CABfERON EJECTED SENATOR.
On Tuesday the Republican Legisla
ture of this State elected Simon Camer
on a Senator of the United States for
six years from the 4th of March. The
combined strength of Curtin, Stevens,
Forney and Grow tvas overcome by
Caifleron, arid he whipped them all ;
nay, more, he disgraced them. Previ
ous to the nomination the fight against
the Winnebago chief was fearfully des
perate. Stevens, Forney, Kelley, More
head, McClure and other leaders repair
ed to the seat of Government, deter
mined at all hazards to wrest from his
grasp the war club of the old chief. But
every attempt failed, and one after an
other the assailants fell to the ground
bleeding of their wounds.
Cameron elected Senator! Ho takes
the seat of that honest, incorruptible
statesman, Edgar Cowan! Ye'‘gods,
what are we coming to? A great and
good man is to be ousted from a posi
tion he adorns, to give place to a mous
ing politician—one who, according to
Republican authority, is “the worst
man in the whole country, and who
never occupied-a position that he did
not obtain by bribery and corruption.”
So says Forney, so says Stevens, Kelley,
McClure, and nearly all the Republican
editors of the State. What are we com
ing to, we repeat ? It was well that the
Radicals had this Senatorial fight-all to
themselves; it gives the people an op
portunity to judge of the high-toned
morality of thatmost abandoned, shame-
less and infamous party.
“ Cameron, has again bought a seat in
the U. S. Senate; his election is an out
rage and a burning disgrace,” exclaim
those who co voted the same post of hon
or. Well, what of that? Cameron is
the same man now that ho was when he
was Secretary of War, and did not the
very men who are now assailing him
applaud President Lincoln on the selec
tion of his Cabinet? As Secretary of
War. Cameron had hundreds of millions
of dollars of the public money to dis
pense. Why did not Stevens, and For
ney and “black Bill Kelley” assail him
then ? Was it because they were receiv
ing a large portion of the stealings ?
Did not Cameron divide with them and
make them rich? They now say that
Cameron was always a thief and cor
ruptionist, but yet they applauded Din
coin for appointing this man to the
most responsible position in his gift—a
position that enabled him to fleece the
Government to the tune of hundreds of
millions. By branding Cameron as a
“ thief and corruptionist," they admit
just what wo formerly said, that the
grand object of the Lincoln administra
tion was to make its adherents rich at
the expense of the people’s treasury.—
The cry of “loyalty” was a cunning
dodge to deceive the poor dupes who
sustained these robbers in power. What
right then has Stevens, the traitor,
Forney, the “dead duck,” and Black
Bill Kelly, the contractor, to attempt
to tarnish Cameron’s illustrious name, by
calling him a “ thief and corruptionist?”
They are all thieves together, and the
old saying, “ when thieves fall out hon
est men get their dues,” may be veri
fied. They all made their “ pile” dur
ing the administration of the “ martyr, ”
and every brick in the new mansions
they occupy is stained with blood and
moistened with widows tears. Camer
on is not a whit worse man than thou
sands of “loyal thieves” who hovered
about Washington like carrion crows
during the whole four years of the war.
If he Is a thief, so are they; if lie is a
corruptionist, who would sell his coun
try for gold, they arc no better; they
are all equally corrupt, and wo believe
Cameron the best man among thorn.
The election of Cameron to the Sen
ate is the sequel of the “ great Republi
can victory” last fall. Let the people
reflect?
“TUG GREAT COMMOVEII,"
The vote that Thftd Stevens received
(or Senator i# tips Radical caucus of
members of Assembly, at Harrisburg, on
the evening .of Thursday, January 10,
stamps him with indellible disgrace.—
He left his seat and his duties behind
him at Washington, and repaired to
Harrisburg, determined, as he said to
one of his friends, “ to make the nomi
nation or die in the ditch,” He failed
in thefirstobjeote-a nomination; but he
succeeded in the latter—he died in the
ditch. Out of the 81 Radical members
who met in caucus, he. received hut
seven votes,' Oh, what a fall was that
for the Infamous traitor ? What a scath
ing rebuke from the Radical represen
tatives?
When Cameron was toid, a couple
months ago, that Stevens was to be one
of his competitors for the Senate, he said
he would “ not only defeat him, but
brand him with disgrace, if he could be
disgraced.” Fearfully did he carry out
,his threat. Forney, too, the dead duck,
who attended on Stevens, and spoke of
him ns the “great Commoner,” has al
so received a rebuke that should mend
his manners and his morals. Notwith
standing the fierce manner in which ho
assailed Cameron through the columns
of his subsidized I*ress, branding him as
one of the greatest rascals in America,
whose election to the Senate would be a
disgrace to our State, and bring defeat
and ruin to the Radical-disunion party,
he Mled, it appears, to even control the
votes of his own city members, a ma
jority of whom voted for Cameron!
Poor Forney! When he arrived at
Harrisburg, holding np the coat-tail of
the great Commoner,” old Winebago
laughed at ids impudence, and then
took him by the nape of his neck and
wrung his political head off)
After the fight was over,the old Wi»-
ebago chief repaired to his wigwam, put
up his war club, and crowed like a roos
ter, .Stevens, Forney, SJoorohead and
other “ satraps” left the town at the hour
of midnight, arid were off for Washing
ton, where they have been nursing their
sore heads” ever since. Let them
howl, the dirty traitors. Let old Ste
vens go on in his career of treason and

ed to unhinge the State Government
and did succeed in getting up a

Forney be a warning to all traitors.

of Pennsylvania, was inaugurated on

KEEP. TICE PEOm IGNORANT.
It has always been the custom of edi
tors of both parties to publish, for the
Information of their reactors, the messa
ges of the President of the United States,
and the Governor of the State. We
have always observed this ride, because
we felt that wo had nq right to violate
it, or to keep our readers In ignorance of
the views of our rulers. But the radical
editors of late entirely ignore this well
observed custom, and seldom do we find
in their columns the messages of the
Presidentof the United States. Not one
Radical newspaper in a hundred has the
fairness to print President Johnson’s
veto of the District Negro Suffrage Bill.
These papers can occupy column after
col 'mn in commendation of that most
unrighteous and infamous measure, but
they have not the decency to lay before
their readers the President’s objections
to it. Is there a darkey censorship over
the Radical press ? It looks like it, for
never in the history of our country was
such mean unfairness resorted to to keep
the people in ignorance. The “ earnest
men of the country,” as Forney calls
the Radical rascals who are plotting
against the people’s peace, . are well
aware that their deviltries, : when
brought to the attention of the people;
are regarded with abhorrence and cbn
.tempt. Hence their efforts to keep from
the light of day the answers and argu
ments against the revolutionary doings
of the Rump Congress; But, these'ef
forts to mislead and blindfold the. peo
ple will surely fail. The yeomanry of
the country, thank God, are getting their
eyes open to the revolutionary and trea
sonable objects the Jacobins have in
view, and already we hear mntterings
of discontent oven in the Republican
ranks. Subsidized presses may refuse
to publish the veto messages of the
Chief Magistrate of the nation, and thus
octempt to cover up and hoodwink
the infamous acts of the rumperq,.but
this will not avail them, for intelligent
Republicans will seelf information from
sources outside their party presses and
party machinery, and on this informa
tion they will act.
In conclusion we direct the attention
of our readers to the Veto Message of
President Johnson, to be found on our
first page. The President returns, with
his objections, to the Senate, where it
originated, the bill entitled “ An Act to
regulate the elective franchise in the
District of Columbia.” We have no
apology to make for the space it occu
pies, but commend it to the careful con
sideration and reading of every one, as I
it is one of the very ablest’ productions
which has ever issued from, the execu
tive chair of the nation. It la written
in the most courteous and dignified
style, and the arguments advanced are
sound and incontrovertible. The Pres
ident discusses the whole question of
suffrage from every conceivable stand
point, and makes copious extracts from
the sayings and writings of the elder
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Ohandbllor
Kent and Justice Story to strengthen
his impregnable position. The veto
throughout is a noble defense of the
theory that “this government was made
by while men for white men and their
posterity forever.” Although it was
received with characteristic disrespect
by the Radical disunionlsts In Congress,
it will meet with the general approval
of every sincere lover of his country and
its time-honored institutions.
jay- Won’t the Herald try to be hon
est once in a while, just for sake of vari
ety? Last week,, in speaking of the
Milligan,case it used this language;
“Judges Grier, Nelson, Clifford, Davis and
Field, a majority of tlio bench, oppoteU to Judges
Clowe, Miller, Wayne and Swayne, Imvo decided
In the case of Milligan, his trial by o military
commission ns Illegal, and have ordered his re
leiuso.”
Now if the Herald lias not read the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
Millagan case, we advise it to do so, for
it will there find some very good law.
If it has. read the deciesion it must be
aware that it is stating what is not the
case when it asserts that “ the majority
of the court decided that the trial of
Milligan by a military commission was
illegal, and ordered his release,” in “ op
position to Judges Chase, Miller, Wayne
and SwayneQn these very two points
the decision of the OquH was unanimous.
And when it is remembered that five
out of the nine Judges who render
ed that decision were appointed by
Abraham Lincoln, it does not seem in
very good taste for the Herald to speak
of it as “ an unrighteous decision.” Can
it be possible that any of theappoiutees
of the immaculate Abraham would do
an unrighteous thing!
The movement for the impeachment qf qovoruj
of the Justices of the Supremo Court has not been
abandoned.— Phita. Inquirer.
Of course hot. The Supreme Judges
who Stand in the way of Radical ideas
should ho impeached and put out of
the road of Forney’s >* earnest m e n."—
Goon, Messrs Rumjiers; don't threaten
so long, but be up and doing; impeach
the President; Impeach the Judges of
the Supreme Court; impeach everybody
and everything, opposed to your revo
lutionary movements. Don’t talk so
much, but act. “Throw conscience to
tho devil,” os old Stevens once said, and
up and at your work. Many of you de
serve hanging, and.theaponeryou move
in the Impeachment business, tips soon
er will you swing at the end of a cord,
On, then, on, to the consummation of
your treason! We are tired of threats;
let us have deeds.

have no doubt ho did—Cameron should

Hypocrisy.
A desire to preserve the interesting re
cords, of the scrambling fight for the high
position of United States Senator, now in
progress by Republicans, leadps to pub
lish the recent letter of Thad. Stevens
on the subject, which is a curiosity in its
way, but Thad. ail over. It purports to
bean answer to Harry White, who with
becoming pathosjentreats the veteran not
to lag, but come forthwith to Harrisburg
and exhibit his Cromwellian front to an
unsuspecting Legislature, unable .to make
its mind on this important business, Mr.
Stevens first plays the old maid, he
wouldn't electioneer, he don't want any
body to touch him —then hc scolds and de
nounces the members for the past fifteen
years as having been guilty of corruption,
bribery and fraud, that the demoralizing
air of Harrisburg has made corruption so
fashionable that candidates for office bold
ly bid and pay their cash upon thodelivery
of the ballot. He then plays the hypo
crite in which he is most at home ; by
praising the present Legislature ns pure
and above suspicion, that all who were
tainted were left at home and winds up
by stating he would be in Harrisburg, on
Tuesday night, although a moment be
fore he could not visit Harrisburg for the
reason that no man who had any regard
for his reputation could consent.to enter
into such a competition. Does this shame
less trickster expect to deceive anybody by
an assumption of Independence and virtue
by denouncing previous legislatures vyhen
he was not a candidate, and a rival, who
was never in his way before, and then
travel from Washington to Harrisburg to
electioneer for an office, and previously
declaring the present Legislature “ pure
and above suspicion" to prqpilitato favor,
although he will know tire majority were
committed to Cameron, and a large num
ber constituting the body were returned
members. Forney in a double barrelled
leader on Monday, denounces Cameron
and gives a truthful exhibit of the char
acter of the great money changer but dif
fers from his recent pet Stevens in his es
timate of the present Legislature and
says!
" Ami what 1b the political situation to
day ? Is there a community great oramall,
in Pennsylvania, that, does not believe
that precisely the same agencies are work
ing for Simon Cameron at tho present
time ? Is there a disinterested Republi
can who hasnot confessed to himself with
shame that, unassisted by such influences,
he would not stand the shadow of , a
ohance before the presentLpgislature? It
is true that some good men intend giving
him their votes, but the.public judgment
is settled that money is being freely used ;
and this conviction is strengthened by
the recollection of the instances we have
cited, and by the extraordinary energy of
certain suspicious- characters in all parts
of the State.”
All we have to say is if “ clubs be
trump" Stevens holds the winning hand
and the Devil sweeps the pool. Hero is
his letter; .
House of Representatives, I
Thirty-ninth Congress, U. 8,, J-
Washington, January 5,1807. J
Hon. H. White, Penna. Senate —Sir :
I received yours of the 3d inst., suggest
ing to me the wish of several friends that
I would visit Harrisburg in the begin
ning of next week. This you do not hesi
tate to say in connection with the pend
ing electionof Uniten States Senator, and
that ray name having been mentioned
among - the cnndltates, my friends think
jhat my presence may improve my chances
by'removing some false impressions.—
When ! allowed my name to be used it
was with the express understanding that
I should in ho way canvass fo,r the place.
I have an ah|f|lng ilYaralQll th election
eering for any nines, but to solicit votes
for the office of United States Senator is
repugnant to all ray ideas of propriety.—
It seems to mo that for that nigh office,
the Legislature ought to be left wholly
uninfluenced by solicitation or any more
substantial argument,,to'select whomso
ever they might deem, best qualified for
thooffloe. I have thought that they were
competent to survey the State, and select
the man whoeoulddoitmosthonorwith
out prompting. But there are other rea
sons operating in Pennsylvania still more
powerfult It cannot bedenled, and there
fore need pot pp concealed, that for the
last -ten or fifteen years the Legislature of
Pennsylvania has pad a most unenviable
reputation. Corruption, bribery and fraud
have been freely charged, end, I fear too
often proved to have controlled their
notions. No matter how honest when
chosen, the atmosphere of Harrisburg
seems to have pleroed many of them with
a demorallzingtuint.
: A seat In the Legislature becomes an
object of ambition, 1 not for the per diem,
but for the chance of levying contribu
tions from rich corporations and other
large jobs. Corruption has finally -be
came so respectable as to seduce candi
dates for office-boldly to bid for them,
and to-pay the push for the delivery of
the ballot. The very office of Senator is
known to have once been bought with
gold, and to'have been trafficked for on a
memorable Occasion in exchange for the
precious .metal. , Indeed, it.has become
proverbial that the longest purse is sure
to win. So sure Is this that men once -er
more deteptedin such shameful practices
do nol hesitate tp appear before the pub
lic and ask'leavq’to practice the satpe
gatrie. .' How can" any than',' who has any
Character to Ipse, consent to enter Into
Bueh .competition. Fortunately for the
country, the present Legislature jspbpve
suapiolon. Those wh° were !n former
Legislatures and were tainted have been
left at home; J and pure men scut in their
places bo far as my knowledge of their
reputation extends. 1
No honest man can be found around
where there hangs any distrust. Why,
then, should I visit you, as If to attempt
tp Influence such independent and pure
men. Besides, Jt might be injurious to
members, if any who hpvo been’ known
to hkve 1 been ‘elected against me should
change sides. ’ The inference would be
Inevitable, that they had yielded to ille
glUmato ' Whfen the 1 eleo
( flop was over, If certain members who
Were expected to vote for various candi
dates, wore to tic found going for mo
against the declared aversion of their
constituents, nothing could save them
from the charge of a purchase and sale
but the known meagreness of my purse.
I would not subject any friend to this Im
putation.
For these and other reasons I have
come to tho conclusion that I had better
not visit Harrisburg as you request.
Yours, respectfully,
Thad. Stevens. ,
Hon. H. White, Stateßeuator -.—Dear
Sir— Since writing you under date of
January sth, certain facta have come to
my Unowlego which may oblige me to
reconsider my determination. If so, I
will be in Harrisburg on Tuesday night.

Pen Portrait of* the Now Senator from Penn*
■ylvanln by n PelloTr.Jttadlcnl. X<ottor from
tongreuman Kelley.
Philadelphia, August 14,1865.
To the Union Men of the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict:
A long and successful career In crime em
boldens the guilty. A recent illustration
of this law of human nature Impels mo to
violate my life-long rule of conduct, and'
for once to notice a political slanderer. I
do not, however, address you for the pur
pose of repelling his iuuendoes or false
hoods. ' My life has been passed among,
you, and If its record, familiar to you all,
does not repel them , I have lived in vain.-
My purpose is simply to pierce the mail of
ill-gotten gold In which the slanderer has
clothed himself, and give you a glimpse
at the .loathsome object it protects.
The papers of Friday announce that Si
mon Cameron, of Dauphln'County, was
serenaded by his friends oh the proceed
ing evening at the Girard House in, this
city, and availed himself of the occasion
to vilify :hy colleagues and myself, “ the
Congressmen of Phllad’a. 1 ' In a speech to
the assemblage.
I was but ayouth when I first heard the
name of Simon Cameron, and It was as
the perpetrator of a great crime. He had
been,made theagent of the government
to carry a large amount of money due them'
to the Wlnhebagolndians,andhadtaken
advantageof thelrignoranceand helpless
ness to enrich himself. ' Those of you who
had then attained to manhood, though
you may not, after the lapse of so many
years, revive the burning indignation
with which you regarded the infamous
swindler of the poor Indians, will.doubt
less remember that, instead of paying
them the specie which the government
confided to him for that purpose, he re
tained it and gave them the notes of the
Middletown Bank, of which he was an
owner.. At their encampment in the re
mote .wilderness these notes were utterly
worthless. The Indian could not use
them for any purpose there nor carry
them to Middletown for redemption. But
whatwasthatto Simon Cameron? Wasnot
their loss his gain, and was he not so
much the richer by every note that failed
to come'homo, for redemption, though
they did suffer ahd starve ? And those of
you who are not old enough to remember
all this no w know why this bold, bad man
is sometimes spoken of by your seniors as
the “ Great Winnebago,” and sometimes
as “ Old Kickapoo.”
Formore than thirty yearsl have watch
ed the tortuous career of this 1 man, and
have never seen reason to abandon my
first impression of his character. Wheth
er acting with the Democratic, the Know- 1
Nothing, or the Republican party—for he
has in turn disgraced them all—be has
never been false to his animal instincts.
He has endeavored to turn them all to
profitable occount. His ambition is sor
did and panders to his avarice, and meas
ures honors by the perqisites they expose
to his grasp. He has no confidence in the
people, and is aware that they distrust
him. His speech of Thursday evening
was not characteristic of him, for he is
prone to the use of instruments. His
habit is to point to the stiletto, but to em
ploy another hand to drive it home.—
Though an active participant in the poll
tics of his county and State for more than
half a century, during which long period
he has pursued the profits of office, of
jobs, of contracts, with eager andi cease
less assiduity, he has never dared to per
mit his name to be presented to the peo
ple of the county or State as a candidate
for an elective office.. He crawls to the
feetof theapointingpownr.. He earns net
wJjo may be King so that he may “ still
be Vicar of Bray,” and to that end he
chaffers with and corrupts weak and
needy members of conventions and the
Legislature of both parties. .
I need not recite the disgraceful facts
attending his several canvasses fof the
United Slates Seriate. Their nauseous
odor lingers in your nostrils to this hour.
In the first he bought the votes of three
Democratic members, and in the last bid
$20,000 for'lhe one vote which would have
elected him. This last transaction was
so flagrant that the Legislature was com
pelled to take cognizance of it, and if jus
tice be not lame as well as blind the law
and honor of our State will be vindicated.
The evil report of his deeds pervades
the country as a reproach to our State. —
Yes, unhappily for Pennsylvania and her
great interests, the buzzard-winged fame
of Simon Cameron is national. By
months of abject solicitation and corrupt
bargaining, he procured a mass of letters,
certificates, and recantations that imposed
him upon President Lincoln as the rep
resentative man of the State. —
That Wfts an evil hour fotPennsylvania.
You will remember how he organized
the navy agency in this city, and feel the
ineffable reproach ho thus brought on our
navy-yard and commercial and other bu
siness men. In the course of his Impu
dent and ill-judged harangue he said:—
“ In the olden time a member of Con
gress from Philadelphia would have had
sufficient Interest „to carry his point (the ■
establishment of a naval station at League
Island) without a dissenting voice.” Is
that the assertion of a sober miyn ? And
did he who made it .forget that our Con
gressmen in the olden lime in proposing
to locate a Government workshop at
Philadelphia had not the terrible reputa
tion of Simon Cameron, the Fagan of the
Harrisburg lebby and ex-Secretary of
War to contend with, and, therefore, bad
some chance for success ? My colleagues
and I were, less happy than they in this
respect,
As I have said, ho begged and bargain
ed for the influence which induced Mr.
Lincoln to invite him to a seat in hjs
Cabinet. It was now fondly hoped by
those who had not sounded tho J depth of
his depravity, that, being old and rich, i
he would take advantage of so distin
guished an opportuijy to prove that he |
could be honest, and could administer
trust without turning it to his profit, or
handing the fund over to his creatures, to
be used on joint account. How sadly
these hopes were disappointed Is attested
by the brevity of his term of office, and
the circumstances , under which it closed.
; Ip less t(i»n one year from the day on
which Simon Qaifietpp WAS installed as
Secretary of. War, Congress, though at
that early day it had before It but partial
evidence of bis crimes, indignantly drove
him from that high office., Two-thirds of
the members of , the lower House were
friends of file Administration, and would
gladly have, sustained each member of it
as they did its distinguished, bead.
: You eon imagine how; painful it must
have been to them. to find themselves
constrained by duty to proclaim the fact
that the first man the head of their party
had been, induced to appoint as the suc
cessor of John B. Floyd had exhibited
greater aptitude than he for his worst
tricks. But it became inevitable; for
this qid man, notwithstanding his boast
ed and reputed millions, believes thatqne
of his name is never, rloh ehbugtf until
he has a little more, and, to save, their
party and the country,, the friends of the
administration in the House bad to pro
claim his infamy and denounce his crimes.
Nor was the vote by which they did it a
meagre one. His friends, ahd those who
would must gladly have averted this dis
grace from otfr Brnte. psnid tally butahout
one-third of the Hquse against the reso
lution of condemnation, , The vote wasi
about two io PUP against him,'although I,
os a Pennsylvanian, hot’willing tojear
witness agaiqat the renrasontatfvo pf phi
gtatfe, but too well satisfied of his guilt to
vote against the resolution, failed to re
cord my vote,
In this foot, gentlemen you have the
sooretof “ thin distinguished statesman’s”
hostility, to me and, my friends. Mr.
WalbSrn, the postmaster of Philadelphia,
and other qf his creatures, hove offered
me his friendship and support if I would
endeavor to have that resolution expung
ed. My reply has invariably been that
to-stir-foui matter would bo to produce a
stench. I have never in this or aught
else endeavored to propitiate, him or hla
creatures. No stone may mark the spot
whore my remains may finally rest, bull
mean that ray children shall be able to
vindicate my name by pointing to the
fact that Simon Cameron and fils confi
dential friends wore over hostile to me.
With grateful regards, youts very truly,

"Washington, January 1-1,1807.
Tho rago of tho Radicals against tho Supremo
Court knows no bounds. Stovons assailed tho
Court bitterly In a speech ho made the other
day. It Is said ho is preparing some Important
measures which look to Radical changes In both
Executive and Judicial quarters. Ho Is deter
mined either to get rid of tho Court altogether,
or to fix it up in such a way that It will decide
all qucstlonsjust op tho. Radicals wont them de
cided. This will bo a most Important movo la
tho Radical assault upc*n Constitutional liberty.
An Independent judiciary has heretofore boon
our boast, os It has been our great safeguard, but
If Stovons and company can reach tho Supremo
Court, tho people will not have this protection
any longer. Tho last hope of tho friends of lib
erty Is gone when our Courts are made mere par
tlzan machines to do the bidding of the party In
power. Tho people cannot arouse themselves to
a sense of tho Impending danger a moment too
soon. All parties aliko ore equally Interested in
the assault now being made upon tho Supreme
Court. If this tribunal is made to subserve more
party Interest, It will not bo long before the same
fate will befall tho State Courts. This, state of
things may benefit the Radicals to-day, but their
political enemies to-morrow. How would the
people like to have a Judge on tho bench who
Would bo obliged! to decide all cases, that come
before hlm r Infioflanco of tno law, to suit tho bias
of the political majority? This is Just, what; the
Radicals are trying to make tho Supreme Court
do. Neither England nor Franco dare go thus
far. An attempt to do this thing In tho former
country would oroato a' revolution that would
unseat tho Queen. . Shall w 6 tolerate il hexoT Is
the spirit of liberty .dead, that men Will so tame
ly submit to those unblushing outrages? Shame
on the degenerate sons of noble,sires, who would
thus barter their liberties for the peace that hone,
but slaves would accept. « * .
There can no longer bo any doubt of tho fact
that tbo Radicals intend to remove tho Presi
dent, if possible. OnMonday,,Mr. Ashley, one
of the Radical members of Congress from Ohio,
rose in his seat, and assuming an air of groat ,so
lemnity, charged Andrew Johnson, with certain
high crimes and ■ misdemeanors and offered a
resolution instructlng.tho Committee on tho Ju
diciary to inquire into tho “official misconduct"
of tho President. . ;
Mr, Ashley rose, ond as a question of privilege,
had read by tho clerk tho following .charges; “ I
do Impeach Andrew Johnson, Vico President
and noting president of the United States, of
high crime# and misdemeanors. I charge him
with usurpation of power and violation of law*
in that ho has corruptly abused tho oppolnllng
power. In that ho has corruptly used tho veto
potfor; in that ho has corruptly disposed of the
public property of the United States; In that ho
has corruptly interfered In elections, and com
mitted acts, and conspired with others to com
mit acts, which, in contcihplatlon of tho Consti
tution, are high crime# and misdemeanors.” —
Therefore, bo it , .
■JUsolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary
bo and they are hereby authorized to inquire in
to tho official conduct of Andrew Johnson; Vice
President, discharging the -powers and duties o*
tho office of President of the United States, and
to report to thlft. House, whether, in their opin
ion, tho said Andrew Johnson, while In saldoif
flee, has been guilty of acts which Wore designed
or calculated to overthrow, subvert of corrupt
the Government of the United States or any de
partment or office thereof; and whether the said
Andrew Johnson has booh guilty of .any act, or
has conspired with others, to do.acts, which, In
their contemplation of tbo Constitution, ore high
crimes and misdemeanors, requiring the inter
position of the Constitutional power of this House;
and that said Commlttoe.havo power to send for
persons and. papers, and to administer the cus
tomary oath to witnesses. Tho resolution was
thon ; adopted under tho operation of tho previ
ous question, yeas 100, hays 89. ' :j . , .
I believe the Radicals are fearfully in .earnest
in regard to this matter.' ,Not oven the.threaten
ed danger of a new civil war will, prevent them.
from carrying out their nefarlous scbomes. It U
tborala.nnfc ft win
gjo.obargo brought against President Johnson In
this impeachment whloh could not have been
sustained, with overwhelming evidence, against
’Abraham Lincoln; and yet if any body hod pro
posed tho impeachment of " tho Qad-liko Lin
coln,” ho would havo boon hurried off to tho“ Old
Capitol Prison,” within twelve hours. If Andrew
Johnsoh has "corruptly used the appointing,power,"
did not Lincoln remove every honest official, in
the country who dldnot.agree. with him In poli
tics; and did lie not appoint a notoriously In
competent man-to the office of Chief. Justice of.
the United States,, to secure tho triumph !of his
own partisan views in opposition <to thq law of
the land? If Andrew Johnson “hascorrvpttpdU*
posed of the property of the United Siafe #/Mg it hot
also true that during the, Umo Abraham Lincoln
had possession of the .White House, valuable ar-.
tides of furniture and plate mysterious ly disap-'
peared from it; and is ibnot true that thlsohargo
was made at tbp lime upon tho floor of the House
by Thaddeus Stevens himself? If Andrew. John
son “ has corruptly interfered ftiofoottonV’ Is It not a,
matter of history that during the Administration.
ofLlncoh), troops wore, thrown into Maryland,
Indiana, Pennsylvania and other States, who
prevented.duly qualified citizens from voting tbe
Democratic ticket, aqd votcdthemsolyea, where
they had no right to vote, half a dozen or more
times ? Is it nob also trao that with the consent;
and in many cases by tho express order, of Abra
ham Lincoln, newspapers .were suppressed, and
citizens woro arrested without warrant and con
demned without trial; and are such acts as these
not u liigh crimes and misdemeanors In contem-
plation of tho Constitution 7”
The anniversary of tipi battle of New Orleans
wo# colohratecj hy a grand banquet at the No
tional Hotel, on Tuesday evening, under the au
spices of tho National Democratic Committee.—
Among tho distinguished individuals present
were President Johnson andjaevoral members of
thoCabiuet, Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, the vener
able Francis P. Blair, Sr., and all tUb Democratic
ond Conservative moiqbQra of Congress, Presi
dent Johnson, qq being toasted, proposed in re
ply the following sentiment: “No State, of its
ow'n will, has a right, under the Constitution, to
renounce Us place in, or to withdraw from tho.
Union. Nor has tho Congress of tho United States
a Constitutional power to degrade tho people ol
any State by reducing tfyenft to tho condition of a
more territorial dependency upon the Fede;sl
head. Tho ouo Is a disruption—a dissolution of
the Government; tho other is a consolidation
and an extreme of despotic power. Tho, advo
cates of tho latter are also the enemies of the
Union and ol our Constitutional form of Govern
ment.” This sentiment was vociferously ap
plauded; and subsequently eloquent speeches
wore made by Judge Black, Senators Doolittle
and Cowan, and others. The President’s toast
has occasioned considerable talk, and looks as If
he meant to put tho Radicals through, If they on
ly give him a good excuse for it.
The Senate and House, havo passed the
District B 4 U\ pyqr the President’s
veto, and It ip now a law. Thme confiding re
publicans who. have all along believed the pro
fessions of their leaders that they were not In fa
vor of negrb*suffra!go ; can! now swallow this pill
as beat they may, •
1 omitted to mention lost week that a sumptu
ous New Year’s dinner was given to several thou
sand negroes on Arlington Heights; and! a, largo
amount of warm clothing was distributed among
tho darkles. Several members of Congress and
reverend gentlemen made speeches on the occa
sion. At tho tlmo these exorcises were going on,
there wore thousands of poor whites, toolhNorth
and South, who wore suffering from hunger and
cold, and yet there wore none to proffer them
bread and clothing. Oh, what a sad mookery
these Yankee abolition festivals are upon true
Christian philanthropy! .
Tho city is miserably dull this The
