The word " trial" Carries wilt ' the' idea of clear inveitigation. When a judg is impeached,. tile Mouse of .Representativ s has to find ' the hill . of im peachment, and the'Senate; has, to try , the judge, under the most solemn Amnia and cer emonies, and it • requires two thirds of the. Senate-to convict. These formalities are not required in the case of an impeached member —and t refer to them only to enfOrce the suggestion that,, in the . absence. 'of these pre- Scribed forms, as the :character of a 'member of Congress, and all that pertains ,to him,* is as srtcred as.a judge the more is the duty of Congress to give the inculpated member all the chances that in more formal tribOnals are secured to'aliiilge., Sir, perhaps I hive already said too much.

House but a moment: . , Suspicion insome Shape or other is insep arable from , the human, understanding, it is MD . intel*Oven With the , mySterious action of the brain that all: men are more ur less Swayed by it. The misfortune is, tliat, as, some nice are constituted, suspicion assumes the shape of certainty, for the mind ; laves to leap at it conelusiOn ; thousands' in all ages of the world have fallen the innocent victims,of suspicion. I know nothing that tends so to degrade the huinan Mind as sus picion. • But as the presence of snspicion in some minds is at evidence of weakness and vacil lation, so the absence of it in others indicates a noble nature. What is se glorious as the unshaken confidence of a friend ? Take one example : when Alexander was sick, his physician mixed a potiott for him.. The Bing was admonished- to 'beware of Philip, for that the dose might be poison. The hp ro sent for his physician, and saia to,him, as he held the mixture in his hand : " Philip, they say that you have, prepared poison for your King. 1 will drink itl' and sek,., swal-. lowed the draught. There,' sir,.you see the solid adamant of anun suspicious mind. To me, there is nothing in the 'battles of Alex ander in greatness of glory at all equal 'to the heroic, fortitude displayed in this' simple incident. When ages become so old hereaf ter, and the history of the world so volumi nous, that the whole career of Alexander shall be eompresscd into a single page, and -when the , mames evtin, of his, battle-fields shall be forgotten, posterity will;stillcling to this story, which se strongly illastrates the glory of a constant and unshaken ;mind. • • Now, take a contrary example, in one said to be of a "noble.nature ;" one whci, even as a hero,i" had done the state some service." Take the Moor of Venice, "perplexed in the c,xtreme,," and listening, with ready and even greedy:ear, to the slanderer, whose mysteri ous words stir up suspecioa in his hear: " Be tsars of Cassio.' Bewildered and `blinded by the vague hints and whispered innbendoes of a pretended friend, this noble Moor, as he is falsely called„, goes abopt foatnina at the mouth, 'gnawing his lips, tearing his hair, - and beating his breast, all tor suspicion ! And sir, how a thing of darkness 1011 grow in the . dark ! What can swell with the ra pidity of a shadow except, a, shadow', itsell ?

Others oppose it from a notion of edonomy,supposing that all money expended fitr education—es pecially if not dtreetty for their own children —ls so much thrown away.. Such apparent ly forget that ignorance is generally- the par ent of crime; that thwcriminair who annual ly destroy such va4 amounts of property as well as of life , and whose conviction and pun ishment cost the public so much, are 'for the most part uneducated ; and that Wit; quite as cheap to maintain schools as jails and pris- ons, besides being ninth more agreeable and beneficial to all concerned., , The general intelligence of the people is recognized by our wisest statesmen as the only firm basis of our_ free institutions; and when the Pilgrim Fathers built school hous es almost as sookas they could clear space to set- them, they evinced that wiNdom requisite. for laying the sure foundation of a great and free commonwealth. We believe that what! ever convulsions or 'revolutions the people of this country may be called upon to pass throl,_ while the free masses of the North are eduev.. ted and capable, of *thinking for themselves, no human power can ever permanently de price them of their liberties. • And could the . poor whites of the South,forming as they do large majorityof the white population of that section, understand the causes . of their pov erty and degradation, 'as they would if educa ted, they would soon achieve their independ ence by overthrowing 'the kyston that en slaves them. . But our purpose was merely to call atten tion to.the.matterto be acted upon by the Convention nest Monday, and to the general importance of the subject; and we may be permitted to conelud 'aby quoting (as expres singour own opinions) the folloWing from the Montrose Demurral of last week : "B.

We. understand that he is a candidate for re-elec tion. It will he the duty of the convention to consider whether the purpose of the - law . , would not be partially defeated by selecting a new, man for the office, every three years. A man who has served in this capacity must , necessarily have much valuable experience.' We make these suggestions with no dispos ition to dictate to the convention, - but for the purpose of calling attention to the subject, and awakening a spirit of inquiry." :gr An able and earnest metropolitan or. gan of Republicanism, has long been a desid eratum. - in Pennsylvania.. The Philaqelphia North American,' though able, and tepub. !lean in prinliple, is the organ of the c&nmer. cial interest's' of that city - ,.and therefore not so well calculated fur general circulation in the country as a journal more specially devoted to the advocacy of Republican principles would be. But we are happy to be` able to say that a paper , has recently been established in Philadelphia which will supply the defi ciency so lung felt, and which, if properly sustained by the Republicans throughout the State, may be expected to exert a powerful influence in favor of the principles of freedom. The paper referred z to is the Philadelphia `Times,' the prospectus of which appears in our advertising columns. 'The Times' will be found a bold, able, and devoted advocate of Republican principles, and as such we com mend it to the patronage-of our friends.

C. T. A Book from . Governor Geary. The Chicago Tribune has the following statement. We presunie the ' , informant of that journal is Gov. Gorman, of Minnesota : "We are told by a Democrat of unques tioned faithfulness to his party,himself a Gov ernor, that in a bite. conversation .with Gov. Geary, he Jearned that thatgentleman is pre paring from his diary, fititliffillv kept diming his administratiod, a summary of events in Kansas, as they-came under his Own :person al or official observation. 'We are told by the . same authority, that iif:that book, when it is given to the country, the allegations of the Republican journals in relation to the fiendish atrocities practiced upon the free State men, by their Bordeilltiflian invaders, will be not.only confirmed, .but 1114 proved. It Will be SUtted that duringa trip un a much frequented road, soon after his arriva in the territory, the Governor saw the bodies of twenty-six murdered free State men. Some o f these had b e en shot or brained,-and thrtiwn out by the roadside to rut under the iturniult sun. Others had been: scalped as .Indians scalp their victims. One was pinioned to. a tree by a bowie knife driven through.his heart into the solid wood at his back, on his breast was fastened a written Warning tt, all other " Abolitionists." Some were buried just be neath the prairie sod, their -hands and arms left sticking out the shallowdtoles . into which they had been thrown. Upon other s ; the nameless mutilations of private parts, which characterize the ferocious joy of - the Indian; in the moment,of.victory . ,liad been commit ed. In all cases, brutality- :seemed to have :exhausted itself in insulting *hat, among all civilized men, whether frjend'or foe, are look ed upon with respect—the bodies of the dead." We shall look for the work referred to a bove with °much interest: Even the • North ern Doughfaee papers, with - all their subserv iency to the slave-breeders, acknowledge that Governor Geary's statements are entitled to credit ; and if he comes out and confirms the accounts of Border Ruffian outrages that the aoughfitces have denounced_ as" Black Re publican lies," the deceived among the shatit Democracy .may at last havetheir eyes open ed, provided their organs publish the Gover nor's statements, as their is some prospect of their doing. But we fear that before the Governor's book appears, we shall hear him stigmatized b3' these same papers, like - Gov.' Reeder, as a traitor to • the Democracy, and quite unworthy the belief of the faithful.
