Without a platform:
; A'The "organ" editors don't want

will behave themselves, we will not

tzt.A dispatch from Chicago, says
"Since- the acquittal of President
Johnson, Wade is losing strength as a
candidate for nomination for the Vice
Presidency."
After all, is it not possible that the
several candidates for the Vico Presi
dency, and their friends, had a heavy
hand in the game played in the High
Court on Saturday last. Mr. Wade in
the Presidential chair to day, with
thousands of fat offices and millions of
government patronage at his disposal,
could have knocked the other aspirants
before the - Chicago Convention higher
than , a kite. If seven Republican votes
wore. necessary and were secured to
defeat Mr. Wide, could not mere have
been secured to vote the same way if
their votes had been necessary to keep
him out of the Presidential chair.
FEMALE VOTING.—Mrs. R. S. Mc•
Conaughy, the able oditress of tho Clay
ton (Del.) Herald, gives the following
reason far being opposed to woman
suffrage :
"For years we have made polities
our study, not only for our own satis
faction, but that we might be better
able to instruct our boys, who will some
day have the right to vote, and per
haps
to govern. We-have boon (if we
may be so allowed to speak), behind
the scenes, htid have seen the work
ings of politics, not only in one but
both political parties. Wo have seen
men who, in all other things,have seem
ed honest and upright, stoop to em
ploy intrigue and deception to carry
out their own ends, and help the party
they belong to and believe to be right,
to gain the ascendency. In polities
they seem to think all things fair,
whether it squares with the Bible or
not.- Taking men as our example, and
having soon the effect politics has on
thorn,, it is our opinion it will not add
anythin„v to the dignity, modesty, or
purity of- women, but will tend very
materially to degrade the sex. Give
woman the right to vote, and how long
will it be before she will want an of
fice, and being ambitious like man,
will she not use any and every means
—even intrigue and deception—to gain
power ?" •
We think the editress has given one
of the best reasons that could bo ad
duced in opposition to woman suffrage.
SIM confesses she has been "behind the
scenes and seen the workings of 'poli
tics." That is all that-is necessary to
convince any one of the present evil
tendency -of politics upon men, and
can wo expect any thing bettor of
woman ? Placed in the same situa
tion, they would be led to do what man
is now guilty of, and for that reason,
women should be excluded from the
political sphere. We acknowledge
that Much good would be done in cer
tain 'directions, if women were-allowed
"to vote; but we -cannot think of the
fair creatures turning politicians,stuMP
ing the County-and Stato as political
speakers, •buttomholing young; men,
old men, girls and women when they
happen to be eandid'ates; or engaging
.
in'the' mean tricks of the political in
triguer. Anything but that. Mrs.
McConaughy closes the article as fol
lows:
"If she would make her mark in the
world, our advice is to do it within the
sanctuary of home, where it will be
seen and felt, and not by wishing to
take upon herself the prerog
atives of men. If. woman but under
stood her whole duty, and' conscien
tiously carried it out, might not a great
deal of the corruption against which
all have so much to - say, not only in
politics, but in many other things, be
avoided? Lot woman rest contented
in the sphere in which God has placed
het, 'which is not only separate and
distinct from man's, but superior to it,
and than which there is none greater."
Pendleton Repudiated.
The Now York . Oltizen, edited by
Col. Ha'pine, is the recognized organ
of tho War Democrats. That journal
speaks out thus of the gentle Pendle
ton :
"We say distinctly, positively and
unchangeably as the laws of the Modes
and Persians, that never will those for
whom we speak, help directly or indi
rectly, by assertation or silence, by
action or idleness the' election of the
utter copperhead and false hearted
Northerner, George_ H. Pendleton.
Until the water runs up hill, until
trees grow with leaves under-ground
and roots above, until the moon gives
heat and the sun loses its fire, until
beasts become men and angels turn to
devils, until ice shall burn and fire alien
freeze, until every thing that is im
possible becomes possible, and not then,
will War Democrats vote for the man
who was false not only to his country,
but to his section, who was conspicuous
only as a degrading example of possi
ble Northern meanness, and who, by
his indirect support to their foes, slew
their eons and brothers. Rather a
thousand times, would they see the
loyal soldier and moderate Republican,
General Grant, in the Presidential
ohair, a person who, if not agreeing
with them in all their views is much
more nearly their representative than
a man whose prudence kept him from
being a traitor."
MrSome of the leading New York
Democrats are giving out the Dern
°cretin platform to be presented at
their National Convention on the 4th
of July. According to their story, the
planks are these : The first is a decla
ration against human,slavery ; the see
Ond, a declaration that the Confeder
ate debt is void; third, that tho N
ational .debt is to'bo paid exactly as
preseribiad bylaw ; fourth, for qualifi
ed Manhood suffrage, to be controlled
by the" States. Upon this basis they
Say they are sure a great party can be
built up, that, shall not only gather
nearly all the Democratic strength to
itself but also secure large conservative
Republican support. They also say
that they are looking for the most
available candidates to run on such a
platform.
General Grant's Opinions,
NEW, YoRR, May 13.—Among the
letters read before the Anti-Slavery So
ciety this morning was one from C. E.
Moss, dated Washington, May 19,
which says :
"General Grant is working hard with
his friends to secure conviction. Ho
says Johnson's acquittal will result in
bloodshed. His opinions ought to in
fluence Republican Senators to remove
the only obstacle in the way of peace.
"General Grant the past week has
declared himself in favor of universal
suffrage, and declares that must be the
ruling idea of his administration, if
elected in 1868."

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.—The New
York correspondent of the Hartford
Courant writes as follows : Mr. Grecly
would liko to see Schuyler Colfax put
on the ticket with Grant. Ho is now,
however, of the opinion that ox-Gov
ernor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, whom
ho by no means dislikes, will receive
the nomination. He expresses the be
lief that Curtin's nomination will be a
good stroke of policy to make a sure
thing of the Keystone State, and that,
inasmuch as the State election in Penn,
sylvania comes off a month prior to
tho Presidential, the prostigo and po
tency of Curtin's namo will be desira
ble to soeuro the restoration of the
State, and hence a powerful influence
on the other States in tho Presidential
contest.
The Articles of Impeachment.
Much has been said about the sepa
rate articles of impeachment presented,
and in order to advise our readers cor
rectly of their import wo reproduce
them to-day, so that whenever the re
sult of the vote is known they can at
once refer to them. The following is
a synopsis of the articles :
Article I declares that the President
issued an order for the removal of Stan
ton from the office of Secretary of War,
the Senate then being in session, inten
ding thereby to violate .the Tenure of
Office act.
II charges that the President, there
being no vacancy in the War Office;
authorized General Thomas, in writing,
to act as Secretary ad interim, the Sen
ate then being in session, and with in
tent to violate tho Tenure act and the
Constitution.
Article 111 is like the second, except
that it alleges that the President ap
pointed Thomas Secretary of War with
out the advice and consent, of the Sen
ate, and without authority of law, and
with the intent to violate the Consti
tution.
Article IV alleges that the President
conspired with Thomas and other un
known persons to prevent Stanton, by
threats, frbm acting as Secretary of
War, thereby violating the conspiracy
act of - July, 1861, and the Constitution.
Article V charges that the President
conspired with Thomas and others to
prevent the-execution of the Tenure
act; and that in pursuance of this con
spiracy, he and they attempted to hin
der Stanton, by unlawful means, from
acting as Secretary of War.
Article VI alleges that the conspire
ters intended by force to get possession
of the public property in the War De
partment, contrary to the Conspiracy
act of July 1861, and with the purpose
of thus violating the Tenure act. ,
ArtieWVll is very much like Arti
cle VI, merely adding that tho con•
spiracy to get possession of the prop
erty in the War Office was formed with
the intent Lo violate the Tenure act,
omitting all allegations as to the act of
July, 1861. • - •
Article VIII declares that the ad in
terimappointmen t of Tbomits was made
with the iritent_ on. the fittii of the
President to control the, military ap
propriations for the War Department
in an illegal Manner, intending, there
by to violate the Tenure act.
Article IX charges that the Presi
dent on the 22d of February, 1868, in
structed Gen. Emory (the commander
of the troops in Washington,: that the
act of March, 1867, which requires all
military orders to be given through
Gcn. Grant, Was unconstitutional; and
that the - President tried to persuade
Emory to disregard this law and re
ceive orders directly from him.
Article X relates to the speeches
made by the President at Washington
in August, 1866, about Congress hang
ing on the verge of the Government,
and St. Louis, in the following Septem
ber, while "swinging around the cir
cle."
Article XI charges that the Presi
dent declared in a speech at Washing
ton, in August, 1866, that the 89th
Congress was not a constitutional
body, but a CongreSs of only a part of
the States; that he thus denied that
its legislation was valid and obligatory
upon him, except so far as he approved
the same, and also denying its power
to propose amendments to the Consti
tution ; and, in pursuance to this deni
al, unlawfully devised means to pre
vent the execution of the tenure ant,
by trying to prevent Stanton from re
suming his duties as Secretary of War
and also advised means to prevent the
execution of the act requirihg army.
orders to be given through General
Gra❑t; and also devised means to pre
vent Lho execution of the "act to pro.
vide for the more efficient government
of the rebel States," commonly. called
the reconstruction act. Thcso offen
ses are popularly called misprision of
perjury—i. e., trying to induce offi
cers to violate their oaths, or devising
plans to violate one's, own oath, by re
fusing to execute these lows.
This is the substance of all the arti
cles, omitting their technicalities, and
paying no regard to their verbiage.

Results Looking Toward a Union o
Christian Churches,
It is with ordinary pleasure that we
sum up sonic of the results achieved at
the Lutheran General Synod, which
closed its sessions in this city, yester
day—rosults which conclusively point
to a union of Christian Churches, and
a consequent dissipation of the cold
ness which has heretofore kept apart
sects in this and all other countries.
The most marked features of the
Synod, outside of Its.regular business,
were, First, the reception of - a delegate
froM the New School Presbyterian
General Assembly; Second, the ap
pointment of delegates to
,the General
Synod of the German Reformed Church,
to the General Now School Presbyter
ia'n Assembly; to - the Northern Re.
formed
,Synod of the United Brethren,
and 'to - the Evangelical Chtirch Union
of the West; Third, the passage of a
resolution looking to corresponding
action with the Old School Presbyter
ian General Assembly; Fourth, an ex
change of dologaticins with the Con
gregationalists of Ohio; Fifth, a reso
lution looking toward fraternal rela
tions with the Reformed Dutch Church;
and Sixth, the appointment of a large
delegation to the World's Convention
of the Evangelical Alliance, which met
last year at Amsterdam. It is pecu
liarly appropriate that the church of
the Great Reformer, Martin Luther,
who inaugurated Christian liberality I
in the dark and intolerant age of 1516
by nailiug the ninety-five theses on the
door of the Castle Church at Witten
burg; should now be the first to move
in the noble work of Christian unity.
The only exception to this becoming
exhibition of Christian liberality; is the
intolerance exhibited by the Synod for
Romanism and ritualistio forms.
—So much for the liberality of the
General Synod of the Lutheran Church
of the United States. It; now romaine
to be seen how much further in broth
erly love and charity and respect for
the right of opinion, the General Syn
od of the New School Presbyterian
Church of the United States to meet
in Harrisburg next week, will go in
exhibiting the same Christian spirit.

demanding the conviction of Andrew
Johnson upon the grave charges pre
ferred against him by the people of
the United States through their Rep
resentatives, believing that there can
be no peace, no safety, no respect for
law, in portions of the Union while tho
apostate usurper remains in the _Presi

[For the Globe.]
MR. Earree.—My attention has been call
ed to an article in last week's Mount Union
Times. recommending for the Sheriffalty,
Captain D. It. P. Neely of Dublin township.
I wish to endorse the sentiments of the writer
of this article, and in behalf of justice, and
propriety, urge the nomination of this gentle.
man at the ensuing county convention. Cap
tain Neely entered the service of his
country during the late war, as a private
soldier, voluntarily, without any necessity
upon him, more than others who staid at
home, for the period of three years, and was
in all the heavy part of the war, with the
Buck Tail Regiment; rising by his merits
from place to place till he reached the Cap
taincy. Since the close of the war he has
done good service in the Republican party,
and is in every way reliable, and would make
a most excellent Sheriff. If the soldiers de
serve well at our hands, hero is a chance to
make our appreciation of their service. The
nomination of the Capt. would give strength
to the ticket, as ho is a popular man, and
has never before sought any position of favor
from the public. •
