INCIDENTS OF THE IMPEACHMENT
After the anger and indignation which were first kindled at the
usurpation of the President in removing Mr. Stanton without the consent of the Senate had
subsided, Congress appears to have been inspired by a firm but quiet determination to
resist and punish him. After resolving to impeach him, the House has, without passion, and
with little evidence and no expressions of malice, proceeded calmly with the preliminary
steps to impeachment, and the Senate, with cool deliberation and imposing, though simple,
ceremonies, has already begun the trial.Articles
