philosophical sort touching the late . Re

I assisted some twelve or dal-teen years

extent that its sudden death threw s ne

by indignation. 1 passed from lamenta

an indignation meeting to doer) grief.

But the seeds sf weakness and disease
were planted in its birth. We began a
party of reform, of agitation, of aggres
sion, sod we took into our embracee the
old whig patty, that was a party of oon•
servat?see, aggravated by great dignity
nod timidity The resin 'has been in

_ lump, Ind we have been afflicted with
choltc, so to !peal, that well nigh de
stroyed our nsefulnese Our actions, to
consequence, have been contradictory
While at one time we create a John
Brown, and glory in John Brown all our
greatest and Vest beloved, organized
huge armies', fought out ..big wars and
liberated a race, on the other, band we
have been busy smoothing our ware

The last infernal convulsion exhibited
with great clearness the different ele
ments. On the oneraide we had Butler,
Stevens, litnghare, Logan, Sumner and
Orifice ; on the other stool, in calm re
pose, Feecenden and Trumbull, while
between floated another element, born of
the revolutionary timea, that had its
marketable value, and fluctuated as
either party -bid.
Now, I am prepared to admit that
11 Fessenden and Trumbull were
actuated^br the highest and moat honor
btle mouses. Ido eel believe they could
be bought with money or swayed by prej
udice. They felt that they were jurors.
under oath, answerable to their God for
the •ertlict they randertd. Nor do I
blame therefor responding as they did
` to the sole,n question asked them by
the chief Justice. I believe that the
thirty-five voting "guilty" were honora
ble, hottest men. But in political life a
blunder is worse than a crime,and Metiers.
F den and Trumbull blundered in
belonging to the republican organization
at all.' 1 hey should have gone over to
the party of Stanberry and Groesbeck,
where the oid Whig dignity is preserved
Intact, led where copservatiam is SO in

red to a new•right, and where official po
sition is so glorified that a halo is thrown
around aa itiebriatid mule, that an all
wise Provideuce, through some iuscrute
ble reason, has set on end and made our
President
Wheo impeactiosant was first broached
the evidence was as well known an it was
at the end of the trial. At the beginning
Muir, ressenden and Trumbull sfiould
have made their f ght, trailing to defeat
it they should have resigned tattle
,posi
tions, as honorable men, and washed
their dignified hands M . the responeibili
ty. But they chose to reserve mienaselves
for a conflict •hou their teiumpls would
be our death, and era somewhat aston
ished at the popular bowl of wrath and
indignation that comes up over their dig
nified, h woes', hoaorabie stupidity.
We could lova survived a Olubder

The people hate expected that in onr

unhappy region restored to a state o

might not be reasonable, for the blind
bigotry that hurried us into bloody

To have such a ttial, with such a result,
(and Nieuwe. Feseenden and Trumbull
knew it as well ni tit; beginning as they

blunder worse than a grime. It may be
that the disgust felt by the country at
large for the democratic peace party may
call into-existence a new orrantaation ,
but the Republican party is dead,and use
may as well gracefully admit the fact and
accept the situation.
