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

Ttoad.
Mevens in the tollowiuc style:

'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.
