"BOTTOM: The great events of the- put . , fortnight almost over wheloied the public mind . here.' The presi of people at the Capital, the threats of rougha - and bullies that they would clean out the Congers, the wild rumors of military interference, and the thousand and one causes of excitement, concurred to bring about a state of feeling seen ,eiyen in the past seven years only on or= miens of some greet rejoicing on the part of patriots over a victory for oar arms, or some great outbreak of rage on r tit=x o t n ot e the Presidenmilar iits.'a Bat-ther present dread point -of danger was nobs the noise or turmoil of the crowd; not in "the thunder or in the tempest," but in “the stiliamall voice"! The great repub lic, tossed like the ocean in a storm, saw ogly. the play of _ genius, heard only the sound of eloquent speech at the tapt toL -In the silence of one small room, however, where not ten men were prat. out, and but two of them actors-in the scene, the attempted coop d' seat of An . drew Johnson was detested.

Be meted on his own - responsibility; he coolly defended his own and the people's rights and dignity, and by sheer force of pluck stood up alone against the tyrant, until the Senate, at half-plat nine in the evening of - Friday, came morally to his rapport.' But even after that, and until this hour, the position tpp held by actual occupancy.
