'wan, the widely known organ of the Democ racy of that county, upon the Presidential canvass, and the part which Pennsylvania may justly ask to sustain in that great and intensely important struggle. The source of its appearance, and the internal evidence which It bears, convince us that we cannot be mistaken in attributing its authorship to a gentleman in whose judgment and patriot ism. the Democracy of Pennsylvania have the most entire cordidenoe, and whose opportuni ties for ascertaining the public temper entitle his views to more than usual consideration.

The Senate met In secret session on Mon day, to ; l3ear the dews of the several Senators upon the hapeachment ease, previous to tak ing a tint vote on the several articles report ed for decision. An immense crowd was in attendance about the Capitol all day, anxious ne.vettre inform dion which would enable them to goes., at the probable result, and the excitement ran higher than at any stage dur ing the trial. •On opening the proceedings set the secret ,esAion, Judge (lime said that in potting the vote upon the different articles, he should adopt the form heretofore used : "Mr. Senator, hoW s.ue you—is the respond ent, Andrew Johnsen, President of the United States, guilty or not guilty of high crime or zniqdeztiva nor, a 4 c/1:».:4 , d in this ;ar ticle ?" Mr. Stonner's motion that each Senator should rise it his place. and, without debate or explanation, answer guilty or not guilty, sya. agreed to. Dehate on the impeachment articles then followed at great length. Mr. Sherman, (Bad.), of ,Ohio, said he mold not vote for the first article. because he was on record to the effect that the civil tenure bill did not apply to Mr. Staakin. Ife held that the President had the right to make reafovala by the aet of 17: , 19 It is supposed that he will vote for the other articles, though he gave no pledge of Such au intention. Mr. Stewart, (Rad.); of Nevada, was in favor of conviction. Mr. Grimes, (Rad.), of lowa, de nounced :ill the articles, and Said they would he kicked out of any honest police court. He could not agree to destroy the harnionious workings of the Constitution, in order to gratify the prejudices of his fellow partisans. Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont, and Mr. Wil liams, of Oregon, followed, both intending to vote for conviction. Mr. Howe, (Rad.), of Wisconsin, could not support the first article, but would the second, third and part of the eleventh. Mr. Hendricks, (Dent.), of Indiana, -spoke against thsk,whole series. Messrs. Pom eroy, of Kansas, and Morrill, of Maine, (Rads.) would rote for all except those resting on the President's speeches and his interview With Gen. Emory. Messrs. Doolittle, Dixon and Johnson, (Dents.), spoke against convic tion. Messrs. Henderson, of Missouri, Trum bull, of Illinois, and Fessenden, of Maine, (Rads.), argued against all the articles. Mr. Buckalew, (Dent.), spoke aguifist, and Messrs. Conness, Wilson and Morton fur conviction. The Senate adjourned at a late hour in the evening, and the impression was general in Washington that•the President would be ac quitted. The. correspondent of the N. Ys Sun says : "Immediately after adjournment Mr. Chase took into his carriage Senators Henderson, Johnson and Sprague, and in another which tolloweal closely behind were Messrs. Grimes, Trumbull, Fessenden and Van Winkle. All eat to the residence of Chief 3tuttice Chase, where an elegant dinner Was prepared, over which it is said the formation of a new party was discussed, in which the President is to ploy a prominent part and Mr. Chase is to be a candidate for the Presidency." 4 At' the Radical Senators whO took no part in Monday's d e bate, M wsr . s . Anthony, Sprague, Corbett, frelinghtlysen, Tipton, Van Winkle and Willey hfe, regarded as in oppositiou to conviction, and it is not unlike ly that others, finding the way the current is setting, may conclude to follow conscience and save their credits by voting on the same side. Only seven votes are needed, ht addi tion to the twelve Democrats, to give im peachment its quietus, and The appearances now indicate that they will be secured, with - some to spare. The Radicals- all over the country are In a high state of fury in regard to what they call the -apostasy" of their Senators, in refusing to perjure themselves at the bidding of faction. The most terrible . threats are launched against them, and a powerful pressure is being brought to bear, jor the purpose of compelling them to disre gard the oaths -they have registered %%WI the Almighty. to pronounce an impartial verdict. "01(1 Thad" is reported 10 be ranting at a fearful rate, and declaring with his usual pro- Ihnity that "everything has gone to Charges of bribefy are freely made, and the • whole Radical faction are in a state of'tle moralization never before experienced. The Senate met lbr the purpose of taking the vote on Tuesday, when it wa.9 ascertained that Mr. Howard, of Michigan, one of the impeachers, was 50 seriously ill that he could not be pkesent. Not willing to risk the loss of even a single vote, the Senate on motion of Mr. Chandler, then adjourned to Saturday, without positively fixing for a vote at that time. Oar latest advices represent the Rad icals, from one extent . of_the country to the other, to be stirred up to the frantic point, in their ruse over the probable defeat of the p.:t measure of their party. Meetings are being held everywhere to condemn the Sen ators who will not 'Oolate their oaths, and their names are bandied about, coupled with the most offensive terms. 4 persevering at tempt will be made to brow-beat some of them into supporting conviction, and we know the terrors of party dist.iplibe top well to have as much confidence in their firmness as many of our friends possess, Senators Grimes and Coaling were takin,isick on Wednesday, while Howard's symptoms are less tkvorable. The conviction !gains cur rency now that a vote will not betaken until atter the Chicago Convention_ • IT is learned OW. doringl the debate in se cret session last week, a prominent Republi can Senator (whose name, for obvious reasons. is suppressed) stated that he bed received a bushel of letters urging him to vote for the conviction of the President, while 'others threatened bins with assassination in case he failed to record his Tote irt favor oreonviction.

Such is the burden of debt resting upon as that:one third of all the property owned in the State would.barely relieve us.• One-third 'cif every man's property is responsible for the Indebt edness of the State and the nation, and - the owners must pay in taxes the interest on the vast debt. Not only does taxation so onerous not exist anywhere else, but it was perhaps, never before known in the history of society.

The passage of the bill to admit Arkansas to representation in Congress was the im portant feature of last week's session, anti it WAS rushed through under the previous qm , tion. It was admitted by members on both sides that they had never had 'lnoppor tunity to read the Constitution of Arkansas, but Thad. Stevens did not seem to think that would make any difference, and he de clkted to postpone the bill to allow members to become better informed. Hr. Eldridge (Dem.) appealed to the House not to perpe trate such an infamy as to force the bill through at this time. A brief discussion then followed, when Mr. Baker, an Illinois Radical member, took the floor, and opposed the fundamental condition in the hill which provided that the State of Arkansas should never restrict its present basis of suffrage. He claimed that Congress had no right to enact any such condition; but the bill was passed by nearly a party vote, and sent to the Senate for concurrence. It seems to be the intention of tbe Radicals to pass this bill and the South Carolina nil!, which is precise ly similar, and admit the Representatives from those States, without waiting for the ratification of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States by three-fourths of the States, as required by the fifth section of the supplemental act of 1867. GRANT'S POPULARITY. The elections held this spring do not bear out the Radical theory of Grant's immense popularity. It has been morally certain for the last six months that he would be the Re publican nominee. The elections which have taken place show that- the party -is weaker than it was last year, and that the reaction against it Is still in progress. If the Republicans who reinforced the Democratic party last year only practiced a stratagem to secure the nomination of Grant, as was al leged, why do they not go back..; It is quite true that their great losses in the : autumn electionli alarmed the Republicans,and fright ened them into taking a candidate who is not connected with them by his antecedents, cares nothing for their policy, and has bar tered his principles for a nomination. ,They caught a( his supposed prestige as drowning men are licahl to • catch at straws. Has he Imoyanei enough to save them ? The recent elections :demonstrate that he is not a float but a weight; that the jutrty is weaker this year dish it. was without him. In New Hampshire, in spite of a strenuous canvass, they lost part of their last year's majority. Coln t) necticut, in spite of more strenuous, nay, of desperate exEitions, they are worse beaten th.in they wet' last year. If General Grant hay any strewth 3IS a candidate, where k the proof of it ? What tinge the Republi cans gained by making him their candidate ? THE CASE WELL STATED. Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour addressed a large meeting at Bridgeport, Conn., last week. From his speech we make the follow ing extract, and ask tiff it the attention of every reader: "I eutured to ask to-day a very intelligent man, whose position in life is proof of his ca pacity and sagacity, how much ii - would cost the laboring man, or how many hours a la boring man would have to toil in miler to support himself Übe had no such thing us taxation; if, for example, a working man could procure his food and clothing at first cost, how many ;hours he would have to toil to support himself? and the answer was, "six hour,' which -use Wray, consider a very fair estlmale. -Now, you are to remember how much the east of every thing is multiplied by taxation in its various. forms. Now, all labor above .lx hours is put upon you by the tax-gatherer. It is put upon you by the policy of the Government. Of course we cannot lift the load of taxation altogether frotif, the people You cannot reduce the hours of labor to sixhours per day; but I tell you, those of you who toil in the workshops, when you have labored . your six hot" - when you are beginning to feel your arms weary, and you desire either mental occupation or enjoyment with your fatuities, the tax-gath erer comes In and says: "No; we own four hours of your labor yet—yon must pay them to us.'

THE jury in the Cole-Hiseock case have disagreed and been diScliargeA, atter an in effectual thoigh persistent effort oat the part of the Court to extort from them a verdict. A second trial is talked of, but as the jurors in this-ttr' et- one-atood.staftzr acquittal and f.or eunvjetitm i ,it is notlikely that it will result more tlttfavotable to the prisoner.

TEE - BATTL E THE BATTLEFIELD AND TEE CANDIDATE. The great issue of the pending ponflictis, shall the Government created by. the Consti tution be perpetuated, or shall it be supplan ted by a centralized organism? Subordinate to this and connected therewith arc the questions of reconstruction, of fiegro'suprema cy and of national finance. Radical leaders see these the means' to the attainment of their great end. States are coerced into the sup port of this project ; negro votes are valueless but for this object, and patronage and place, banks, treasury and financial agencies are made to lend their powerful influence, to the preservation of Radical rule, to the centrali zation of the Government and the overthrow of the Constitution. The battle to be waged involves the vitality of our iustitutions. • The ,battle-field in this great struggle is Pennsylvania. In Presidential contests fur seventy years, the Keystone has invariably voted with the majority. ller vote in Octo ber has always been the certain precursor of her verdict in November. Success in Octo ber is invariably i followed by success in No vember; defeat n October is the herald of defeat in November. Her voice in October is potential . with other Commonwealths, for New York and New Jersey usually follow her lead, and always show sympathetic action. Our victory in October, 1867, swelled the majority in New York in November. To lose the October election, is to luse Pennsyl vania. The loss of Pennsylvania is the loss of the battle. The loss of thLs battle is the destruction of the'Government. Here is our Thermopyhe ; the "ides" of October deter ' mine our destiny. To wiu this contest eve ry energy should be bent; to insure success every extraneous aid should C?a yielded us ; to compel this victory our brethren every where should aid us. The action of the New York. Convention In its selection of a candidate *ill be potent in its bearings for good orevil upon ourcause in OClaber, and that 'great party,"tribunal of thelast resort" should heed the voices of our counsellors, and attentively ponder the views of the leading men of our deWgation. Penn sylvania is uncommitted to a candidate. She will sacrifice to success everything* but prin ciple. We- believe that her Fletegation will esteem-auecess here in October vital to suc cess throughout the Union in November; that they will insist upon the choice of that crualidate who will most essentially aid us in carrying our State, and that they will resist, with all honorable means, the nomination of any one mhuse antecedents or present posi tion will tend to make that result in any de gree probleinatical. We believe that they will regard the prestige of a great name, or the most faultless party record, as of no weight, if it be rendered clear that success is jeopardized by the selection of their possCssor. The hour is inopportune for the requital of party services or the elevation of party idols.. Our first duty is to save the Government ; and we mistake the character of those great men who arc now prominent for the nomina tion at New York, if, in the spirit of self-sac rifice, they too, do not say "everything for the cause, nothing for men." The choice of a candidate is net difficult, when an invin cible will for the preservation Of the Govern ment, a spirit of cordial co-operation for suc cess and a determinatiori to sacrifice our Fair sonal preferences to the common good, are brought to, the task. The mass of our De mocracy are deeply imbued with these senti ments. bthe)" regard success here as a tal prerequisite to final victory; and therefore they insist upon the nomination of one who can assuredly, carry Pennsylvania. There are such, men, both-- - soldiers and civilians, men of large minds, thoroughly trained in the logic of our governmental system and in the traditions of our party, of spotless reputation, of unblemished party record, and surrounded with the. prestige of success. Give xis one of these, and our march to victory will be an easy and a triumphant one.—Clearfield Re pallier:o. • Snot Northern Republicans as refuse to allow the nem-roes to vote at home, cannot, without the most fiagrunt,Nlliberality," in sist on toning negro suffrage upon the peo ple of the South.

Mscstruir, in his celebrated account of the trial by impeachment of Warren Ham. has thew 'remarks : "Whatever confi dence may be placed in the decision of the Peers on an appeal arising out of an ordinary litigation, 1; is certain that no man has the least confidence in their impartiality, when a great public functionary, charged with a great State crime, is brought to the bar. They are all politicians. These is hardly one among them whose vote on an impeachment may not be confidently predicted before a witness had been examined." • Tree Committee of the Democratic l Soldiers and Sailors, which met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last week, included "Generals J.

Any • person posseising knowledge concerning it will please commu nicate with the Managers of the 'Radical show that opens on the 20t4 Inst. ' • THE New York Herald says that, "During war the laws are silent," was a maxim which the government of, Mr. ,Lincoln strove to soften as much as possible, rarely .invading the just dominion of the civil power except in cases of the last extremity. But with our present Senatorial revolutionists this old maxim has been materially modified, until now it may be said to read: "After war - the laws shall be abolished altogether." Mits. STax•ros, in her paper called the Revolution, puts the following pointed in terrogatory "Why 'pell-mell' for Grant when all ad mit that Ile is unfit for-that position 9" We can tell Mrs. Stanton that the people are not going "pell-mell" for. Grant. He never was successful, except when he had five to one on his side; and in this contest he has not even one for one. TUB Chicago Tribune, the Chief Radical. organ of the West, says : Few Persons, we imagine, would seriously propose to elect Mr. Wade as President. He has neither the culture, the temper, the education, nor the judgment requisite ifor the positin.

As "An LSTERLII" MAJIIIIAGE.—Another curious case of marriage occurred near Grandview, lowi4 last week. A young gen tleman living iti-Johnsen'connty, lowa, pro cured a marriage license in that county, and went to Loulia county to carry away one of its fair maidens,' He engaged a clergyman of Grandview to de the hymenial knot, who did so on the strength of the Johnson coun ty license. They slept on it one night, but only to learn, on awakening in the morning, ihritif they were - married at all, It was only an "ad interim," so to speak, for that if the marriage was legal, the partied en in It were liable to fine. What should be done! They couldn't take it back, that was certain, and more, they didn't want to. A council was held, and it was decided that the groom and clergyman should go to Wappello, pro cure a license, and. go -through - the motions again. They came; and the groom wanted the license dated back one day "to kiver ac cidents," but the judge refused. The license, however, Was issued, liind the anxious couple made one according to law. Miss TERESA Cotters, of London, has been putting her sweetheart through a course of sprouts : It was even in evidence I,n the Marlborough street Pollee Cceill, on the 12th that she had, on one occasion, stabbed him in the arm with a knife; that, on another; she had stabbed him in the face with a fork; that, on a third, she had given him seven wounds on the bead with a loaded _candle stick ; that, on a fourth, she had nearly goug ed his eye out with a key ; that, on a fifth, she had cut his forehead with a plate ; that, on a !dub, she had stabbed him in the thigh with a pocket knife; and that, on a seventh; she had knocked out three of. his teeth with a glass, and cut his throat with the fragments afterward. Altogether he had been five times to the hospital through her violence. At last he gave her into custody, observing that he should. "not have taken so severe a course with a lady if she had not done it so often." Tun extraordinary phenomena of a man marrying a man' occurred in an adjoining county, but a few- days ago. A gentleman "wooed and won" the hand of 'a young lady. The day of the nuptials was appointed and the groom "came to, time," as did, apparent ly, the lady. But it seems the lady had a juvenile brother, resembling her; so closely that, when - dressed in calico, none but the most practiced eye could discover: - the differ, ence between them. -Ile presented himself, was saluted with a kiss, and an unauthorized prelate of the magisterial persuasion went through the ceremony of making the twain, one. Music and dancing filled the honr, and all went on charming until—the cat wits on cloaked. What a sad disappointment !

The last day, and be fore they had paid their bill, a dispute arpse about the speed of their horses. They at last settled upon a race. The landlord-was appointed judge, each being rider of his own horse. When they were mounted, the judge like those of the Olympic games, gave the word—one, two, three and go. Off they went, and have neither been seen nor heard of since ; leaving the landlord fully compen sated by having had the honor to be judge. AN extraordinary suicide of four persons recently took place in Veraponin, France. An innkeeper in easy circumstances, named Thi not, with his wife and two children, aged six Sears and seven and a half, were found lying together on a bed suffocated by four pans of charcoal which they had lighted in the room. On the table was a will in the handwriting of the wife, leaving the half of their fortune to the hospital of Soissons and the remainder to two neices, and stating that they had commit- ted the act alter mature reflection. because the husband was afflicted with an incurable pulmonary disease. WE leapt that a few days since a lady had occasion to go into thS basement of her house to attend to some duty, and left her baby, a few months old, in charge of a_young girl, in the upper part of the house. The-youngster got fretfitl, and, to please it, the girl tied it to a sheet, let it ont of the window, three stories from the ground, and when seen, was amus ing it by raising it up and down in the sheet, which she held by her bands inside. The performance was discovered by some of the neighbors, who were not long in putting a stop to it.—Galena (Ill.) Gazitte.

Mower, aged about sixteen, having been out raged by a negro'soldier on Ship Island, the soldier had been privately murdered by the General, Lis body put into a sack and thrown into the Gulf. A sufficient commentary upon the story may be derived from the fact. that Gen. Mower, who is now about 35 years old, is not married, and has never had a daugh ter. Two boys near Parkersburg, Va.; were re caddy looking for hens' nests, when .one of them crawled under the barn to examine, and soon returned, saying the hen had picked him.
