Win!. The l'remderit is acquitted of
Lit;!) brinies and misdemeanors, and
the Court stands adjourned without

ti;:ilion now gtiiiigon in tho room of
the managers no ono cun toll, but the
nii'o articles presented on tho second
u.irth and tlio two moro brought
on the third have been defeated.
iri
Lvcn body knew from the beginning
tl.M llio JL)einocrut8 would all vote
."'i f everything, and tho responsi
bility lor defeat therefore lies with
tho seven Iiepublieaii! who voted for
acquittal, viz : .Messrs. Urimos, Fes
deiiden, Fowler, Henderson, J'oss,
Trumbull and Vran Winklo. The Son
ate hag passed judgment on Andrew
Johnson, and nothing now remains
tout f r the people to mako up tbeir
linn! judgment on the Somite.
The informal caucus of liadical Sen
ators last evening decided nothing
about tho order of business lo-day.
Tho managers had presented a pi
quant and important report in the
liouso, but it cannot be learned that
they nndertook as a whole to exort
ny ii Huence in favor of tho postpone
ment of the vote ia tho Senate.
So no of them wanted further delay j
oUi- r wanted a disposition ot the
matter at once. A great majority" of
the i?ptioiican senators were known
to f.ivor an adjournment, but several.
ineludmg Messrs. Conkling, Edmunds,
Ferry, Morrill, of Vermont, and Mor
ton, as well as tho seven gentlemen
w ho voted against the eleventh arti
cle, declared yesterday against such
a course. It was, therefore, impossi
ble to say last evening what would
be d'jne this morning. Impeachment
men outside of Congress generally
were for such delays, ag it would give
tho managers an opportunity to con
cludo their investigation, and tho im
pression was widely prevalent every
where that another postponement
would bo carried.
The result of the vote on the re
maining articles was also in doubt.
Messrs. Grimes, Fessenden, Fowler,
lleudorson, Trumbull, and Van Win
kle had printed their opinions, and it
was therefore known that they would
vote to support the first three articles.
Messrs. Ross and Willcy were tho on
Jy doubtful Senators. Tho latter had
said he was for the first article, but
declined to commit himself as to tho
second. Mr. Itoss had repeatedly de
clared ho would sustain articles one
two and three. That was twelve or
fourteen days ago, when ho also de
clared ho would vote for thoclevcnth
and since then ho had voted against
tho eleventh, and, the President's
friends had confidently declared he
would vote against the second and
third. There wero vague rumors,
however, of an interview with General
Butler, nd of a letter written home
to his constituents, coupled with hints
i'roiu leading impeachment men and a
report of recent conversations with
Win. Somo of tho moro sanguine
members of the House asserted that
he was alt right, and telegrams an
nouncing in most positive terms that
impeachment would bo carried were
sent from hero to Chicago. It was
evident that Koss held tho balance of
power, but how ho would throw that
balance today the outsido public
com a oniy noiio or leor.
It happened, therefore, that things
were in a goou deal ox. uncertainly
this morning. Tho questions every
where asked wero, would tho voto be
taken to-day, and how did Itoss and
W illcy stand ? Because of this doubt
or fur some other cause, people did
not go to tho Capitol as early as usu
al, i! ait an hour nelero tho Sanato
tmt, the galleries wero no moro than
ono-lourtli tilled, and even when the
JL'hief Justice took his scat at least
one-quarter of tho bunches wero va
cant. Tho arrangements wero simi-
lnr t) thoso on tbo day when the
Flovunth Articlo was put to vote
Thorn were policemen at eac h door of
tho entrance, at tho foot of every
euirway and in all tho aisles ol the
gallery, with small battalion of
ushers, doorkeepers and ticket-Inkers.
Thcto were two groat tables for the
managers and counsel in front of tho
clerk's desk and closely set rows of
enne-hottomed chairs in the rear of
iSiTiuinr'g desks, for the members
X 0..' House. Tho rules of- the Sen
ate kito not construed quite so liter
ally bi on some previous occasions,
tout it was useless to ask for favors,
and no ono got into the northern
wii; of tho eapitol without tho whito
card of admission. ,
. Tho Senate ch mherwas quiet
enough till just before noon, for most
of Jim Radical Senators were in cau
cus iu tho Vice IVosident's room. Mr.
Ii x "ii appeared early and inquired
ru rvo :slv of several persons if Mr.
Bay a i S, who was out of tho city for
a week, had yet returned. Mr. Wil-li-y
iiNii came in enrly and sat quietly
huii'iiii hour in his seat, Mr. Fdmunds
dropp.-d in after a while, and was at
on virrounded with a group of cor
real'!, lents, asking him if ho knew
wli.it the caucus was doing. Mr.,
tin ii v had reached tho Capitol, but
was reeling in his com mi It eo room.
Mr. Howard had also arrived, and
w.n in consultation with his brother
Iliiiiimls. Mr. linns sauntered into
tho chamber and begnn looking over
lii n,:.ll, evidently finding therein sev
c:ii i iwspaper'slips that in smno way
?ave him amusement. Mr. Saulsbury

VOL li-WIIOLE NO. 2073. CLEAKFIELI), PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 18C8. NEW SKRIES--Y0L 8, NO. -15.
The caucus was in session nearly
an hour, twenty-six members boing
present. Among tho absentees wero
(.'tinkling, Edmunds, Morrill, of Yt.,
Morton and Willcy, and of course tho
sovon .Republicans who voted against
conviction. It was conceded by the
majority of tho ppeukers that neither
of tho remaining articles could bo car
ried, that Willcy wus doubtful and
Koss lor acquittal. Two or three,
however, yet ullowod themselves to
indulge tho hopo that lloss might vote
for tho second articlo, und that it
might bo sustained if Wado voted.
Tho sentiment of over twenty mem
bers wero decidedly for postponement,
while Ferry und ono or two moro
thought tho matter had bolter bo dis
posed of at oneo. It was argued in
iavor of further delay that something
seemed duo to tho llouso, which wus
now making an investigation; that
tho inquiry there promised to develop
matters ol grave importance ; that it
would bo a good time to keep impeach
ment hanging over the President;
that the rebels in the South would be
emboldened tooutrageand bitterness,
if a verdict ol acquittal was ontered.
J lio conclusion ot tho caucus was
that an adjournment should be had
to Tuesday, 2Iid of June, and in caso
tins should not be carried a voto should
be taken on the second and third ar
ticles, alter which, if they wero lost,
tlio court should adjourn sine die.
I ho bo nators mostly came into
their chamber about ton minutes be
fore noon. Tho appearance of those
who had been in consultation did not
betoken a hopeful prospect for im
pcachmcnt. 'Ihcy gave out word
that four weeks postponement had
'been agreed upon. The galleries hoar
ing ot this supposed tho question set
tled, hut correspondents and others
who had been canvassing tho situa
tion saw that the vote on adjourning
would be very closo, while tho propo
ition stood 11 bare chanco of being
defeated. Tho crowd outside was not
so great as usual. Some scores of
persons waited in the rotunda and
balls beyond the southern doorkeeper,
hoping that something might turn up
to give them admittance to tho galle
ries. 1 hey worried members of tho
House who passed through for tick
ets; they seut cards innumerable to
Senators begging lor admission : they
eagerly enquired of every man who
possibly might know what were the
conclusions of tho caucus and the
prospects for conviction.
Thocourt opened promptly at noon,
with Mr. Manbory. ot counsel, and
Messrs. Boutwcll, Wilson, Dingham
and Jiutler ot the managers present.
There wero almost no privileged per
sons on tho floor, except half a dmscn
ex-members of Congress. Mr. Williams
spokesman of iho caucus, hurried m
with his preliminary motion lor ad
journment, but tbo Court kept itself
in hand and went through the us
ual form, sending for tho llouso and
reading tho journal of last day's ses
sion, i ho galleries wero about threo
fourths full, though twenty minutes
later every Beat was taken, llio day
being clear and warm there was u
great predominance of brigh' colors
throughout tho ladies gallery, end
the other side even presented a much
less sombre appenrnnco than usual.
As for tho audience it was largely
composed of persons who hsvo been
present nearly every day since the
trial began. Tho fickt system gen
erally secured a well dressed auditory,
but it easily fell into ruts, for it was
fur less troublo for Senators to give
and continue to give their tickets to
personal friends than to pass them
over to tho great public which regards
members of Congress as superior be
ings. Tbo diplomatic gallery was full
at un early hour, and it was noticea
ble) that, whereas on the former day
of voting it was occupied mostly by
the higher members of tho diplomatic
body, it was to-day principally held
by ladies and secretaries. Tho scene
on tho floor of the chamber during
the reading of tho jmifiial was, except
for tho presence ol tho House, hardly
less prosy than usual. Mr. Slaubery,
palo and thin, wearing an overcoat,
sat bolt upright at tho head of his ta
ble. Mr. Jiutler, on tho other side,
was tumbling a bundlo of papers, anil
because of near-sightedness, frequent
ly dropping bis line down umong
them. Mr. rcssenden leaned lorward
and chatted a few moments with Fd
munds. Trumbull sat lazily in his
chair, picking at that everlasting
scrap of paper. Wilson was clearing
out the druwer of his desk as usual.
and looking at numerous papers
Sumner was correcting the proof slips
of his impeachment, opinion. oolit
tlo and Iixon sat closo t- d.-r and
whispered into each others cars,
lioward was in his seat, apparently
as well as ever. Grimes, worn and
haggard, camo in with the aid of a
cane and a friend, and sat in an easy
chair down at tho right of the Chief
Justice. Keverdy Johnson evidently
thought tho caucus might huvo evil
designs on tho President, and there
fore Williams, its spokesman, needed
watching, baulsbury showed himself
to tho galleries by walking un nnd
down in his old fashion way behind
the outer ro'v of Senatorial chairs
Koss, the most sought for man in the
Chamber, sat most of tho time perfect
ly quiet in his chuir, looking straight
at tho Chief Justice.
At half past twelve, when tho jour
nal had been read and the prelimina
ry proceedings wero over, Mr. Will
iams again prosonlod his rulo rccind
ing all orders herotoloro made requir
ing a voto to be lakon in a particular
way. in tho courso or tho next hall
hour thres or four points of order wero
made-one clearly in spito or stupidity,
and ono so well founded that it could
hardly havo failed in calmer times.
The galleries didn't know anything
about technical mattors, and impa
tiently indicated that trey wan tin
them ruled out of court at onco. It
was not it i tlio u 1 1 to seo whero the
Chief Jnstico stood with respect to
most ol the questions, but ho wnely
concluded to submit ouch one as it
was raised to tho Senate without him
self formerly deciding. Tho result in
every instance wus that tho impeach
ment men carried their point by ma
jorities running from four to eight
The impeachment Itepublicaiis who
voted with tho other sido on these
points were Anthony, Corbett, Ferry
Fdmunds, Morgan, Morrill of Vt.
Patterson of'X. H., and Willoy. All
this was mere by-play of a serious
character to. he euro, but not involv
ing the main quostion.
Tho real struggle begun when the
clerk submitted Conkling's order to
voto on tho articles at oneo. Thin
was lost by two majority, tho voto
boing yeas 26, nays 1'8, the impeach
ment men who voted with thoothersido
being Cole, Conkling, Ferry, Morgan,
Morrill of Vt , Morton, Patterson of
X. II., and "Willoy. This proposition
being rejected, Mr. Morrill ol Malno
presented his order for an adjourn
ment to tho 2:id of June, which was
also lost by a tio voto of 27 to 27
The impeuchcrs who now voted in
tho negative were Cole, Conkling
Edmunds, Frolinghuysen, Fern-, Mor
rill of Vt., Morton, und Patterson of
.New Jersey.
At ten minutes beforo two tho rote
on the third article having been an
nounced, Senator Williams moved
that the Senate, sitting as a court of
impeachment, donow adjourn sine die.
The vote having been taken by
yeas and nays, tho Chief Juslico said
that beforo announcing tho vote, he
would remind tho Senators that the
2l'd rule provided that if impeachment
should not, in any article presented
bo sustained by a voto of two-thirds
of tho members present, a judgment
ol acquittal should bo entered, iie
added, after some interruption by
Senators, that if thero woro no objec
tion, the clerk would eTiter tho judg
ment of acquittal according to the rulo.
Senator Conkling misunderstanding
Iho proposition of tlio t hief Justice,
suggested that tho rulo required a
voto to-be taken on each article beforo
judgment could bo entered.
Tlio Chief Juslico assonted, but said
he had releronco simply to thoso ar
ticles on which tho voto had been ta
ken. Thero boing no objection the
duel J uslico directed judgment of ac
quittal to be entered on tho second,
third and eleventh articles of impeach
ment. The voto on adjournment sine die
was then announced, ycasy4, nays 10.
Tho Chief Justice tlien doclured, at
ten minutes beforo two o'clock, that
tho Senate, silting as a Court of Im-
iieuchment lor tho trial ol Andrew
ohnson on articles of impeachment,
stood adjourned without day.
lhero was no perceptible manifes
tation of feeling on the part of tho
spectators. iho members ot tho
llouse then returned to their chamber,
and the galleries wero iu a few min
utes almost deserted.
Mr. Anthony rose to a personal ex
planation, and stigmatized tho reports
in regard to tho Chief Justice endeav
oring to influence him in tho matter
ol impeachment as a mulignant false
hood. Mr. Willcy made a statement of a
similar kind.
Mr. Johnson contradicted tho story
in regard to dining with tho Chief
Justice in company with other Sena
tors.
Mr. Fessenden denied tho truth of
tho story in regard to a consultation
between him und tho Chief Justice,
and others in regard to tho formation
of a i.ew party.

"What do you think of impeach
ment?" said a gentleman to a Pudical
a night or t wo ago.
'Well, I'll tell you. It's liko a boy
who was digging alter a woodchuck
liko blar.es. A man who was passing
inquired: "Whut aro you doing,
boy ?" Diggin' for a woodchuck."
"You don't expect to get him do
you?" "Yes, sir-reo, by gosh 1 I
mud got Lim wo'ro out of meat !'"
Stand by lite did flag,
Thero seems to he disposition on
tho purl of soiiio woll-ineaiiing hut
wrong-thinking persons to insibl up
on the nomination of Judge Chaso as
tho .Democratic caodidato for the
Presidency. Once and for all wo pro
test against any such unwiso ami hu
miliating action ; und iu this we know
that we bhall bo sustained by ninety
nine hundredths of the entire Pumo
eratic party. AVo havo a feeling of
undisguised contempt for this move
ment ; and having battled for a lifo
timo for Pcmocratic principles do not
feel prepurod to aurreiider them to
moro "availability." may bo do
sirablo it is desirable -to break the
rauks of the opposition, and all honor
able means should bo resorted to to
accomplish this end ; hut far better
suffer defeat under our ow well tried
leaders, than achieve victory ut the
expense of tho chorished principles of
the Peniocrutic party. Wo respect
Judge Chase for his uiunly courso du
ring tho impeachment trial ; but thero
stands between him and the Demo
cratic party an impassable barrier j
one that wo do not feel disposed to
cross, even. if we could therefore we
trust that we shall hear no more of
this proposed utliliation with men
who, in Tears passed, have stood the
avowed enemies ol Democracies.
Is there a Democrat in the land who
desires to see tho treat Democratic
parly miscegenated us is the Pudical
party? Look at Congress.. Who are

convention in Chicago. Who con
ironed its organization, and niampu
luted its proceedings, und who wero
the most blulont of its members ?
lienegado Democrats and reeonslruc
ted Pebels, ull of thorn high priests in
tho temple of lludicalism. And who
is its Presidential nominee ? General
(irunt, once a Democrat, but now tho
pliant tool of Padicul fuctionisls.
Away with all such turgaiu-and
sale candidates. 1 he Democratic par
ly boasts hundreds upon hundreds of
men lilolong, earnest, high-toned
gentlemen men of markml ability
and unimpeachable integrity, whoncv
disgraced themselves or their party
by leaving it to consort wuii tlio har
lot ol Padicalism.
Wo feel humiliated and indignant
whenever a proposition to take up a
renegade, though re pen tun. J)emo
crat, is mentioned. If such men de
sire a plueo again in tho ranks of the
Democracy they must earn ithy their
good behaviour. Let them du pen-
unco lor tlieir sins lirst. Vt hen they
havo proven their faith by their works,
then, and not till then, shall they bo
entitled lolho honors which the over-
unxiotis parties ulluded to would now
accord to them. Our cause is ono
that needs not go begging for Presi
dential candidates. It is the cause of
tho people, and its champions have
won their confideiico as they will win
their sum-ages in November next
As soon think of hunting for sound
honest principles in tho Pudical plut-
form, us for a Democrat worthy to be
ourstnndurd bearer among renegades
Our candidates must bo men who
havo never sullied their fame by uflili

culism, who huvo never, by word or
od, loriuiicd their claim to tlio en
tire respect and confideiico of tho
great parly with which they aro ac t
ing. Wild Biich leaders we shall win
the day as certainly as that daylight
succcds night. These popularity hun
ters abandoned us when our parly
was under a skudow, when to bo a
Democrat was to bo stigmatized as a
traitor, when to utter Democrat ia
sentiments was lo Bubjcct ourselves
to arbitrary arrest and solitary con
fincmciit in Pudical basliles. That
duy has passed, and the shadows have
passed away. Democracy stands oneo
moro ns the great party of the people.
It has gone into battle scores of times
within tho past twelve months, and
victory has everywhere followed its
banners. Why, then, in tho very
noon-tido of proscrity and success,
shall it bo asked to dishonor itself,
nyo, and defeat itself, by chiming
doubtful candidates ? I'hii'a Jlcrald
Choosino Husbands. Whon a girl
marries, why do people talk of Tier
choice? In ninety-nine rase out of
a hundred, has she any choice? Does
not the man, probably the vory lust
she would havo chosen, select her? A
lady writer says :
"I havo been married many years ;
tho match wasconsideredu very good
one, suitablo in every respect, ago,
position and fortune. Every one said
that I had inudo a good choice I
loved my husband when I married
him, hecuiiso ho had, hy unwearied
assiduity, succeeded in gaining jny af
fections; hut, hud choice been my
privilege, 1 certainly should not havo
chosen him. As I look ut him in his
eusy chuir, bleeping beloro tho (ire, a
bilge dog ut his loci, a pipo peeping
out of ono of tho many pockets of his
shooting coat, I cannot but think how
(I i lie rout he is from what I would huvo
chosen. My first penchant was for a
fashionable clergy man; ho was a flut
terer, and cured but lit tlo for mo,
though I havo not yet forgotten the
pang of his desertion. My next was
a barrister, a young man of immenso
talent, smooth, insinuating manners;
hut ho loo, after walking, talking,
dancing, and flirting, lelt mo. Either
of thoso would have been my choico,
had I so chosen; but my present hus
band choso mo, and therefore I mui
ried him; and this, I cannot help
thinking, must bo tho way with half
the murriud folks of my acquain
tance." It is heller to hold a truth than to
spoali it ungraciously. i

Pel'erring lo tho fuct that General

ly ut tho door of his npartments, a
correspondent of tho Macon ((iu.)
Tcleyrtiph relates tlio following inci
dent of Generul Jackson's lust visit to
IS'ew Orleuns :
"Tho fatigues of tho day ended, the
old hero repaired with many of tho
citizens, to upurlments prepared for
him in that magnificent strticturo,
tho St. Louis Hotel. Tho captain of
un Irish company detuiled u stalwart

"'Only a seiiiiuel at your doar,

"I shull ever remember that look,
and the cxlamation, 'My God !' as he
strode up to tho sentinel with a man

" 'My good man,' said he, 'what are

" 'Tho cuptain placed mo here as

and turning to his guests, he contin

Bad Omens. However mankind
may seek to ridicule omens or deny
their significance, yet they impress
tho minds of all with a greuteror less
degroo ol 1'orco. When the "negro
purty" nominated its ticket ut Chica
go, a bird was let fly from tho upper
part of tho house in which tlio conven
tion sat to typify tho success of their
nominations the negro ticket wus to
fly over the course without opposition.
This bird was hardly on its wings bo
toro it fell to tiiogrouud wounded and
dead. A bad omen. When tho aris
tocrats and bondholders und shoddy
contractors who form the "Union
Leuguo," on Broad street, heard the
news from Chicago, for the first time
in the history of that spnwn of Yun
keo shoemakers and loyul shoddy ites
and renegade Democrats, they put
out a flag with Grunt's uamo on it.
To be over conspicuous, this flag wus
given to tho breeze across Broad
street. o sooner was it "out" than
tho winds ol heaven made a rent in it
right through the Union Jack, and be
foro night tho angry tdorm blew ll in
to pieces. Tho Flag of tho Union is
only safe in Doinocrutie hands, bo
causo the Union and the Constitution
can. only ho preserved by tho Demo
cratic party. Hero. then, aro two
hud omens. Tho negro purty is thus
doomed to-defeat by tho omens. Oh,
tho omens! Philadelphia J feral J.
Infm'knce or Happy Childhood.
Tho memory of early happiness is a
treasure-houso of sweet comforts and
consultations. Its purc,simple, earn
est joys become wells to draw from
whenever wo sit down in thirst and j
weariness by tho dusty highway ol
life. Of this ono good tho world can
never defraud us. The sunshine of
thoso days reaches across our little
stretch of life, and mingles its rays
with thoso that beam from the heaven
of our hopo. Tho actual present ot
tho adult life, and tho materials which
enter into it, aro mado up, moro than
we generally suppose, of reminiscence.
Wo runiinnto liko the kino. We lay
up in tlio receptacles ol memory
ubuudunco of undigested material,
that w o recall and appropriate to our
refreshment and nourishment; and
this process of reminiscence of living
over again grows upon us as we
grow into years, till at last it becomes
our all. Exhausted power has no ro-
Bourco hut to dwell upon its old play
and its old achievements. How sad
ho is who can never go back to his
childhood without a shudder! Who
can never recall a period when his
il'o was filled with sweet and simple
sati.-faetion 1
Bather Spicy. A lady, having been
invited to send in a toast to be read
nt tho anniversary celebration of the
Pilgrim Fulhers, furnished the follow
ing; it is spicy enough to flavor half
a dozen anniversary dinners.
" J ho '1 ilgnni fathers, lorsoolh
What had they to endure in compari
son with tho Pilgrim Mothers? It is
true, they hud hunger, und cold, and
sickness, nnd danger foes without
and within. But tho unfortunnto Pil
grim Mothers 1 they hud not only
thoso to endure, hut they had tho Pil
grim Fathers, also 2 and yet their
names aro never mentioned. Who
ever heard of tho Pilgrim Mothers?
Whoever writes songs, drinks toasts,
crmukes speeches in recollection of
them. This self-suflieiency of tho
men is beyond endurance. Ono would
ncluully suppose that New England
hud been colonized hy (ho men, and
posterity provided for by a special
providence."
Tho New Haven Ji'egistcr says the
"burying of tho hatcliet" by (Jen.
d'rant ami llutler is denied. Tbo re

"A Dictionary of tho Bible !" If
ono reflects how much of theSciip
turcs is history and biography, nnd
how much relates to the geography of
the East, and the manners and cus
toms the social and national life of
many peoples ho will seo that no
man can bo an intelligent render of
the Bible without such a help as this.
Possibly tho Sabbulh School Teacher
has thought himself equal to his work
without such an aid. But if so, Jic
has greatly misapprehended his duty,
nnd done injustice to his pupils. There
aro families (unfortunately too many)
where purents and children read and
study the Biblo without such a help
to its interpretation. A school room
without a Comprehensive Dictionary
of our lunguago its words and their
meaning would be no more unfurn
ished than a homo without a work
like this.
Thero have been numerous Bible
Dictionaries prepared, but this of Dr.
Smith's greatly excels all others pre
senting tho results of tho ripest schol
arship and latest research, so largely
and so luminously that ho and his as
sociates have cenferrcd a measureless
benefaction upon tho religious world.
Tho edition us announced above, by
Messrs. Burr k Co., is tho reprint,
without a singlo omission, of tho
Abridgement of Pr.Smith's 3 volumes
and costly work, made hy his own hand
for families and Su'ubath ScLool
teachers. Every person and people
and pluco; every allusion to manners,!
customs, utensils, weapons, modes of
lite , forms of worship und idolatry
strifes nnd wars everything that one
can wish to know about in the Bible-
is included in this invuluublo work.
This reprint, by Messrs. Burri Co.,
has important excellencies, rendering
it superior to any other, nnd making
it just tho thing for the family and
teacher. It is in its external charac
ter, its type, binding, und especially
in its numerous wood and steel engra
vings, "a thing of beauty." It is a
reprint of Dr. Smith's Abridgement
without any mutilation. It gives the
proper names (of hich thero aro hun
dreds) with the American and not the
English pronunciation. There is a
very wido difl'erenco in this respect,
and it is obvious that a Biblo Diction
ary for American households and Sab
buth Schools should accentuate its
names according to our oirn best lex
cogrnphers, else thoso who study it
will be contracting a mode of pronun
ciation obsoleto and not accepted by
good usago and intelligent people
Wo uro much gratified that Messrs.
Burr A Co. huvo not lallen into a mis
tuko in this respect, but with a saga
ciaus intelligent and wiso regard for
tho Christian public,havo furnished in
so beautiful and so cheap a form,the Dic
tionary of Dr. Smith, modified in its
pronunciation to meet tho wunls of
tho American nnd not tho English
public.
We can conscientiously commend
this trork, possessing so much artistic
intrinsic cxeellenco. AYe wish it
might find a placo in every family of
tho land, and, beside tho Bible, shed
its light, and yield its explanations,
and tell its story to tho student, young
and old, of God's word. Agents here
havo u rare opportunity in cavassing
for a work of such real, permanent
and indispensable value ; they cannot
but lind most remunerative employ
ment. It is cheap, compact, compre
hensive, nnd should go into every
American household.
Tho Impeachment, failure has nearly
killed Old Thad. iSte.-ens; yet, it is
evident ho never had much faith in
the scheme. In a speech on the I'd of
March, ho said of his eleventh articlo:
"It is worth all tho others put to
gether." And in tho same speech
ho said : "If witlioutthatarliclo they
' do not acquit him, they are greener
" than ever I was, when I commenced
" to practico at tho Court of (Quarter
" Sessions."
"Orimcs is dead," said tho N. 1.
Tribune of Saturday beforo tho voto
on impeachment. Hut on Tuesday
ho was alivo enough to attend tlio fu
neral, and put an extra screw in the
other party's eoflin. We suspect that
