IMPEACHMENT. Elsewhere will be found the details, at ; length, of the vote upoD the 11th article of j Impeachment, a.s developed on last Satur- ! day. As will be seen, it was lost by a single i vote, and that the vote upon the other ar- j tieles, has been deferred until Alonday the j 2Gth, inst. This adjournment was necessa ry in view of the sick Senators in attend- i anee, who could not have remained in at tendance until the vote would have been i reached upon all the articles, which would i have taken at least eight or ten hours, and j the fact that a number of Senators and Rep resentatives, desired to attend the Chicago j Convention. The Senators who betrayed j the Republican party were Trumbull of Illinois, Fessenden of Alaine, Henderson of Alissouri, Grimes of lowa. Ross of Kansas. Fowler of Tennessee and Van Winkle of West A irginia. These gentlemen, for rea sons best known to themselves, saw fit to enter into a conspiracy to defeat a great, remedial measure, which was instituted to remove a man from the position of Chief Magistrate, who had abused the trust re posed in him, after they had, by their votes and their actions, time and again, so declared. Their attempted justification, up to this time, is not satisfactory, and the country will ht>ld them to a strict accounta bility for their treaehery. THE CHICAGO CONVENTION. The Chicago Convention assembled on ' last Wednesday. Up to the time we go to j press we are not informed iu regard to its j action. But no one doubts for a single I moment that Gen. U. S. Grant will ho ! nominated by acclamation, or on the first ballot. The Vice Presidency is somewhat : in doubt. The latest intelligence indicates ; that the contest will be between Wade j and Colliix. We are glad to know that the | contest is between two men of no doubtful record. The country will do honor to Hselfi by honoring either of them. It may lie j that the contest may wax too warm and ai compromise candidate may be selected. If i this should lie the case save us from any I man who has not the backbone of Stanton, j Vice-Presidents are da na. IS6B. instead of several hundred years previ ously. aud had been closely scrutinizing tho actions of men, during tho trial of Andrew Johnson for "High Crimes and Misde meanors," he could not have laid down the rale of human conduct, as regards tho ac tions of ambitious nun. as a c' I >ve I clearly than he did in the above quoted memorable words. The persons to whom we allude, are the men who, on more than one occasion, signified their approval of the very measures which were adopted to bring I a usurping President to Justice, an-l after I having given their unqualified approval of | the extreme measure- inaugurated, found | r liat they could not further their own -elfish purposes, their own advancement, and rath er than see others advance, they del mined 1 to pull down the pillars of the temple of their friends and partizans, and bury all in one ! common ruin. It lias beeu the great misfortune oi" the i Republican party to be weighed down with I ambitious men. whom it has delighted to honor; and for trusting too in them, it has "paid dearly, very dearly for the whistle." It has been more unfortu nate. in this respect, than any other party I that has existed previously to it. This can j only be attributed to the fact, that in a few I years after its organization, it became the [leading, triumphant party of the country, 1 and those who were ever seeking place. vaulted on to it. in exjiectation ofrcaping a I rich harvest of office, which they could not I .lo in any of the old organization-. The Republican.-, we mean the original Republi i cans, those who had the nianliti -• and I courage to announce their principles to the I world without "fear, favor or affection." I were glad to receive them as acquisitions to the hosts of freedom, and iu hundreds of' instances, they stood aside and made room for the elevation of these ambitious newcom ers. No set of men have been so shame fully neglected as those who first flung the banner of Fremont to the breeze. Tliey were the pioneers of a now movement, and made it respectable, but they were to enjoy a very few of its reward-. There is hardly a corporals guard of those live men in the country to-day, who are received as Repre sentative Republican--. Almost all posiiions of profit are filled with men who cursed and denounced the Republicans as a "Negro Par ty." until it became the winning party, ami then they swallowed the Negro as readily as a hawk would swallow a fish. The-.- are general facts, and it is iu this light we speak of them, and wo leave it to the experience \ of the country to -ay whether we are not correct. Two great evils have . resulted from this, which can alone explain the misfortune of the Republican party. First, leading ovigi ginal Republicans have been compelled to stand aside to make room for those who have thrust themselves into the party, and they have felt the injustice of this prefer ment and have become soured, and event ually not standing tip to the work, accord ing to a standard fixed by those who dis placed them, they have been unceremoni ously kicked out of the party, and of course they have used all their endeavors to des troy it; and. secondly, those who have scrambled into the party, at the eleventh hour and been elevated to place, finding they cannot -■ - ure further elevation, fin e about and kif " the men who were-rapid enough to elevate them, and endeavor to draw the party down with them in their fall. If the Republican party will learn wisdom from this, the experience will not be too dearly purchased, but if it will go on in the same manner, as it hits done heretofore, it cannot Ire many years until it must give way to -orne more prudent organization. The admonitory words of Lord Bacon, when speaking of ambitions men. arc; "Let states choose such ministers as arc more sensible of duty than of rising, "and such as love bu siness rather upon conscience than upon bravery. LAST Saturday wa a day of considerable interest, nil partie- desired to know what would be tho upshot of Impeachment. The Republicans were nervous and the Demo crats in doubt; though the latter appeared to have less at stake than the former, and consequently had the advantage. AY hen the announcement of the vote was received, the Democrats jeered us considerably, aud demonstrated, that if they did care very little for the fate of Andrew, that the Re publican party had been defeated in one of its great objects, and therefore they had a right to be jubilant. However, when they cime to realize that they had won the elephant, they were sorely troubled to know what to do with him, and ihcy, no doubt, bitterly cursed his luck in their heart?. Whatever might be the result of impeach ment, they saw in it very little comfort for the Democratic party; and much less in | Andy's acquittal than in his conviction. AA'E learn that our neighbor of the Ga zette, B. F. Aleyers, Esq., is to become the editor and proprietor of the Harrisburg Patriot and Union, about the fir -t of June. AY-j congratulate ou;- coteiuyorwy up.n bis good fortune in securing the control of the leading central Democratic organ in the State, and though we set up no pretensions to prophesy, wc plainly predict that lie will make it one of the first Democratic papers in the country. Since there will be Demo cratic papers, we know of no one who can find more plausible sophistry for the support of the Democratic party, than our neighbor. AVe wish him abundant pecuniary success, and as for his politics, we hope they may only work tho political discomfiture of him self and friends. "This and nothing more."

Yerv Trulv Yours, J. F. DOWRY. THE SCENE IN THE SENATE ON SATURDAY. From a special despatch to tho Phila. WASHINGTON, May 17, Itsos. At eleven 6'clock, on Saturday, m ark two thousand spectators looked down on the Senate floor, nervously, impatiently await ing the hour when the final vote on the ar ticles of impeachment was to bo taken. At half past seven tho Senate met. Nearh every bench wa- occupied, and when Mr. ('onkling appeared, the Republican - took hope and con--elation. Senator Howard wa ubsent, but then Mr. Grimes was away too. Between half past eleven and twelve the:, was some dull, dry routine li iialation, it the introduction of resolutions and land bids may be termed a- such. At twelve o clock, Benjamin F. Wade left the chair, and the Chief Justice took the vacated seat. He called the Senate to order a- a gourt. cud the sergeant-at-arms made the usual procia uiation. Tlien the galleries were warned that if then-' vis - the tlighti: :: interrup:] -u they would be cleared. Senator AA'iUinui moved that the Court proceed to rote on the eleventh article first. Mr. Howard entered the Chamber at this time in evidently a very feeble condition, iind the Republican im peachment rank- were full. Grime- wa absent, but nobody mis-'-d him except the President s friends. The galleries v.-..- now hushed into breathle-- silence. Tim Secretary began to call the roll; it vr the opening of the buttle, the exchange of Ire; between the picket lines. Anthony doubt ful) at once put an end to al! uncertainty a to his position by v.-ting aye; it resulted ::! yeas to 19 nays. The vote was regard •! generally as a measure of strength, thou; h it in no way iuvohed the question of guilt or innocence. Tito Chief Justice then •'st and directed the Si -rotary to read the excitement. Before Air. Chase had c -m --pleted the question, Mr Cameron wa- ready with his answer— Guilty," ho said, with an emphasis which showed that his h< in was for conviction, and soon through tie list to Fowler; here was the next doubtful man. He had a cringing, skulking kind n! a manner. The Chief Justice put the (jm - tion. lie nervously rubbed his lips with his black gloved hand and answered IU a to tally indistinct voice. Sumner, two or three benches away, looked scornfully at him, an . said, "We cannot hear the gentleman." Hespoke alittlemore loudly, "Not guilty." It may be that at that moment he renum bered his own words, if we refuse to de pose Andrew Johnson the blood of the loyui men slain in the Mouth will be en our souls." When Ross was called on the ex citement was intense. lie had apj i 1 excessively nervous and frightened all the morning, and wa< constantly busy ;io tear ing white paper Into small fragment-, till the floor around liirn was like snow. "Not guilty," said Air. Boss, and it was felt that Impeachment was dead on the eleventh ev title, for no one depended on the honesty |of Van Winkle. Mr. Ross had reason fir | his fears, for I have it from the highest 1 authority that on Friday night, at the < n fcrenee at Senator Pomeroy's the renegade Senator from Kansas placed his name on the list and promised to vole fur the second, third, fourth and eleventh articles. He had been brought over to the President on Sat urday morning, and no man in the Senate was guilty of a more dihberate and coward ly treachery—he concealed his intention - up to the last moment. He says that ha do - not care to go back to Kansas. That im peachment is not abandoned the adjourn ment of the court to the liCrh proves. Af ter the defeat of the eleventh article, consid ered the strongest, the lmpeacliers wanted time to consider, but it is probable now that the whole thing is dead. A vote will pro bably be taken on each article, end the men put on record, but the President is not like ly to be removed. The Bard of Managers held a consulta tion last night, and were again this everting deliberating upon the course to be pursued j in the investigation of the alleged bribery and corruption of Senators. A brother *ofj Senator Ross was before them last evening, and it is asserted that they are on the tra-. k I of some very important and startling transac tions. They will have a meeting, to morrow : for the examination of certain parties who j made themselves particularly conspicuous: during the trial in upholding the President's side of the case. Senator Fowler, who lived in the same house with Col. Forney, has changed his residence and gone over to a Copperhead hotel in Georgetown, where j Senator McCreery, of Kentucky, rooms. Air. Henderson has also engageJrooms at the same hotel. The defeat of the eleventh article has ceased to be the excitement of Washington. ; The talk to day is of the new party,, of which it is said Chief Justice Cha o > is to be ! the leader and the candidate. These ru- : mors are complicated with others which suggest that Afr. Chase and his friends are [ in treaty for the Democratic nomination. 1 | give you these rumors simply as a report of 1 what is going on in the Capital, not as facte j for which I can vouch. This is what is said Iby the prominent Republicans. First the ; conspiracy on the part of Messrs. Fes-en ; den, Trumbull A Co., includes not merely the defeat of impeachment, but of the Re publican party and of the candidates of the | Chicago Convention. So far as Mr. Chase j I Uconcerned, it h known, for ho does not j ' be. bate to say, that he holds that the lie- i j publican party lias been led in a wrong di- j I reetion, i.nd that ho has always been t.ppo- I sod Jo impeachment. Ho has not abau j doned these principles, which he claims to ibe Republican. lie believes in universal ! suffrage and in universal amnesty. Within the last few days Mr. Chase has I stated that if the Republican party should ! per.-ist in its present path, a now party | would inevitably be organised. That the Republican party is unlikely in the extreme to modify its polio*. while Andrew Johnson ] is in power, must be plain to every one who i knows tho feeling of the- people and of j Congress. It is logical to believe that the new organization will be effect ••!. 11 -ides tbi- it is certain that Mt. -i.-. Trumbull, I'\ ssondan. IleudersoQ, and their blows, will never again be trit t.d by the party . tlicy have bet rave d. The CSricago Con vention will dial with them u d.-.- iters. Th '-o gen'leniep having f en tunc d cut of" the .Republican party, with little hope of getting into the Democratic, will tiritn rally desire to uiake a political purgatory of their own. Mr. Trumbull expect to e.i;ry a large portion of the vote of Illinois. \Virh •him Mr. Fes-et) kn hasgu at lakh in bis influence ov-- r Maine, and Mr. Henderson has openly expressed his conviction that the defeat of impeachment would !,.• en thusiast ical'v received by the people. They will cheerfully unite with any of! . t to make a conservative p;uiy Which .-ha!! b .in the control of the ••! i o-t d ore! office 'holders. The young aspiring souls of the 11 ; ul.ican party, the leaders who ..ithin a few years have sprung from the people, are to be driven from power, 'iVe t w patty will not oppose the admis-'ou of the .Sautht-rn States, in fact, they pre ! i them admitted immediately.

They count oh him, Mr. K\ rts, the New Vuik Time- aad Ev. nine A , ■ -plit np tin-. Republican party iti N v. York. Another of the report is that t!.. v, rty ; is simply a liu'.l-way lions- at which Mr. j Chase may meet the Democratic party, j Democrats of inSn.nc - have declare -r a Congress of the I r niteJ IN;:' - mth u ized by the Constitution t > nereis, t gisla- i tivc power nntler the same, hut on the an- ' t rary, wa-a Congress of only part of the | States, thereby denying and intending t> i deny, that the legislation of said t 'ongn >s 1 was valid or obligatory upon him, the -aid j Andrew Johnson, except in so it,- ■he saw j fit to appro* t the ,-ame, and also thereby] denying the power of the said Thim-nintl i Congress to propose amendments to th. j Constitution of the United States.

No. I is a eight-horse power, with east iron thresher frame and wrought iron and wood cylin der, sixteen inches in diametei and thirty-three inches long. Trunk has ten inch rake crank and seven rakes is thirty-five inches wide, and deliv ers the straw on the second rake, these carry the straw out on their lops, and deliver it on the *tack or. which will deliver about thirty five feet beyond the feeder, on a stack fifteen to eighteen feet high, and can be easily managed to carry the chaff with the straw, or deliver it in a sepa rate place. The trunk and fan sides being closed, 10 confine the straw and chaff, remedies all diffi culties in cleaning grain against windy weather. It bags the grain by reasonable management, suf • ficiently clean for market, and its capacity, under ordinary circumstances, is from twenty to forty bushels per hour, using eight horses and the same number of hands; but to force the work under favorable circumstance, it will thresh from forty to fifty bushels per hour, and with more case and agreeableness to bands than any other machine now in common use. The No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer's u.-e: in intending to apply to any common lever or railway power; weighs 1,300 pounds: has an iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 12i inches in diameter and 28 inches long; delivers the clean grain in bac?, or if desired, in a half bushel. It delivers the straw fifteen feet from the feeder, or if desired, can deliver tie straw and chaff togeth er; will thresh and clean, in good grain, ready for market, from 100 to 175 bushels of wheat, or from 300 to 500 bushels of oats per day, utdng four or six horses, and the same number of hinds: but to force the work, uuder most favorable lireun etam-os, good grain, Ac., will thresh and clean considerable more. The Machine will thresh and clean all kinds of grain.generally threshed with I the common machine, and requires no more horse power, but in many ease* docs not run so hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail j way power. Now here is what the Farmer and thrc-herman wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to thra.-h grain, with more satisfaction than any other separator now in use, and why is it? Be cause this separator has a self regulating Blast, which prevents grain from blowing into the chaff, and also ba? a self regulating feeder to feed the cleaner and it has rollers and combs in the clean ;cr which prevents it from choaking. Why does j this machine run so light, and give so little rrou . ible? Because there ibices friction in the Jour : nals, and the rakes and fan arc get red so that you j have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping, j causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why docs it clean against the wind? Because the blast has ! direct action on the grain and the cleaner is so ; well arranged that the wind has ro chance to , drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built permanently on two wheels and the front car j riage separate, ready to attach whe-i necessary ? Because it is more convenient in the barn without j the front carriage. YOJ can turn the machine or ' ; run it from place to place more easily. Why has* it not got Elevators like some other machines? Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter nately into the cleaner which must eventually go into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know, that filth should he "kept separate for feed, Ac., wo might as well keep shoveling tbe Tailings from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex pect to get the grain clean. Why is this sepa.a tor more cleaner and satisfae'ury to woA about than others? Bee-use the Fan and Trunk Sh'es are closed up to p-event the wheat chaff and dust from com in g out rnu scattering over the floor, causing waist and giving much troub'e with dirt and soie eyes, Ac. Why do Threshermen get more work with these separators than they do with others? Because this separator ha* all thc.-e advantages and many more, which makes it a ! separator suitable and a paying one for all farmers and Thrashermen that have grain to j thrash, whilst in moat cases fanners must suit i th'uuselves to the machine, because the machine : w .li not uit itself to the farmer. In short, this I is the cheapest, must durable, reliably, simple and nest agreeable to work about and the only separ ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently clean for market under all circumstances*. [ Farmers can rest assured that this machine is no humbug, and judging from the high recom mendation of farmers that arc using them, we must come to tbe conclusion that it is the very Machine that farmers want and will have as soon u.* they have an opportunity to appreciate and attest its merits, for which we hope they will give us aa opportunity, as we'arc willing to be respon sible if it does not perform a? represented in this Circular.
