Natural Affinity. .
The Democratic candidate for Governor
-of Virginia, Robt, E. Withers, was the
Colonel of the 18th Virginia (rebel) regi
ment, in the late war, and Gen. Walker,
the candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
served as a Brigadier General, at one time
commanding the "Stonewall Brigade."
Thus, all over the country, rebels and rebel
sympathizers are selected as the Democratic
Standard-bearers, and the whole power of
the Government would be placed in the
hands of these men who were defeated in
the field, if the leaders of the Peace-Democracy
could have their way. They have a
natural affinity for rebels and traitors, and an
equally natural antagonism to all who wore
the Jblue,' unless, perchance.some Union sol
dier curses his country and repents of his
patriotism,when they fondle, caress, beslime
him with their filthy praise, and, possibly,
reward his treachery by making him their
candidate. " Angels have fallen and become
devils, so too, it is possible tor a man who
has fought gallantly for his country, to fall
and become a copperhead. But if he does,
he falls lower than angels ever fell.and finds
more despicable associates. In comparison
with such men as constitute the tvu KJux
Klan, the inhabitants of the lower regions
are respectable. .
A Traitor Judge.
-, The developments at Washington during
the past few days, have brought to light the
reasons that influenced Chief Justice Chase
in laboring eo industriously for the acquittal
of Johnson, lie was called upon.on Satur
day.by Welch, of the Philadelphia Age,&ud
Frazier, a Revenue Assessor, to know if he
-would accept the '.'Conservative" nomina
tion for President, to which he responded
etor It is evident that, with Johnson and
the recreant Senators, he is intent upon
organizing a new party of . which he is to
be the leader and prospective President.
It is time ' that his treachery to the Re-
nnrtlirein t,rtu Wna fvrw-isfii iT Vinq dnnf
more than any living . man to procure the
acquittal of Johnson, in consideration of
which the influence of the administration is to
"be thrown in his favor for President. The
cabinet is to be reorganized, and the whole
power and patronage of the Government is
to be used to enhance his prospects. It is
a precious scheme, and only waits to be over
whelmingly and indignantly repudiated by a
.betrayed and outraged people. ) ;
- ; Got What He Deserved j
. On Thursday evening Sam. ; Randall,
Copperhead - Congressman from Philadel
"phia, accosted Gov. Hamilton.of Texas, who

ing, "Are you Gov. Hamilton?" He said
.be was, when Randall replied, "you are a
scoundrel." , Hamilton at once knock
ed him down with a cane, and subsequently
punished him so severely that he had to be
taken to his rooms in a carriage. The in-
. suit was wanton and unprovoked, Gov.
Hamilton never even having been acquaint
ed with Randall. Samuel run against the
wrong customer, and got just what he de
served. His countenance will be in mourn
ing for some time to come, from the "black"
ofT a pair of genuine Black Republican
'fists.
, . Always a Unit.
Throughout the Impeachment trial, the
Democratic Senators never once varied in
their votes. While the Republicans, split
nn. come voting for one thin? and some for
s- a J
another, the Democrats were always a unit,
and always for the President. . They had
prejudged the cause of the people, long be
fore they were sworn to try it by the law
and the evidence, and every vote they east
during the trial was a partisan vote, in ful-
cilraent or mere previous promise to acquit.
They were not troubled by conscientious
scruples, nor did they by thus voting betray
either their principles or their party.
FAITHFUL. Senator Srrague has done
ihnself honor. He has not only discharged
bit whole duty by voting for the conviction
of a false and recreant President, but has so
voted on other questions as to demonstrate
to those who marked him down doubtful,
ihat he has his own opinions and dare main
tain -them, however they may run counter
to the supposed interests of his father-in-law
the Chief Justice.
"A strange calf must have jumped into
the Journal $ pasture, last week." Repub

Perhaps so. The week before there was
a stray "sheep" in yours smelling around
'The Battlc,tfae Battlefield, and the Candi
date." - '
The Infamous Seven.
Seven traitors have been added to the list
of the world's betrayers, and the names of
Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold no lon
ger shine pre-eminent in the annals of treach
ery.' Seveti Senators,, occupying high posi
tions in the counsels of the nation, trusted
and honored by the entire people, and charg
ed with a grave and responsible duty, upon
their fidelity to which depended, in a great
measure, the prosperity and welfare of the
Republic, have betrayed the confidence re
posed in them, bartered away the principles
they professed for a consideration, and pro
claimed themselves traitors and apostates in
the face of the world ! The men who have
thus violated thoir solemn pledges, proved
recreant to their political faith, and plunged
the country again into the disorder and peril
from which it was so rapidly emerging, can
never be forgiven by the party and people
they have so shamefully betrayed. Here is
the list of renegades who will henceforth be
soorned and despised by all honorable men :
1. Edmund G. Ross, of Kansas. His
treachery took the party and the country by
surprise. Frequently during the trial, and
since the evidence closed, he gave the strong
est personal assurances that he would vote
for conviction. On Thursday last he pledg
ed himself in writing that he would vote for
four articles, including the eleventh. To a
man of honor such a promise should be
equally biuding with his oath, but both oath
and promise were disregarded by this de
bauched wretch, whose treachery has over
whelmed the loyal people of Kansas, and
aroused a storm of indignation that will
sweep him from the Senate he has disgraced.
Lane, whom he was elected to succeed,hung
himself. After such a betrayal, he ought
to go and do likewise.
2. William Pitt Fessenden, of Maine.
He has no excuse for his infamous conduct.
He knows he has misrepresented his constit
uents who have piled honors thick upon him.
nis name, once honored, will hereafter be a
svnonvm for baseness and treachery. He
ought to resign the position he has disgraced
3. LymjCn Trumbull, of Illinois. On
the 14th of January he voted that the Pres
ident's reasons for the removal of Stanton
were insufficient. On the 21st of February
he voted that the President removed Stan
ton and appointed Thomas in violation of
law. Yet, in the face of this record, in vi
olation of the principles he professed, in
betrayal of his plighted word, and in disre
gard of his oath, he voted for acquittal. He
has covered himself with infamy. Hereaf
ter he is to be classed with Copperheads and
1 arvra o
4. James Grimes, of Iowa.'. He is in his
second Senatorial term, and has betrayed a
hundred thousand of as brave and loyal Re
publicans as are to be found in the land. He
is dead dead to all sense of honor dead
politically so that he is a stench in the nos
trils of all honest men. Let him be buried
out of sight, among Rebels and Copper
heads whose olf actories are accustomed to
the rotten smell of treason.
5. Jous B. Henderson, of Missouri.
He pledged himself to vote for the eleventh
article or resign his seat. He violated alike
his pledge and his oath betrayed alike his
country and his principles for a price. , It is
a matter of congratulation that his Senato
rial term will end forever, ou the Fourth of
March next.
6. Peter G. Van Winkle, of West Vir
ginia. Like Trumbull he had voted that
the President violated the law in the remov
al of Stanton and the appointment of Thom
as, and like the same wretch, in the face of
this record, he prostituted his vote to per
sonal and selfish ends. On Thursday he
finished a written opinion in favor of con
viction on three articles, and showed it to
several Senators. On Saturday, casting his
opinion aside with his oath, his pledges.his
conscience and his character, he deliberate
ly took his place in the ranks of treason.
7. Joseph S. Fowler, of Tennessee.
He held office under Johnson when he was
Military Governor, and now aspires to be
his son-in-law. He had repeatedly assured
the other Republican Senators that he would
vote for conviction on the eleventh article.
When he rose to deliver his verdict he was
so much embarrassed that the Chief Justice
had to put the question a second time. No
wonder he shrank from the consummation of
his everlasting disgrace ! He is a double
dyed villain, for he was clamorous for the
impeachment of Johnson, declaring that so
long as he was not impeached Congress was
responsible for the blood of the Union men
of Tennessee and the unreconstructed States.
Such is the list of names added during the
past week to the rolls of the eternally infa
mous. The bartering away of principles,
oaths, characters, and constituents for a
price, is a species of treachery that makes
even the treason of Jefferson Davis and his
rebel cohorts respectable. The Infamous
Seven will go down into history, branded
with a mark more indellible than that of
Cain, to be ranked forever with the Iscariots
of the world.
T m6 Aree thasand coffee-colored loyal
ist, will control that State (Ohio) no lon

That depends solely on whether Demo
crats can continue to use "coffee-colored"
naturalization papers.
A Western paper, in an obituary, speaks
of the deceased as having been an "exten
sive Democrat." He must have been one
who voted "early and often.'!.
"Sweet William" as "Grand Instructor."
The Republican lately published a - lead
ing editorial entitled "The Battle, the Bat
tlefield, and the Candidate, in which, we
thought at the time, George was decidedly
below his ordinary level, the article being
exceedingly puerile, and wretchedly written.
It turns out, however, to v have been the
production of "Sweet William," and hav
ing been prepared for a wider field than
Clearfield, it has been sent to the various
Democratic papers throughout the State,by
that distinguished individual, with a re
quest to "copy.'' Among others, the
"Clinton Demociat" received a "circular,"
and complied with the request by printing
the article among its advertisements,-and
tVen commenting upon it, as follows :
"In another place in The Democrat of to
day will be found an article with the above
caption, from the Clearfield Republican,
published at the home of ex-Gov. Bigler
and W. A. Wallace, chairman of the State
Democratic Committee.
The article in question we take to be
from the pen of Mr. Wallace, inasmuch as
that gentleman has been kind enough to
furnish the Democratic press of the State,
with a copy in circular form, with a request
to publish.
We incline to the opinion that the chair
man of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee would very much like to control the
action of Pennsylvania delegates in the Na
tional Convention, provided, he was entirely
certain what the general result would be. To
be explicit, and without intending to do the
distinguished gentleman an injustice, it re
sembles an attempt in the dark, to place
somebody hors du combat, and at the same
time deliver the blow in such a manner,
that, failing to accomplish its purpose.room
is left for explanation and subsequent'recon
ciliation. Now, then, we desire to ask the party or
parties most intimately concerned in this
matter, what good result is expected to be
realized from this covert attack upon one,"
(Pendleton) "whom every indication points
to, as the unanimous choice of fifteen great
and populous States? Is it true, as report
ed, that the chairman of the State Com
mittee has been coquetting with a "conserv
ative" delegation headed by one Edgar A.
Cowan, and in the interest of a certain ma
jor general, and pet, protege and friend of
Johnson, beward & Uo. . . . Contusion to
cowards say we, and shame upon those who
requite party services by cowardly deser
tion, and at a time, too, when a bold move
is the safest, best and truest policy.
If time-servinz. weak-kneed politicians,
with their timorous, vascilating truculency
to policy and treason to principle, are to con-
troi tne ueuoerauons oi me new iwk. vuu
vention.then indeed will the country mourn
in sack-cloth and ashes, the cowardice that
betrayed the cause of constitutional liberty
and self government into the hands of jaco
bin assassins, whose total defeat and exter
mination was badgered away by so-called,
'A Specimen Brick.'
The following extract from Brick Pome
roy'a paper the La Crosse Democrat now the
favorite organ of the Clearfield Democracy,
we give as a specimen Lruk:
"Do you blame us when we say that God
was just in sending John Wilks Booth on
that dark Good Friday night, three years
ago, the darkest and gloiwiicst in American
history, to strike the traitor down, and lib
erate the white freemen of America from
the yoke of a despot. God is just He
struck the tyrant Lincoln from existence at
an hour when the country could no longer
bear the burden of him.
What a vile wretch this Pomeroy must be
to write such blasphe mous stuff, and what
equally vile wretches those must be who en
dorse it? The Almighty the God of assas
sins ! There, is no telling to what an ex
treme of blasphemous folly modern De
mocracy will bring men.
"Failure" , . '
. "Impeachment is a failure," exclaim the
happy Copperheads. "The war is a failure"
they exclaimed in 1864, in Chicago. But,
with Grant leading the Union forces, the
rebel hordes were compelled to lay down
their arms, and our flag floated in triumph
from ocean to ocean. So it will be again.
This week the hero of Vicksburg once more
unfurls the Union flag in the very city
where the war was pronounced a "failure"
and when the sun goes down on the 3d of
November, his last rays will gild its bright
folds floating in triumph from one end to
the other of the land.
How He Was Acquitted.
The following cool, deliberate, and villain
ous proposition is from the Neto Ynrl-Wn1.7
the chief organ of the Democratic party :
--xuere are fourteen Radical Senators whose
terms of office expire in 1S69. Beyond that time
they are sure of no political position; so far as
thej know now, they are certain of no 'payinir
place ' Surely as many as eight of these men
would far rather be sure of a million each in hand
than to wait for the uncertainty of a J5.000 offico
by and by. Let us buy their voter at tl,ir
pri.ee. .... Let the men of wealth in thi ,-

The votes of the Senators were waited for
with the utmost anxiety, though nothing
more than a general motion ot suspense re
lieved wa3 made manifest when the vote of
a doubtful Senator was given.
Senator Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes.Ross,
Trumbull Van Winkle and Henderson were
the Republican Senators who voted "not
guilty."
Senator Wade, when his name was called,
stood up unhesitatingly and voted "guilty."
Before the result of the vote was an
nounced, but when it was known, Senator
Williams rose and moved that the Seuate,
sitting as Court of Impeachment, adjourn
until Tuesday, May 26th, at 12 o'clock.
It was objected, that the motion was not
in order, as the vote had not been announc

the Chief Justice rose and announced the
result, in these words: '"On this article
there are thirty-five Senators who have vo

voted not guilty. The President is, there
fore, acquitted on this article."
There was no manifestation of sentiment
made on either side of the question. What
ever were the feelings of theSenators,mem

repressed. ,
Senator William's motion to adjourn un
