THE TREAC1IEROIH NEVE.t. TIIEIR
RECORD,
On Saturday laat the Court of Im
peachment voted on thu 11th article
So ayes to 19 nays, and adjourned till
the 2Gth inst. The recusant Republi
can Senators that voted fur acquittal
were, Fesscndcn, Fowler, Grimca
Henderson, Robs, Trumbull and Van
Winkle. These meu have all made
for thcmsclvca a record of infamy.
They have foresworn themselves
stultified their own actions. Under
their oaths as Senators thev all sun-
ported the Civil Tenure Act, showing
that they believed it constitutional
On the 21st of February last the
Senate adopted the following :
Whereat, The Senate have read and
considered the communication of the
President stating that he had removed
Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of
"War, and had designated the Adjutant
ticnorai oi tnc Army to act as Secre
tary of war ad interim. Therefore,
Resolved. Bv the Senate of the
United States, that under the Consti
tution and laws of the United States,
the President has no power to remove
tha Secretary of War, 'and designate
any other officer to perforin the duties
oi mat oihce ad interim.
Four of the above named Senators
were not present, but Ross, Trumbull
and Van Winkle voted for it. Show
ing most conclusively that they boliev
ed the Civil Tenure Act applicable to
Stanton s case.
The following is the resolution rein-
Hiaung secretary &tanton, adopted on
the 13th of January Jgst:
Resolved, That, having considered
the evidence and reasons tm-pn hv tho
President, in his report of the 12th of
uccemDer, isb, tor the suspension of
Edwin M. Stanton, the Senate do not
conour in such suspension.
This resolution was supported and
voted for by Fessemlcn, Fowler and
Trumbull, the other four not voting.
In addition to this some of these men
have repeatedly demanded that the
President should bo Impeached. In
December last Mr. Fowler complained
of Mr. Benton of N. H., for voting
against Impeachment when Benton
replied:
."If we had impeached him, the
"Senate would have failed to convict
"him." Just send us an impeach
"ment," rejoined Mr. Fowler, "and
"you will be forced to admit that you
"have misjudged us."
On the 30th of January last a meet
ing of the Republican Congressional
Committee was held' at the house of
Senator Morgan, which Mr. Fowler
attended. Mr. Fowler at length took
the floor and said, "What has been
"urged here to-night is well ; but it
"docs not go to the root of the matter.
"There if no protection, no safety, no
"peace for the loyal people ' of the
"South, so long as Andrew Johnson
"remains in the White House. If
"Congress shall longer heSItato to
"impeach and depose this Johnson the
"blood of thousands of loyal Southern
"ers, murdered by . bloody-minded,
"implacable Rebels, will rest upon our
-"aouls," etc., efc. v -
Others of them, especially Fessen--3cn
and Trumbull have time and
again denounced the usurpations and
misdemeanors of the President in un
measured term.
Ia view of this array of facto the
HKtion arises, what could nave induc
ed tbeM men to their treachery? There
art many reaaoni adduced opposition
to Wade and his views of the Tariff
qtuation, disappointed ambition, a
)eape with Chase to form a third f ar-J
ty to defeat Grant a compromise with
Johnson, he proniisiug better things,
iic, &c. But the most plausible sup
position is that to which the New
York World gives the cue as follows :
"Let the men of wealth in this city
w ithout regard to party, assemble at
the lischange or in the Cooper lnsti
tute, mid subscribe a sufficient' sum
tenjmillions of dollars if need be
to buy a favorable verdict. There are
14 Radical Senators whose terms of
office expire in 1869. Beyond that
iiiuu uiey are ure ui no political posi
tion; so far as they know now, they
are certain of no 'paying place.' Sure
ly, as many as eight of these men
would far rather be sure of a million
each in hand than to wait for the
uncertainty of a $5,000 office by and
by. Let us buy their votes at their
own price."
For the Republica.
Mr. Editor: The last issue of the
Messenger has a column of its paper
devoted to the abuse of the Cumber
land Presbyterian ot this place, or its
editor, A4 B. Miller, who ia the Pres
ident of our College, for what it or he
said respecting the conduct of our
Judges in licensing taverns hereto sell
intoxicating liquors. The article does
not purport to be written by the editor
of the Messenger, although printed
without comment. And it indulges in
such choice epithets towards Mr. Mil
ler, as "false light;" "wolf in sheep's
clothing;" "blind loader;" "false wit
ness," &c, Ac. Although the editor
makes no comment, yet from his early
piety and christian walk and conver
sation, we are led to believe that the
article is a veritablo production of an
other hand, who has not the well-being
of our community much at heart.
The articlo he animadverts upon so
luminously, charges "That the judges
of our Court inclining to the liquor side,
were brought to a stand still, and in
order to save the sinting caus, and as
an apology for putting tkeir HANDS un
der U in broad day-light, when they
eoidd just as well pul theirTEvrt upon
it, declared the disposal of the case
laid over for a week, and thai the Peti
tioners might go out and procure signa
tures anywhere in the County," te.
The article further asserts that re
monstrances wero signed by a mijori
tyof the voting population and by
nineteen-twentieths of tho remaining
portion of tho community. This the
writer in the Mcsaenge)- charges as false,
and says that there wero only sixty
five voters in nil. Be this as it may,
wo do not believe it. But to give a
specimen of his mathematics, he says
there wero
Voting population 2G0
Number signed remonstrance 65
Didnotsig.i remonstrance 195
Now from these figures pray let
some school boy cipher it out who
comes niarest the truth Mr. Miller in
his guess of the majority, or the Writer
of the article by his figures. This
writer, who calls himself "a friend to
truth," makes out by his figures that
there is one hundred and niuety-five
of a majority in favor of a license
when the figures properly arranged
shows it false.
But whether these figures were made
to deceive the readers of the Messen
ger or not, we leave to be judged ; but
that was not the gist of Mr. Miller's
statement. What he said respecting
numbers was no doubt represented to
him, and the majority on the remon
strance in point of respectability was
indeed so great in the opinion of the
Court, as to cause the refusing of every
license, had thev acted upon them
promptly, as they ought.
iut instead of doing so, as thev
ought under the law, they paused and
at last without any application of the
kind from the applicants, they post
poned their decision for one week, and
told the applicants they might get all
persons to sign they could, and in
getting signers they were not restricted
to the citizens ot their respective town
ships.
1 here was the pinch of the matter
which showed the inclination of the
Court which amounts to a clear viola
tion of duty.
'And not satisfied with makinor such
a decision as they did, the President
argued in favor of thejlicense law to sell
liquor, and spoke of his own exoeri-
encejthat instead of a "temperance hotel
having one .barroom as in licensed
houses, they were Barrooms from cel
lar to garret." And the remark, al
though well received by his associates
from appearances, was considered by
men of as large experience as his
Honor as altogether gratuitous.
Ihese comments, Mr. .bditor, are
made in no spirit of levity, malevo
lence or bad feeling toward our Court
but in sorrow for a community that
is suffering every day for the want of
a good Judiciary and pure and good
minded men to govern our affairs.
Since Court, what has been our experi
ence but one continued scene of drunk
enness on the street, and brawling
midnight revels? "God, save the
Commonwealth and the Honorable
Court."
Now what can such a correspondent
think of himself, knowing these things
to be true? Can be be a roan of a
family, a lover of truth, as he styles
himself, or does be belong to the
"whiskey ring," as the character of
his writing denotes ?
I would advise him the next
time he attacks a man let it not be
ne who hat dona more to promote
toe interest of oar town, elevate and
correct the error of eociety here, than
any other man. Ipsa Veritas.

LA CROSSE DEMOCRAT.
We have been permitted to look
over a copy of this great paper, the
organ of Democracy. It is a quarto
in form, forty-eight columns mostly
reading matter, one wood cut illustra
tion of the dethronement of the God
dess of Liberty and the setting up in
her place a negro woman. It is de
voted almost wholly to politics, there
being but little news in it. It is hard
to tell which it abuses the more, the
Radicals, or Gov. Seymour. I was
astonished to find there was suuh a
"war in the camp." The few Demo
cratic journals I have read lately seem
to think all is going on smoothly, but
the way this giant pitches into Sey
mour, Belmont, the World and the
Chicago Times et al., will surely end
in the destruction of one of the par
ties. A few extracts will show its
style.
"The Rump Hell at Washington."
"Tho Devil's Impeachment cauldron."
"Mongrel Senators whipped in." "The
Radical show in Hell." "Miscegena
tion in Milwaukee." Such are a few
of the headings.
"No man in this broad land, from
the Lakes to the Gulf, so thoroughly
represents the Democratic heart as Mr.
Vallandigham." "The capacity of the
American donkey, Ulysses, is about
one-half gallon Old Rye, per deim."
"For deep-seated, lasting cruelty, for
refined barbarity, and double-distilled
devilishness, the organs of the shoddy
churches of the North are without a
parallel, their venomous course has
driven the great bulk of the people
outside the pale of the churches, and
tho people are just becoming a nation
of scoffing infidels." "The day will
como when a scrap of Confederate
grey will be more highly prized than
an acre of blue shoddy." "When the
reaction comes there will be aucrfa
freeing of mongrel spirits from their
earthly tenements; such a gushing of
impure blood from scrofulous carcas
ses ;auch a culling of brohchilis wind
pipes ; such a shrieking of deown east
terror-stricken voices; such a rapid
colonization of hell's sparo territories,
as was never recorded since tho Great
Architect rested from his labors on the
seventh day and said 'let there be
light."
The editor is a sharp observer, and
knows the class with which he deals.
He claims his paper has tho largest
circulation of tho Democratic weeklies,
being over 150,000 copies. His list
is increasing at a rapid rate. The
copy I saw contained a list of a hun
dred and ten persons from different
parts of the country who in ono week
had sent him clubs of subscribers,
ranging from five to twenty-five. It
also contains a few "letters from the
people"
"Darien Center, N. Y. lam form-
ingclubs, aud getting people to reJd the
Democrat. Your thunder is tho right
kind ; let it roll on until it shakes the
putrid flesh from (he rotten bones of
the rotten-hearted devil-doing, God
defying crew."
"Your paper has the reputation of
being true to its time-honored name
in this country." "Continue to pile
on the fuel and make it so hot that
Radicalism will gladly seek the present
abode of its martyrized 6aint in re
gions infernal, rather than endure the
torment administered here."
Will any one claim this paper is not
the true representative of Democracy?
In every portion of the country it is
superceding the World, the Herald,
and other papers of like stamp.
I would like to give a few extracts
for the benefit of Democratic women,
but from decency forbear. If any
one is incredulous as to the kind of
reading Democrats give to their wives
and daughters, let them come to me
and I will show them the proofs.
There are a great many quotations
from Shakespeare, particularly in the
editorials. But the way it comes out
on tho "Bond question" leaves not a
place for Seymour to stand on. Pen
dleton seems to be somewhat of a
favorite with it, but not so much as
Val. Bad grammar is conspicuous
throughout; also new names, such as
"boosting."
There is no doubt that the Demo
crats intend to fight it out on that line.
One thing seems to be certain, the
Democracy cannot be united solidly
on any one man, thus rendering a vic
tory for the "nigger lovers" doubly
easy. Ex.-D.
The Point Sustained. The Dem
ocracy have long been charged with
opposing schools and soldiers. The
Democratic Legislature of Ohio have
afforded positive demonstrations that
both points are well taken. They
have disfranchised College Students
and the crippled Soldiers at Dayton
Assylnm. Intelligence and patriotism
are alike inimical to the so-called
Democracy.

opinion that when the system is put

it does not, the Act is self regulating,

Mr. Editor; I see by your paper
that the Lawrence-Donley Imbroglio
is flatly denied by Mr. Donley. That
is not surprising to any one. A man
capable of a design such as he says he
stauds charged would deny it. The
denial of the truth would bo no worse
than being guilty of the charge. We
do ndt expect any in the secret to turn
states evidence. If he states the truth
be it so. But why did he not let his
purpose ot being a candidate become
known' in the iilace where ho lived to
his own party friends? Why write
secret letters to his relatives in order to
have them jmuked in convention? And
why such frequent correspondence
with G. V. Lawrence just before the
nomination? And why at last seek a
nomination from a convention uot
called for that purpose, with near a
dozen ot Ins own relatives packed in
it, if it wero not for a mere temporary
purjwsef No man, be lie soldier or
otherwise, can expect a support from
his people under such a nomination

ment. The dipt, is comparatively
young and may have bad counselors,
and it would bo well for him to stand
from under, lest his modesty be shock

The sanctimonious Democracy are

or undue influence the people arc mak

Massachusetts has recently ne
gotiated a loan of three million dollars
for twenty years at four per cent; per
annum. Hie .National Government
pays six per cent, gold, and our bonds
are taken cautiously nt that. In other
words, the United btales pays six per
cent, gold for one thousand dollars of
currency Massachusetts can for four
per cent, gold borrow one thousand
dollars in gold. Now this two per
cent, loss in interest, and twenty-live
or thirty per cent, loss in the rincipal
accurately represents tho influence of
the presence ot tho Democratic party
in tho country. In the Bay Htato tho
Democracy is substantially unknown.
As an clement of power it has no
meaning. Repudiation, of course, is
not only never mooted or discussed,
but never so much ns breathed. With
her sixty thousand Republieau major
ity, a reflection on the commercial
honor or credit of Massachusetts would
be resented similarly as an aspersion
on tho virtue of one's wife or daugh
ter. Repudiation thero is treason, and
repudiators are looked on as traitors,
and we see the result. We, as a na
tion, are paying dear for the being in
our midst of the disloyal organization.
One half of tho taxes now paid by the
people ot the United states are di
rectly chargeable to tho Democracy.
It costs us just twice as much to borrow
money as need be, by reason of the
dishonest policy and course of this

At a meeting of the Boys in Blue

General Joshua T.Owen, a resolution
was unanimously adopted expressing
the belief that the course of Senators
Grimes, Fesscndcn and Trumbull is
prompted by malice, jealousy, disap
pointment and perhaps a baser motive,
and no punishment known to us would
express our utter detestation of these

COLORED CONSERVATIVES
"Savannah, May, 8. A large
meeting of colored conservatives was
held last evening. A United States
flag was presented to the meeting by
white citizens. Speeches were made
by white and black men, and great
enthusiasm manifested.
Colored Conservatives, that means
"nigger" Democrats. And they held
a 'meeting in Savannah, a Southern
city, but we do not read of them being
mobbed, stoned, clubed, or shot at, by
the high minded chivalry, who cannot
bear the idea of acknowleding "nigger
equality." But, on the other hand,
we read of the white citizens, no doubt
tho very elite of Savannah, presenting
this "black and tan" gathering with
what? Why nothing less than that
hitherto much hated United States
lajr. And that was not all. speeches
were maue uy iiotn white anu black
men, and great enthusiasm prevailed,
so says the report. That certainly
smacks of "inongrelism," and a
proaciics nearer to all kinds ol equali
