Ol moll approval in tbe j. resent temper ol parties 1 can perhaps have no reasonable expectation. All uibtory proves that men who In official position oppi se for any reason toe cherished schemes devised by factious to acquire power, usually hud wore determined assullants than Open and earnest delenJeis.

Compelled to uevote my entire tiwe to the Issues that have been forced upon me, and to contend agulnsl a majority represented by two-thirds of eaou 11 mse Of Congress, I have been unable, while striving to protect and malniain the liberties Of tue jeupie, to check extravagant expendl lires lor objects not contemplated by the Con stitution, tiud lo lighten tbe burdensol taxation vrnleh now reslso oppressively uoon the nation. In the wldbtof lhe.se embairassmeuts I have not bten discouruged, when, from the puolic prints or irom some unusually (rank aud out spoken friend, 1 have heard that "I have no parly." The suggest lou has only served to re mind me of a memorable r, mark, in erod when faction ruled high in Koine, mat "Omar had a purty, and Pompey and Crassus each nad a party, but that the Commonwealth had none." Aiming cnly.astherepre-eulallveof the people, to stand by the rights cf the Common wealth, may 1 not pertinently make the application to my own case? constrained. In occupying my position as tbe federal executive, lo abide lu silence wrougs aud encroachments of the most insidious as well as desperate character, or sometimes, when incapable of arresting them permuted only to employ iutile protests, compelled with only tne privilege of remonstrance or tbe ter rible alternative of couuter revolution to resist revolutionary projects; obliged to staud In the aliunde ol a mere spectator, while the valuable i.iu-e of the nation his been wasted in cause less assaults upon myself an 1 office for the bent lit of a party, I cannot complain if the people, while witnessing, have not been able to make my cause thoroughly tbelr own the defense of the constitution and laws tnelr own battle. Until, however, the people's representatives Will lecognize more plainly tue imperative needs of the country by lightening tbe burdens of excesbive and onerous taxation, aud pre venting successive Imposts upon the same arti cle, beginning with its crude stale and follow ing It through the successive stages of manu facture to its final use and cost, the people being I bus made to pay exlortioualely and ruinouHly these accumulated taxes, until the time appropriated in Congress to partisan schemes is devoted more to legis lating for the people's wants, the nation will have to be content with tbe mere delusive bope and promise of better times; since mere patty politics will continued to be considered of greater moment than the study and praotioe of political economy and tbereductlon of larlii's, and the making of a President of moreconse- Suence than the diminution of the natioual in ebledness, and a return to sound currency and specie payments. With tne people, then, must rest the coirecllon of whatever is wrong In tha respects indicated, aud if Ihelr public servant tiud them careless of tnelr resuoast bility, if the people will not do their duly lu seeing that their representatives perform theirs, no executive will ever have power successtully to defend their rights, and few will otre to incur the apology consequent upon the attempt. 1 am now, however, as I have ever oeen. In the hands of the people and at their disposal. My struggle for the Union aud the Integrity of the Government began long ago, ConiCtous of having honestly discharged my duty and satis fied that the coutesl in which X have been com pelled to engage will, in tbe end at least, enure totbebeuehl and Indeed safety of constitu tional liberty aud human rights, I can well afford. I think, to look calmly on the present end await patiently the verdict of the future. W'bllbt I know that the struggle for the rights of the people and for deference to tue Constitu tion is not yet over, yet believing that the late palpable failure lo do violence lo that greut In strument and the executive office, tue worst thai faction can for the present do has been accomplished, I would only, In concluding this brief state ment of my views and feelings, express the bope that in tbe selection by tbe Couvention or a candidate or the Fret-idency, whose duty It Vt U be, if elected, to preserve, protect, and defend tbe Consiliutlou, and to execute the laws made in pursuauoe of its provltlons, the public good and leading and well-defined prin ciples will not besaoriaced tolhe mere purpose ol party ascendancy. An nun w Joumson, Caucuulajr of Delegation!. From tht ff. Y. World of thit morning. Last evening was spent by most of the dele gates In ascertaining bow tbe vole would be to day on candidates. The Fendluton men from different States held a caucus at tbe Fifth Avenue Hotel lo work out their programme of operations lor to day. They are confident of success, aud base Ihelr oonfldenceon ttiecalou ' lation that all Houthrn delegations will, on the 11 fib. ballot, vole solid for Pendleton. With that vote they hope lo receive sufficient to noml JUate him. One of Ihelr plan 1 to have the North refuse to vote on the first hnJlot or two, and then vote for th man vho receives a majority of the votes In tbe Northern Btates. This they ie confident will be Pendleton. They count 114 vo-.s an certain on the first ballot, and believe that thev will Inert ase on every subse quent ballot. This Is their calculation, while tbe best figures among those opposed to Pendle ton do not give hlra as lance a vole as that In the fctart, and are confident that he will not get a majority vote In auy ballot. Some of the frlenusol the other candidates, laboring under tbe belief that Pendleton's friends will not be able to nominate him, but will make the nomination In tbe end, propose to cabt the vote of tbelr delegation on tne start for Pendleton, in hopes, in the end of receiving the entire Pcndle.tou vote for their candidate. This will swell his vole on tne sturt to a higher figure than it ot herwlse would be. Among thosei which may vote in IhH way M California and Nevada, hoping to thus, In the end, benefit Judxe Field, and a portion of Mis souri, who desire to aid lilalr. The Month, as yet. manifests a determination to scatter their vole, until they see who will bo most, nccept ab e in the North. Missouri will not b-ltig for Wfcrd Blair's name until about the third ballot. Pxebable First Ballot. After a careful canvass of tbe different dele gallons, and taking the best dates that can be obtaiued of the sentiment, the following table shows about the probable result ou the llibt ballot: AlahHlTlR Ai knnsas Callloinin Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Mary laud Massachusetts Michigan M innesoin M isblssippi MlKbOuri , Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire., New Jersey New York , North Carolina....

Delaware is given to Pendleton, but in the cal culation ol the friendB nf the latter last night, they did not count Delaware. Those three states are the only changes of any moment from the canvass of Pendleton's friends so lar as Pendleton's vole is concerned. The Htate or Michigan had not decided last night bow they would vote. Tuey are put down above as divided between Hancock and Koverdy Johnson. They are to hold a meeting this morning i.tid decide how the vole shall be cast in the start. There is also some doubt about a portion of Maryland goiug for lieverdy Johnson, and from these points the above table will be lound to be substantially tho result of the Hist ballot, unless a material change is made by tbe caucusslng last night and this morning. Giving to Pendleton the States ot California and Nevada, as they claim, aud taking from them Delaware, the vole on the first ballot, lu accordance with the above table, will only vary one-hall a vote from tbatot the cauvass of the Pendleton men. They put It down at IW4, while those variations in tlie above table make it 117. The vote tor English, Hancock, aud Andrew Jabnson, may vary from the above, tlie Jormer depending uiiou how mauv of 1110 New Kngland men vote for Chase on lae start, and those of Johnson and Hauonck upon the final conclusion of some of the Southern dele gations.

Owing, as was supposed aud which doubtless was the lad, to tbe limited notice given of the atlalr, there were but few in atleudanoe last evening at Riley's, corner of liioadway and Twenty-eighth street, on tne pool selling on the nominations for tbe Presidency at the Conven tion. Only three pools were sold, from which it will be seen that Chase was the favorite. The pools were one for $110 and two for $00 each, as follows: Chase 30 810 $10 Pendleton 20 8 8 Hsncock 10 6 5 Hendricks 6 5 5 Tbe field 45 22 22 The sale of pools will be resumed at tho snme place this evening, aud continue every evening until the Couvention makes Its nomination. r.cylva.Bla aad Packer. Ponusylvanlaus profess themselves strongly in earnest in their presentation of Judie Packer's name for the suffrages of the Conven tion. They held a meeting yesterday, at which a test vole was taken, and although both Pen dleton and Hancock were represented, It was finally resolved to urge Judge Packer's claims as a unit. They argue that wlMnmt Pennsyl vania tbe Democratic nominee cannot hope lo be elected; that while Judge Paoker is certain of carrying that Htate, no other name before tbe Convention is; benoe his claims for conside ration as an expediency candidate. Outside of this delegation, however, Judge Packer's name Is but rarely mentioned, aud it is snaroely likely be will receive much beyond his own btate vote.

The following are the new aud additional articles of Impeachment against Andrew Johnson, prepared by Hon. lhaddens Stevens, of Pennsylvania, and by htm presented to the House of Representatives this alternoon, Whereas, A high court of Impeachment has' lately been in session to try Andrew Johnson, Piesident of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors, fnd has adjourned without completing its judgment; and whereas, it is proper that additional articles should be filed, if tbe House deems it expedient, therefore, Jiesotved, That a committee of be ap pointed to prepare additional articles of Im peachment, and report the same, iu substance as fellows: Additional Articles of Impeachment exhibited 6v the Jiouae uf Jtepreseiilulive. in the name of tiemaetvf unci of all the people of the United Mutes atainst Andrew Johnson, l'revUtcnt of the United States, in mumlenunae and support of their impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors in ojlce. FlHST ADDITIONAL ARTICLE. That the Baid Andrew Johnson, President of the Uuited States, did abuse the patronage of the Govern ment, which, by virtue of his high office, had been entrusted to him, and did pervert It to im proper and selfish purposes, inasmuch as he used it to corrupt the people of the United Btates, and to Induce them to abandon aud renounce the principles which they conscien tiously held, and to adopt others which they did not approve, in order to promote tbe selfish purposes of the said Andrew Johnson. Tbe President of the United Stales came into power and received his office because he professed to hold the principles of the Republican party, and zealously avowed his determination to carry them into effect. When he came Into power, he found the offices of the Government, mcny thousands lu number, filled with men professing the same Republican priuolples, and who had been appointed expressly to carry them Into effeot. When by a fatal acoldeat he become the Chief Executive of tbe nation, be determined lo seek an elootlou for the same office at the next Presidential term. He iorc saw that it would become necessary to renouuoe tbe principles ol the Republican party, and to establish a new personal parly especially de voted to himself, and he did not hesitate to apply to that object the profits of thousands of offices, and millions of revenue. lie set delibe rately about turning faithful officers out of their places, because they would not renounce their principles, and of appointing others to office because they pledged themselves to support him and bis principles. The removals and ap pointments were avowedly made for no cause of merit or demerit, but for the purpose of ad ding recruits lo his new party. Second Additional Article. That the said Andrew Johnson being tbe chief Executive of tbe United Btates, and being assigned by law to the duties to take care that the laws shall be faithfully executed, and having no Judicial or legislative power confided to him by tbe Consti tution, all bis duties being strictly executive, did, on the 20th day of May, 1865, and before and after that time, usurp to himself the powers of another branch of the Government, and did do acts and exercise lunctions which belonged to the legislative branch alone; and in pursuance of tuch claim, having at the time the army and navy of tbe Uuited Btates at nis command, did establish and erect luio a separate gov ernment that portion of tbe United States from the lately so-called Confederate Btates of Amerloa, and wblca was lately embraced within the boundaries of tbo Stale of North Carolina, aud did by bis owu nsurpel authority create a Stale and form of govern ment hitherto unknown to tbe United Stales, and did create an office hitherto unknown to our Constitution, and appointed thereto an officer whom be called Provisional Governor, aud directed him how to coustruotaud oarry out said government. He fixed, and by his own will decreed the qualifications of electors, and who should be eligible to office in the new government, which he by proclamation de clared was deprived of all civil government by tbe armed forces of the Independent belligerents with whom wehad been at war; and beappolnted W, W. Ilolden to the office of Provisional Gov ernor of North Carolina, and directed him Id administer the offices of the iiewly-oreated Btate. On the 13th of June, 1865, he usurped the same powers, and without any direction from Cou gress, to whom alone it belonged, erected Into an independent State that part of conquered territory formerly known as tbe Btate of Missis sippi, and appointed William L. Sharkey, Pro visional Governor thereof. And on tbe 17th of June, 1805, he In like manner ereoted a portion of said territory Into what be called the State of Georgia, and appointed Jamea Johnson Provi sional Governor thereof. On or about the 17th, 21st, and 30th of June, and the 13th of July, he In like manner created UoverumeuU which bo Called tbe States cf Texas, South Carotins, and Florida. And when afterwards Congress de clared such Governments and ocnvtllutloni null and void, and prescribed other methods of governing said territory; and to enable It to enter the Union by the consent of Congress, the President declared such laws null and void, and advised the people to resist their execution; and be bas never aided in carrying into effect, but has resisted what are called the "Reconstruction laws." Tiiikd Additional Articlic. For that An drew Johnson, President of tbe United Slates, by bis corrupt practices, did attempt to lnduoe the Senators elect from the Stale of Colorado to perjure themselves upon tho condition of his siguing the bill admitting Colorado Into the Union as a Slate, and thereby admitting them as Senators of tbe Uuited States. He did also pardon and restore the right o franchise to 193 deserters, who during the war d- seited from the United States array, upon condition that they would vote for the Demo cratic parly at the theu immediately ensuing election; aud they did thus vote, and gave to the Democratic agent, Hon. Tuuuus Ii. Flor ence, tbe sum of S1000 lu cash. He appointed numerous persons to olllcd who could not take tbe test oath, aud did not lake it. but were allowed to act aud discuaro the functions thereof in defiance of law. He ordered agricultural scrip to be Issued to the State of North Carollua, which scrip was issued under the act of 1802, when North Giro Una was lu armed warfare agalust the Union. He restored, without authority of law, large tracts of forfeited property; ouough, it is be" Ueved, to pay the national debt, which had been forfeited under act of Congress, approved July 17, 1802. By teasou of all which outrages this government became impoverished, tbe people embarrassed, the Rebel raiders allowed to flourish, aud the Constitution flagrantly violated. He sold pirdons for money, or allowed it to be done by pardon-brokers. Fourth Adiutional Ahtici.k. He did take from the Treasury of the Uuited States large tracts of laud and large amounts of money, sufficient, it is believed, to have paid our national dtbts, and which had been transferred to the United Btates by act of July 17, 1SG2, as enemies' property, m be applied to the expenses of the war and the debts of the Uuited States. This was corruptly and unlawfully dono with out any authority of Congress. Fifth Additional Auticle. Ha dtd usurp the powers of other branches of the Govern ment and exercise the legislative power in defi ance of the Constitution, lu creating or attempt ing to create new Governments out ot the ter ritory conquered from the ''Confederate States ol America," Bo-called, and to govern them by his own mere power, by form unknown to tbe Constitution, without consulting Congress, but defying their authority when they had spoken, aud denying the constitutionality of tho laws of Congress enacted to goveru said conquered territory.

The report continued at considerable leugth to recite these abuses, and in conclusion de clares that the privilege and trust of suilVage belongs exclusively to tbe control of eaoh Slate, and that Congress has usurped it In vio lation of the Constitution. Specifically de nounce he reconstruction acts as usurpations, unconstitutional and void. The soldiers and sailors' pensions are to be faithfully paid .
