Washington, February 22, IsGs.
Impeachment
Is virtually at an end. On Saturday last
the Senate prooeeded to voted on the
eleventh article, the only one supposed to
have any substance in it, and the President
was acquitted by a vote of nineteen to alit
ty-flae. The following Radictti Republi
cans voted for acquittal, to wit;
Fossonden, Fowler, Grimes, Anderson,
Trumbull, Van Winkle and ROM. After
the vote, an adjournment was carried until
the 26th lust ; but everybody, friends and
foes of Impeachment, knows that the mat
ter is over. What next 1 .
It will be perceived that 36 votes would
have been necessary to conviction.
WE ASSERT it without fear of cotitradio
tion that nine-tenths of the Democracy of
this county, and of this Congressional Dis
trict, do not desire a military man as their
candidate for Proddent. They are sick and
tired of supporting men for po/t4 sake.—
What they want is a straight-forward, old
fashioned Democrat, one whose hands arc
clean of the war for the destruction of the
Southern States, and who can come before
the people with independence sufficient to
express his views upon all the important
questions of the dny in such a manner that
there will be no misunderstanding him.—
The Chicago Convention no doubt, in our
mind, will nominate (lea. Grant; but is
that any good reason why the Democracy
should take up a General of the late un
righteous and unjust war? Who will pre
tend to say that the war was just ; and who
will deny that the Abolition party did not
inaugurate it ? No man of common sense.
It is not our business to find fault with
prominent Democrats for hastily springing
into the Abolition trap and helping that
party to carry out their wicked designs, but
it is our duty as a public journalist to raise
our voice in behalf of the people when we
notice designing men, crafty polititions, try
ing to thwart their wishes. We will ever
do this. The laboring classes, in a great
degree are honest; and their interests should
be consulted. To do that, we want no Gen
eral nor bond-holder's candidate,
THE Clinton Democrat of• the 14th inst.,
animadverts in a moderate way on an article
contained in the Clearfield Repah/ican,
publithed at the home of ex-Gov. Bigler
and of Mr. Wallace, Chairman of the State
Democratic Committee; which article the
Democrat supposes, was either from the
pen of Mr. Wallace, or published at his in
stance. Our Clinton county cotemperary
thinks that the sentiments bontuined in the
article iu qustion have a squinting toward
an attempt on the part of some of our party
managers to destroy the prospects of certain
prominent candidates for the Democratic
nomination at New York ; if, in fitet, there
may not be with some a more serious object
in view, to wit, the disruption of the Dem
oeratio party and the establishment of a
new political union which is expected to em
brace within its folds the dissatisfied and the
disappointed of the old abolition party.
In opposition of these views, the Clinton
Democrat says :
With an era of returning reason dawning
upon the country—with the principles of our
great party ten times purified and refined by
the fiery crucible through which they have
passed during the passt years of strife,
bloodshed and national iniquity, it is not the
time now, when even the elements of nature
are combining to insure our success, to threw
overboard the brave men and true, who
manned the ship and stood by the hel,
when the storm raged loudest and fleicest.
Confusion to cowards say we, and shame
upon those who requite "party services" by
cowardly desertion, and at a time, too, when
a bold move Is the safest, best and truest
policy.
If time-serving, weak-kneed politicians,
with their timorous, vaseilating truculency
to policy and IIVEL , OII to principle, are to
control the deliberations of the New Nork
Convention, then indeed will the country
mourn in seek-cloth and ashes, the cowar
dice that betrayed the cause of constitutional
liberty and self-government into tho hands
of jacobin assassins, whoa* vital defeat and
extermination was badgered away by so
called, policy Democrats.

Carnes Returning to Roost.
The political virus which has been intro
duced into our national system, eating and
spreading, like a huge and foul cancer, is
seen to break out in spots all over the coun
try ; here and there, however, the disease
is to an extraordinary degree apparent, re
suiting in an alarming destruction of nation
al resources. Pittsburgh, one of tho Mon
grel holes of Pennsylvania, is afflicted with
this destructive virus. Gangrene has set
in, and she is threatened with a general cav
ing in. Her howls are as full of grief and
terror as those of the manufacturing towns
of New England. Pittsburgh politics arc
as dingy end dirty as her atmosphere. The
Mongrel hue of her dwellings and ware
houses convoys the exact tone of her politi
cal sentiments. The rottenness of the coin
menial structure of this country to-day,
which has eaten into the manufacturing and
business interests of Pittsburgh, and which
she is lamenting over, that politically dirty
city worked hard to bring about. It was,
and yet is, the blackest hole west of the
Alleghanies. Ti o Mongrel yell of nigger
ism, and the war upon the South, went
up louder from that then buisy spot then
from any other place of its size and promi
nence in the wholecountry. It is now reap
ing the fruits of it. Tier manufacturers,
iron, glass, farming implements, nails, flour,
&0., including her coal, floated down the
Ohio and Mississippi yearly, and returned
with the sugar, cotton, tobacco, rice. and
other products of the South. Then Pitts
burgh, spite of her political sins, was pros
perous and happy. Look ,at her now.
Factories and workshops closed, and thous
ands of her men, women and children idle,
wandering about in search of employment,
or begging for subsistence to live upon.
Pittsburgh is not the only locality in the
country which sent forth its political curses
upon the poor South, to have them return
ed with compound interest. Those curses
are just ooming homo to roost.

Tns Black Republican National Con
vention assembles at Chicago to-day. The
Black and Tan party will be strongly Ibpro.
seated from the Southern States. No white
man from the South, having any regard for
his people or respect for himself, unless he
be an itinerant carpet-boger, would allow
his face to be seen in the Chicago Conven
tion. Negro Delegates will receive no re
cognition in the New York Convention.
The Democracy are opposed to amalgama
tion. They are in favor of while men ruling
America. This Government was formed by
white men, for the benefit of white men and
their posterity. The negro has no claims
upon the white race that they aro bound to
respect, and the sooner the laboring classes,
the great mass of the electors, understand
this, the bettor it will be for them. Nearly
four millions of blaoks are now being sup
ported iu filth and idleness by the white
man's labor, northern industry ; simply the
result of the teaching and government of
the Black Republican party. Not only are
the negroes clothed and fed at our expense,
but a horde of Freedman's Bureau officers
and bummers, are daily leaching the Treas
ury through the operations of this philan
thropic and black and tan legislation.

(Jovurnor Geary has vetoed the bill re
pealing the not to create a new Criminal
Court for Dauphin, Lebanon aid Schuylkill
counties. This so called " court" has
been in imaginary oilstone° about two years,
and has cost the State $4,1100 a year, and
about $BOO in -mintage, while no busineag
tolgatevrr has been transacted by it l The
"court" was created at the request of a
number of the fiercest Radical partisans in
Sohuylkill county, for the Asks of taking
away the power from Judge Ryon, who is a
Democrat. By consolidating Dauphin,
Lebanon and Schuylkill counties into ono
Judicial district, the Radicals hoped to ob
tain control of the courts in Schuylkill
county, so that their election officers who
commit frauds would not bo punished, as
they wonid be by judge Ryon. Tho work
ing classes in Schuylkill always give a heavy
majority against thorn, and their only hope
of obtaining control of the courts in that
county is by bringing into the contest the
heavy Radical vote of Dauphin and Leb
anon. They elected their apology for a
Congressman, Col. Cake, from the Tenth
District, by open and shameless bribery,
and under the lead of a few crazy negro.
worshippers, they arc trying every dishon
orable means to place the whole county un
der the oontrol of the Radical shoddy ads
toeracy.
The excuse of Governor Geary' that the
new Court has prevented crime, is a false
hood. The outlaws who formerly commit
ted such outrages in 1 4 chuylkill county were
but a small gang—perhaps a dozen men.
Some of them, at least four or five, were
shot, and ono was captured and has been in
prison for two years. Through fear that ho
might divulge their names, the remaining
outlaws left the region, and scenes of vio
lence became much loss frequent, which the
Radical wiseacres abseribed to the forma
tion of a so-called special police force, gen
erally known as the "snapper police," Oil
account of their catching nothing more dan
gerous than a snapping turtle.
Geary has now a new text, however, and
states that the prevention of crime in
Schuylkill is owing to the Criminal Court,
when it is well known to every sensible per
son that the "Court" never tried a case,
and has never been aeknowledgedas having
any authority whatever! The first session
of the court in Pottsville was attended by
the " Judge," four Republican lawyers,
and two spectators, and it has never since
been recognized as a court by any of the
lawyers in either Dauphin, Lebanon or
Schuylkill.
Four times ayear Col. Green calls the
" court" to order, and then declares it ad
journed; for which service ho receives three
thousand five hundred a year salary, and
about eight hundred dollars a year mileage,
paid slum the State Treasury.— Reading

TUE LADY'S FRIEND FOR JUNE.—What
ever the Ladies' Magazine may have been
in times past, some of those of the present
day, both in respect to engravings and as to
their literary contents, are of a very high
character. The steel engravings arc execu
ted in the best style of art—the fashions are
refined, judicious and elegant—while their
literary contents often surpass in their pe
culiar lino the efforts of the masculine
monthlies, To blame these magazines for
not being more solid and heavy, is as sen•i
blo as to blame a young girl for not being
an old man—or a rose for not being a pota
to. We take the Magazine before us—one
of the best of its class—and what do we
bad? A well executed and suggestive steel
engraving, called " The Prisoner of State."
A handsome and picturesque colored steel
fas Lion plate of Fancy Costumes. An in
teresting wood engraving of the " First
Church in England," and a number of oth
er engravings illustrated of the present
mode for women and childrens' dresses.
And, in addition to all this, noveletea and
stories by such writers as Harriet Prescott,
Amanda M. Douglas, August Bell, Miss
bluzzey, &c. Now when in addition to
such writers, we give the names of Mrs.
Henry Wood (the English novelist), Louise
Chandler Moulton. Florence Percy, Marga
ret Hosmer, and others who contribute to
the Ltnvs' IhttEsn, our readers will see
that this magazine must necessarily take as
high a rartk in literature, as it evidently
does infohion. The truth is that, so Rosi
ly is the adornments of these ladies' maga
zine, it takes a very large edition even to
pay their expenses. The " Lady& Eriond"
is published by Deacon & Peterson, 319
Walnut Street, Philadelphia, at $2.50 a
year (which also includes a large steel en
graving)• Sample copies 15 cents.

WHAT IF NCCL&LLAN SHOULD Dia?
At the last Presidential election, the Rad
icals frequently put the above question to
the supporters of tho Democratic ticket.
They were answered, that thou Pendleton,
a patriot and statesman would become
President. In return they were a.sked,
" what if Lincoln would die?" They an
swered, all would be well, for Johnsen was
a patriot, and a great statesman, and the
country would be safe in his hands. We
must confess that in this, they told the truth,
though unconcious of it at the time. He
has tried to restore the Union, he has tried
to pros erve the Constitution, and he ha s
tried to save the nation from the disgrace
of negro suffrage, and from the evils of des
potism. Hence it is that patriots love him
and traitors hate him.—KortAumberiand
