See Appendix, N.
[The impeachment of
President Andrew Johnson in 1868 -which was resorted to by his
political opponents solely as a means of turning him out of office, for
it could not be contended that he had been guilty of high crimes and
misdemeanors, and he was in fact honorably acquitted and reinstated in
office -is a striking confirmation of the truth of this remark. -Translator's Note, 1874.]
