Win. Walho, Chiirmw of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
sometime since issued a "private" cir
cular to tho Democracy of the State
enjoining them to adopt measures, and
leave nothing undone, to secure the
election of Democratic judges and in
f pectora of elections in all doubtfulor
jose t.wnehips. With characterisf'
adroitness anvi energy, prompted by
love of o!S bare and tho siUwea? 01 thcir
nefarious schemes trt the eor'itry they
rue drilling; marshalline dividing
their forced for r.'lrPofic " carl7
iug out t injunction of the secret
to" which reference has been
mado.& Jit almost every township, in
eluding the county-svat, they have a
"secret," "midnight," "oath-bound,"
"Jsrk -lantern," organization, of w hich
that inuerly, nomadic chnngeling,
from party and place, "Bill Bite," is
sail to be Grand Sachem. Iu mem
bers are numbered, and divided into
sjuida, each under the control of its
sub-officer. Through this order,
nominations for township offiocrs have
already been made, aul tho voters
eophcxhhat thoy hope and expjet to
carry both inspectors in nearly every
township, including some in which
they have never claimed or obtained
but ono. This is the secrt't of their
frequent meetings of late and the hur
ried visit? of their member of the
House, at the command of Chief Wal
lace, back to Givcne. This attempt
to secure for the one party both inspec
tors is a clear violation of the inten
tion of the law ! As much so as for
one political party to have both Jury
Commissioners. I'.ut what cafe they
f.r this ? Do ths Republicans in the
townships desire to be unrepresented
on the election boards ? To prevent
this they must immediately organize,
mike their nominations and get out
their full strength on Friday, the 13th
orMuroli. This must be done if we
would not have our right to vote, our
ballots and ballut-boxca, iu the present
important crisis, entirely under the
control of our unscrupulous political
opponents.
When the Legal Tender Act was
first passed there was not a so-called
Democrat in the country that did not
denounce it as utterly unconstitutional.
Now, their most cherished policy is tho
i.uo of hundreds of millions of green-
brinks more.
During the administration of
Abraham Lincoln they could find
no epithets too cbgrading to cx
prec their contempt of both the man
and his policy. Now they pretend to
support Andrew Johnson, because, for
footh, he is but carrying out the policy
of his predecessor.
A fow days ago they taunted us with
"why don't you impeach the Presi
dent ?" "You dare not impeach him !"
But now they meekly say, "He is your
own coon, skin him if you like !''

The Senator elect from Ohio, Judge
Thurman, made a speech to a large
serenading party. He said the present
representative body in tho National
Legislature was a mere fraction of the
American people, and contended that
until the eutire number of States were
represented in Congress, such a thing
as Republican form of Government
was not legally declared.
Not so 1 He ought to have said it
contained but a mere fraction of the
Democratic party representing the
Tail, while the Head was in tho South
unrepresented and where (thank
fortune) they will remain so despite
the will of their subordinates of the
North.

THE J.ATIO.VH MIUII COIET.
Wc give below from a contempora
ry, a few facts which may bo new a;:d
interesting to most of ourreadea:
But it is asked, Why should not the
Senate wait until the Supreme Court
has passed upon the constitutionality
of the law ? Wc answer, Because in
all that pertains to imptaelimfiDt, the
Senate, sitting as a High Quart
peach men t,i$ 'the suprme"1nlmnal,
and is clothed by the constitution with
power Wch the authors of our Gov
ernment dared not intrust the Supreme
Court. The High Court of Impeach
ment becomes a court to far above the
Supreme Court in every required qual
ity of constitutional power as well us
of learning, political wisdom, aud dig
nity, that the latter has no jurisdic
tion of the subject matter, or of the
parties, and least of all would its opin
ions be any authority on the questions
of law or of fact involved. It would
be a contempt of this High Court of
Impeachment, which would render
the Judges of the Supreme Court
themselves liable to impeachment and
removal, wore th
,cy to interfere in ftnv
T i . '
Impsachmsiit, arrwt, .
manner w ith the
conviction, or removal of President
Johnson, or with tho decision of the
questions of law or of fact on which
his conviction depends. From the
moment this High Court of Impcach-
Kncnt is organized, it becomes, as to
the particular case it has in hand, a
wholly superior, and indeed, absolute
ly supreme tribunal ; and w hatever the
ordinary Supremo Court may think of
the constitutionality of a law is of no
more consequent.: to the High Court
!of impeachment than would be the
opinion of our Court of Common Pleas.
All this Mr. Johnson must have well
known when he, as his admirers claim
took tho responsibility of disobeying
the Tenure-of-Oflioe law.
AX IXI'EACIIXEXT VIEW.
The Now York 2W-unc, of Tuesday,
contaius an elaborate and very able
article in favor of impeaching Presi
dent Johnson. The article is divided
under four different heads, which en
able tho reader to determine at a glance
thedrift of its argument. The heads
are as follows :
"Impeachment is Peace."
"Impeachment is Reconstruction."
"Iinpcichment is the Supremacy of
the Law."
"Impeachment means the Suprema
cy of Republican Institutions."
An earnest argument is made by the
Trihune in support of each of the f'oro-
rrninT nrnniwit.inna. an llip fnllnivtnrr
? . "
"Some ef our people may rave, and
swear, and gnash their teeth : but we
shall have no war no disturbance no
arresting tho w heels of Government
not the shimmer of a bayonet, nor the
click of a trigger nothing but the ordi
nary town constable, with his clumsy
baton. There is something grand to
us in this spectacle of a great cation
chan'iug an incompetent ruler by the
gentle and easy process of law. The
poor little three per cent, that the
gold-gamblers have made will melt
like the falling snow. Impeachment
is peace, because the common-sense
and the lovaltv of the nation demand
it." ' "
THADDr.rS UTEVENS.
At a large and enthusiastic meeting
of the loyal citizens of New York City
to endorse the impeachment proceed
ings of Congress, the following was
passed as orie of a series of resolutions:
JicDolved, That while awarding do
served praise to every member of the
Honsa of Representatives who con
tributed in any manner to this im
peachment of an apostate and a trait
or, thero is one who most especially
is entitled to our gratitude and honor.
Aged, dying, as ho approaches The
grave nearly and vet more nearly,
brighter grows his face, more radiant,
more beautiful his immortal crown of
glory. When the dishonored memory
of Andrew Johnson shall stink m the
nostrils sTthe people of this Republic
in the ages to come, the honored name
of Thaddeus Stcvcne, in every family
that loves liberty and justice to all,
shall be a household word.
So far from Impeachment creating
any serious revulsion in business it is
generally claimed that after the first
shock nnd the slight tremor attendant,
everything has brightened up. Stocks
are stiff, money seasonably close, trade
and commerce unembarrassed. Peace
is expected after thodisenlhronementof
Andy Johnson and with peace pros
perity. Let there be firmness and
moderation with dispatch on the part
of Congress,
It is reported here that an enthusi
astic Democrat telegraphed tho Presi
dent, on receipt of the Impeachment
news, and tendered him ono thousand
patriotic "white boy?" to uphold his
dynasty. Immediately gold went
down from 143 to' 140 on Wall St.a

Although Mr. Lincoln is dead his
Presidential "term" will not expire

Mr. Johnson is merely serving out

It is clear that Johnson intended to
I get possession of the War Department
as a means oi controlling me army.
His tenders of promotion and com
mand to prominent military officers
like Sherman and Thomas, who have
spurned his o tiers with such honest
and patriotio contempt, and his over
tures to minor ofheers to ascertain
whether they would put their troops
under his orders in defiance of those
of Gen. Grant, all show that Johnson
wanted, not to test the constitutinali-
ty of tho law, but to get control of
the army, or at least a considerable
portion of it, to employ it in resistance
to the measures of Congress and the

was not to test the constitutionality of j

the appointment of Rebels like Gen. j
Humphreys nnd Gov. Snarkey to of-1
lice. He did it as a clear violation
of law, because he thought the law
unwise. And Congress overlooked
his offense. His usurpation of the
legislative powers of Congress relative
to reconstruction was a serious politi
cal crime, but Congress overlooked it
in consideration of his known unfa

sustain, revealed a depth of personal
depravity unprecedented in the history
of public men in America. His com
plicity with the Rebels and traitors in
their anti-negro riot at Memphis and
Now Orleans, rendered him morally
responsible for scores of innocent lives,
anil showed him capable of winking at
any efforts to inaugurate a war of races.
His drunkenness when taken the

our most trusted civil officers, for their

forebore and condoned these offenses.
At last, howwer, Andrew Johnson,

Dear Sir : The Democratic State
Committee, at its recent meeting in

tion, viz :
"That we earnestly request the Dem

to take such measures as will secure

sound antl reliable Democratic JSews-
'nsper, tho County Nowspapcr to have
preference, ana that tney win also
endeavor to place such paper in the
hands of all who are willing to take,
and read the same." -
The circulation of Democratic truth
is vitally important. ' Error of opinion
can best he combatted bv calm argu
ment. The family fireside is the best
political meeting. Send yonf argu-
ments there, for dispionato reason

dropping wears the liarilcst stone,
and eventually the truths . we teach

Now is the time to make tho effrot
to secure that lodgment. The com
mencement of tho year, the lon
winter evenings, and the unprejudiced
condition of the minds of maiiv, as
compared with tho condition of the

reasons for mauing this attempt now.
I therefore address you with tho
earnest request that you will give this
subject prompt attention. Call to

Piiila., 27th January, '(38.
My Deau Jonx: I thank you for
Mr. Morton's speech and tho (llnbe.
Your enthusiasm for the speech has
been contagious through my house.
It could not have been bet'er; noth
ing more full without overflowing;
nothing more strong, without rage;
nothing so clear that is as deep, and
what it would hardly ho possible to
say of poetry, even by Dmham; noth
ing so logical without being dry has
been spoken or read for a long time
in eitlrr hou-c. Mr. Fis-ienden's
speech, two sessions ago, on tho Presi
dent's want of power was as perfect a
demonstration int. naiMiv nioro so.
How remarkable it is that after men
have been throwing knives and forks
at each other's heads all around the
room, making every one more crazy
than another, and raising such a dust
that no one can see what tho question
is, some grave man will quietly repeat
a few principles all of them well es
tablished and a few facts all of
them well known nnd uncontested
and the pother ends 1 Still I can't
believe the pother will cud. There is
a strong interest ngainst its ending;
nnd as some men can reason admirably
without legs, so other men can talk
incessantly without heads. Which
will get the final victory in a demo
cracy I am as far from being able to
say now as I was eighty years ago
Still I am on tho side of Morton's
law, antl always have been, and his
facts I believe. I have read nothing
better. I should like to have 6aid it
myself.
Affectionately yours,
Horace Binxey,
John William Wallace, Esq.,
Washington, D. C,
"The law is binding on me, Con
stitution or not, until set aside by the
proper tribunal." In that brief sen
tence, one month ao, General Grant
embodied the true theory of the Fed
eral Constitution, ami the fundamen
tal duty of patriotism. It was the
groat truth which invigorated and
sustained the Union arum from Fort
Sumter to Appomatox,and which, as
we thought, was sutliciently and -forever
vindictetl in the closing victories of
'G'y. Submission to the constituted
authority, acquiescence in all legally
unacted laws, the right and the correc
tive duty of appeal to the only consti
tutional arbitrament of the judiciary,
these plain, primary obligations of
each good citizen were never more
clearly conceived, or expressed with
more plain and direct simplicity, than
in those words of Gen. Grant. Had
the South accepted that truth in 1861,
there would have been no secession, no
rebellion, no war, antl no necessity lor
reconstruction. Had tho South last
year, attempted cither by traitors in
and out of office, or by tho terrible
power for mischief which it has arain
been able to wield through Andrew
Johnson President by virtue of an
assassination consented to receive
this simple truth as its political guide
the ten States would era this have re
gained all their practical relations, re
construction would hnve boon com
plete in restoration and the union of
thirtv-scven States once more bound
together upon the broad and lusting
basis nt .Liberty, Justice antl the con
stitution as it is; would have entered
upon the year 1868 standing before
the world the freest, the most prosper
ous, the most powerful! and the' most
enduring Republic of all time. '
And, now, lot ns show that we, the
loyal citizens of the Union, accept and
recognize in this simple truth ' the
pledge of oor own obedience1 to the
written raw, the plainest nnn most im
perative duty, of the hour. Di3re-
- ! gard that truth, emulate the Ki. ex
athplb of that bad man wh'c'm tho
people are'about to hurl ' down from
tho high place ho lias abused, and tho
days of tho Republic, aro numbered."'
Accept itj Set upon it, each and ' every "
citizen who loves his eoiintrv, and '
this crisis, which how seems so full of
peril, will bo stripped of all its terrors,
tho laws will have tjuiversal obedience !
and the country will soon emerge from
all peril ami with un uneloudedYuturf. ;' '
