"Light, more light!" is the start
ling cry of the honest people groping
in thedarkness of Radicalism. "Light,
more light I" shouts the groaning tax
payer, bending under the load which
a Radical Congress has heaped upon
him. "Light, more light!" is the
pleading cry that comes to us from
those who earnestly seek u remedy for
the disease that is tugging at the vi
tals of the nation. Look and ye shall
see! Read and ye shall know! The
BEDFORD GAZETTE, for the Presi
dential Campaign, will be a complete
compendium of political news, speeches,
documents and every thing that per
tains to a political canvass in the col
umns of a weekly newspaper. It will
be published from the first day of June
until the seventh of November, next,
at the following low terms, cash in ad
vance :
One copy, $ -75
Ten copies, <>-bb
Twenty copies, 11.DO

Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
coming campaign, but he should like
wise make it a point to furnish his Re
publican neighbor a copy. This is
the plan upon which our opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
time that Democrats do something of
the same sort. NOW, GO TO W( >RK
and put gour Democratic newspaper into
the hands of everg Republican who will
read. If you will do this you will
accomplish more good in six months
than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, to circulate Dem
ocratic newspapers at a very small
cost. We appeal to them to see to get
ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.
Now is the time to sow the seed. Af
ter a little while the heat of passion
and prejudice will beam upon the pub
lic mind in all jts intense fierceness,
and then seed-time will have passed.
Friends, let us hear from you !
EXLARGEKEKT.
At the close of tlie present volume,
on the first of August next, the GA
ZETTE will he enlarged to thirty-two
columns, and will then beoneof the lar
gest weeklies in the State. As this en
largement will entail considerable ex
pense upon us, wo ask all who are in
arrears to pay up promptly. Cannot
one thousand of our subscribers pay in
advance. On the first of August we
will begin the publication of a llott of
Honor, which will contain the names
of all subscribers who pay for their pa
per in advance. Now friends, let us
see whether this list cannot be made to
run up to one thousand names. One
half of our subscribers, at least, should
pay in advance.
TO OI N READERS.
The editor of this paper having be
come connected with the Democratic
Daily newspaper at Harrisburg, will
hereafter spend a part of his time at the
latter place, at the same time retaining
his interest in the GAZETTE and con
tinuing his residence in Bedford. The
GAZETTE will remain under his edi
torial supervision, and each issue will
contain the usual number ot articles
from his jen. lie has obtained the aid
of a competent assistant, and hence
feels justified in saying that the GA
ZETTE will be greatly improved in the
future. During the coming campaign
the Democracy of Bedford county shall
hear from us, as in times past, both
from the tripod and the stump. Mean
while, let the party be thoroughly or
ganized, and let every Democrat be
prepared to strike for victory.

We call the attention of the Dem
ocrats of Bedford county to the call
published in tle Gazkttk for the an

to be held on Monday, June 22. We
hope the best men in the party will be
elected as delegates and that there will

TWO FOFXTRIE.S AXI TWO M,AS.
j The Crosby Opera House Chicago
Radical Platform, upon which Useless
Slaughter Grant has been placed as a
candidate for President, contains the
following plank :
"The guarantee of Congress of equal
suffrage (a all loyal men at the South,
1 was demanded by every consideration
; of public safety, of gratitude, and of
j justice, and must be maintained, while
| the question of suffrage in all the toga!
j states properly belongs to the people of
[ those states."
Thus "equal suffrage to all loyal men
i at the South," is made one of the car
! dinal principles of the so-called Ke
j publican party, whilst the question
! whether "equal suffrage" should be
granted to "all loyal men" at the
North, fs left undetermined. "All
loyal men," including6oo,ooo Negroes,
are made voters at the South, whilst
at the North, "the people" are to de
! cide whether "all loyal men", Negroes
| included, shall, or shall not become
; voters. This is equality with a ven
t geaneel Here is drawn a line between
the North and the South, as broad as
that which divided the two sections
in the days of slavery. 1 lere are made
two countries, with a different rule of
suffrage for each. Here are two flags
set up, the one with "Equal suffrage to
all loyal men at the South," inscribed
upon it, the other bearing the motto,
"Equal suffrage to till loyal men at the
North, provided they can get it Of
course we protest against Negro Suff
rage, in all its phases; hut we ask in
telligent "Republicans" to note this
glaring inconsistency in the platform
which they are asked to endorse. If
Equal Suffrage is to he the rule in the
United States, why give the benefit
thereof to the ignorant and degraded
ex-slaves of the South, whilst you deny
it to the more intelligent and enligh
tened blacks of the North? ft is
answered, in the language of the
Chicago Platform, that "gratitude and
justice" demand that the Negroes of
the South should be given the right of
suffrage. Ah! hut many of those
Negroes were "rebels" and even now
sympathize with the disfranchised
whites, as was proved by the recent
elections in Georgia and Louisiana.--
Besides, do not "gratitude and justice"
equally demand that the blacks of the
North, who went into the army and
"proved their loyalty," should be
granted the same privileges that are
conferred upon those of the South?
Most assuredly. How cowardly and
shameful, then, is the distinction
which this sham "Republican" party
makes between the blacks of" the South
and those of the North-! How strong j
the contrast between this and the doc- j
trine of the Democratic party, which \
advocates .one rule of suffrage for all
the States, for the whole country.—
That rule is, The people of each and
everg state, North and South, East and
West, shall settle for themselves, the
question of Suffrage. Under the Demo
cratic theory there is but one country
and but one flag. Under Democratic
rule, no black line shall divide the
Union into two countries, with one
rule of suffrage on the one side and
another on the other, no two Hags
shall symbolize different political in
stitutions for different sections, but the
people of each and every State shall
determine for themselves what shall
be the character of their institutions,
subject only to the Constitution of the
United States. Away, then, with
Grant who stands upon this platform
which divides, instead of uniting, our
country;away with the political or
ganization which rallies under two
flags, one for the North and the other
for the South ; let every true patriot,
every man who hopes and prays that
the Republic may yet live, march un
der the banner of Democracy, whose
motto is, "One Country, One flag and
One Destiny!"

Gen. U.S. Grant has been nominated
for President by the Radical Conven
tion which met at Chicago last week.
He has accepted the nomination and
stands upon the platform adopted by
the Convention. The second resolu
tion of that platform endorses (he action
of Congress in forcing the right of suf
frage upon (he Negroes of the South at
the point of the bayonet, and declares
that this "equal suffrage must be"main
tained." Thus Grant is made the en
dorser of the infamous Reconstruction
acts which make 000,000 Negroes vo
ters and give them as much power in
the Government as is possessed by 600,-
000 white voters in the North ! There
was quite a sprinkling of Negro dele
gates in the Convention, who, of course,
were enthusiastic for Grant. John
Cessna was there, too, but we think
was a little ashamed of himself, as he
didn't open his mouth during any of
the proceedings. Imagine John sitting
between two odoriferous Sambos, in
thecrowded Crosby Opera House, where
everybody and everything was red hot
for Grant! W-li-e-w ! No wonder he
had nothing to say. We doubt not,
however, that he assisted, in a quiet
way, the darkey delegates, in unani
mously nominating Grant.

On Friday evening last, Gov. Geary
addressed the National Union Club, of
Philadelphia, upon the subject of the
Chicago nominations and politics gen
erally. The following report of his
remarks is taken verbatim from the
Philadelphia Press, of Saturday. We
would like to see the man who, after
reading this luminous speech of His
Excellency, will dare to endorse
theill natured remark of JohnCovode,
that "Geary is the humbuggest Gov
ernor weever had!" If any one doubts
Geary's ability to make such a speech,
we refer him to the Press of the date
aforesaid. Forney may have "doctor
ed" it a little, but we do not hesitate
to pronounce it original with the Gov
ernor. The Press reports him as fol
lows, barring the headings of the para
graphs, which are ours:
He Leaves Harrisburg, amid the Booming of Can
non.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the
National Union Club: Please accept
my hearty and cordial thanks for this
welcome to me. When I left Harris
burg I left it amid the booming of can
non resounding on the banks of the
Susquehanna. On the way here 1 saw
glad eyes, banners displayed, and the
hearty shake of the hand in every vil
lage and hamlet. 1 say I feel glad
when I hear the booming of artillery
and saw the spirit that is in tlie peo
ple of Peensylvania. I felt that though
we had a wily foe to contend with, yet,
with the nominations that tlie conven
tion at Chicago has made, we have
nothing to fear while this spirit is in
the people.
lie concludes there is work for tie Ruds., and
makes some "sedentary remarks."
But it is true that we Ifave work be
fore us, even with the great hero,
Grant, at the head of our national tick
et. We must be up and doing, and
not tire either in the day or night.—
We are contending with a foe that has
been the enemy of the country for
years, with whom many of us couten
lendcd on the tented field. You must
expect my remarks to be somewhat
sedentary, for 1 have had no time to
prepare a written speech or collect mv
thoughts. Mr. President, if ever the
Republican party had reason to con
gratulate itself and the country on a
favorable movement, it is upon the
present occasion.
He has known Grant for twenty one years and
testifies that there was "stuff" in hiin at Molino
Del Key.
The Convention at Chicago has placed
before us a most acceptable ticket, one
that has not been excelled since the
days of Washington and Jackson.—
What can be said of General Grant
that has not been said to every one
present already ?
General Grant lias been placed on
the ticket for the highest position
known to the American people, and
he is well deserving of it. It has been
my province to know him for twenty
one years. We were both young men
together in the Mexican war. He
was the same enduring hero then as
he proved himself to be in the late re
bellion. I knew him when a second
lieutenant, when Molino del Key prov
ed that there was more stuff in him
than apparent upon the surface. He
was brevetted as a tirst lieutenant
there for gallantry. He left some
time afterwards for home, but not he
fore he had been made a captain.
He gives the best reason why Grant should be
elected Fresodent. viz : Ilis father was from
the Democratic county of Westmoreland :
We, as Pennsylvanians, have some
thing to say of him. His father was
from old Westmoreland county, the
place of my own nativity, i have
often stood on the ground where he
was born, i know Grant well. It
was my good fortune to serve under
him in the war just closed. I first served
under him at Wauhatehie. I first saw
then the power of his mind as a mili
tary man. [Applause.] He tirst di
rected the assault upon Lookout Moun
tain. lie turned the cannon upon
Missionary Ridge and on Chickamauga,
and obtained the victories at Taylor's
Ridge, near Ringgold.
Ke has dined with Grant and never saw any
thing strong upon his table, but thinks Ulysses
has been treated—ungenerously.
T want to show you what I know
of the man that lie may be acceptable
to you. I know him well; I have
dined with him, and I never saw any
thing strong upon the table. I never
knew him to touch spirits of any kind.
I believe there is no man who has
been more ungenerously treated on
that subject during the last few months
than Grant.
Grant spreads his maps before Geary and informs
the latter that he (Geary) and his divisions wore
instrumental, <fcc.
On a certain occasion, when dining
with Grant at Chattanooga, after the
cloth had been removed he called for
his maps, which he spread before me,
and said : "Sir, you and your division
have been instrumental in obtaining
the victories around this city. The
plan for the next campaign is already
formed, and it is proper you should
know it. I intend to concentrate my
troops around this place and pour them
on Atlanta, while a strong attack is
made on Richmond. After Atlanta
falls a line will he taken for the sea
shore, ending either at Charleston or
Savannah, and having thus made our
point, we will enter the Carolinas and
take Richmond."
Justice must be done—Sherman stole Grant's
thunder—Grant's talents shown by his name be
ing a "synonyme
This was in 1863, nine months before
the city of Atlanta was taken. Justice
should be done, and I tell you so that
you will know who it was that planned
"the march to the sea, and bisected the
Confederacy, and brought tin 1 rebellion
to a termination. [Cheers.J As far as
his other military services are concern
ed, it would be superogaiion in me to
attempt to diseribe them. Many of
you have served under him and knew
the man before he became Com man -
der-in chief of the army. We shall
have in him when elected, one of the
best Presidents we ever had. We al
ready know something of him.—
When he was in the War Department
he showed his talents, by the fact that
his name has since been a synonyme.
The Scholar Schuyler—Geary gives the best rea
son why he should be supported, viz : He was
was born in the Democratic city ot ,uw York.
Schuyler Colfax is another self-made
man—one of the citizens of the country.
A man born in the city of N. York—one
of the ripest scholars on the continent,
whose mind is refined by every accom
plishment; who is acquainted with all
the forms and spirit of parliamentary
law —Schuyler Colfax [applause] comes
of the purest old Revolutionary blood
on both sides. lie is almost a direct
descendant from General Schuyler.
There was never a greater man presen
ted than him ; as a statesman he is
good, safe, sure, prudent, and patriotic.
There is not a dissenting voice in the
land that if it speaks from the heart,
can say he is not so.
If Grant should "slip up" on Radicalism, Ac.
If any accident should happen to the
head of the ticket we have in him one
whom it is safe to rely on, who will ad
here to the principles of the Republican
party. It would not be as when the la
mented Lincoln was assassinated, that
fatal scheme that gave us the man who
causes thousands to hang their heads
with shame—a man whom 1 proved
here, in this city, last fall, was a rebel
before the war, and only became a Un
ionist because he could not be second
in the government of Jefferson Davis.
1 know him and know what I say. I
challenge any man In the United States
to deny it.
He eshumcs the corpse of Jiin bane and reviles
the dead.
There is also another circumstance
that makes us how our heads in humil
iation. to think that we have in our
household, men who betray their fam
ilies. A few years ago, James Lane, of
Kai.sas, came with all the dignity of
his State to the United States Senate,
and there shamefully abused the con
fidence that the peoplereposed in him ;
recreant to every trust, he became in ev
ery sense of the word a bad man. When
he went back, no voice sounded a wel
come, 110 friends caine to greet him,
and what was the consequence? lie
took a pistol and blew his brains out
—a most fitting termination for his
treason.
Terrible treason; "We must have a discipline in
the Republican party or it will fall to pieces "
We have had iu the late impeach
ment trial such terrible treason as to
make us tremble to think that we must
trust bur lives, our honors, and our
fortunes to such men. We must have
a discipline in the Republican party, or
it will fall to pieces. It is like an army.
When a Senator is elected, he is to the
people just as n general officer is to his
brigade or division. What would we
think if we saw seven or eight gener
als back out of an engagement or de
s( rl to theenemy? If they were caught
again they would be tried by a drum
head court-martial, and shot.
An honest confession • "For six or seven years we
(Geary autl his parly) have been pouring out
the blood of the nation like water."
For six or seven years we have been
[touting out the blood of the nation
iike water; three or four hundred
thousand of our people have laid down
their lives.
The peeple have quit the shooting business, but
the Radicals still carry on the War.
The din of arms has now teased; the
musketry no longer rattles; yet the
war has not ceased. It still goes on,
and you have platted your cause in the
hands of your mem iters of Congress.
."■Suppose they go over to the enemy,
what punishment should be inflicted?
There is not a man here who would not
condemn them to be tried by a drum
head court-martial and shot.
'•Two years ago when S was a candidate for Gov
ernor." Geary is safe.
Think of the consequences of their
acts. Shall the people continue to
mourn forever? Shall the great repub
lican party be disintegrated, wheneve
any recreant choses to go off? 1 feel
that the people are ready and willing
to punish traitors, and in the language
of theaich-traUor him wlf, "makethem
take back scats." Two years ago,
when 1 was a candidate for Governor,
people wanted to know if John W.
Geary was safe. Will he go over to the
enemy,? was the question. I told you
then that the Allegheny mountains
would fly from their base before that
would happen.
The humble Geary wdc California a free state;
he was "in the Democracy" as a spy and a trai
tor. The Democracy murderers.
1 fought against the bad principles of
the Democracy twenty years ago, on
ly in a different form. In California
in 1819, if the truth was told, your
humble servant was the principal in
strument in causing the State to be a
free State; although I was in the De
mocracy, 1 was lighting against the De
mocracy—those who profess to be Dem
ocrats but have not the lirst principle
of Democracy [Applause]. They
were called Fire-eaters then. In Kan
sas they were called Border Ruffians.
There are men in this room who can
tell you that what I say is true, when
1 call them murderers.
He fought them as rebels (at Sniekersville) and
now they are the fearful Ku Klux who are to
assassinate "the good men," such as Butler,
Bingham, Stevens, and last but not least, Geary !
We next fought them as rebels, and
now we find them under the name of
Ku Klux Klans. [Applause and
laughter, j It is all the same; an asso
ciation to destroy the liberties of the
country and assassinate the good men.
I am astonished when I think how
reasonable men, who can read and
write, continue in such company as
that. I cannot understand how any
sensible man can remain in the De
mocracy when he knows the fact to be
true. It seems to be a determination
to stick to the name—the name of a
party that has given us good Presi
dents, but which has no longer any
principle about it. I really believe
that if they got control of the Govern
ment they would not know what to do
with it.
If that speech doesn't carry Pennsyl
vania for Grant and Colfax, we would
like to know what will ?

WHAT IMPEACHMENT HAS COST.—
The cost of the impeachment trial of
the President of the United States is
estimated at four hundred thousand
dollars. The probability is it will ex

Some witnesses cost five thousand dol

for printing the tickets of admission
amounts to six thousand dollars.—

Sceues during the vote n Impeachment:
Interview with Senator Fowler:
Sprajfiie-s Obstinacy: Van Winkle's
itchiness: Feminine Impeachers.Ac.
WASHINGTON, May 10,1868.
EDITOR GAZETTE : —You remind me
I of a promise to give you an account of
the Impeachment scenes in Washing-1
ton, if present. I arrived at the depot
from Baltimore this morning, at 8.30.
On my walk to Whitney's, 1 met sev
eral acquaintances to whom 1 put the
; interrogatory, in tnru, "How about
Impeachment?" and from the radical I
| received the answer "gone up," "sold
out," or some other expression indiea
i live of deep disappointment. From
1 the Democrat came the cheering as
| suranee of "all right," "the President
i will be acquitted." At breakfast, 1
met Senator Fowler, who asked me a
bout the state of feeling in the eoun-j
try. I told him the people were very !
calm. lie said they were represented j
in Washington to be in a furious state;
of mind, ready to break out in open
revolt. I stated that f had seen no ex
cited people in Pennsylvania, except a
few office-seekers. He expressed great;
gratification to hear it. I remarked j
that the indignation meetings reported I
; by telegraph, were evidently gotten up'
by order from Washington, and that!
j many of them were never held at all.
After parting from the Senator and se-!
curing my tickets, I joined some friends
who were loitering in the capital
grounds, in pursuit of further infor
mal ion. It is reputed that Stevens
has given up all hope of conviction. :
. This morning some one went to him;
with the assurance that Willey, of!
West Ya., was all right. "O, well" j
said Stevens, with that well-known
I curl of the lip, "they'll get Ross or
! somebody else." The friends of the
President are still full of confidence,
I but new hope, since early morning,
has sprung up among the impeaehers.
| Some impudent, superserviceable fel
low had gone around among the doubt
(• ful Senators, last night, with a slate,
asking them to put down the articles
they could vote for. They claimed
that lloss was down for- article XI, at
i midnight, and that his vote ensures
conviction. But there are later advi
sees. And the possessors of them are
by no means communicative.
The morning is warm and bright;
"loud, laughing, full of eyes ar.d ears."
! The green of the grass and of the trees,
contrasts beautifully with the pure
white marble of the capital. The
j grounds as early as 10o'clock, were fill
-1 ed with women and children, hut there
is no noise, no mirth. All seem deep
| ly impressed with the importance of
! the events about to take place. Crowds
of people are moving along the avenue
towards the capital. The street ears
i are emptied every ten minutes at the
| capital gate; and carriages filled with
, elegantly dressed ladies are putting
; down their lovely burthens at the east
' front. We present our tickets at the
I north entrance, and pass in through a
file of police men. The tickets are
; vised at the gallery stairs, and again at
the gallery door. At eleven o'clock
1 every inch of space in the galleries is
; occupied, the ladies largely predomina
ting. Few persons are on the floor,
! except the pages and other employees.
Soon the Senators come dropping in.
Mr. Buckalew is at his desk, engaged
with his correspondence, from which
he now and then looks up to exchange
a word with Van Winkle. Fessenden
is similarly occupied. Dixon and An
thony seem to be in earnest conversa
tion, at the seat of the latter, which
creates alarm among the radicals, who
watch them closely. Their talk may
have innocent connection with an ex
-1 cursion down the riv< r to-morrow, but
: it is put down to the absorbing topic.
| Anthony has been claimed, all the
! while, for the President. But Sum
ner assures the impeaehers this morn
ing that he will "stick." George
Wilkes says Anthony does not come
up to the standard laid down for Ctes
ar's wife. Sprague is a weak, frivolous
man, with no fixed opinions on any
subject. The legislature of Rhode
Island is already elected, and Spnague
does not own-that "farm" so securely
as to run any risk of defeat. Besides,
lie takes a perverse delight in running
counter to the views of his wise father
in-law, Mr. Chase, and of his beauti
ful and accomplished wife. Burnside
would never have sent that telegram,
urging conviction, had he not correctly
interpreted the wishes of his superior.
Of the siek Senators, Morton and
Conkling have just come in, and Mr.
Trumbull has gone over to the latter
to congratulate him on his recovery.
Much anxiety is expressed about How
ard and Grimes. Some late comer has
just told us that Howard has been
brought in on a stretcher, and is re
ceiving his friends in one of the com
mittee rooms below. There is no word
of Grimes. At 11.30, A. M., Mr. Wade
calls the Senate to order, and there is. a
quite perceptible quaver in the hoarse
baritone of his voice. The groups of
talkers on the tloor, break up, and
members take their seats. The busy
hum of conversation in the galleries is
hushed. Of the President's counsel,
Messrs. Stanbery, Evarts, Groesbeck
and Nelson are at their table. After a
brief prayer by the chaplain, the mo
tion of Edmunds to take the vote on
Article XI first, was carried, nineteen
Senators voting in the negative, ex
clusive of Mr. Grimes. This result
fills the impeaehers with alarm. If it
be a test vote, all is up with them. At
precisely 12 m., the Chief Justice called
the Senate to order, after a brief, whis
pered conference with Mr. Counsellor
Groesbeck. He impressively warned
the audience in the gallery against any
violation of the rules of the Senate.
At this moment, the Radicals of the
House came trooping in in formidable
numbers, with speaker Colfax at their
head. To the great relief of the friends
of the President, Senator Grimes has
just arrived, and lias taken his seat on
the Democratic side of the chamber.'
The first Senator on the roll was Hen
ry B. Anthony, to whom the Chief
Justice: "Mr. Senator Anthony, is the
rc s l''"Ment, Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United States, guilty or not
guilty of a high misdemeanor, as
charged in this article?" "Guilty,"
was the response, and there was a mo
mentary stir among the radicals indica
tive of satisfaction and relief. The call
of the roll proceeded and was checked
off on a hundred lists of yeas and nays,
without anything worthy of note, un
til it reached General Cameron, who
created considerable amusement by j
squeaking out "guilty," before the
Chief Justice had finished the question.
He had to repeat his vote at the close,
which he did with great alacrity. The
next name about which great interest
concentrated, was that of Senator Fow-.
ler. The radicals caressed and threat
ened him by turns; delegations from j
Tennessee had waited on him. The
vengeance of Hrownlow and all the |
loyal leaguers was denounced on him, 1
in case he voted for acquittal. lie
arose and voted in so low a tone that ;
the whisper went likelightningthrough ;
the galleries, that he was for con vie-j
tion, the first word of his response not j
having been heard. The Chief Justice
asked him to repeat it, when he said
distinctly, "not guilty." There was
much anxiety among outsiders in re
gard to Frelinghuysen, but lie had
made a mark the night before opposite
the 11th article, and the knowing ones
on both sides put him down for con
viction. I lis vote did not deceive them,
though it did disappoint the moderate
men of New Jersey, who had expected
better things of him. Great anxiety
was felt when it came the turn of .Sen
ator Ross, of Kansas. The radicals
had kept long and painful vigils with
him, and had made such a pressure on
| him that it was believed lie dare not
vote for acquittal. A lady sitting near
me with the yeas and nays in her hand,
marking the votes, said, "if Ross votes
right we are safe." When the words,
"not guilty," fell from his lips, the
pencil dropped from her hand, and
she sank back in despair. Blank dis
may was painted on the faces of the
radicals on the floor. Boutwell was
; looking up for that "hole in the sky,"
! and Butler looked as if he could have
; crawled into a very small bottle.
| There was hurrying to and fro, and
j whisperings of distress, and cheeks all
pale which, not an hour ago, were
flushed with assurance of conviction.
Senator Trumbull, in response to the
interrogatory, replied simply "not," in
a tone which reached every part of t lie
j chamber. Eighteen votes were al
ready recorded for acquittal. One
more is needed. The fate of the Presi
dent hangs upon the lips of the two
West Virginia Senators. The most in
tense excitement prevails. It is mani
fested in the deep stillness that per
vades the chamber. There is not a
whisper, not even the rustle of a silk
;cn garment. The doors of the gallery
! are closed to exclude the noisy clamor
! of many feet on the marble floor with-
I out. He must be stolid, indeed, who
docs not participate in the deep anxie
ty which occupies so many hearts. At
the name of Van Winkle, that Senator
placing his hands on the arms of his
chair, arose in his place, the eyes of a
thousand people fixed upon him.
While the Chief Justice slowly and
solemnly puts the question, the specta
tors have time to scan the looks and
make-up of the man, on whose utter
ance depend such momentous inter
ests. If he fail the President, then
there is no hope but in iiis colleague,
and apprehensions are felt con
cerning him. Senator Van Winkle is
a heavy, corpulent man, about 5 ft.
It inches in height. He is extremely
bald, and his scalp glistens. There is
no whiskers to relieve the roundness
of his big face. He looks like a pleas
j ant, good-natured man, but shrewd
I withal. He hears among his fellow
Senators a high reputation for probity
and honor. The crowds in the galler
ies lean forward as if to interpret in
his features, the answer, or to catch the
first syllable that falls from his lips.
Even the pages on the floor have
caught the pervading excitement, and
stand eagerly gazing at him. He votes
"not guilty," in a tone that is heard
by all, and the President is acquitted.
The shameful vote of Wade for con
viction, and of Willey, Wilson and
Yates the same way, follow, and the
Chief Justice announces the vote, 35
for conviction, 19 for acquittal. The
High Court adjourns till the 2Gth inst.,
and the iin poachers adjourn with their
backers, bullies and bottle-holders,
with Til ton, George Wilkes and Hor
ace Greely, to meet at Chicago to nom
inate Grant and , and to read out
of the party the honest men who have
hitherto given it character, and pre
venter it from sinking. The crowd
escapes from the galleries to give ex
pression to their pent up emotions.
Out in the pure air of heaven, on the!
steps of the capital, the foiled radicals j
have opportunity to give vent to their
wrath in fierce imprecations on the
heads of those whom they choose to
call their betrayers. The faces of beau
tiful women even are seen to be dis
torted with anger, as they come out of |
the eapitol. Over at Whitney's and
the surrounding restaurants, many are
seeking to deaden the keenness of
their grief in deep potations. At the
former place, Elder Peck is holding
forth to a crowd of radicals on the
treachery of Fessenden, but is soon
brought to a "rest." ' The democrats
and conservatives are enthusiastic in
their demonstrations of joy, and great
numbers have gone to the White House ;
to tender their congratulations to the
President.
A thousand calumnies are already I
afloat about the seven Republican
Senators. They are too infamous for
repetition. One, put in circulation by
the N. Y. Tribune is, that the son of
Mr. Trumbull has bet $5,000 on the re
sult, when the truth is, he is but a lad, 1
more occupied with his school books
and play, than impeachment. The
other stories arc worthy of equal credit.
At 7P. M., I left for Baltimore. On
the train were Logan, Sickles, Norman
B. Judd, Gen. Shank, and many oth
ers, on the way to Chicago. They look
ed as melancholy as if they were going
to a funeral.

COMUVN ROAST.
History records to the immortal hon
or of our organization, that it saved a
nation and emancipated a race. We
struck the fetters from the limb of the
slave and lifted millions into the glori
ous sunlight of liberty. We placed the
emancipated slave on his feet a-a man,
and putin his right hand the ballot to
protect his manhood and his rights.
Colfax's speech.
The Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives, in his address on the occa
sion of his nomination to the Vice
Presidency, proclaims, among other
glories of his party, that of emancipa
ting the negro. The morality of an
action depends upon the motive, the
means, and other circumstances. If
1 1 give alms to a beggar, in order to ob
tain applause, the act, indeed, is good,
but the motive entirely vitiates it. I
can have no reward before God or man.
So, suppose that the Woolly or Black
Republican Party performed a good
action, by the emancipation of the
slave, they entirely destroyed the mer
it of the action by their manifest mo
tives and by all the circumstances con
nected with the act. Their object in
manumitting the slave, was not his
amelioration, but to get his vote, to
keep their party in power, which they
thought they could not do without the
slave vote. What credit, then, lias
Colfax or his party ? None whatever.
The good deed was utterly nullified by
the had motive.
The circumstances, also, may vitiate
| a good action. The Colfax party threw
out upon a civilized and christian
community, four millions of uneivil-
I ized and unchristian Blacks, to cor
i rupt otir children, to lower, debase and
I demoralize the white population, the
j owners of the soil, the descendants of
white men, who conquered this coun
; try for the white man. The negroes
| are only an accident here.
The Woolly, Black Republican Par
ty exalt the Negroes, and depress, dis
! franchise their own "vvhitg race."
j Their motive cannot be pure. It is an
j "ill bird that fouls its own nest."
! These white "black Republicans" have
"fouled their own nest." Colfax, there
fore, in boasting about the emancipa
ted negro, can obtain no laurels for his
party. The motives of the party en
tirely corrupt the act of negro emanci
pation.
The glorious Democratic Party are
for the emancipation of the white hu
man race. Its motives are pure, not
for party purposes, but for whatever is
best and most expedient and useful for
the entire human race. Away, then,
with the false pretences of Colfax and
His Black, Woolly, Jacobin party.
They have no honor, no credit, no
glory, from the emancipation of the
Negro, which they accomplished from
base, corrupt, party purposes, but •
I which the Democratic Party, sooner or
I later, would have achieved from the
highest, holiest, purest motives, at the
befitting time, and at the season most
beneficial to the colored race and the
world. B.
THE DIFFERENCE.—ONE of the chief
points of difference between civilized
and barbarous mankind, is the atten
tion given to the natural covering for
the head ; the one being carefully cut,
cleansed and brushed, and the other al
lowed to remain dirty and unkempt.
The use of "Barrett's Vegetable Hair
Restorative" will ensure all that could
be desired by civilization or ignored
by barbarism. — Jioston Post.
