a nero trader, rtnd two planters
from I;it Toyehe, still held on. Al
though they flayed almost incessantly
for four days and nights, yet luck had
favored neither party, and they vore

"bueking" had been p'ini'ipally lie

the game was renewed, and the by

We invito particular attention to
tho following, from that able and in
fluential Journal, Harper's Weekly :
Tho Democratic lenders have lately
been in council at Washington io de
termine when and where the next
Convention of the party shall nii;Ct to
nominate a candidate for the l'resi
doney. The President scicd the oc
crtsiuii to show his peculiar claims
unon the nomination by a defiance of
Congress; and to shelve one of his ri
vrtls liy nominating General MoClollan
as Minister to England. The chiefs
of the party, Mr. August Belmont at
their head, doubtless compared notes
upon the situation, and wo will now
take sweet counsel with them.
The last Convention of the Demo
cratic party, us we all remember, and
do not mean to forget, met at Chicago
at tho end of August, 136 1. Tho
campaign of Grant in Virginia had
been lonsr: tho suspense was painful,
and the general disappointment at tlio
failure ot the l'ttersburg mine imu
cast a gloom over the county, Sher
man had not reached Atlanta, ni'd
when hi) was there, what was to fol
low ? It was ono of tho dark epochs
of tlio war : and tho Democratic Con
vention resolved to make tho most of
it. Horatio Seymour, , as President,
made an anti-war speech. The reso
lutions wero inspired by Vallandigj
ham, a frank secessionist. They de
rided the war as a failure, denounced
the acts of the Government, and de
manded surrender to the . rebellion
under the name of compromise, Upon
this ulatforiu General MeClellah and
H. Pendleton, tho latter of
whom had declared that tho rebel
States should be allowed to have their
way, wei-o nominated for President
and Vice-President. The proceedings
of the Convention wero telegraphed
with triumph through the country,
mid the organs and orators of the
partv in Chicago aud elsewhere fierce
ly vituperated tho Government and
the war. The political campaign was
short; sharp, and decisive. Every
State that took part in the election,
excent Kentucky. Now Jersey, and
Delaware, declared against the Democratic-
policy of Surrender to the re
bellion and consequent national ruin;
and of the 233 electoral vo-es tho
n.moiT-atiu candidates received but
91.
Upon the Inauguration of Mr. Lin
coln for his second term the organs of
tho Detnncratio party devoted thein-..k-:o
.liMinnioiitimi of tho melan
choly specfJcle of Vice-President
Johnson's drunkenness. The New
York II'orM described his speech' as
"the spewings of a t'r.inken bior,"
anl 'he Vi c-l're ido it Iruse'.f us
"tiiis incident drunken brute, in com
parison with whom even Caligula's
horse was" resj-Mahlc." Ho was also
this "clownish drunkard," "betrayed
by his own beastly instincts and his
boorish mind." Mr. Lincoln1 was
murdered, and Mr. Johnson became
President. Prom that time to this he
has endeavored in every way to defeat
tho will of the loyal people as express
ed by Congress, to surrender the late
rebel States to the exclusive political
supremacy of the rebels, and to aban
don the frcedmch wholly (o the mer
cies of tho late masterclass. In pur
suinj this policy, which undoes as far
as possible tho work of war, which, if
suecesslul, would engage tue country
m interminable struggles, and wlucli
is repugnant to nonor, reason, nnu
patriotism, tho President has ceased to
bo, in the eyes of the Democratic
party a clown, an insolent brute, a
man of beastly instincts, and a drun
ken boor, and has become a great con
stitutional statesman, whose words are
no longer "spewings but precious
d'ops of conservative wisdom.
Under the necessary leadership ot a
man "witn whom even caiiguias
horse was respectable," the party is
becinnini: its campaign. He is not
vet-nominated, and he may not be the
candidate; but es his policy is thatot
the party, and as ho commands the
patronage, he is in tho position ot
leader, whether the other chiefs ap
prove or not. But just here beirin
the dltT'cuH'ies.' It is easy to name a
place for the Convention to meet but
who shall be the candidate? The
West pronounces loudly mid in ad
vance lor 1 eniilcwn whose liencn-
man is Vallandigham and repudia
tion.- The Eastern States, ifr which
Democratic- leaders are heavy bond
holders, prefer Seymour, and as they
have succeeded in calling the Conven
tion in the city of New York, the
chances of Sevnicur's nomination are
increased. But the West will come
full of hope and resolution for Pendle
ton and repudiation!
The great Generals of the war
furnish no candidate, for they natur
ally have no sympathy with' the party
which in tho hour ot their peril and
heroism declared the war a failure and
its soldiers' "Lincoln's hirelings."
There is no man upon whom the party
fr. 111 .1
unites. t nen me enniiuiate is nomi
nated the party machinery will of
course be put nnder high-pressure to
produce a lactitiotis enthusiasm, Dm
the bondholdiuz Do'rrtocrats will not

phy cf 1'endlcton as.amiaDty as xur.
Curtius Belmont,-and while they shout
ajrainst the inicioity of not taxing
bondswill do all they" 'can to save
their bonds from taxation'.' Indeed
there is but one point upon which the
great Demoeratio party is a unit, and
that is, hostility "to the equal suffrage
TiRMNEsTn THERIOlfT
-
of colored citizens. Upon this. Bub
lime principle it takes its stand, and
who, ttpoii the whole, so proper a rep
resentative 'of it as the Nashville
Mnses? . ,
Btlt while the chiefs consult the
battle begins'. In New Hampshire,
where the election takes plate early in
March, the spirit which is to inspire
the Democratic campaign in - the
country is already manifested. One
of the orators denounces- tho "miser
able battle-flues" in tho Stato House
at Concord, and especially hates the
memory ot soldiers. "I do not know,
he considerately suggests, "as I would
hang one-legged and one-armed sol
diers, but I would pray tn God to get
them out ot our way as soon as poss
ible." Mr. Henry Clay Dean, a rep-
icsontative Democratic patriot, seizes
a cano In the midst of one of his
speeches, and rushes at a dissenting
auditor, threatening to beat out his
brains. Mr. C. Chauncey JJurr, an
other of the same kind, contemptu
ously asks of tho men who served in
the New Hampshire regiments, or sus
tained them; "Who are conquered
you or tho South? I say you are con
quered. You can never conquer tho
Soiith,and I pray God you never may."
cnninaiL'n of 1868 precisely where his
party began it at Chicago irt 1864, by
declarim? the war a failure, and advia-
ing us to suo tor terms; J.ur. n ranKiiu
Pierco alsd takes an active interest in
171 I I
the election, and his activity naturally
recalls his cheerful letter to Jefferson
Davis in January, 1860, in which ho
wrote: "Tho fighting will not be
along Mason and Dixon's line merely ;
it will bo within our own borders, our
own streets."
All this does not seem to bo very
promisinK for the Demoeratio party,
To be sure Mr. Vallandigham is going
to speak iu Connecticut, and perhaps
Mr. Eernaudo Wood and Mr. Brick
Pomerov can bo persuaded to como
over and help. But we remark with
concern that the mass meeting of the
"Prisoners of Stato" that is, of men
who wero cauidit endeavoring to be
tray the country to the rebellion after
tho hiirh Vallandiirham manner, was
indefinitely postponed. And araidrit
all this distraction and perplexity of
tho great pnrty of reaction, of negro
hate and ot Hpecial privciego, now ex
asneratinir to see the rrreat party of
equal rights tho party that did not
believe the war a failure, not' invite

justice and patriotism, warmly uniting
upon tho wise anil magnanimous cmei
of the army of loyal citizens as their

whole people, as their policy cf "recon

Tho Philadelphia MorniM Post
puts the following relevant queries
concerning Impeachment:
If a President is never to bo im
peached, pray why is there a constitu
tional provision for that extreme pro
cess?
If aPicsident Is to execute merely
those laws which may happen to suit
his convenience or to square with his
convictions, pray what is the use of
having a Congress at all ?
If a President ir'y with impunity
make the Secretary of War his mere
crer.'tiire, pray what. is the use of hav
ing a ar Department at all, and
,wby not do its business in some back
oflice of the White House?
If a President may create a War
Secretary or destroy the same officer
at his pleasure, what is to prevent his
dealing as ho pleases with the whole
army?
And if with the army why riot with
tho Navy?
Ami if with the Navy, why not
with the Treasury ?
And if with tile Treasury, why not
with the State Department?
And if with' the State Department,
why not with the Post Office?
And if with the Post Office, why
not with tho Department of the Inter
ior? -
And' if with the Department of the
Interior: why not with the Attorney
General?
And if with the Attorney General,
why no! with fli'a .Supreme Court?
And if with the pupreme Court,
why not with the Senate?
And if with the Senate, why not
with the House? -: .
And if with the House, why not
with the voters in all the congressional
districts?
Thus the President is impeached
because ho has substantially claimed
supreme and irresponsible control over
the lives, and the, liberties, and all the
posessions of all the citizens of this
Republic. The right to break our
law implies the right to void the Presi
dential rheum upon the whole statute
book to imprison, hang, behead,
banish, confiscate to be the autocrat
of this, whole landYvTith nobody to
question his authority or to dispute
his personal wiltT . -
So' we end as we began r , '

peached? ' ' ,, , ' ' ' ,
2T And, if a President is eve t4 be
impeached,' w"hy not" Andrew John

As Louis Burs-cr. the well known
author and philologist, was walking in
tho Avenue des Champs Elyseca the
other day he heard a familiar voice
exclaiming,
"Buy some nuts of a poor man, sir

He looked up aud recognized

"What ! are you selling nuts ?" said
he,
"Ah, sir, I have been unfortunate
"But this is no business tor a man

of something better to do,"retumed the
barber, with asigh

a moment ; then tearing a leaf from

tlie ABnl.t ART INT.
Ciesar Ducornet was born in Lille,
France, January 10, 1806. ; Born as
he was. without arms, what was there
for him to do. even in this busy world?
Each foot had but four toes, but he
early learned to use thtel to advan-
tatre. Y nen very yoime fie couiu
witli ease throw a ball, cut with
knife, and draw lines on the floor
with chalk, and could even cut figures
on paper with Ins mothers scissors,
He early .became a srood ' penman,
From this he passed to drawing and
naturally enough to painting, tho wido
space between his great too and the
next enabling him to grasp nis orusncs
firmly. At the age of thirteen his
progress astonished Watteau, professor
at tho school of design, in Lillie, who
received him as a pupil. Only three
years later, ho took the first prize for
a drawing ot tne nnnran ngure irom
nature. Atlor " this ho pursued h
studies in Paris. Ho was of a lively
temperament, and when in conversa
tion ho became animated, ho was in
the habit of gesticulating with his
legs, as other persons do with their
arms. Somo ono has described a visit
to his painting room, which is inter
eating:
"Across tho whele extent of the can
vass ran, with increuiuie agnity, nice
A By upon tho wall, tho stunted trunk
ol a man, surniounteu uy a nooie neau
with expansive brow and eye of fire
and wherever tho apparition passed
along the canvass, he left the traces of
color behind him. On approaching a
few paces nearer, wo were aware ol a
lofty but slender scaffolding in front
of the canvass, up and down and across
tho steps and stages of which climbed,
and crouched, and twitted it is im
possible to describe how tho shape
le?3 bsiog wo had come to see. We
saw then that he was deprived cf arms;
that he had no thighs : that his short
legs were closely united to his body ;
and that each of hi3 feet wanted a toe.
By one of his feet he held a palette
by the other a pencil ; in his mouth j
also he carried a largo brush and n
second pencil. And in all this harness
he moved, and rolled, and writhed,
and painted, in a manner more than
marvelous! a voice musical ; grave
and sonoroii", saluting us by name, in
vited its" to bo scatpcl. Then the ap
par'tion glided down the whole Jength
of the scaffold to the ground, advanc
ed, or rather rolled toward .us, and
with a bound established1 himself on
the eofa at our side. We watched
hircf with interest and had a long con
versation with him. Ho told us he
had beeu born without arms, and had
been a painter ton years, and was now
making money by h'm.art.. He used
his feet With almost as much ease as
people do their hands, holding his
pallette in his left one, and his brush
in the right, as though all -his toes
wero fingers, changing thctn with the
most perfect facility, and even trust
ing his foot into his pocket, as another
man would his hand. He wrote his
name for. Us with great rapidity, and
well, and fold us he shaved himself."
The Secret" I noticed," said
Franklin, "a mechanic among a
number of others, at work on a house,
erecting but a little way from my office,
who always appeared to be in a merry
humor, who had a kind and cheerful
smile for every one he met. Let the
day be ever so cold, gloomy or sun
less, a' happy smile danced like a sun
beam on his cheerful countenance.
Meeting him, one niorning, I asked
hiin to tell me the secret of his con
stant happy flow of spirits. 'No se
cret, Doctor,' he replied. 'I have got
one of tha best of wives, and when I
go (o work she always has a kind
word of encouragement for mcy and
when I go home she meets me with. a
smilo and a kiss,' and then tea is sure
to be ready, and slie has done so many
little things to please me4 that I cannot
find it ip my heart to speak an unkind
word to any body.' . What, influence,
then, has woman over the heart of man
to soften it and make it the fountain
of cheerful and pure emotion ? Speak
gently, then ; greeting after the toils
of the day are over eos,t4 nd&lig, and
goes fai' toward" making home Happy
and peaceful." f

which sueh small and uniform maior-

Republican party has done everything"
it set out to do, constantly advancing
to new achievements, and constantly
-winning fur its course tho approval of
the country, while the Democratic par
ty vainly opposed .every euceesstul
measure, and abandoned its opposition
only when overwhelmed with defeat.
The odds and losses in the last battles
of tho war wero not greatly different
from those In the first. But the
g'-aiid peculiarity of the five years'
struggle was that after nearly every
battle tho Rebels retired and the
Union armies advanced.
It is so in our political contests.
The Democracy could not bo expected
to gravely meet in convention, and
open their resolutions by admitting
that they abandon their previous posi
tions. But year byypar they do aban
don their own positions of tho previ
ous year, add very frequently tldopt in
their stead a plattorm which would
have been as Radical a year or two
earlier. It is by this constant pro
cess of "accepting tho situation" forced
upon them by the Republican parly,
and toning their piatiorms to auapi
them to the victorious march of Re
publican principles, that Dcmocrata
are able to keep just abotit so close in
tho rear of the Republican innruli, and
to maiutain their formidable minori
ties or local majorities. They deride
our music, but are compelled to fall in
to line, and march to it. ; Thus, prior
to I860, tho gist of Democracy was an
iudorsemcnt'bf the rightf Secession,
aa expressed in the Virginia and Ken
lucky resolutions of 1798, and of the
constitutional equality of the right to
own slaves with the right to own any
other property. - 1 hore is not a nhred
of either of these principles now loft in
any Democratic platform, North or
South, in tho country. On tho con
trary) the Republican doctrine that
slavery was wrong and ought, not to
bo extended into tho Territorial, and
the subsequent expnnsion of this truth
into tlio doctrine that having rebelled,
it must be abolished by military force
are silently ncccptcd by the Demoerat
io party. No Republican measure was
assailed by'thc Democrats more vehe
mently than tho Lezal Tender act. but
now they want tho whole uovernmeiit

eminent could be destroyed by lU re -
bcllion, But now they accept tlc
State, governments cr?ftteu uy uat o
Andrew Johnson, and only deny that
Congresa could cupersedi them. In
180a,thev proclaimed that if theblacks
should vote, it would lead to universal
miscegenation. All the blacks in the
South have voted, yet there fa proba
bly lass miscegenation there thnn ever
before, and now leading apostles of
the Demoeratio party, like Senator
Doolittlc. and leading proves, like
Tlie N. Y. Yrorkl and Chicago Times
have advocated negro suffrage, either
universal or partial. , In 1861, 18G2,
and 18G3. the Democratic party pre
dicted that the Morrill Tariff would
destroy the country.; but in 1865 and
18G6, they tacitly assented to the pro
priety of increasing it. .When the
State Bank circula. ion was taxed out
of existence, they - raved at this a? an
"audacious invasion of the rights of
the States and individuals," but now
the most querulous Democrat raises no
voice in favor of returning to the State
Bauk system. . I he Democrats oppos
ed the the drp.ft for men to carry on
the war so persistently and fiercely that
it required titty thousand troop3 to be
withdrawn from our armies to enforce
the measure in New York and Indiana.
They opposed volunteering, and their
leading orators and presses dc-nounced
the troops as "hireling mercenaries,"
and demanded that "no more men
should' be sacrificed in Lincoln's
slaughter pens." Grant was denounc
ed as a butcher, and Sherman as' a lu
natic. Yet'they now vaunt the ser
vices of the Democratic party in sup
pressing the Rebellion, trtoreby reced
ing from their position tlrat the war
was wrong. Their last National plat
form declare-! that the war for the
Union was a failure. It is a singular
ecmraert oh Democratic principles
that as no National Derotcratic Con
vention has met since, tln'j declaration
is still ther-leading plank in the Na
tional Democratic platform. "They
will soon meet and adopt as a substi
tute that the laws of Congress for re
construction are a failure ! They
boast themselves preeminently the de
fenders of the Constitution, .yet their
leading policy is the taxation of the
National debt,' which the Supreme
Court of the United States has three
times decided to be unconstitutional.
This gradual change in the principles
of the Demoeratio party is manifest
in the first clause of the New Hamp
shire platform! T.n,,' .'-

Such a clause in a political platform
in 1862-6 would havestamped its au
thors as Republicans. Rutin 18,, Af

query among the rebels during tho
war. "What becomes of all our im
