Tun RadicaLS tate Convention met in Phil adelphia on Wedneiday, and re-nominated Ilartrauft and Campbell for Auditor and Bur veyor General; endorsed Grant for Presi dent unanimously ; presented Curtin for Vice President by a vote of 109 in his favor to 22 for all others. The resolutions dodge negro suffrage entirely ; call for impeachment, and pledge the support of, the party to Con gress ; oppose paying off the bonds In green backs ; and Instruct the delegates to vote as a unit at CiticaErn. PROGRESS OP THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. The Impeachment Rump have - ao far com pleted their preliminary arrangements as to organize their "high court" and fix upon next Friday, the 13th, as-the day for the ar raignment of the President. As the course of truelove never did run smooth, these conspi rators met with some unexpected difficulties in organizing a court under the forms of de cency out of the political tatter-demalions of which it is composed. The Chief Justice, put upon his go<sd_ behavior by the feartlil re-, sponsibilitios of his position, has manifested' a disposition to conduct' the business with at least a show of Fairness ; but with his prover bial aptitude . at whipping the devil around the stump, he has contrived to let Ben Wade swear himself in; member of the Court, which is organized to swear Mr. Johnson ont of office to make room for himself. At 7 o'clock on Saturday evening the Ser geant-at-Arms of the Senate called atl the White louse to serve upon the President the writ of summons in the impeachment., The proceedings were very brief, and did not ap -pear to give Mr. Johnson much concern. All the counsel of the President are not yet selected, but Judge Curtis, of Massachu ‘ ; setts; and David Dudley Field, of New York, have been regularly retained, and rumor has it that Judge Black and Attorney General titanberty will be anionic the number. DIOIOCRATIC STATE TICKET The Democratic State Convention, on the Iltir instant, was a great success in every' re aspect. Perfect harmony characterized all its proceedings, and its work has undoltdly -met the approbation of the -party gene iy. The nominations of lion. Charles E. Bole for Auditor General, and Gen. Wellington H.' . Ent for Surveyor General, will meet with universal favor. Both are young -men, and Mr. Boyle has distinguished himself as a member of the Legislature from his native county of Fayette. His example is a good one for the young - men of Pennsylvania to imitate. But a few years since he was a jour neyman printer; at intervals he studied law, was admitted to practice, and is now one of the rising lawyers of Western Pennsylvania. He has ability of a high order, is aline speak er, and what is best, of all, is a- thoroughly honest man. Gen. Enlis at present a prac tising lawyer of Columbia county, of which he is a native. Ile graduated at the Law University at Albany, New York, a ' short time previous , to the outbreak of the War, and had commenced the pnutice of law in Bloomsburg, when the call ,to arms re sounded through the land. Dropping 'his books he shouldered a musket as a private in the Sixth Pennsylvania Reserves. From that time forth, for a period of more than three years, he, participated in carving out the brilliant war record of .that gallant regi ment. Step by step he rose—from private to lieutenant, from lieutenant to captain, from captn to major, from major to lieutenant colonel, from lieutenant colonel to colonel, which latter position he honorably and bravely filled at the muster out of the Re series in 1864. • For his "distinguished servi ces" he was breveted ii Brigadier General at the close of the - war. Gen. Ent does not rest alone upon his war record. - His legal and business knowledge is fully equal to the dis charge of the duties of the office for which he hi.s been nominated. With candidates like these, the Democrat ic party can scarcely fail to come:out of the campaign victorious. It behooves every Democrat to hankie on his armor. The cam paign can be commenced none too soon, and we trust the County, Ward and Township Committees will lay "out the work, soshat all can put their shoulders to the wheel at once. We want no laggards. Victory is within our grasp, and it must not be lost by Supineness or lethargy. PACTS It is a fact . that Stanton declared that the Tetiure-of-011ice bill, under which he holdi his office, was unconstitutional! It is a fact that GCneralsiktint end Sher man urged Stanton to leave the Cabinet. •It is a fact that Stanton remains in the Cabinet out of personal not patriotic nintiveti. It is a filet that the impeachment resolu tions were caused by spite, and by no other reason I . It i 4 • fact that John Sherman, and other Republican Senators,anid flO gentleman would want to remain iathe Cabinet it' the Pred dent did not want him to do ear It is a fact that Sumner, Wade and-others who are to try the President, have already made up their verdict, and the trial %sill only be a sham'! THE MVP. OF THE .DVE flowerer nitwit Eastern joumals may talk about negro suffrage and Neonstruction, the great question which must be met and decid ed in the nett Presidential campaign, will be the proper adjustment of the national debt and the reduction of taxes to iliclasses. The negro surrage question was presented to the people by the Republican party, and the pea. pie have answered and decided it.. The pub• lic debt and tezation arc presented by the Democracy and Must be met in the coming political struggle. Greenbacks for bonds will be the rallying cry, and the candidate of the Democracy for President• must stand upon that platfoim.

The Democratic State Convention assem bled in the Hall of the House of Representa tives at Harristaxrg,at noon on Wednesday, the' 4th of March, and was called to order by Hon. Wm. A. Wallace, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee. The attendance was larger than at any previous assemblage of the kind for years, it being estimated that not less tlian,llve thousand persons were attracted to Ilafrisburg by the . occasion. The delegations fibre Crawford, Northampton, Bradford, Warren, Susque hanna,Sullivan, and a portion of tho Erie del egates, were detained by the atom from reaching Harrisburg until the Convention bad adjourned, but every other portion of the Commonwealth was fully represented. In the absence of the regular delegates, Judge Church sat in the Convention for Crawford county, and Mr. Pennell, of Venango, for Warren. In calling the Convention to order, Mr. Wallace made the following admirable address : Gentkmen of the Convention :—The politi cal events of the past year are full of reasons for pride in your strength and confidence in your future. Success has crowned yottreorts and the great principles of civil liberty and constitu tional governMent have asserted their power over the niledSof the people. These great doctrines gave birth to our or ganization, and when we are defeated in their supeort, like the fabled Antaeus when burled to his mother earth, we gather ,therefrom re newed vigor and arise stronger and more de termined than before. The war and its attendant train of horrors are remembered in sadness. Reason resumes its thrtne, and designing men can no longer attain their selfish ends by appeals to passion. Christian charity now fills the place that rant cor had usurped, and bate and bitterness are sloWly passing away. The Radical party have shown their in capacity to govern the Republic, and the mass of their own adherents recognize the fact. Famine and crime, military pule, insecurity of life and property, the negro dominant, tilt( white race oppressed, are the proofs of -this in one, section, while grinding taxation, Un certainty in business and financial 'distress pervade the other. It has given us "a broken and dissevered Union ," corruption and extravagance in the use of the public money, confusion in mone tary affairs, and mismanagement of the im mense revenues it haS wrung from the peo ple. It can unite upon no policy, but the per- petuation of its own power. In the thad spirit of faction, it seeks to strip the Execu tive of his prerogative, and to ignore the sacred Danclions of the Judiciary. It tramples upon the organic law, reverses our traditions, and brands as criminal every attempt to stay its wild career. Our form of government is the external evidence of our capacity for self-tovernment, for governments are what the people make them. t If we can govern ourselves, we can sustain the government we love, and 'can safels - to the force of ideas,to the march Of mind, to public opinion, to crush with the bitllot those who; through the forma of law, iiitack the vital spirit of our institutions. The people have ordained a free system of laws and a complex yet simple organism the people, the States and the Union. The preservation of the rights of each of these is essential to the existence of the whole. To maintain these they have created the three great co-ordinate branches of the gov ernment ; : the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial. Puhlic good and private rights demand the preservation of the integrity of each. Sovereignty is in the people ;. the govern ment is their creature, woven to protect their liberties; its division into Independent branches was of the very essence of the sys tem ; the destruction of either is a stride ,to ward tyranny. The organic law defines the powers of each, and to that law each must be conformed. The Constitution is the Supreme law. It is the only evidence of powers granted by the States and the people. It must be strictly pursued and implicitly obeyed. To sustain these truths more than tutee hundred thous and nien, in conscious strength and quiet dignity, await your call, and this day speak through you for obedience to law; for the Government of the Constitution and for the Federal Union of the States. • Hon. Wm. M. Randall, State Senittor from Schuylkill county, was chosen temporary President, and on taking his seat delivered• a stirring speech. A committee of thirty-three, consisting of one from each Senatorial dis trict, was selected to report permanent offi cers, and one of seven upon contested seats. The former committee brought in the name of lion. Wm. Hopkins, of Washington, for permanent President, with the usual long string of Vice Presidents and Secretariha. Mr. Hopkins' remark 4 on taking the chair were brief and well received. The following resolution, offered by Mr: Zeigler, was agreed to : ResoliM. That a committee of thirty-three, selected by the delegates front each district, be appointed to frame resolutions. and that all resolutions relative to platform be referred to that committee without debate. The report was agreed to without a dis senting vote in the Convention. The Com mittee on resolutions was appointed, lion. Gayl6rd Church being the member from this district. The following gentlemen were placed in nomination before the Convention : Atiditor-generat---Jacob Zeigler, of Butler ; W. W. H. Davis, of Bucks ; C. E. Boyle, of Fayette ; A. D.

The Committee on fiesolutions not being ready to report, the Convention took a re ceAs, when speeelteS were made by Iron. .G. 0. Deise, of Clinton, and Gen. Wm. MeCand le, of Philadelphia. While the latter was speaking; the Committee arrived, and report ed, throtigh their Chairman, Judge Church, the following: Resolved, That the happiness of the people and the preservation anti continuance of our power as a Republic depends upon the per petuity of the Unton and the preservation of the Constitution ; and the prompt restoration of each and all of the States to the enjoy ment of their rights and functions in. the Union is essential to -our progress, to our prosperity, and to the protection of our liber ties ; and radical legislation is the sole harri er thereto. . 2. That the Constitution of the United States is the Supreme law, It Is binding mmn 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 int. Illicit obedience to all Itkprovhdons until Rim changed in tiro manner provided thetehi, that the recent attempts of the LegtslativetEmnch of the - Government to usurp the power of the Executive and to destroy the independ ence of the Judiciary, are deliberate attacks upon thelplainest provisions df the Constitu tion, in utter violation of-the irit, and tend ing to the overthrew of the Government it self 3. That the Radicals in Congress have wrung from the people enormous sums of money which they hare - sqnundered IV reck less eitra ; their system of taxation is ill-devised, Incongruous and inequitable, and they have mismanaged the large reve nues thus obtained ; that rigid, economy in every branch of the public service, a decrease in the number of the officials, reduction in the army and navy, and a reform in the mode of the collection of the revenue are impera tively demanded, and only by these means can a reduction in the amount of taxation now imposed on - the industrial and manufac turing interests be attained and . the paytnent of our indebtedn es s be assured. ' 4. That the Republican party h responsi ble to the country for the delay in the resto ration of the Southern States to their just relations in the Union, and for the govern meat of their people by military rule ; that the purpose of These measures is to perpetu ate Radical power through the votes of illit erate negroes, and that these are the great primary causes of the present prostrate con dition of productive industry in all its de partments. 5. That in enacting the Tenure-of-Office Law, the Legislative and Executive branches of the Government, each of itself, had the right to judge of its constitutionality, and that, in so exercising the right, the Executive was but obeying that portion of his oath of office which requires him to "preserve. Virti tact and defend the Constitution of the United States," and that it is the right of every branch of the govertunent, and of every citi zen to have questions itivolving the consti tutionality of any law apeedily adjudgeil, by the Supreme Court of the United States; and of all the people to havt said decisions en forced. 6. That the pending impeachment of the President of the Unitelfitstes is a gross and reckless abuse of power,. l -withoutjustifiable cause, and intended fqr - the attainment of party purposes, at the saerifiee of. the most vital interests of the country. T. That a return to aspecie paying basis at the earliest practicablelimoment is essential to the interests of the ptiple and the' pros peritrof the nation. 8. "That the national febt should he paid as rapidly as is consisteld with the ability of the people and in accordance with the terms of the laws upon which its, several loan§ are based. 9. That the five-twenty bonds anVthe legal tender notes are component parts' of the same financial system, and, until the Gor ernment is able to redeem the legal tenders in coin; the holders of those bonds should lie required to receive legal tenders in pay ment. 10. !That every species of property should bear its fair proportiotrof taxation, and that the exemptiorvor,Government Wads there from is unjust and inequitable. 11.... That we recognize with emotions of the deepest gratitude the efforts of the gallant volunteer soldiery, who so freely took up arms to defefid the flag and prevent the de struction of the Union; and that we. de nounce as an insult to them the efforts of the Radicals to preYent a restoration of the Union until negro supremacy is established in certain States,' and negro 'equaliti" made the rule in all. 'l2. That the natnrnlization of foreign born citizens places them upon the same footing as those born in the country, and 'it is the duty of the Government to see that all citi zens, naturalized or native, are protected in their rights of life, liberty and property abroad, as well as.at home, and that, in the view of the Democracy, the flag of the coun try ought and must be made to protect all our-citizens. Mr. Turner, of Luzerne, offered-the follow ing resolution, which was agreed to: &•aolred, That the delegates froip Pennsyl vania to the National Convention, be and they are hereby instructed to vote as a unit for President and Vice President, as well as upon the Platform. The Convention, on the third ballot; nom inated Hon. Chas. E. Boyle, of Fayette, for Auditbr General. Col. Wellington 11. Ent, of Columbia, was nominated for Surveyor General on the second ballot. The following is the vote for delegates at large to the Na tional Convention : G. W. Woolward, Wm. Bigler, - Am Packer,' • Isaac E. theater, • S. J. Randall, - - John Latta, - - J. P. Bart, '-- • J. S. 3l'Calmont, - tssrs. Ileister,. Packer, Woodward and Bigler having received a majority of all the votes, were declared duly elected delegates at large. Hon. Wm. A. Wallace was re-elect ed Chairman of the State Central Committee for the ensuing year. PENDLETON IN MAINE. , It has been stated that Mr. -Pendletores strength is confined exclusively to the West. The following resolution adopted by the- Democratic District Convention held at Ban gor, Maine, on the 3d, together with the pro ceedings heretofore published from various places in New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, Maryland and elsewhere, will, ,we think, convince the most skeptical that in every respett he is a - national candidate. Here is the resolve : tffirsarek?, That in the lion. George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, we recognize a states man of profound wisdom, of unflinching in tegrity, of devoted patriotism, and of high and eminent _abilities and genius; conse crated - to the Constitution and the Union, whose view on all the great questions of the hour, and especially in regard to the. pay ment of the public debt, the taxation of the Government bonds, and a propel' and equal system of taxation of all other property, meet the wishes, convictions and necessities of the people of this Congressional district. We, therefore, hail, and sustain with-the heartiest approbation, the action of the united Democ racy of the great West and North-west, hi nominating him for the Presidency of the United States." Delegates to the National Convention were chosen and instructed for Pendleton. - LATE ELECTIONS. The town elections in New York have al- most invariably been favorable to the Demo ,crass. Returns from thirty counties, ..or half of the State, show a Democratic gain of seventy-three Supervisors. over last spring. The gains are almost entirely in the rural dis tricts, where people are usually slowest to change their' political opinions. Careful` fig ures lead to the estimate that it there had been a general election the State would have gone Democratic- by one hundred thousand majority. ' - The election in New Hampshire has gone in favor of the Radicals by a reduced major ity on the largest vote ever cast in that State. The Radical candidate-for Governor has less than 3,000 majority, against 3,146 last year, 4,656 in 1866, and 6,128 in 18115., At this fate, not many years will elapse until the Radical preponderance is overthrown.- - • . Local elections in Pennsylvania, New Jer gey and New England show Democratic gains in nearly every instance, though now and then a Radical gain is reported. WIIAT the people are determined to have is a reduction of taxes to a point which will yield revenue enough to pay the interest on the National debt, and an economical gener- al Government. With the war - ended three years, the cost of it is as severely felt 'mitten it was at .its height, if, indeed, Its evils are not more grievous. High taxes make up a good proportion of the large prices paid for every commodity, and the 'sooner they are reduced to the most economical standard consistent with national integrity to its credi- tors, the better. Capital is timid, and the demand for labor Is on the decline. The waiting laborer must be fed, and fasting will, in thii country, surely breed the discontent noticed among the laborers in other lands, where bread is scarce and work is not to be bad. The speediest, way to put the labor of the country in.motion is to reduce the taxes which now cripple capital and keep ltout of long engagements. The sooner Congress takes the financial policy in hand the better. A nw yeara ago Radicalism called it"die• loyalty" to speak ill of tho President. Radicalism calls it "disinyalty" to speakvell of the Preadult MMMMI The little - mums created in, our party ranks, within the last few weeks, has created so much interest that it will, perhaps, be ex pected of us, to furnish a statement of its con eluding features. Two of the delegates appointed by the County Committee, started for Harrisburg at 5 o'clock on Monday allernoon, llte 2d by way of' the Philadelphia oft Erie - R. R. The road wag blocked up by the snow, but the officers thought the train would work through, and more.in hope than confidenCe the delegates started upon their journey. Haeltime, Capt. Hutchinson found •it im possible to leave Girard and telegraphed a substitution to liarriSburg, authorizing Judge Marvin to take his seat in .the .Converition., The train moved along very well, with three engines in advance, until it came to Sheffield, when one of the engines ran off the track. This caused a detention of several hours. When matters had been righted, the train again went ahead to Kinzua Station, near where it was ascertained. that three imams.' fives attached to the Westward bound train were last in the snow. The engines from the Erie train were detached for • their relief, leaving the Lira upon the Kinzua siding. In undertaking to return, one of the . locomca fives went off the track, and' it .was twenty• six hours before the road was passable again. The delegates h;d taken - a huge lunch along, which they divided among the other passen, gers for breakfast, and when it was found. that the whole day would- have to be spent at Kinzua the prospects looked ' doleful enough, although all on board the train took it as coolly as men could be expeeted to do under the circumstances. About . three o'clock, hunger began to get the upper hand, `and it was suggested that a raid would have to be made upon one of the three shanties which constitute the city. The plan was no sooner broached than adopted, and great was the joy of nil on board when the messenger reported that dinner would be ready at the shanty of Mrs. Harrigan in fifteen minutes. AN the appointed time, the. whole - party formed a line, and betook themselves to the hospitable mansion mentioned, where they found a meal "fit to set before a king." What it lacked in quality.it made up in quantity. ' -The principal courses were boiled pork, without a streak of lean, and peftatoes, stacked up on the plates almost as high as the ceiling. It wasn't 'exactly such a meal as we would have relished at home, but, situated es we n ere, it tasted as good as tpson it Dobbin's beat. We trust none of our readers may have the misfortune to ever be detained a whole day at Kinzua, but whenever they are, we recommend the Harrigan House to their at tention. They will find it roomy and airy— the rooms being two in number, - and the air coming in in healthful quantities through inch wide gaps beneath the doors and win dows—and thelandlady just as honest and cheerful , hearted a specimen of an Irish woman as they can meet in a week's travel. She informed us that she had, several board ers, besides a husband and:, two children. We looked around where they could be stowed, and came to the conclusion that it must either be on the floor, roof, or outside. One locality was apparently as comfortable as the other. Yet, cheerlcSs as the sur rounding-4 neye, this jolly little woman was as happy as the birds, and alleged that she felt perfectly contented. "We're barn% rainy conveniences," she said, "but thin we'se all very healthy. We. bavn't needed the doctor, aur, in four years; not even when the baby, bless its little soul, was born." The train lay ut Kinzua till midnight Tuesday, when it started again on its eastward way, reacting - Kane about two o'clock. Here, by k the oidnesa of the landlord, we secured a first-class meal, late as it was, but another accident interfered with our progress: Just as the train was ready to start, a tender of one of the locomotives s naa aiscorered to he off the track, which occasioned sa., detention of five or six hours. From Kane everything went smoothly until near Renova, when an other obstacle interfered to cause a detention of severat hours. The upshot of all these delays was, that the delegates did not reach Harrisburg till midnight of Wednesday, just as the Convention adjourned. Some half a dozen from the Northern tier of counties, who got on board at Williamsport, were in the same delightful fix. All took it good natured ly, and if the members of the Convention had a . happier time,we envy them the privi lege. • 106 The delegates appOinted by the• Monday evening meeting started on Tuesday morn ing, by way of the Pittsburgh and Pennsyj vania roads, and were fortunate-enough to get through on time, reaching Harrisburg on Wednesday morning. • From daylight to noon they pushed their claims in a ,lively manner, and in the absence of the otherdele -gates, succeeded in creating considerable feeling in their favor. Judge Marvin took his seat as . substitute for Capt. Hutchinson, and the contestants promptly put in a de mand for their seats, the names of the dele gates appointed by the Col t Committee hav ing been regularly placed on the rolls of the -Convention. A committee on contested seats was appointed, before whom each side was summoned to app. ar. Messrs. Scott, Thompson, Sloan and Camplinusen made speeches, and were replied to by Judge Mar vin. The Committee sat about half an hour, and unanimously reported the following. re solution, which was adopted by the Conven tion without a dissenting voice : "Rceo{red, That Benjamin Whitman, Sena torial, Capt. Hutchinson and W, t W. Lyle, Representative delegates, are duly yintitied to seats from Erie county." At seven o'clock, the Convention met for an evening session, and, it being ascertained that the missing delegates could not be pres ent, Oil Judge Marvin's motion, B. P. Sloan was admitted . as a substitute for Benrn Whitman, and E. Camphausen as a aubsti:- lute for W. W. Lyle. These gentlemen par ticipated in all the subsequent proceedings of the Convention, helping to select candidates, and choose the delegates to the National Convention. When the choice by districts was made, W. L. Scott and Byron D. Ham lin were selected as Congressional delegates to the New. York Convention, and Wm. A. Galbraith as elector for the 19th district. This arrangement was the result of a compro ndse, proposed by the delegates from the other counties of the district, for the sake of harmonizing the difficulties in Erie county. And thus ends this "strange, eventful his tory," and may we never be called upon to detail another of Its kind. The compromise tigreed upon gives general andifaction,and the confident anticipations of a "split," which the Radical organs have been gloating over, and doing so much to encourage, are doomed to disappointment. The rank and file of the party, from one end .of , the county to the other, refuse to permit a local squabble to interfere.with the unity of the organization, and will indignantly rebuke any attempt to perpetuate the feud, let it - come from what quarter it may. Tun begislature of Maryland has elected Hon: Geo. H. Vickers to.the U. S. Senate, in place of Hon Philip R. Thomas, refused a seat, and he has been admitted, making the number of Democratic Senators in ihattody eleven. Sumner tried totave him excluded on the ground that Maryland has nova- Re pulilican form of government, but finding lainiself in a minority, withdrew the resolu tion. Gas. HANCOCK telegraphs General Grant asking•to be relieved front command of the Fifth Military District. The , request hffs been referred to the President, who has the Matter under advisement. • General Han cock claims that Corrupt officials. which he had displaced have been restored to power by order, of den.

Ex-PEusaramst Pizazz thinks the Demo cratic party win be greatly strengthened,by the - violence of the Radicals id impeaching the President. ' A RICHMOND negro, who draws his soup• rations at the Bureau was asked it he got a a good article. "Dunn, sir) we feeds it to our pig," was the response. STANTON wrote the veto of 'the Tenure-of- Office bill: But the vile ivretch now clings to it though if never applied to hirn. lie is charged with advising secession just before the war broke out. • IN the few towns heard frem in Maine, at the city and town elections on the 3d hist, the following results arc shown : Portland, DemoCratic gain since - November, 1867, 480; Rath; ditto, 64; Lewiston, ditto, 20$ Saco, Radical gain 64. Sows one has attempted to condense the story of the New York Constitutional Con vention in one brief sentence. After .nine months of gestation and parturition, it brought forth a black baby,,Negro Suffrage, the father of which (R. G.) has tun away. 'Tun official returns of the late electien Alabama have been made up. Of one buil:" dred and seventy-one thousand registered voters, only a little over, seventy thousand were cast, and not all of them far the Consti tution. Tito white vote is insignificant—not over one in twenty. THE Constitution of the United States dg- Glares that "The' President shall be Commail der-in-Chief of the Army and li r avy of the United States." In the face of this, General Grant has given orders to the . military all cers; not to obey any orders of the President unless they are sent through:his depart meat. Tams patriotic Governors who say their , constituents are "panting", to fight, and have tendered 100,000 men as if they • were so" many birds, had better keep cool. Do they rememberthat drafting lad to be resorted to, , in 1864 and 1885, to get men, and that the people ore not so anxious for the "next war" as . Governors, - ex-Quartermasters and Sutlers Tom Tribune has confessed . the' secret of its passion foi impeachment. I..Thre is . no news in the confession, but it, Lias the merit of candor nevertheless.• ' Andrew Johnson is to be impeached—for the crime 4treschery to the party . which elected him rr "In the opinion of some," blandly observes the emi nent publicist of the Tribune, this is the "greatest crime" he has committed. No doubt . of it WE are taxed about one hundred and fifty millions a year in order to pay interet on the war debt ! If this interest were to be paid in greenbacks—which sire have to take as mon ey—we would be free of this tax! If we have to take 'greenbacks in place . of gold, 'why should not the the take the same'? Why does not the Government print off some more greenbacks and pay bondliold 'era, in place of taxing the people? Tab Philadelphia Silinlay Transcript, au original Grant 'paper; in speaking of the General, says he has "forfeited all claim to respect as a gentleman, or 'confidence as a soldier," and that "he has suffered his lust for offige to override his manhood," and further bore says, "a candidate who commences his career in deceit will not.fail to find shame if nothing worse, in the end." IN A certain school district in New Hampshire there; is a debt of shout 10,000, to be apportioned among sixty voters. One man who is worth $40,0* if. assessed $66, while another worth a few,thousand and do ing a small manufacturing businiiss, is as sessed s'34n; and thus it is through the diti; trict—the poor laboring men taxed beyond endurance, while.the rich bondholders receive all the benefits, withoUt sharing the burdens. So it is everywhere. Pion. Washington to Lincoln,every pre4i dent has exercised the right, to remove plena- hers of their Cabinet whenever they tliftiiist such a course right and proper. No-one ever doubted or denied their authority to do so under the Constitution, or talked ofimpeach ing them for preferring one man. to untidier for Secretary of War or Postmaster General. Yet now, Andrew Johnson is impeached for, doing' this very act, ' Tire proposition to pay' in greenbacks a debt contracted to be paid in coin, is denom inated "bold repudiation" by the Radical press. 'set this is precisely what the Radi cals of New York and Pennsylvania have done. They passed a law changing the pay. bent of the State interest from specie 'to greenbacks, and their journals openly and boldly defended the measure. Per this.bill every Radical in the Legislature voted, and it was pmunptty approved by a Radical Gov ernor. The, Masses throughout the State fully understand who are the real practical repudiators., MONEY-tExesint. A. and B. live side by side. A. had ten thousand dollars. • B. had one son and no money; but B. gkvis his only son to the war. That son was his only de pendenee. • He was crippled In the war for life. 8.-has no sepPort left in consequence of the war. But A. puts his $lO,OOO in bands and receives annually 7-30 per cent, amount. ins to $730 per year. A. pays no tax, but A. is taxed $lOO for an,inconsideragle farm.. Is this showering the taxes . equally ? or is it not rather an improvement •on the burdensome English plan, which so inanntriqii to escape by emigration to this country ? • Is iruz Legislature lately, John. Hickman, a Radical member from Chester county, pre. seated a project he had much, at heart—ta establish a line of steamers from the United States to the black Republic of Liberia, in Africa. Hickman Was of opinion that such a line would repay the stockhidderts,, and pa. thetically implored his fellow members to vote for it. A Democratic mombei rose, and in a pathetic voice,. said, he had an amend•. meat to offer to 31f. Hickman's bill to. estab , lislt that line of steamers to Liberia, and read it at followl--"That every steamer should carry• from the• United States to ,the said Liberia a cargo of neg,roea." Roars of laughter followed all over the House, and John sat down quite ehopfallen. - A RADICAL pirijker says ' 4 the public debt must be paid," hut it insists the ProPosittets to pay it in greenbacks, or the payment of it in greenbacks, is*not a payment. Why nc ? Does it prbpose thdttliere shall be one kind of currency for the people and • another for; the bondholders? The creditors of the Gov 'eminent receive nothing but greenbacks for. the payment ut their accounts, yet this, it contends, is no payment in fact. Such is the currency the.GOvc_rn9/041 441)"$' the people, and if it cancels thelpublie faith in one in stance, why altonid it not in all ?Or dOes the Radical insist that greenbacks ' are good enough for the people, but the ho ndholderi must haie gold ? - : • I Less is the Wind !
