expect to shake the hands of several hun
dred of our patrons, many of whom we have
not seen for two or three years. Come,
gentlemen, do not leave us be disappointed . ;
We don't only want our money, but we want
to renew our acquaintance, besides better
enable ourself by your visits to give you a
larger and better paper. We think we hear
some one at the door—down goes the pen.
"IMPEACIINIENT."
Although our readers, like ourself, may
bo somewhat disgusted with the above stale
beading, it is nevertheless' necessary to keep
it up as long as the farce of the "High
Court" continues. Sickening as the whole
matter is, scandalous nod disgraceful to the
Nation as the conduct of our rulers at
Washington may be, our readers must be
kept informed of the ignominy to which
we are all subjected. A President of the
United States powerless in the hands of a
small but powerful faction through such
imbecility and corruption as the world never
saw before!
AU we eau say in the way of newi is, that
on Monday the beast, (Butler,) was expect
ed to make the opening speech against the
President; and it seems to have been oon
eeeded that the whole day should be devoted
to the business of allowing this concentra
tion of nastiness to emrty himself. COll3O.
quently we have little also to give to our
readers on the subject of impeachment than
the above. Batter will have made his
speech at the time mentioned, and the Sen
ate will then proceed to take the testimony.
It is now expected that the proceeding will
be a short one, as it seems to be the deter
mination of the Senate to be consistent with
itself and remove the President iu ac
cordance with what is commonly believed
to be r concocted plan on the part of the
impeachers and his enemies in the upper
house. As fast as we are able to furnish
our readers with the news they will receive
ft. No further time is expected to he al
lowed the President, and the trial is likely
to continue from day to day until the play
is ended.
TRIAL or JRTMIRON DATID.—The trial
of Jefferson Davis has been put off until
the 14th of May next. It was to hare ta
ken place on the 23rd of March, but Chief
Justice Chu() has written thaton aocoust of
the Impeeehment trial be could not be pree
ant. It is confadeotly expected that the
month of April will be 000upied with the
trial at Washington. Doubtless too Chief
Juatiee Chaise, timid be glad cot to preside
it the Davie trial at all.

ItillrOn Sunday night last, the office of
William t.i. Fluky, Esq., of this town, was
entered by burglars and robbed of several
dollars worth of Postage stamps, three pairs
or hoots, and ono neck tie ; at lout this is
all w(1 learned that he tuisred. Ao entrance
was effected through a window by pryieq
open the shutters. Mr. Hurley takes his
loots very philosophically, but it will not be
well for the thieves if he ever gots hold of
them ; they will be made, as they should,
to pay the full penalty of their crime.
Anet
of some gentlemen, named in their article,
and at the some breath amplify the soul of
Capt. 8., the individual "we," in whose
(winning the article is published. We made
a candid and calm reply, in our last issue, to
Vhe r rirplsitlfft;'• red ritntni the east
fairly before our readers with the facts. We
had supposed our petulant neighbor would
have been satisfied, and if not satiefleA, We
at all events thought the great interest of
the Democratic part, for whit& the gentle
men of that sheet claim so much earnest
ness of feeling, would have led them to
think discretion the better part of valor.
They seem to have bet sight of this however,
and to make the matter plain to the people
we suggest to them the propriety of an
nouncing to their readers in their next, that
they aro Democrats and have now doter
mined to remits with the party, having no
hopes of establishing a new party. (See
call for the Philadelphia National Union
Convention held in August, Me, alai the
names of parties making the call). If how
ever the readers of tho "red hot Democratic
paper" (?) should occasionally find an are
tido not wholly conducive to the health of
the Pemoeratic party, we hope DO one will
seriously complain, but pass it over with
tendertmoretnemberingthat sometimes even
the best practical doctors mistake the disease
of the patient. The Columbian could not
rest under the burden of facts put upon
them by our last issue, and avoiding all
previous statements, they unload another
infantile charge. And this, they have the
effrontery to give the title of "Gtontors
Vicroey sv Ilikost Towssuir." This
title is supposed to proclaim a Democratic
victory, though it does not say so. The first
sentence says "the Democratic and Cwarr
waive citizens of Bloom township, on last
Friday achieved a signal victory over the
Radicals." Understand that it is not claim
ed as a purely Democratic victory. Con
servatism is an element; (see again National
Union Convention call above referred to ; )
this is the element of strength recognized
by our cotemporary ; and we concede that
it should have strength, as it is founded on
bread and Litter; nothing is better for the
preservation and continuance of strength.
Suppose the bread and butter is forestalled,
thou what about Conservatism? Where the
strength? • Even now some of the special
Johnson Conservatives of "the corner" are
crying for impeachment.
The great object of the artic!e is not
to announce a Democratic victory but to get
off some vindictive expressions against Deus
corals whose known principles in politics are
so well understood that it is tot necessary
for us to may the y are Democrats. "Bulters"
bargain with Radicals, is the cry of these
hungry office seekers. Now let us see bow
this stands. One year ago the fusion styled
"Columbians" chose and selected a ticket
made up of Democrats, Democratic Con
servatives, Republican Conservatives, and
Radicals. This ticket was not at all pleas
ing to a large number of Democrats; inas
much as some of the candidates elected then
were publicly announcing themselves as the
most extreme Radicals ; others agaia claim
ed to be Conservative Republicans; but of
these there were those, who, like our comm.
porary, were engaged a few years ago in
assaulting honest citizens because it might
seem fit for them to wear a pin on which
was inscribed "Ltnenve." This was called
the "Copperhead pin"; and perhaps a car-
La aged Democrat of Pine Township may
remember being invited by a tooling soldier
pretending then with great dilidence to be
a Democrat when in Democratic company,
bat at the same time, writing loyal letters to
De. John►'s Republican. That ticket was
supported by the Democrats! This same
soldier now would make us believe he has
received Democratic inspiration from the
great God, and has the iu►p►ulcna to talk of
making bargains with Radicals l Thu reg
ular Denim:ratio meeting to nominate a tick
et for this spring election was held on the
third q( -March. The ticket then nominated
was a lkmoeratie ticket. The meeting held
afterward iu the Register's office was called
fur the express purpose of striking out Dem
ocrats, and, as was said by our Columbians,
to "recognise the corner." Now while
speaking of this, we aro very sorry that the
Cofennbiat► has seen fit to draw the name of
our very worthy townsman, Wu. PEACOCK,
into the squabble. We believe Mr. PIA•
ooe'w is a perfect gentleman, and believe he
will make a first-class School Director. We
have not a word to say against him in any
capacity. We have entire confidence in
him, and believe ho will work as an officer
with no other object than to do the best for
our public schools ; bet we ask the mou who
were so anxious to vote fur him, whether it
was good taste, as Democrat, for them to
strike the name of Mr. Erase, who is an
equally , good and capable man, from a Dem
ocratic ticket and insert the name of a Re
publican. We ask them to publish that
which they stood in therein and snow of the
election day to assert, to wit: that "Mr.
PrAcoctc is a Demecut." Again, if it was
ussemary to vote for a Republican in order
to Garry,' Democratic' ticket, why call the
man a Democrat? We venture to say and
do positively say that, first, 4r. Pwaeoex
never desired them to place him id the posi
tion he was placed; and further ho never
gavo them rierinission to electioneer fur him
by calling him a Denment. We have very
good authority to say that there aro papers
filed at flarriaburg not exactly consistent
with the declarations of our Coseervative
Democratic neighbors.
°writhing more end wo will let the Col
tonidon steam escape. What do the figures
of our late elation* show shout bargain*.
There were 434 votes polled. And says the
Columbian a majority over the Radicals of

cock had 211 and Mr. Mynas bt, making in
all 272 votes, being 2, votes more than the
highest number for any Democratic candi
date. Mr ?A g ar, the Republican candidate
for School Director, had 102 votes, being
28 votes less than the Republican vote for
Judge of of one. Now, what is the con
clusion? Is Toot perfectly Plain that the
men connected with the Columbian, bargain
ed with the Radicals for the express pur
pJse of defeating Mr. Evans who is opposed
because he Is a Democrat who does not torn
snide for Radicals nor for Conservatives,
and is that bargain the Columbiana traded

Again the Democratic vote as stated by
the Columbian was 247, Mr. Billmeyer who
they say bargained with Radios's, received
227 rotes, while the Radical candidate re
ceived 19 votes, 9 more than were east
against the Judge. Evidently Mr. Bil!mayor
did not get Republican voter, but the Co
lumbiana scratched his name from the ticket
and voted fur Radice/a. We might follow
these figures further and show more scratch
ing, trading, and bargaining between Co
limitians or Conservatives, (if they desire
the name,) and.Radicala, but we think this
aufficient to show the policy of our down
town Captains.
The Doty of Democrat*.
We adopt the language of the Baltimore
GM( " Expediency is a very good thing
in its way, and there are times when it is
our duty to take counsel of it. But these
are times also when it becomes us to consult
higher principles, and to endeavor to vin
dicate the right at whatever cost. That it
is expedient, and properly too, to equiesee in
some wronge no one doubts. It is equally
clear that others ought to be vigorously and
sternly resisted. We beicive that the Itadi
ical party owes its present strength altogeth
er to the fact that it has definitely and en
ergetically trampled over every obstacle that
stood between it and the ends it aimed at.
We are satisfied that the present supineness
of the Detuocritic and Conservative ele
ment of the country has been superinduced
by the habit contracted of late years of
finding it expedient to accept the situation,no
matter what that might be. The consequence
has been that the Radical faction has gen
erally managed in the end to make the situ
ation to suit itself. The Democratic party
of the North thought it better some years
ago to tolerate the arbitrary arrest of citi
zens living peaceably hundreds of miles
away from the seat of war and the suppres
sion of freedom of speech on the borders of
Canada. It has done little more than mur
mur against each new and violent infraction
of the Constitution., Congress since the
close of the war, and it is rather calmly
watching now the result of the infamous ef
forts which are being made to eject the
President from office, and to bet up Wade
in his place. Mr. Johnson, with the law,
the Constitution, and, we believe the tuajori
ty of the people on his side, has been listen
ing solely to what he takes to be the dic
tates of expediency. Ile kept thousands of
men in office who were daily endeavoring to
thwart the only policy by which he thought
the country and the Constitution could be
saved. He retained as his confidential ad
viene, politicians whom he did not trust,
and whom were but so many epics in the
interest of the Radical party. lie carried
out law after law, which he and every hon
est citizen knew to be to glaringly unconsti
tutional to be decently defended, and, gen
erally, whee ho removed one estremeist, on
account of his lawless proceedings. he put
another and a worse one in Lis place. tied
now, while mad revolutionists are battering
down the last barrier which stands between
the people nod the arbitrary and absolute
domination of the Rump Congress in Wash
ington—while the voice of their loaders has
proclaimed in the Capitol that they are
"acting outeido of the Constitution," the
President is obediently enforcing their ille
gal and despotic decrees; is paying from
the public treasury large sums of money on
the requisition of their creature who claims
to be Secretary of War but has not the
faintest right to act as such, nod is talking
as confidently about aqua warrant°, a man
damus and a habeas corpus, as old Mr.
Weller did about an o/i/ri.
We do not mean to jest or to denounoe.
We are in no mood for either. But we
must speak in such language as we beleive
the exigencies of the times demand, and
we feel that we have herein spoken only the
sad, but necessary truth. Recognizing the
fact that the country can be saved only
through the Democratic party we would aid
in the work of exciting it to life and action.
Tho New York tribune and the other lead
ing Radical journals are already pointing to
the apathetic attitude of the great Demo
evade party in the. North as oonclasive evi
dence that the people are in accord with
Congress, or are at least indifferent to its
usurpations. Dailyand hourly are the ex
tremists urged on to the completion of their
designs by the assurance that no matter
what they may do they will meet with no
serious resistance. That there is something
in the aspect of affairs to warrant this cen
t:tanner of the Radicals. who can gain-say?
If the Demooratio party hopes to stay the
current of revelation it mast meet it, and al
once, with a mighty collator tide such as
surges sometimes in from the often sea
drowns out the clamor of a noisy river. The
"expedient" and the "right" aro in alliance
now sad both call for action.
eassiet.. Of,Dourse he will not be 007
vioted because ho is guilty, for every tuan,,
woman and child who knows anything at all;'
knows that he is entirely, innocent of either
high crimes or misdemeanors. It will be
done simply, because the revolutionary , plan
of the lisidieal leaders makes it nettsfarq
that he be thrust aside and Mr. Wade put
in his place. To fail in doing this would be
tantamount to an entire failure in their plans,
and want of maven at this stage , of the
business would be death to them and their
party. We believe thre is a moral certainty
that Ben Wade will be the wet:Tent of the
White House inside of sixty days.
It is pertinent to !inquire what then?—
What will come after Wade ? We will tell
our readers what will come to pass then.
When Wade becomes the President, by the
overthrow of the Constitutional Executive,
he moans to enjoy all the privileges of' Pre+
ident. lie will be ;commander-in-chief of
the army and navy—he will make appoint
ments to, and removals from office, and will
discharge all, and singular the rights and
duties that the Constitution devolves upon
the President. All acts of Congress that
obstruct or hinder his full enjoyment
of the Executive prerhgatives will be wiped
from the statute books instanter. In the
first place the acts which snakes it necessary
for all orders of the President, to the army,
to pass through General Grant, will be re
pealed, for the Radicals'have no confidence
in Grant, sod with the law out of the way
the army can be manipulated at pleasure.—
Next, the Tenure-of-Office law will be re
pealed, and there will be a general turning
out of office of all men who are nut in favor
of the Revolutionary platform. This will
giee wade the benefit of all she official influ
ence in the country to carry out the edicts
of Congress. Then they will complete
their reconstruction of the Supreme Court,
so as to reduce it to a condition of harmo
ny" with Congress and the Executive.—
The number of Judges will bo ao increased
as to make it largely Radical, or also its
powers will be so emasculoted and crippled
that it will not be able to render a decision
adverse to the wish of the Radical majority.
With the Supreme Court fixed up, all the
departments of the government will be as
much under their econtroll as though they
had a natural right to them. They will not
hesitate to use all their power to perpetuate
their dynasty.
We have often remarked in our columns,
that the Radicals have struck for Empire
in this country, and we aro still of this
opinion. To attain it, they , will use all the '
means that unblushing impudence and
love of tyranieal power may suggest. Their
object is to elect the next President at all
hazards, and they will not scruple at the
means. They do not intend the people
shall have a fair ballot if they can prevent
it, and they will take the propper moans to
prevent it. They know that they stand in
danger of loosing the vote of the majority
of the Northern States unless the ballot is
given to the negroes. The measure is now
before Congress, and :we expect to see it
pass before the adjournment. This bill en
franchises the negroes in all the Stater where
they do not already vote, and they hope
thereby to secure New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and other States. Before the pres
ent session of Congress adjourns, a test oath
bill will be passed, in some shape or othar,
which will exclude from voting enough
Democrats to give the Radicals a majority
in all the close districts. This will enable
them to carry every State and gain a two
thirds majority in Congress. Our friends
must not argue that the Radicals will not
dare to do inch outrageous things, they will
be afraid and all that. They dare do any-
thing that becomes neoeesary to secure them
in power, and which is proved by the his
tory of the past biz years. Now) of the
acts I have specified as likely to be done by
them in the future arc more monstrous than
what they have already done. What so
ontmgeons, and in such clear violation of
the Constitution as the establishment of
military despotism in ten States? It will be
no greater stretch of power to disfranchise
a few hundred thousand Democrats in the
North, than to do the same thing its the
South and enfranchise nearly a million of
negroes.
Some one may ask whether , the people
will stand all this? Stand it? Yes, and more
too. They have stood worse things and
why not this? The Radicals will obtain per
manent power by it, and we cannot expect
them to offer any resistance while the
Democrats will not resist.. We are satisfied
of this. A few will bluster but it will not
come to anything. The experience of the
past few years has convinced us that no con
siderable portion of the Northern people
will fight to preserve constitutional liberty
to themselves and their posterity. They
have lost that keen relish for free govern
ment that distinguished their ancestors.—
As long as they are left free to pursue their
daily avocations and to reap and enjoy the
fruit of their own labor, they really care
but little sbest the government, or who
manages it. This is the feeling of the ma
jority, while, no doubt, there is a consider
able minority who ard ardent lovers o
liberty, and who would sutler load *orifice
much for it.
When Wade comes late the W hite House
and &spumes the reins of government, Dem
oasts may expect to teal the full weight of
Radical power. Ifiti *moot overthrow
this tyranny at the balk' box, we see no
other course than to sibtitic These con.
