Eleetion, Tuesday October 13, 1868.
The Chicago Convention.
The white and black delegates met last
week to nominate candidates. Grant was
named for President ; and on fifth ballot,
Colfax for Vice. Wade's chances died
with impeachment. The nineteen votes
for acquittal stripped the convention of
that enthusiasm which gives evidence of
a hope of victory; but that was replaced
by vengeful speeches in reference to the
seven " traitors to the party."
Two conventions really met though
made up of the same material. That
called the Loyal League met first, adopt
ed a platform, advocating, to its fullest
extent, negro equality, impeachment, and
vengeance upon the Senators who acquit
ted the President. It also asked for
Grant's nomination, with that of some
" undoubted Republican" for Vice
The same men then met in open con
vention, spread the violent platform upon
their records, framed a new one based up
on similar doctrines, but in a diluted
phraseology.
Duplicity is thus made the leading fea
ture of the canvas on that side; to which,
and the platforms generally, we propose
to give special attention in our next.
That such a ticket, thus made, deserves
the defeat that awaits it, will be apparent
to fair minded judges.
Corrupt Influences.
The Radical admissions that they sought
to impeach the President for party reas
ons, and the open attempts to influence
the votes of Senators, brand the proceed
ing as a flagrant outrage, and those ac
tively engaged in it as criminals, legally
subject to punishment for the crime of em
bracery. Senators sitting as a Court of
Impeachment are like unto jurors in our
courts.
"The crime of embracery, which is an
offense against public justice, consists in
attempting to corrupt, instruct, or influ
ence a jury beforehand, or to incline them
to favor one side of a cause in preference
to the other, by promises, persuasions,
threats, entreaties, letters, money, enter
tainments, and the like, or by any other
mode except by the evidence 'adduced at
the trial, the arguments of counsel, and
the instructions of the judge,"---[Green
leaf on Ev. sec. 100, vol. 3—Blackstone,
etc.
As soon as the Radicals found that a I
party vote could not be polled for im
peachment, one Schenck, chairman of the
Radical committee, sent dispatches all
over the country, saying there is "great
danger to the Republican cause, if im
peachment fails ;" and asking that influen
ces be sent in upon the Senators. Here
was a direct request that a crime be com
mitted ; and vigorously have shameless
partisans attempted to coerce the votes
of Senators. All forma of entreaties and
persnasions,,promises of everything, from
fat offices down to their good will, threats
of all sorts, from assassination to expul
sion from the party, have been lavished
upon Senators; but, thus far in vain.—
Then the case was adjourned to concen
trate the whole national influence of the
party at Chicago upon the Senators who
deny that party spirit should cause them
to perjure themselves by voting to con
vict. No concealment is made of the acts
constituting the crime of embracery; and
many leading Radicals are not only guilty
of a great moral wrong, but are clearly li
able to be indicted and punished for un
mitigated violation of the criminal law.
far Grow and his radical State Com
mittee passed resolutions "demanding"
that the Senate should convict the Presi
dent; but it was not done. What will
Galusha do about it ?
lair After failing to corruptly coax or
drive the Senate to convict, the impeach
ers are kicking up a dust about alleged
corruption in the acquittal; but they re
fuse to let any one have a hand in the in
vestigation but themselves. This is one
of the evidences that it is a false cry to
break the fall and cover their own sins.
ljar The radical report of a riot and
attack upon Impeacher Logan, and others,
at York, Pa., when en route to Chicago,
is a most unmitigated falsehood. Thy

Impeaclithett 4 •
As we announced in our lait, the teat
vote was taken on Sattitday, May 16th,
on the eleventh article, as it had been
found that more votes could be obtained
for that than any,other.
The vote upon changing the order and
voting first on this article stood 34 to 19.
The article was then read. It charges the
President with saying in a speech that this
was a Congress of only a part of the
States; with wanting to get Stanton out
of office; with opposition to the Radical
reconstruction act. The vote was then
taken on the eleventh article of impeach
ment, and resulted as follows :
Yeas—Messrs. Anthony, Cameron,Cat
tell, Chandler, Cole, Conkling, Conness,
Corbett, Cragin, brake, Edmunds, Ferry,
Frelinghuysen, Harlan, Howard, Howe,
Morgan, Morrill of Maine, Morrill of Ver
mont, Morton, Nye, Patterson of New
Hampshire, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sherman,
Sprague,Stewart, -Sumner, Thayer, Tip
ton, Wae, Willey, Williams, Wilson and
Yates-35.
Nays—Messrs. Bayard, Buckalew,
Drxox, Doourrt.R., Fessenden, Fowler,
Grimes, Henderson, Hendricks, JOHNSON,
McCreary, NORTON, Patterson of Tennes
see, Ross, Saulsbury, Trumbull, Van Win
kle, and Vickers-19.
The yeas are all Radicals.
Of the nays, eight were elected as Dem
ocrats; four (in small caps) as Republi
cans; and seven (in italics) are Radicals.
Before the vote was announced, a Rad
ical moved to adjourn for ten days, which
vette not taken. The roll having been
read by the Clerk, the Chief Justice arose
and announced the result in these words :
" On this at tit le there are thirty-five Sen
ators who have voted guilty, and nine
teen Senators who have voted not guilty.
The President is therefore acquitted on
this article."
The motion to adjourn was then re
newed.
Senator Hendricks submitted, as a
question of order, that the Senate was ex
ecuting an order already made, which was
in the nature of and had the effect of the
previous question, and the motion to ad
journ otherwise than simply to adjourn
was not, in order.
The Chief Justice—The motion that
when the Senate adjourn it adjourns to
meet at a certain date cannot now be en
tertained, because it. is in process of exe
cuting an order. A motion to adjourn to
a certain day seems to the Chair to come
under the same rule, and the Chair will
therefore decide the motion not in order.
Senator Conness-1 appeal from the de
cision of the Chair.
,The Chief Justice put the question and
atrectea the clerk to read the order adop
ted today on motion of Senator Edmunds,
as follows :
Ordered—That. the Senate do now pro
ceed to vote on the 'articles, according to
the rules of the Senate.
Senator HoWard called for the yeas and
nays on the question whether the deriten
of the Chair should be sustained.
The vote was taken and resulted, yeas
24, nays 30 ; and the ruling of the chair
was nut sustained.
The motion:to adjourn to the 2Gth was
then adopted, 32 to 21.
The object of this adjournment is well
understood to be to bring the pres
sure of the Radical Convention held at
Chicago to bear upon the Radical Sena
tors who voted against the eleventh arti
cle, and to compel them to vote for con
viction upon some of the other articles.—
This is the last resort of the conspirators.
If they fail in thus and then intimidating
the recusant Senators, their whole scheme
for securing_ the perpetual supremacy of
the Radical' party through fraud, &gni
suffrage, usurpation, and military despo
tism, will not only be defeated but fall to
rise no more ; and they, the infamous
plotters and actors against the peace,
prosperity and happiness of the . people,
will go down to eternal infamy.
Five Impeathers offer to Sell their
Votes for $40,000.
The impeachers, in their pretented in
vestigation of attempts to corrupt Sena
tois, examined Edmund Cooper of Ten
nessee, assistant Secretary of the Treasu
ry, and a special .friend of the President.
He swore that be knew of but one at
tempt at corruption. Two radicals, one a
brother in law of Senator Pomeroy of
Kansas, called upon him and proposed
that Pomeroy and four other radicals
would vote for acquittal for 840,000 and
the federal patronage in Kansas. They
had a note from Pomeroy agreeing to carry
out the bargain, if closed. Cooper declin
ed to buy,, and those gentry voted "
Such coMption is not what Ben. wan
ted to expose, and it will be bushed up
as far as possible.
—The New York World says that Mr.
Clarence L ogan, . of Philadelphia, just re
turned from Savannah having observed
the election there, has made a statement
that in one ward in that city several ne
groes weze supplied by a wag with labels
of" Costar's rat and roach exterminator"
and voted' them as' ballots. Some of the
very inteliigent suffragani,miticing.a cut
of a rat on the supposed ballots, asked
what it mew. They were told it stood
for the " ratification of the constitution."
They wondered; believed; votOd.
Voted for Impeachment.
Illinois has one Senator (Yates) who
voted for impeachment; but according to
abundant Radical testimony he did so
without having heard the evidence as to
Johnson's guilt or innocence. 'The. fol.
lowing quotation from the Chicago Jour
nal (Radical) is a specimen of °therefrom
like sources :
" Our private dispatches fl•onl 'Wash
ington are to the effect that Senator
Yates entirely neglects his duty in the
Senate. He is intoxicated nearly all the
time, day and night, and unless he chan
ges his course soon, or resigns, the Senate
will expel him. e has not been in his
seat since the opening of the impeach
ment trial, and on several occasions his
vote would have decided important ques
tions. if he will not resign the sooner he
is expelled the better. Illinois will be
fully represented in the Senate when the
final vote in the impeachment trial is ta
ken."
Such denunciations had the desired ef
fect ; Yates published a letter agree
ing to do better and to be on hand
when his services might be particularly
needed by his party. On the test vote he
voted for impeachment; but not having
heard the evidence, his vote proves that
he merely acted with the party pro
gramme under threats of expulsion. Are
not such votes evidence of perjury ?
Radical Defeat Predicted.
Last week we quoted Dana's predic
tion that the defeat of impeachment would
ensure the certain defeat of the Republi
can party this fall.
Impeachment being ; dead, we now add
the predictions of Thad Stevens and For
ney, that the Radicals can carry but. five
small states. Thad Stevens said :
"If the President is not convicted, the
Radical 'candidate will carry but two
Northern States—Massachusetts and Ver
mont."
Forney's papers alleged that
"Should the Senate of the United
States fail to convict Andrew Johnson on
the accusations of the House, not tin-dee
toral vote, with the exception of the vote
of West Virginia, Missouri and Tennes
see, will be given for General Grant in the
Southern States next November."
Thus three leading Radicals affirm what
may certainly be expected—that Grant
and Colfax will be badly beaten.
Mr. Harlan's Opinion on the Right of
Removal.
The following is the copy of an official
letter addressed by Hon. James Harlan,
when Secretary of the Interior, now U. S.
Senator from lowa—to a promtnent-gt,
tleman who remonstrated with him
against making a removal in his depart
went :
DEPARTMENT OF TI I E INTERIOR,
July 3, 1865. }
I have deemed it to be my privilege to
make removals in this department, and I
shall do so in the future without admit
ting the right of any one to call the pro
priety of my course in question. When
Mr. Smith became Secretary of the Inte
rior he at once sought and obtained the
appointment of those whom he personally
Preferred for his assistants and associates.
I have been doing the same, and expect
to continue to do the same. Success as
an executive officer requires it. •Any oth
er course would be suicidal. This official
rule of right should prevail from the Pres
ident to the smallest executive officer hav
ing control of subordinates. The Presi
dent should not appoint or retain a Cab
inet Minister who is not his personal
choice fur the position ; and according to
my views, a Cabinet officer could not in
self-respect remain in office after' becom
ing satisfied or having reason to believe
that be was not the President's personal
choice. The same rule should majntain
between the heads of bureaus under his
supervision. Yours truly,
JAMES HARLAN'.
—ln the face of this record, James Har
lan, as Senator, to serve party ends stul
tifies himself by voting not only to retain
Stanton, but that Johnson was guilty of a
"high crime" for wishing to do what Har
lan claimed was an indispensable right!
Was there ever so gross a violation of
justice and honor as in the attempt to im

"Demands" for Conviction.
The insolent and criminal manner in
which Radical politicians sought to co
erce Senators into giving a verdict not in
accordance with the law and facts, is il
lustrated by the following telegram re
ceived by the Kansas Senators :
LEAVENORTH, May 14.
Kansas has beard the evidence, and DE
MANDS the conviction of the-President.
D. R. AsrrsoNY and 1,000 others.
Senator Ross responded as hereunder :
WASHINGTON, May 10.
Gentlemen : I do not recognize your
right to demand that I shall vote either
for or against conviction. I have taken an
oath to do impartial justice according to
the Constitution and laws, and trust I
shall have the courage and honesty to vote
according to the dictates of my judgment
and for the highest good of my country.

cannot reconcild myself to the incivility of

trouble of seeing them and of saying to
them, that the question being in the line
of the law, I had desired you to give them
the explanation necessary. My text of
explanation would be this : The Presi

It is clamored by a thousand radical
tongues, and dai'y asseverated in all their
public journals, that the President is bound
to execute all acts of Congress, whether
they are constitutional or not; and that
until they are adjuged void by the Su
preme Court, it is a high crime for him to
make any distinction between acts con
sistent with, and acts repugnant to, the
Constitution. This absurn pretence has
been again and again explotb dby argu
ment, and never perhaps with more
strength and clearness than by Mr. Ev
arts in his admirable speech. But exam
ple,ls more impressive than doctrine; and
as Jefferson is revered as one of the most
patriotic of our Presidents, it is preposter
ous to call that a crime in Mr. Johnson
which was esteemed an act of public vir•
tue in him. Jefferson be!ived the Sedi
tion law to be void for repagnance to the
Constitution and he so treated it, not
withstanding that it had never been set
aside by the Supreme Court.
In Duane's case, President Jefferson,
instead of ordering a nolle prosegui, might
have left the prisoner to his natural line
of defence in arguing, by his counsel, that
the law was unconstitutional; and if the
Court below decided against him, apeal
ing to the Supreme Court. But Jefferso
took a different view of his sworn duty to
preserve, protect and defend the Constitu
tion." Believing the law to be an in
fringement of the Constitution, he treated
it as completely null at every point where
he came into official contact with it, think
ing himself under no obligation to wait
for the opinions of the judiciary. If
therefore, President Johnson has commit
ted a crime, President Jefferson commit
ted a much greater crime. Mr. Johnson
merely intended to put things in train to
get a judicial decision; Jefferson held an
unconstitutional law in too much con
tempt to suffer it to go into court.—
World.
rgr Thad Stevens, the ruler of the
House, on Monday last, gave his opinion
on the subject of perjury :
Mr. Ross—l ask the gentleman from
Pennsylvania whether, in his opinion,
Senators would be justified in perjuring
themselves for the purpose of procuring a
conviction of the President?
Mr. Stevens—Well, sir; I do not think
it, would hurt them.
rgr The radical papers say that Sena.-
tor Ross, of Kansas, waited on Ben Wade
on Tuesday, for the purpose of explaining
the good effects of his (Rosa') vote on
the eleventh article. Mr. Wade ordered
the Kansas Senator out of hie rocw with
the request never to speak to him again.
Poor Ben ! 4t
4to
Thad. Stevens Blasphemy.
Thaddeus Stevens said in the course of
peech on the impeachment trial, that
Johnson's treason to the Republican par
ty was " baser than the betrayal by Judas
Iscariot, who only betrayed a single indi
vidual."
How THEY JUDGE ONE ANOTHEE.-Ev
ery radical politician you meet says the
seven Republican Senators were bought.
They judge them by themselves. They
know that, had they been Senators, they
would only have been anxious to have
their virtue jested. Like 'Byron's ladies,
their.first tittestion would have been,
" When does the ravishing commence?"
Out of Neat.
The Chicago Tribune, the great Repub
lican organ of Illinois, tells the truth when
it, says the Impeachers are likely todefeat
their purpose of conviction of the Presi
dent by their greed for office. They nev
er had any other purpose than plunder,
and we give the evidence from their own
lips. The Tribune says :
"This ring, in its zeal, has not had the
decency to wait until Wade was Presi
dent before they have selected from their
own number a Secretary of the Treasury
in the new Cabinet, under whose auspices
the Republican party will be converted
into a mere rnanuflicturer's association to
plunder the public.
"If impeachment shall fail, and the
I great criminal escape ejectment from the
White House, the country may thank the
' office hunting" friends" of Wade who had
parcelled out his patronage, and that
Eastern ring who had whetted their teeth
for a deeper bite into the flesh of the peo
ple. Still we shall hope for the convic
tion of the wretched apostate, notwith
standing the alleged defection of Fessen
, den and others. Unless more than six
Republican Senators can be found to vote
against impeachment, Johnson will be re
moved."

A Charge Which Recoils.
A silly editorial apnears in the New
York Tribune of Saturday, charging that
the reported illness of several Republican
Senators at Washington, was caused by
their being poisoned by the friends of the
President. It asserts that poison is a fa
miliar weapon with the Democracy at
Washington, and one which they use
whenever there are any Republicans to
be got out of power; citing the following
illustration as' proof thereof :
In 1856, Mr. Buchan:lc was raised to the Executive
Chair, and under his administration—as in that of his
predecessor—Washington was free from malaria—that
Is for Democrats; but when the Republican party be
gan to gain strength, and it was posslnie that they
ruleht become the manna power in Congress, the water
of Washington suddenly grew dangerous, the hotels,
tparticulaily the National became vest houses, and
dux •ns of heretics from the Democratic faith grew sick
unto death."
Unfortunately for this blockhead's ar
gument, the "National Hotel disease"
broke out at President" Buchanan's loan
guration, instead of when " the Republi
cans became the ruling
,power," and Mr.
Buchanan himself was attacked by it,
while one of his nephews died from its ef
fects. Therefore, as the Tribune thinks
that disease had a sinister origin, and was
designed to kill off those in authority, it
must be of the opinion that it was caused
by Republicans with the intention of de
st royin7 President Buchanan and other
Democrats; a suspicion which was enter
tained by many at the time, but we were
rot prepared to find the Tribune wiling
to acknowledge that it was justified by
the fact. •

"I am not disposed to cast reproach
