Mr. RANDALL, of Pennsylvania. As I do not intend to vote in favor of the motion of the Gentfrom Missouri to refer this proposition to a select committee, I deem it proper that, as one member, I should give my reason for my vote; that reason is a very simple one. I think that what the country most needs is order and tranquillity; and this Congress by its action can materially assist in causing calmness to pervade the public mind. It seems to me that the proposition of the Gentfrom missouri is calculated to produce undue excitement. This consideration alone would be sufficient to induce me to vote against it. But, sir, I conceive the making of that proposition to be a happy sign for the country. It indicates to my mind, as it probably will to others, that the time is near at hand when the Present crusade against the President must cease. We cannot but be manifest that when so radical a member as the gentleman who makes this proposition rises in his place and confessedly states to the House that he is dissatisfied with the progress which a regular standing committee is making in reference to this particular question of impeachment it is a good sign for the country. It tells us that the gentleman and those who advocate his proposition feel that they have not any ground to stand upon in connection with the allegations which have been made looking toward the impeachment of the President. For myself I do not wish to drive the majority here into the adoption of o: any such I would prefer to deal with them honestly and fairly, and allow them to withdraw from the position which some ardent members, with less discretion than judgment, have forced them to occupy before the country. It is manifest that the people of this country do not sustain the members of the majority here in this war against the President. They do not consider that AndrewJohnson has been guilty of any act which warrants such a violent procedure as that which some members urge. And I am glad to see the Gentfrom NewYork, [Mr. CoNKLING] whose intellectual power has recently won for him an election to a higher position, standing here and endeavoring to resist this undue and as I think improper legislation. Let us leave this question of impeachment at least where the majority of this House has already placed it. When the committee are ready to report, let us receive the report; and in the mean time let gentlemen cease to excite the public mind by harangues in this House; for all proceedings of this sort result in either benefit or injury to some particular speculator; and I am sorry that this class receive so much consideration from this House or some of its individual members. I hope, therefore, that the proposition of the Gentfrom missouri will be voted down.
