IMPEACHMENT—AND ITS ENEMIES.
- The xesult of impeachment is partially.
revealed. The Senate, on Saturday, tcchni
dilly acquitted the President on the eleventh
article, -by a vote of 34 to 10. the charge
failing to secure a two-thirds vote in its fa.
vor: No other articles were voted on, the
1 Senate then adjourning to the 26th instant.
1 As the eleventh article was considered the
most certain of adoption, several Senators
who finally voted against it having assured
their former Republican friends that they
I would support it, it first taken up as a
test of the sense of the Senate and of the good
faith of the individual Senators referred to.
They proved false to their personal honor,
' as well as to their political affiliations and
to the demands of the country, and ensured
a technical decision that AznanEw Jt unsex
has been guilty of no impeachable offense
as charged in that article. The remaining
articles will doubtless be disposed of when •
the Senate again assembles, but there is no
probability-that a conviction will 'follow on
any of them.
_
We accept the result as a Constitutional
release of the accused from that charge. Our
opinion of his guilt remains unchanged.
The Senate nearly two to one has affirmed
it and the country will regard it as estab
lished to a moral certainty. Why it has
failed of a Constitutional ; declaration, in a
body which has been hitherto regarded as
composed of ' forty-tWo Republicans and
twelve Democrats, is a question upon which
commentary is proper, and, indeed, due to
the great party which elected this over
whelming majority of the members. The.
vote by which Messrs. Fouler, Fessen,den,
Grimes, Henderson, Itosi, Trumbull and
Van Winkle separated themselves from their
former political associates, challenges and
receives the severest scrutiny of A disap
pointed and indignant people.
Three of these Senators, FOWLER, FES
SENDEN and TRUMBULL, voted, on the 13th
of January that the President's reasons for
the suspension of STANTON were insufficient.
Three of them, Ross, Tnumnura. and
VAN WINKLE, voted, on the 21st of Febru
ary, that the President bad no power to re :
move Mr. STAtvrox and aPponit TutritAii
ad interim. ,
Two of them, FESSENDEN and"Trams r
BULL. had, without ixpressly declating,that
they should vote for the impeadinient which
the Rouse had brought - . in consequence of
the votes in 3 - winery and February above
cited, steadily, up to. Monday last, • ericoui,
aged the belief among 'their most intimate
Republican associates, that they would, in
_their verdict, sustain the position which
they had thus taken as. Senators. -
Four of them, FOWLER, HENDERSON,
Bose and VAN Wrrixfa, 'had,.6l'l varlotre
occasions during the trial and since the ' ar
guments close d , given theif Personal, ex
plicit assurances to Republican friende, that
they should vote for Conviction on this
eleventh article. '
Of all the seven, Mr. GRIMES alone has,
from the first, made known his hostility to
impeachment, and declared his intentibri to
vote for acquittal.
It is apparent, therefore,' that these men
have falsified their Senatorial redirds, have
alihonored their persenal engagements,
have become recreant to their political faith,

rect Participants in tho most gigantic frauds
upon the revenue, colluding with th 6 mann
facturersrto screen rascality in the Revenue
Bureau, to stifle investigation and to divide
the enormous profit among the partners.
..• This "ring" is said to include the Presi
dent, hntide_of- Departments, Senators •and
Congressmen. The change of administra
tion to result front a conviction, would have
'swept the rascals out of office and broken up
the most stupendous scheme of plunder
which ever flourished In the Treasury. Of
course, a change . would be prevented if
money could buy votes. It is known that
money has bought them, and that the Presi
dent could have had more if he needed them.
We hav i e the names of Senators, who were
not needed to make up the Nineteen of last
Saturday, who vyould have come, if called
upon, to the rescue of their business-part
ner at the White House.
Thus, political intrigues, official corrup
tions and personal dishOnesty have accom
pushed a result which a much abused peo
pie are invited to accept as a conscien
tious verdict, of high-minded Senators inca
pable of political or personal influence and
shaping their votes only by the pure dictates
of Justice. How long will this country
submit to be thus robbed, disgriaced, abused
and destroyed? , And is it not high time that
the pure and patriot*. Republican party
should declare its divorce from such meu
and their apologists?
THE PLEI 4DES OF TREACHER I
Treason is the highest crime of a civil
nature man can commit; it is the most de
basing which stains the soul. The man who
betrays the confidence of his fellow men,
abuses the sacred trust with which charged,
proves false to the principles of troth, honor
and honesty, arid not only debauches his
own name and fame, but declares himself ,!
an apostate unworthy recognition or place
in the world. Much worse is the man who
calmly barters away, for much or little
filthy lucre, the time-honored principles he
has held, and deliberately sells himself, his
conscience and actions to - the enemy,—aye,
ten thousand times worse is he than the
traitor who clings to a theory and hoists the
banner of revolt to try by force of arm& to
establish that which he wrongfully deems a
righteous cause. • It was treachery defying
!the authority of an Almighty God which
drove myriads out of heaven into the bot
tomless pit. It was a betrayal of trust that
drove Adam from the garden of delight and
entailed, even till this day, upon his poster
ity the mark of an Omnipotent Being's
Wrath. , It was a wicked betrayal Thick
drove, in terrible despair, Judas Iscariot
from the side of the Saviour of Mankind,
and turned the shining, blood-stained silver
reward of his perfidy into burning coals
to crisp his conscience even unto the
ignominy of self-destruction. The annals
of history are darkened with the black deeds
of the betrayers of principles and govern
'lents, and fram away down in the shadowy
past, come up in all their freshness, te.excite :
one universal echo of execration, tidings
of the infidelity of those who lived on God's
earth to betray their fellow men. Modern
times present additional names to the odious
list, for "history repeats Itself."
All countries have those amongst their citi
zens superstitions enough to* believe in the
significance of seven as a number. Signitl
ing "to fill," events and disasters have sin
gularly Mid coincidently been made conform
to its opinions character. America has now
'her memorable seven. The seven Senators
who, occupying high place in the counsels
of the nation, enjoying the confidence of an
entire people, and charged with the per
formance of a grave and extraordinary
duty, cowered, flinched and betrayed the
loyal masses by declaring the innocence of
a perfidioeS President.;; ; Here is America's
` E mma to the roll of the world's betrayers:
/ 1. The treachery Of EDISIIND O. ROSS, of,
Kansas, was wholly unlooked for. Repro
renting the great and growing young State
of Kansas, where a love for Republican in
stitutions has . been so tenderly eheriahed
and notirished, he has blackened, his n ame,
with odium and stands before the a
renegade and traitor worthy the detestation
of those enemies to his country whose pur
poses he has so Num) , served and those
friends whose confidence he' ! has de
bauched. Is it not singular that, 14 a o i di .

his term will not expire until 1871. It is
possible that he will be so overwhelmed
with the ignominy that he brought
_upon
himself by his base betrayal, that he will
yield to the voice of his constituents and
resign the high position he has disgraced.

in 1808. He will wake up like Ids illus

THE DUTY Ole DELEGATES.
Republicans, in their National Council this 1
week, will, we are confident, exhibit
fresh proof of their meritorious title to the
confidence of all true friends of the Union.
They will not be found wanting in sympa- t
thy with the honest indignation which stirs
the depths of the popular heart, nor in a wise
recognition of the imperative duty of dis
owning all responsibility for the treachery
which has aimed, with deadly intent. a
stroke at the party's life, but, 'thank Heaven!
fell short of -its purpose.
Since many of these delegates left their
homes for Chicago, the fears which had
been previously entertained have been fully
realized in the consummated treachery at
'Washington. Deep as was the interest and
stern as was the indignant sentiment with
which their constituents regarded the possi- 1
Unity of a betrayal, we assure the gentlemen
now at Chicago that they have carried with i
them but an imperfect apprecihtion of the ,
feeling which, on Saturday 'afternoon and .
since, pervades and burns in loyal hearts
throughout this and 'other,. States. What
we knotv of Pennsylvania, we have good I
reason to believe of Republicans elsev)here.
/ad we say to the delegates that the usurpa..
tions and crimes of the Executive, detesta
ble as they are, are held to be insignificant
Ins comparison o.4o.Personal diShOnor,..the_
offiial duplicity and ,the •political faithless
ness of the seven recreant Republicans who
havO sold themselves to save the great' crim
inal from his merited puni: +lim i t.
The loyal masses of the people demand of
the delegates the highest official expression
of their condemnation for treason in any
deptirtment of the Government. It is de.
mended that the Convention shall place'the
Republican party. Folemnly •on cord not
only as detesting an- usurping * resident,
but as disowning its fellowship for ver, with
the renegades who, by a corrupt cquittali
against law and evidence, have betrayed
their country, their 'pink . 'aid their. Sena:
torial oaths for a price,- and, so gilding' a
-treble guiit, should be expelled from public
,
confidence forever'as' partiipan in file
crimes which they have abetted fter the'
fact. Such an expression is the plail est duty
of the delegates. They will know , ,how to
perform it, wisely and Satisfactorily. .

A - Chief Justice who is capable of per

We have always regretted that the Phila
delphia Convention of 1866 did not more
perfectly accomplish its work. The proper
result of that abortive intrigue should have
been the complete purgation of the Repub
lican party. Instead of merely sloughtng
off Doomprt.E, Dlxosi and a few others of
less preeminence, with here and thfre a Jour
nal or two, we would have been made
rich by the loss of all that was Unsound in our
organization. That wretched fiasco had the
effect of but a partial relief for Republican
ism, and we have .since continued to be
afflicted with a set of bread and butter Con
servative politicians, and about a score of
newspapers, none of which are capable of
fidelity In a pinch, and all of them elements
of weakness and disorganization. Even
some who were Inclined to follow their na
tural 'instincts and desert us, have since re
mained clinging to the verge of our party,
or, to change the figure, caught hold of
loose ropes and have since dragged at the
stern of the Republican ship, just keeping
their heads above water and bawling
for hap to reach the quarter deck. It is
this sort of gentry who have`the "cheek"
to offer their advice to the party at this
juncture, who clamorfor Senatorial integ
rity, who gravely lament the perils of Radi
calism, who are oracular as to our political
duty, and who are so noisy for GRANT that
simpletons who forget their past history
might believe them sincere. As to all these
fellows, we are, quite content, for •our own
part, to be plainly understood. We want
none of their counsel or their cooperation.
We beg them no longer to afflict the Repub
lican party with their' presence. We ask
them to go, and not wait to be kicked over
board. The traitors and their apologists
are alike offensive to us. Their room is
better than their company. We prefer, if
need be, a minority on principle to a ma
jority made up of such treacherous and un
sound rubbish.•
Let us be thankful for the prospect now
opening before us that the new party, to be
organized by CHASE and the whisky-ring,
will recruit largely from those fellows who
have plagued us, and let us also hope that i
this week will give to the party a National
,platform rugged enough to hurt beyond
cure the feelings of such Conservatives as
may remain, and so complete their expulsion
and our own purification.
