a companion piece to the above we ap pend the following extract from Lingard, (vol. XI, chap. 1,) which requires little alter ation to make us forget that it is the de scription of a scene over two centuries old : “During the war the dread of retaliation Lad taught the two parties to temper with moderation the license of victory.’ Little blood had been shed except in the field oi battle. But not that check was removed The fanatics, not satisfied with the deal h of the king, demanded, with the bihle rn their hands, additional victims; and the politi cians deemed it prudent, by the display of punishment, to restrain the machinations of their enemies. * , * * It was in vain that Hamilton picaded the order of the Scottish Parliament under which he had acted; that Capel demanded to be brought before his peers, or a jury of his countrymen, accord ing to those fundamental laws which the Parliament had promised to maintain; that all invoked the national faith in favor of that quarter which they had obtained at the time of their surrender. "Throughout the kingdom the lower classes loudly complained of the burthen of taxa tion ; in several parts they suffered under the pressure of famine. In Lancashire and Westmoreland numbers perished through want; and it was certified by the magistrates of Cumberland that thirty thousand families in that county ‘had neither seed nor bread corn, nor the means of procuring either.’— But that which chiefly created alarm was the progress made among the military by the ‘levellers,’ men of consistent principles and uncompromising conduct, under the guidance of Colonel Johu Lilburne, an officer distinguished by his talents, his elo quence and his courage. Lilburne, with bis triends, had long cherished a suspicion that Cromwell, Ireton and Harrison sought only their private aggrandizement under the mantle of patriotism; and the recent changes had converted this suspicion into conviction. They observed that the same men ruled without control in the general council of officers, and that,, if their de-^ termination was afterwards adopted by the House, it was only that it might go forth to the public under the pretended sanction of the representatives ot the nation ; that the council of State had beeu vested with;pow- ersmore absolute'and oppressive than had ever been exercised by the late king; and that the high court of justice had been es tablished by the party for the purpose of depriving their victims of those remedies which would be afforded by the ordiuary courts of law.” The painful parallel is thus truthfully drawn by the Richmond Examiner : “In the contrast between tbe moderation of their expressions during tbe war, and the malignity of their acts after the iear of their enemies bad been removed; in the contempt uous disregard of the ancient laws of the land, and liberties of the citizen; in the vio lation of the plighted faith of the htjrrender; in the substitution of tire conclusion^ of tbe council of officers (tbe caucus) for the re sults of deliberation iu parliament; in tbe assumption of more than regal authority by the caucus; in the efforts to legislate parti- zau8bip into ‘the high court of justice,’ we see the absolute counterparts of the madness before us. Nor without suggestivecoiucid we, too, complain of ‘tbi tion,’ and, ‘in several parts we suffer under the pressure of famine.’ From many a Cumberland in this abundant land is coming up the fearful story of Ihoasands of families with neither seed, nor bread, nor the means of pn -curing either. Everywhere we see private aggrandizement sought, under the mantle of patriotism. “There is no remedy for the pestilence that afflicts this country bat time. We shall never again witness a free republic in Ameri ca, except as a reaction. At present, there is scarcely a pretence of the form of govern ment wJbadb, fen years ago, we were wont to consider as lim-iaaperishfiblwaM idolized in heritance of our people. “The mountains must ran their career, agd we can only wait and pray for the end. Hie land is accursed with an incurable disorder.” OJtBiTE OS IMPEACHMENT. Ashley Fj lghteneA ■I V New York Market. New York, March 18—Noon.—Stocks ac- tiv e; five twenties, of ’62, coupons, 109$.

In the House, os Thursday, after Mr. Ashley had gonebn' for some time in a senseless tirade against ~ isident and the Southern people, he spoke of . .. isident as the morel incubus whjcli has blotted our history with its fuule.-t blot, and shall be removed. In the name of loyalty betrayed, or law violated, of the Constitution trampled upon, the nation demands the impeachment and removal of Andrew Johnson. The Speaker here interrupted Mr. Ashley, and said that while he knew there was a license of debate on a resolution in regard to impeachment, he thought the gentleman from Ohio was proceeding beyond that Umit. Mr. Randall (Democrat) inquired whether there was an insane asylum near here. MivChaudler (Democrat) suggested that there was one over the river. [Laughter.] Mr. Boyer expres-.ed the hope that Mr. Ashley would be allowed to go op without interruption, be cause he was doing the President service, and they appreciated bis efforts very much. Mr. Ashley said that he was glad that the genllemen so regarded it, and proceeded to commtnce his re marks again : Well, Mr. President— Mr. Eldridge again called him to order amid much laughter, when the Speaker intimated to him he must address the Chair.' Mr. Barfield suggested that perhaps the mistake waa prophetic. Mr. Eldridge said he thought the gentleman from Ohio had President on the brain. Mr. Ashley continued: It is well known that the civil rights bill has not only not been enforced, but that the vast military power at the disposal of tbe Presi- dent has been used, not to protect loyal men, but bas been used either by his Indifference or with bis guilty knowledge to crush the loyal men of the South. Mr. Eldridge remarked that he understood Mr. Ash ley to censure the President because certain parties ha.i not beeu brought to trial, aud he now desired to ask him if he blamed ihe President because Jefferson Davis had not been triad upon the indictment found aguinst him ? Mr. vsliley said in reply : I am unable to answer the gentleman’s question, but I know that In military departments where the President has command of the army, and where lie does interfere, he has used the l^jilitatjf jpower to crush the loyal men, instead ot sustaining them. Mr. Eldlidge asked Mr. Ashley to favor the House with one single institute where the President had neglected his du'y in regard to the trial of any per son. Mr. Asliley replied: Yes, sir, in New Orleans and in Memphis, iu every city in the South v/ht re I hero are no civil governments, and where, by liis repeated acts, he iias recognized the supremacy of the rebel power. Mr. Eldridge inquired of Mr. Ashley whether the President of the United States could institute courts there aud try parlies charged with crime. Mr. Ashley, without answering the question di rectly, said: I may refer the gentleman to the ca-e of Watson of Virginia, and to other cases which it is not necessary for mo to particularize. I say that, in view of all the tacts which we have before us, if this inves tigation be not pursued, and if this mau be not put upon his trial aud impeached, the provision of the Constitution providing for ttie impeachment of the President is valueless to the nation. If this man is not impeached, if he is not tried and deposed from tho hig 1 place which he has disgraced, no mau who succeeds him need ever fe ir trial and conviction, no matter what may be his climes. I hope this Con gress will not be deterred from doing its duty; but that it will do its whole duty in the matter, a ud pro ceed to the investigation. And I am convinced that if pursued with the energy which attends ordinary criminal cases, the trial and conviction and impeach ment of the President are as inevitable as death. Mr. Spalding (Radical) said: Mr. Speaker, I do not boast ot possessing any extraordinary degree of cour age, either moral or physical; but 1 thank my Creator that he has so constituted me that I can rise on the floor of this House yet and declare my convictions, although they differ with the majority of the party with which I act. Sir, I differ toto unlo with my col league (Mr Asliley), and I Stand here in this very place from which, more than two months ago, the Executive of this nation was charged with high crimes aud misdemeanors, to denounce the whole scheme as one of consummate folly. I trust we have not yet arrived at the same state of feeling as that which existed duriug the revolution of Oliver Cromwell, or that which lived in the days of Robespierre and Marat in France, wlicn 1 hose who one day advocated the most extreme measures were the next day brought to tile scaffold because they were not far enough in the advance. Is that to be our position in this country ? Sir, I have voted for every Radical measure of recousi ruction proposed in this House, and yet we have not adopted Radical measures enough to suit the purposes of some gen tlemen around me. They now cry for the head of the Executive. [‘ They want more flood,” suggested Mr. Wood, in his sear.] For what good purpose ? Is it to make way for some other man, or set of men ? Is tills whole nation to be convulsed, is our public credit to b trifled with, are our stocks to be brought down to thirty, twenty, 01 teu per cent, simply to gratify tliiB anxiety to remove the Executive head of the na iou ? Sir, I cannot go for that proposition Mr. Niblick rose to ask Mr. Ashley whether the newspaper charges that he [Mr. As'uley] liad been guilty of official bribery aud corrupliou were true? Mr. Ashley—I do not yield the floor to have the gentleman come here with any such impertiuence. Mr. Niblack remarked that he had no personal mat ter to settle with Mr Ashley here. He always settled his personal mailers outside of litis House. Mr. Ashley said : X want to say to the gentleman from Indiana that I should perhaps not have used the words I did. I meant to say that his suggestiou was not pertinent to the questiou b fore the House. But I will answer it. Mr. Niblack—Docs the gentleman withdraw the expression ? Mr. Ashley. Certainly I do. I wish to say to the gentleman that the point which he raises against me has no possible connection with this case, and is not pertinent to it When those charges were lirst made against me, I came into the House aud asked an in vestigation of them. A committee was appointed— two of them Democra s, aud three Republicans— and tbe committee unanimously exonerated me from, any improper motive whatever. Mr. Butler (Beast) made a speech, winding up as follows : I am willing to take up the gauntlet thrown down by the gentleman from Ohio 1 Mr. Spalding], and I say that if any man stands in the way of the great march of this country to honor, to glory, to peace, to unity, or happiness, to liberty, and to law, he must he taken out of the way by a constitutional method. Mr. Miller [Radical] spoke in favor of moderation, calmness, and regularity in such a grave matter as the impeachment of the President. He was opposed to pre-judging the case, or pronouncing on this floor as to whether or not the President was guilty of the charges before the evidence was laid before tbe House. Tbe President should be tried fairly and im partially, and the Hpnse should not be hasty in de claring him gnilty of high crimes and misdomeanors. Mr. Brooks spoke. He said that Mr. Ashley had asserted that five thousand Union men had been killed and wounded in the South. Now he [Mr. Brooks] was an attentive reader of newspapers, and knew wnat was going on, and he pronounced the declaration as a mere fiction—a figment of the gentle man’s own brain. There was no more crime iu the Southern conntry, in proportion to its population, than iu New York, and no crimes had beeu committed so offensively atrocious as iu the noithwestof Mis souri. During the past year and a half there had been no more crime committed in teu Southern States than in ten Northern States of like population. Crime existed everywhere and iu every form—murder, ar son, etc —and yet assertions of crimes committed iu the Southern country are mentioned here to arouse the public to the impeachment of the President. Five thousand killed and wounded I There was no such proof on record at all, nor before any committee, that in Texas three hundred Union men had been killed. He would say to the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Spaldiug], who stood here as a Giron 1 against the Jacobins, that the history of the Girondists was in this place to be written; and although such men as he attempt to arrest the revolution, be [Mr. Brooks] did not think this revolution was here to stop. He did not believe it waa half written, or half acted out, lugegg all history waa at fault. Wears how repeat- ing-the Roman history of Augustus aud Julius caesar, and tbe Government is passing from a Republic to a Despotism. Revolutions never stop. The Girond ists (the Conservatives) are to be overwhelmed by the’ Jacobins; and when we shall have lost all our liberties, some future Napoleon, yet unknown, will rise up from the obaos, and rescue the country from anarchy through a military despotism Hence the resistance of the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Spalding] and the partial resistance of the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Miler] were all in vain. Mote than one-half of the territory of the old republic was already under a military despotism, and there was no more protection iu the Southern States for life, liber ty. or property than under the dominions of the Sultan or the Czar. The military government bill now over tea millions of people, white and black, was to be extended over the orili and West before the revolution was finished. While he greeted the voice of the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Spalding,] and wel comed the calnqly resisting tabes of the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Miller,] he knew, if history was correct, there .vas to be no escape for any of us. Tbe gentleman from Massachusetts [Mr. Butler], in his specifications of impeachment,said that this House would be false to itself if it shrank from impeach ment now. The gentleman was right The ball of revolntion which had been set in motion was not to be stopped, but was to roll-over the House and the country. The; who embark in revolutions can never shrink. They must always go on. Another specification of impeachment by the gen tleman from Masaachnaetts was tbe surrender by the President of certain army and railroad materials to the rebels. Was the’ gentleman really sbrfdlis on that point,l Why, it that was criminal, what would, be come of him, Aom whom tbe rebel* have taken a hnnAra^ rtnlfurh w/wih mil anwiM n# motawinl willin' The West and New England.—The Hart ford Times says : On the tariff question, the West has^put another blow between the eyes of New Eng land. The West also complains that State sove reignty gives New England twelve Senators, and declares that it is only entitled to two. Every day New EMand members ot Con gress are traffiplinfejFpoii- thjNlonatitution. Bat the day is at hand when New England will oryin Agony for a strictfdhar the guarantees of the Constitution, __ at this time she j is setting shocking exam. Pies. Upon your own heads, land, will fall: the fraftnen§4of a shattered Constitution. Then the &av of your wiU have come. DRY GOODS! DRY GOODS 1 down. That was plain KngHai, and'.all could com prehend it welL If there is no respect, however, in this House for constitutional principles, let me beg, gentlemen, os One of the representatives of a great commercial peo ple, to bear in mind What are the financial conse quences of this prolonged agitation. Even the first movement of the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Ashley] has already cost the merchauts, capitalists, bankers, and manufacturers full one hundred millions of dol lars. He has inflicted immense losses on those who hold stocks, bonds, and other obligations—Federal, State and corporate. And now he proposos to keep up the agitation much longer, and to crucify these great interests more and more. If the bears of Wall ^rE ARE NOW OFFERING a large and carefully selected stock of Street, who have profited by the public calamities to the amount ol millions of dollars, and whp have rid den rough shod over tbe railroad stocks and bonds of the States of Illinois, Iowa, and other northwestern States, and given him a million of thGr profits, the; would not have more than compensated for the large amount of money they were enabled to put into their pocketp. And now, aB if all of these calamities were not enough, it is proposed to continue this fearful and alarming agitation. The resolution before us provides the Judiciary Committee with Indefinite amounts of money to trump up evidence against the President of the United States; to arouse and excite detectives, spits, informer^, and others; to suborn perjurers; iu stiort, to develop here tbe whole iniamous system of Tiberius aud thp other CeBsars. We are entering upon all this, too, upon the eve of a financial crisis, when the wages of labor are cut down in such States as Rhode Island; when hundreds of men are thrown out of employment in Connecticut, and when thous ands of men parade the streets for want of some: Ihing to do. New York is but the heart of tbe Re public; tbe business pulsations which are now felt there will soon be felt ever,where. It this tevolution is pushed on; if the executive branch of the Govern ment is broken down, the fever which follows these pulsations of trade will be fearfully felt thioughout tue whole We.it. No lotiger can money be raised iu New York to buy and lay rails in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Mis souri, and elsewhere; and produce must continue to rot iu the barns of the fanners of the Northwest, in default of the means to take it to market. Revolu tionary and financial agitation is death to commerce, manufactures aud agriculture. But go on, and go on now. The quicker the work of death is over the bet ter. Eject the President from the Waite House. In- st&l your new-made President ol tbe Senate forthwith. Let us feel all the horrors of the revolution without delay. Tbe Public Debt.
