It is not a declaration of principles or a creed of political faith, but a mere series of untimely attacks on the nitnt. Concress, and ildUlUUO) UV v those who are actively engaged in pre&erv ing the Union. It is a mere negation, more remarkable for what it does not say than fnr riifit which it does say for what it omits than for what it contains. No in '.oricmcct of Andrew J ohnson is con twined therein. Nothing is said in favor of protection to home industry. No apology is made for the gross insults offered by previous conventions to the loyal sentiment rmmtrv. No retraction is made of their former declarations that the history o the war is but "debt, slaughter, and dis crrnce." No disapproval ot the famous Chi caeo-surrender plank is hinted at ; and not a word is said against tne reoew, wuue w Radicals are denounced without stint. But. let this suffice for the present. W tn the resolutions at some future nui v w day. Needless Alarm. Soine Republican aannfrs manifest concern lest the Office """"f-r . - . Tenure Act, after the consummation ot nn oaoTimont. shall be found an embarrass ment. We do not share in this anticipation Bv the express terms of the Constitution the Senate is made to participate in the ap rtnintinz power. It is authorized to give "advice" beforehand, and "consent'' after wards, if it shall see proper, in the case ol every removal or appointment. A strong tsnnm nrevailfd for thirty years to ignore this rightful prerogative of the Sen ate ; to make the President an imperia pWtftd for & term ot years ; ana to make all placemen under the Govern thin dangerous ground to the solid basis of Republican ideas and habits. Chief Justice Uuase. At the morn ing session, on March 4th, the speaker laid ' before the Senate a letter from Chief Jus tice Chase, relating to the rules for the gov ernment of the Court of Impeachment,over which the friends of the President have been quite jubilant The letter simply states that, in the opinion of the Chief Jus tice, the Senate, which by the Constitution resolves itself intoaCourt of Impeachment. should not, as the Senate, make the rules by which the court is to be governed that the articles of impeachment .should be re ceived by the Senate before it organizes the court, and that the court, when organized, should make the rules for its proceedings. All this having been so done, thero will be no further need for Copperhead quibblings, or rejoicings over the letter of Chief Jus tice Chase. An Unwarranted Insult. The Tre.si-- dent, at the request of the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee of New Hampshire, di rected Gen. Grant to order Gen. Sickles to report to Gen. Hancock for duty, under his rank as Colonel. This is to withdraw him from the canvass in New Hampshire, where he is doing so much damage to Johnsonism It is well known that Gen. Sickles ranks Gen. Hancock, and will not take the inferi or position. It is said he will resign if this order is insisted ou. This action of the I resident is a downright insult to the gallant bickles. jp. ajjk. ui mr. aae a Washington correspondent says: "He is conducting himself admirably. Office seek ers and toadies already begin to pester him witn tneir attentions. He declines to speak upon impeachment or its possible results. lle 8ai(i to an intimate political friend this morning that if anybody supposed he covet ed a place to which he was not elected, it was a great mistake. "A man would be a great fool," said Wade, "to desire such a place under such circumstances." A FACT.

The bondsmen of Jefferson Davis were re leased from further reliability, last week by order of Judge Underwood. ' A Warning Unheeded. When two years since, apprehensions be came general that Mr. Johnson, owing his election as Vice President to the Republi can party, but epeedily promoted to the highest po.t by the assassination ui ia chief, was about to betray the friends of the Union, numerous appeals ana emrwuuiis were addressed to him, publicly and private ly, by good men from nearly every section of the land.

In Western Pennsylvania he is already recog nized as a leader of that peculiarly virulent school of Democracy whose conspicuous ex ponents are Pendleton, Woodward, Uymer, Black, and men of that namp the cold, tinlishp.i haters ot our tiovemiiient ana cause. . On the ticket he represents his par ty, the officer from the Kescrves being ap- uended merely as a cruise a decorous blind a decoy. Mr. Boyle isfrom Fayettecounty and has committed himself very volumi nouslv and unenuivocally in the State Leg islaturc ; and should any Democrat whose faith is nure and undefined feel squeamish in regard to voting for the candidate who has served three years in the army, he can be pacified with choice extracts from the speech es of the crentleman who heads the ticket. Colonel Ent's nomination, as the vote dis closes, was clearly an afterthought, brought about by the urgent solicitation of certain prominent Democratswho disclaim the name of politicians, but do the work, who strenu ously argued against the inexpediency of needlessly slighting the soldier and loyal ele ment of the country.

On Wednesday, March 4th, another forward step was taken towards the impeachment of the President. Mr. Bingham, on benalt or tne com mittee, presented the formal indictment against Andrew Johnson, at the bar of the Senate, before which body be is to be tried for high crimes and misdemeanors. Efefy available space in the galleries and on the floor was occupied by spec tators, at an early hour, in anticipation of the proceedings. One o'clock, the appointed hour for the presen. tation of the articles of impeachment, having ar rived, the doors of the Senate chamber were flung open and the committee of managers linked arm-in-arm, two by two, and followed by nearly all the members of the Ilouse of Representatives. en tered. Messrs. Bingham and Boutwell led the procession; tnen tolioweu cuiier ana wuson, then Williams and Logan and then Stevens, sup ported by a friend on either side. , The proces sion halted a moment on entering the chamber, when the Sergeant-at-Arms announced to the Chair, "The managers of the impeachment en the partof the House of Representatives." Mr. Wade from the Chair saluted the committee by repeat ing the same words. The managers then march ed down the aisle, and seated themselves in chairs provided for them in front of the Secretary's desk, Messrs. Bingham Boutwell, Stevens and Logan to the left of the presiding officer, and Wilson. Williams and Cutler to the right. The members of the Ilouse who had come over, and all hadoome except the Democratic members, filled the lobbies to the right and left, and a few eatei- ed within the bar, took what vacant seats they found and made themselves quite at home., Mr. Colfax, the Speaker of the Ilouse, was compli mented, by being invited to a seat on the right of the Speaker of the Senate. The President pro tem. rapped his gavel, and ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms, who stood clo.-e by, to make proclamative that the managers of the impeachment were ready to exhibit articles against Andrew Johnson at the bar of the Senate. The order was promptly obeyed. I- Mr. Bingham immediately rose and unfolded what looked like about two quires of foolscap pa per, stitched into book form,iroin which he pro ceeded to read the articles of impeachment. His voice was firm, his reading slow aud measured, and every wcrd be uttered was audible in the re motest part of the chamber. The galleries listen ed with marked attention in which respect they were quite in. contrast with the floor. To the Senators and members present, it seemed like a thrice told tale. They bad heard it all be fore. The managers stood up during the reading, except dir. Stevens, who resumed his seat after standing about five minutes. The old man smiled pleasantly at the allusion to him in the citation from the President's St. Louis speech, contained in Gen. Butler's article of impeachment. At the conclusion of the reading the managers took their seats. The President pro tim announ ced that the Senate would take due notice of the impeachment, and inform the House of Repro sentatives when it was ready to proceed with the trial. Managers and members then returned to the House, and the Senate resumed its legislative business. ; Later in tbe day, a committee of threa was ap resoive iiseu into a court of impeachmeut. Thprsdav, March 5th. Another big jam at the Capitol, and another important step in the pro gress ot impeachment. At 1 o'clock, promptly, the entrance doors of the Senate Chamber were thrown open, and the floors and galleries are hushed into keen expec tancy, a moment later the Chief Justice, easily recognizable in his judicial robes, enters, acoom paniea Dy senator Fomeroy on his left, and fol lowed by Judge Nelson, who is in plain citizens dress, and walked arm-in-arm with Senator Wil son. Mr. Wade, in the chair, immediately raps tne gavel, suspends legislative business, announ ces the resolution of yesterday for the organixa- tion or tbe court, and vacates the chair. The Chief Justice with his escort walks down the aisle to the desk of the Vice President, behind which be stands and say.; "Senators, I am here in oh. dience to Tour notice for the purpose of proceed ing with you in forming a court of impeachment lor tne trial of Andrew Johnson, President of th United States. I am jdow ready to take the oath."

Mr. Howard rose, and said he could tee no dis tinction between Mr. Patterson, who was connected terest in the result of the trial. ine resuitot tne objection was a general debate wnicn continued until a late hour, when the Sen- A t A AfliniimArl trk tka Inv i k . , j . . u. j navinp completed the organisation of the Court of im peachment. Fridav, March 6th The crowd at thecaDitol to-day, was even greater than heretofore. One o'clock, the hour set for the meeting of the court of impeachment having arrived, the Chief Justico, in his judicial robes, entered bvone f the side doors. Mr. Wade announced that the hour had come for the Senate to resolve itself in to a court of impeachment. Mr. Wilson took his seat. Mr. Wade left the chair, and the Chi.f Justice promntlv filled it. There . i.-i. - augllli rustle of attention, a short panse, and then the Chief Justice said : -The Senate will please come to order." A motion was then made to postpone the fur ther consideration of Mr Hendricks' objections to Mr. Wade's admission as a member of the court until the other Senators were sworn in; where upon tbe Chief Justice said, "The Senator from Connecticut is entitled to the floor." Mr Dixont who had commenced a speech tbe day previous rose to proceed, when Mr. Howard interposed a point of order. Mr. Dixon, however, was deter mined to make his speech and went on. Several other points of order were raised, but Mr. Dixon still goes ahead, by permission of the presiding officer. An appeal was then taken from the deci sion of the Chief Justice, but the Senate, by a vote of 24 to 20, having decided in favor of the Chair, the debate was allowed to go on, and Mr. lHxon concluded bisBpeech. Mr. Hendricks then rose and, after a few. re marks, said he had concluded to withdraw his objections to Mr. Wade being sworn. The oath was thea administered to Mr. Wade and the other remaining Senators. The Senate being now fnlly organised as a Court of Impeachment, the Sergeant-at-arms made the necessary proclamation : Hear ye; Hear ye; all persons are command ed to keep silent while the Senate is sitting as a high crturt of impeachment, for the trial of An drew Johnson, President of the United States." At the suggestion of the Chief Justice, the rules previously adopted by the Senate, were a dopted for the government of tbe Court of Im peachment. The House was then informed of the organisa tion of the court. The managers on the part of the House then appeared, and through their chair man. Mr. Bingham, asked that Andrew Johnson, the President of tbe United States, be summoned to appear before the court of impeachment to an swer to articles which they were ready to maintain. Mr. Howard moved that a summons be issued and made returnable on Friday. March 13th, and it was so ordered. The Court then adjourned, and the benate re sumed its legislative session. Satirdavt, March 7 The summons of the im peachment court was issued to-day. ani served on President Johnson, personally. It is said he will appear by counsel and ask twenty days t prepare for trial. The court will likely not grant more than ten days. The Democratic Convention. This body met in Harrisburg, oh Wednes day, March 4th,and nominated C. K. Boyle, of Fayette county for Auditor General, and Oen. W. ll. rait, ot Columbia county, tor Surveyor General. Geo. Ii. Woodward, m. R gler, Asa Packer, and Isaac Heister, were elected delegates at large to the Copperhead Nation al Convention. Geo. W. Cass and W. V. McGrath, were chosen as Presidential electors at large, with one Representative elector from each dis trict. The following resolutions were adopted as the platform of the party , to wit : Resofvfd, That the happiness of the people and tne preservation and continuanc of our power, as a Republic, depends upon the perpetuity of the Union and tbe preservation of the Constitution; and' the prompt restoration of each and all ot the States to the enjoyment of tbeir rights and func tions in the Union is essnetial to our progress, to our prospei ity, and to the protection f our liber ties ; and radical legislation is the sole brrrier thereto 2. That the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law ; it is binding upon the people and upon every department of the Government, and it is the highest duty of those in and out of official place to yield implicit obedience to all its provisions until it is changed in the manner pro vided therein; that the recent attempts of the Legislative branch of the Government -to usurp tne power or tne fexeeutive and to destroy tne in dependence of the Judiciary, are deliberate at attacks upon the plainest provisions of tbe Con stitution, in utter violat ion ot its spirit, and tend ma nianuia in congress nave wrung v I ixpio enormous sums ot money, which they have squandered in reckless extravagance; v laxanon is ui-aevieed, incongrous ""'uit, aim mey nave mismanaged the large revenues thus obtained ; that rigid economy in every branch of -ihe pubhc service, a decrease in the number of officials, reduction in the army j auu a iciurm in loo mode ot tne col leo tion of the revenue are imperatively demanded, na oniy ny mese means can a reduction in the mount 01 taxation now imnnund ik. j.i... trial and manufacturing fhterestj be attained and the paymentf our indebtedness be assured . 1 oat tne republican party is responsible to Southern States to their just relations in the U Dion, and lor the government of their people by military rule ; that the purpose of these measures is to perpetuate Kadical nower fh "'.""""' uegroes. ana tnat these are tbe great r..iu-.j v.uat: ui mo present prostrate condition of productive industry in all its departments inat in enacting the tenure of offioe law, the Iegis.ative and executive branches of the govern ment, each for itself, had the rirht constitutionality, and that, in bo exercisTne the rignt, tne executive was but obeying that portion of his oath which requires him to "preserve.

We6t Virgi nia has been laboring under the incubus of an inefficient and treasonable judge. He chose to violate the law by admitting those to practice in the courts who were prohibited by express enactment, and on account of their having given aid and comfort to the rebellion. Judge Hindman, like Andrew Johnson, calculated upon the leniency of the representatives of the people ; but both have calculated without duly weighing the fact that the lessons ot battle are quite too fresh to allow every sacred interest wrung from armed dissenters to perish by inaction. The Legislature of that State took the un ruly J udge to task. They saw in his con duct the old leaven of treason at work, and with a commendable promptitude, whilst they observed all the rules of a fair trial, de posed him from the seat 1 e had disgraced. They resolved that the judiciary, at least, should be free from the taint of treason. In this they have acted wisely. For an enemy there can affect more disastrously the vital poiuts of society than in any other. Even a crime may be made plausible by receiving sanction from a corrupt court. Violating Pledges. All the political advices from the Pacific lead us to infer that the Copperhead party of California is in "sore travail." The secret of their success in that State was due te their loud promises of reform, and to Republican mismanage ment. Had principlebeen the basis of their action, the Assemblymen, when elected, would have gone harmoniously to work, and speedily effected what they had so fairly proposed. But the rush for place, and the consequent distentions outside quickly con taminated that body, so that their usefulness has not only been impaired, but "what to do with the spoils" has become the subject that most engrosses their attention. One faction charges knavery upon the other. The tend grows more and more mtene, and has narrowed down to the war and anti-war rec ord of the fragments. The antagonism is complete and cripples every project of the majority in the Legislature, ho noticeable has the detection become that the press and the people are calling for some redemption of their pledges some evidence of their good faith. That body is not able to respond. but in paralytic helplessness simi ly sits and sits and sits. General Hancock has written a letter in reply to that of General Grant revoking his order for the removal of certain members of the-City Council of New Orleans, in which he repeats the reasons heretofore civen for his action, but pays he will promptly obey General Grant's orders reinstating the Coun cilmen, though he thinks the public good will not thereby be advanced. The deposed officials have therefore been restored to their places, and Hancock retains his place. his threats to resign if General Grant inter fered with his administration to the con trary notwithstanding. Governor Ward has returned to the New Jersey Senate the joint resolution with drawing the consent of New Jersey to the proposed Constitutional Amendment, arti cle 14, with his objections. The Governor says the resolution has no validity ; the rat trier action can be taken bv the Stat. n cept the matter be again submitted by Con gress for the ratification by a sufficient num ber of States ; and therefore.
