"KAbICALISMTaSTIFIEDr"'
The present situation is a striki n tr vin
clicatiou ot the Htdical instinct of the
country. It has always felt that the
President wan false, and that the extreme
remedy was ttie wises'. Uut the impeach
-lent prujeet has never enlisted very gen
eral sympathy ; and tor two ressons. The
first was a want of confidence in the iui«
peachnient leaders, and the second Wis a
teelinir that Congress could bind thf
Prist en' so us to make him harmless,
ami -o, als >. as to spare the country the
excitement 'he trial.
Gem.ml B t'leran i Mr. Ashley in On
gress, coiioeiiiiijr their ability an I what'
ever t lr-e of patriotic service tiny bi fair
ly claimed t»r them, are not men in who-e
wtMiiom the sober, thoughtful, influential

correct." said the «e icial s >o>l sense
•• grautiug even that it might be a good
thing to impeach, yet we tear the neces

So when the proposal to adj mrn condi J
tii n illy Was brought forwiid. the Con
servative sentiment of waich we speak
wa' oppose I to it upon Iho ground that
the President ejuld he held within
hounds, while the conditional ad ouni
nient would merely keep the country un
settled. It was with soino difficulty,
lliiifcfote. that the plan waj finally atopic
ed. Its wisdom was soon Miown. Con
gress assembled in July; but despite
the lesson, despite the apparently una
voidable warning, thinking, as it thought
before, that it had securely bound the
Executive. C mgtess adjourned until the
21st of November, n>r is there any au
thority but the Executive which can as*
semble it sootier. I
Tlio event has justified the Tladicil
view of the situation. The Presideut, as
the Cadicals said, could not be trusted ;
and ('on.ross, as Mr Sumner claimed,
ought to have held itself in a prgitinn to
watch him. Those members wh > said
that public opinion did Dos apprrve the
Radical \ioflr .-h mid have reuienibefed

makes public opiriion. If Mr. Ft*Ssen

President, it tiicy had recalled the ex

question which can properly divert our

question is national reconstruction, and
until that is virtually settled by the
election of a wholly h inn mious admin

Hut these results can be secured only
by strict party organizition and aetion.

said he, "if iny companions would only
go with me, I would seek Christ. Hut
el'ter waiting an I waitiuu, willl in peace
to my soul, the the thought struck me—
I muse die aljne; [ must appear before
God alone. It makes no difference,
whether or not my companions become
Christians. I alone must account to God
for my sics, I ahnc must seek forgive
ness."
The remark was true. Jesus 'l9 the

labor earnestly for the salvation of his

die alone, lie 111 ty have wealth, influ

cannot sa'« him ;he must die alone.—
The portal of the grive is narrow—he
