Pish!Pshaw!Pooh!–The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times has the effrontery to declare that there is a movement on foot in New York city, looking towards the impeachment of the President at the opening of the next session of Congress, in the manner provided by the Constitution.The movement, he says, originated with the most eminent constitutional lawyers of the country, including two from the West, and is in the hands of men whose character for decision and firmness, as well as for courage, is a sufficient guarantee that they will carry it through.
We presume that this statement is a falsehood, “made out of whole cloth.”The Copperheads may have the will, but they lack the courage, to attempt an outrage of this nature–Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
