2 THE NEW YORK TBESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS. Cl MriLKD KVKBT DAY FOR KVF.MNO TKLKOUAPU. Srrrctnrr Drward-Tlic Aiitt-nlt Ill of political l.lfc lit America. J-rom the Ttmt. On Saturday Inst Hon. Mr. ScoflcM. of the House of Representatives, made a speech which ought to give him rnnk amoi.g that cIhsj of our ;onfjrcs9lonat orator whose utterances demon strate their possesion of a hlsh statesmanlike ability, a calm philosophic intellect, and a fine appreciation of thorn- personal amenities which soften the asperities of polities and are indica tive of a lofty nature. After heautilully sur veying the political fluid and the country's prospects, in gross and in detail after fearlessly administering a blow to the celebrated but friendlr-sH Southern Confederacy after a short but withering iilanue at President Johnson ft Iwldly levelled his intellect at "one and protected himself aided by 1J in an, Ttoad. Mevens in the tollowiuc style: "A perfidious Socre'arv ono olJ man chareod ly litw with lioo arnie- tlio aJoption ot tno Constitu tional amendment, souirht io preserve the debris ol the toulederacv. tie now stands in the way- Ho Is plotting- now a theory ot estoppel.

Tho Secretary proposes to io c:ae with hnn'Oll om other o d man, who htippons 10 hold the ha anoe ot power on a benoh 01 nine iudites charpod with the decision of questions of Jaw.

'That,' said the nobleman, 'is tho host dog in tho pacx; hen lama and blind, do if aud old. Dut Ht ill tho most -valuable animal I havo.' 'Kor what?' said the tra vel er. 'His educa'ion was jtood and his sonso of smell it still period, and we tane him out to put i he puppies on the track and then return him." 1 jtnow, Mr. t-pcaker, that li is hardy digniliod to compare the c-ocrotary of Mate to that old pointer, and 1 will tul you why I am not gointr to make the comparison. Said tho nobleman, '1 havo ownod lliat dog til loon years, and hard as he iooks, ho sever bit tho band t.iat tod him or barked upon a jalse tiail.' " (Lnuuhtcr and applauso.) '1 ho Speaker nammorod with bis mallet to rotoro order. Sir. Scofleid, mistaking tho objeot of the Speaker, inquired whether his time was outf No, suggested btevons in a low tone of voico, ho is only calling jon to order for axiirg injustice to the dog. 'jheiemart was laughed at by those near enough to catch it. The "one old man" here referred to hat been prominent as an American statesman for over thirty years. Darin? that time he has for two successive terms been Governor of the Stale of Jvew York: he has for two siiece.'slve terais (or twelve yenrsi been a Senator of the United Mutes; lie has tor two sue'esdvc Administra tions occupied the position of Secretary of Ktate. He bee.au his public liKi as the advocate and upholder of those principles of universal treedo:n which he has lived to see triumphant in his native laud. For over a quarter of a century he was the champion of the slave, and in every position he held. State and national, was the foremost iu projecting, and the most eloquent in urging measures lor his liberation. As Ciovernor of tnis o;reat State, his administra tion is memorable for the controversy with the Tixccutivc of Virginia in relation to slavery and the rendition ot fugitives, and no less memorable Jjy the fact that then every vestige of slavery was cleared irora, our statute-books. As Senator of the United States, his career will forever be honorably dintingaished in Ame rican history. Iu the great controversies of that time troni those which opened with President Taylor's Administration to those w hie li closed with President liueliatian's from the admission of California into the Union to the secession of SSouth Carolina Irom the Union, Mr. Seward was recognized us tho faitluul, wise, and brave leader of the party of "Freedom and Union." As Secretary of State, and as the most trusted counsellor of Mr. Lincoln during the baeriticial times of the war. Mr. Seward was unfliuchiugly Arm to the convic tions he had so long defeuded, aud lie achieved the crowning triumph ot his liTe in countersigning the Emancipation Proclamation which he had urged Presideut Lincoln to issue. His record as an advocate of freedom and lumiHU ripht.-, of the emancipation ot the South ern slave aud the liberation of the Northern mind, has been unwavering and decisive from jired to lust from trie time when he stoyd nl most alone, iu this respect, as a statesman, to the h'lur in which his old enemies, incontinently rallying under his standard, attempted to wrest it from his grasp. In this view the services and labors of no other American statesman can com pare with his. Under all circumstances true, against all op position firm, unterridei by the menaces of his pro-slavery adversaries, unmoved by the se iue lions of power, unshaken by the storms of war, courageous in the darkest hours, and h ipetul wheu eveu a nation whs in despair, lie has stood the type not only ofl the philo-tophic statesman aud the cousumate diplomas!, but of the loftiest order ot American patriots. In view of the personal character, if not the public services, of the venerable statesman, it Is as disgraceful tha'. he was assailed in Con gress iu the stylo of last Saturday, as that he hhould have been the victim of Payue's dagger. Finance and Currency. from the Iribune. As to the prospective action of Congress on finance and currrn:y, our guess may prove quite erroneous; but it is our impression that the sum total of the doings of this session will be just about nothing at all. We judge that there is a majority in the House who would be gratified if further inflation and debasement could be covered by any decent pretext; we trust that there is no majority in either House ready to venture upon it without a pretext. !The Senate, we hope, would not vote to inflate whether with or without a pretext, but it has Dot yet broken ground for prompt resumption: and does not allow us to forget that it originated the provision ot hut sesv.ou whereby the Secre tary ot the Treasury was torbldden to make good the Government's greenback promises to pay. XJntil further developments, we shall presume tnat tho proximity ot the 4th of March aud the urgency ot oihcr business will preclude deci sive action on the currency at this session. Meantime, Secretary McCulioch will go ou with Ills regular wuutuawai huh uuwuuu ui greenbacks at the rate of $4,000,(100 per month. This is not much, but it is better than notaiug. Ab to the various projects which look to the wholesale withdrawal of tho notes of our Na tional banks and their replacement by green liacks, we regard (hem all4with complacency, if aiot with positive lavor; but we insist that resumption shall be the first step. Let us have no more systematic national falsehood. When our greenbacks were first authorized and Issued, it was with a distinct understanding that they should be convertible into interest-bearing, bonds at the option of the holder, and that they should be redeemed in coin at the easliest possi ble day. They were issued as a srlganttc forced loan, in atlsiaction ot our imperilled Union's ureent. imperious needs. The exoedlent scarcely differed little in prin ciple fiom, but was an improvement upon, that debasement of the coinage so familiar to the .rWrmtle rulers of the middle ages. Its iustid cation is found in the national peril wherein it originated, and which it powerfully aided to overcome. But though a weary army may be inarched five tollei further on the stimulus ot a etll of wbttky per man, it by no means follows i ) its erliclencT wosld be increased by keeo- iir It drunk evermore. It is high time that wc began to toper off; lor, though getting kukt i a less delieious experience than that of cc'Mng di link, it is decidedly more wholesome, and the lap-e of ti tn e renders it indispcnsaMe. When the greenbacks were first l isuo 1, they were tncitl.v regarded as promises to pay so soon as we could so soon, at lea-l, a-i th! strei of wnr should have passed away. Now that wo have peace, and are paying off national debt riitlier than incurring it, let us resume pay. nient: at nil events let us not multiply fa'se hoods w hich have not even the doubtful merit of deceiving. Only let the treasury remmc p iv nient in coin, and then, if there bo an equitable niooe ot replnciiig our bank not ' currency by greenbacks, we have not tbe least objection! Strategical Movrmenta on the Impearh iii il Uncut lou Tlie liiui ana tlio Settlement. I rom the Herald. A few weeks ago the impression generally prevailed that the impeachment agitation was all moonshine. Next, w hen it bc?;an to assume tho character of a fixed design, it was de nounced as despotic and revolutionary by ths astonished Southern Iiebel press and their allies, the Copperhead organs and orators of the North, and as certain to involve the country iu another rebellion. In the next place, with the exposure of the lolly and fallacy of all such ridiculous threateuings against a plain consti tution proceeding on the part of Congress, wo are happy t announce some tigns of a recog nition of the neressiiies of the situation in the quarter most immediately interested. The sinus to which we reier are embodied in cer tain private advices we have just received from Washington, which include the following state ments as emanating Irom a Tilgh authority. The .impeachment nuvementj will not be pushed during toe present session. The Judi ciary Committee ot the ITnise will probably be occupied till March in examining witnesses, collecting evidence, and making up a case. Meantime, as we arc iutormed. President John sou is expected to broach a compromise with Congress on the (Jreeley platform ot a general amnesty to Southern Rebels, State by Slate, for impartial tutlrace, whites, mulattoes, negroes, and all. This plan proposes to let each State concerned act lor itself, and when it shall have voluntarily granted impartial suffrage, to admit its representatives into Congress, chosen upon this basis, and then, with certain exceptions, to grant to the Kebelsol the State thus reinstated a general pardon. We understand that Cnief Justice Chase is inclined to favor this proposi tion, together with some leading members of Congress, and that fJree.ey, like llaikis, is also willing. Leading Southern men are ti be con sulted, and Bome confidence is expressed iu the success of tho scheme. This may, perhaps, account for the milk in fireeley's cocoanut. fclver since bis famous first Hull Run escapade he has been the most easily frightened man iu the country. His budget of blunders iu consequence has been trui.v deplorable, from his proposition to pay the Rebels four huudrcd millions of OoPan for their necioes, down to his last blundering manifesto lor a univer.-al amnesty, negro sut lrage or no negro sutlrage. Of coure he is : frightened out ot his wits at this impeachment movement, Irom the tenible thivateuinus of . the Copperheads. But he blunders woisetban ever in regard to the course of the llnra'd. He will have it that it was the Herald that ; led poor Pierce and the Democracy to their . destruction on tb.it fatal Kansas-Nebraska bill; , and he fears that, iu this "malicious mockery" of the IkTald on this impeachment remedy, wc are now leading the Republicans ou the road ' to ruin. Lei. us assure our frightened philoso pher that there is no danger in this remedy of ! impeachment, none whatever; and that in our i discussions ot the subject we arc looking only : at the geuerai interests ot the country, auu lor thp shortest, simplest, and most available , programme lor a decisive settlement with tae ' South. Does this new departure suggested in behalf . ol the Presideut meet the necessities of the ' cae? As we understand it it involves the cast- : inu out of the pending Constitutional amend- nient and the renduii-aion into Congre.-s of tho Rebel states, under fieir concession of negro siitlrage, lust as thPv are. Under this plan, within a twelvemonth Mason ana SUdeil amy be , buck again In the Senate, and most of the old secession Sot thern delegations ot 18tl)-Gl may be back again in tne House, agitating State rights once more, and the unconstitutionality ol the war for the Union, and all its debts and 1 obligations. Is it not wiser, first of all, to dx these obligations in the Constitution beyond the reach of a repudiation party, aud wiser, as the pending amendment proposes, to let each Stale for itself take negro Buffruirc with negro repre sentation, or give up the one lu withholding the other? We think so. At all events, we. want ' some other securities for the luture besides . Creeley's universal panacea of a general Rebel i amnesty aud negro suffrage. hut tlie paramount issue which now demands settlement is the line of demarcation between iue functions ot the Executive aud the powers ot Congress. Under Jackson . the latter.day policy of Executive encroachments noon the exclusive powers of Congress was com meneed, which, from his examples, has been steadily ad vancing, until now we find the Executive not ouly assuming the highest aud most exclusive powers of Coneress, but charging usurpation upon the two Houses in presuming to deny bim thise legislative powers, and in refusing to en dorse his acts done without authority in law. The constitutional liue ot demarcation, there fore, between The law-making and the law-exe-tuting branches ot the Government must now he fixed and settled. So clearly, too. is this line drawn in the Constitution, that Congress has only to assume and exercise its rightful autho rity iu order to settle the question. We guess that the amendment, added to a re construction bill ollered the oilier day in the House, providing for the suspension of the hub- a- corpus and the re-establishment of mar tini law in the Rebel Stales, has this settlement in view. Let this thing be passed into a law over the President's veto, and then in his re fusal, if he shall relnse to execute the law, the la.-t resort of impeachment will admit of no further delay. The prospect is that under this test the Executive will plead a Justltir-Mnn against Congress Irom the Supreme Court, iu which event, under the pressure of this great revolution which is upon us, President Johnson will be removed and the Court reconstructed, to make wy for the will of the sovereign people as represemed in Congress. The Democracy and the Impeachment. ! f'ie World. Mi. Greeley, who bus recently spent several days in Washington, briefly sunib up the result of his observations, in an editorial iu Monday's Inbune. On the subject of impeachment be makes this t-tatement: ''The idea ot impeach ing and removing President Johnson baa moro strength in the House than we had supposed, and seems to be gaining supporters. However, it U not likely to be definitely acted on at the present session." Tills couninis toe impression we uuu irannu from our own sources of iniormation. The enemies of the Presideat are keenly in earnest. Soon after the 4th of March they will vigorously press the impeachment. Mr. Greeley thinks the movement intemperate aud fraught with probable rulu to the party; butsiuce his famous Niagara mission, the party has been accustomed to pay little respect to his judgment. The im peachment will proceed iu spite of him, aud before the trial is concluded we shall doubtless see bim whipped into the traces by the coercive power of party discipline. In so great a conjuncture as a groundless attempt to depose the President, what will be tho course of the Democratic party T It is quite impossible that this Question bhould receive a circumstantial answer in advance. Whether the Democracy will resist by force, or by peace ful opposition, cannot be decided until it is seen to what precise pitch of headlong extrrvagance the Republican party will go; but that we shall leaiat, and attempt to make our resistance ettectual, mav be counted on ascertain. It the Re publican party resort to violence, their violence will probably be retorted; but turbulence and bloodshed arc, on nil accounts, to be deprecat'vl, and should tie reserved a a lust appliance when nil oi her remedies have tailed. The riqtit of the people to resist usurpation and tyranny by arms is plainly written in the Constitution, in the declaration that "the right of the people to bear Brm shall not bj infringed." Put this is a right to be used only in the extremity of otherwise remediless oppression. We are quite of Mr. Creeley's opinion that Im peachment will recoil against the It-publican party, and open for it "a short road from a nia loiity to a minortty." Assuming this opinion to be correct, there will be no necessity tor violent icdrcpp. The imreachnient wi'l rouse nnd neitate the country; but where the ba dot-boxes arc open and elections free, an in cinsed people seldom need have recourse to arms. Outrages flagmnt enough to stir ud po pular passions to armed resist am e, can be used to much better effect in strengthening and animating political opposition. To retain Mr. Johnson in oflice by force would be a tar less signal triumph for the Democracy than to re store him to oflice by a regular election. If he is deposed next spring or summer, there must be an immediate Presidential election to fill the vacancy, and tho Republicans would leave their opponents no choice iu the selection of a cau date. It would be due to justice that Mr. Johnson's character should bo vindicated against unjust aspersions, and no vindication would be so triumphant, or would give him such standing in the eyes of Europo and of posterity, as a resloration to oflice by the free nuflragcs of an honest and outraged people. The instinctive love of lair play which runs in tho Saxon blood easily makes a hero of the victim of malignant persecution, without much regard to his per sonal qualities. The English people have little respect for tiie character of John Wilkep, but when they saw him wronged and the English Constitution violated in his person, they bore him back in triumph to the Parliament from which he bad bet n ejected. The radical may unwittingly render Andrew John-on a similar service. Mr. Johnson, if impeached, will not be trie4 by a secret Star Chamber, but by the Senate in open sessions. The public are just as compe tent to judge of the evidence as the Senate itself. And they mil judge. The evidence will be discussed in every independent journal iu Europe and America, and the conscience of iair minded men will make a just decision, whatever may be the verdict of the Senate. Uy putting the President on his trial, the Republi cans will subordinate political considerations to the question of personal guilt; and the con science of the country will be shocked and out raged it ne is condemned as a criminal on ac count ot his honest political views views which, it will be shown on tho trial, he Bhares with his immediate piedccessor in oflice, and with ull our most eminent jurists and statesmen. It will not Bufuce lor tho prosecutors to confute Mr, Johnson's political opiuious; they must esta blish his personal guilt. Whttncr his opinions are right or wrong is really nothing to the purpose. Ju any fair judgment, these will bo laid quite out of the case, and nothing be considered but whether tie i'residetit has been guilty of "treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors." It is not the policy of the oflicer, but only the guilt of the man which can form any just gronndof impeachment, and it he is condemned for his policy without any evidence of crime (as he will be. if condemned at all), the coun try will sit in review on the proceedings of tho Senate and reverse its judgment. 11 the Senate give Mr. Johnson a fair hearing, through such counsel as he niay select, the Democracy would make a fatal mistake if they should attempt to interfere with the proceed ings, or to resist the sentence, instead of await ing the veidict of the country on the result. The Republicans are apparently about to com mit a stupendous blunder. Instead of inter posing between them and political suicide, it is the business of the Democracy to take advan tage of tbeir lolly, wheu they have gone too far to retreat.
