Botts addressed the committee at length chiefly in opposition to the legality of the' course pursued by the Executive in issuing circulars to the collectors of the customs and in favor of an im peachment of the President He contended that the Executive had no right to prescribe the mode in which duties should be collected It was illegal and if acquiesced in the President might order a duty of 20 per cent to day and five per cent to morrow This he regarded as a grievous state of things for which there was no remedy butimpeach i the power of the House to impeach'was not resorted to in less than six months Pennsylvania Avenue would gleam with 10600 bayonets At the proper time he should make movement on the subject of impeachment and in doing so he disclaimed act ing as the counsel of the whig party 'He stood on his own responsibility and claimed the merit of ha ving been first to raise the flag of impeachment in this lie spoke for some time in abuse of the President and in denunciation of those who had charged the members of the House with a desire to elicit a con flict between congress and the Executive He re ferred to1 the action of the President on the appor tionment bill and denounced it as unconstitutional and disorganizing He had he said been charged with being a conspirator and the prime mover in all the schemes to circumvent the Executive As he understood the term he was a one of the most active and violent in the House against the doings of such a man as was now seated in the Executive chair Reigns at Every Suffrage press has been silenced in Rhode Island

seems to be much agitated whether or not Michigan shall be districted in time for the fall elections To do it will be necessary to call an oxtrJf session of the Legislature the peo ple be willing to be burdened with the expense of an extra session when tho object can be attained at some subsequent period without this extra ex pense and without detriment to any interest? It must not be forgotten that the taxes are already on pressive and it is fair to presume that' the people will not be satisfied with any unnecessary increase of taxation We confidently believe that our pre sent state administration will be slow to adopt any course which the interest And well being of the State does not call for that will add to the burdens of a too patient and suffering people If the election 'should not take place untibnext spring what interest would suffer? Would the peo ple or the politicians who are anxious to secure a seat in the national legislature be the losers? 1' they are elected next fall they cannot take their seats for more than a year after the election and if they are not elected till the ensuing spring will they not have ample time to prepare for the journey to Washington?
