- ,THE Supreme Court has reversed the

of Chief Justice Thompson is to the ef

THERE is a disposition among some of

The unterrificd Democracy of this State

purpose - ;to ..s.ny a few words about the
candidates they nominated, the delegates

passed.
For the position iof Auditor daneral
of- the State, they-placed in nomination
the name of CHARLES E.'BoYLE, of Pay

most bitter and intense Cepperhead coun
ty, and, Of course, is n fiiiFfilpresentative
of such a constituency. ibis just the,.
kind of-man to please the great majority
of the rebel-loving Demi.crael .of the

of misguided Union men in their party,
'it was, thought necessary in order to se

President, judging' of its constitutional
ity for - himself, -- disobeys - •the - act.- The
House, judging for itself, impeaches him
for it ; and the Senate, judging" of the
same question, for - itself, convicts- and.
removes him from office. - Mr. Johnson
is at full liberty to regard -.the act un
constitutional it' it affords him any coin- ,
fort.. There is no restraint on liberty of .
conscience and opinion. But the diffi
culty is, that for all purposes ofimpeach
ment the Senate is the only:body. whose _
opinion of its - constitutionality is of any
consequence."
They_ _tb , n yet,nl,f, tL.a thn
iMpeaChnient
.of. the President of the
United States is a gross and. reckless
abusb of partisan power, without justi-,
.fiable cause," &c. _This they also k.noNst
to be false in every particular: The
Constitution cf the United' Slates makes
ample provision for inipeachment ; and
ant-ely, if' ever an officer were liable under
tjtat'provision',then is Andrew Johnson.
The Repnblicam party:, nstead of' taking
this stop as a 'littetisan ine:lsure, with a
.caution and magnanimity unparalleled
in the history of legislative hodies,.re:
fused to resort to impeachment untiLthe
safety of the nation demanded it. When,
m Executive not only refusal—to-exe—
cute the laws, he was sworn to have ex
ecuted, but also openly and defiantly
violated them, then and not until then,
was Andrew Johnson arraigned, to .an
swer.the charge of being guilty Of "high
crimes and misdemeanors." With a
congistency truly Democratic, they re
solve that a speedy return to specie pay
ment "is essential to theintcLrosts ofthe
people and the prosperity of the nation,"
and in the very next breath declare that
the five twenty bonds, as they become
due should be paid in legal tenders.. .
We will not follow them further through
their platform pyolutions at present, but
will content ourselves with noticing the
fact that, while 17 the lasttwo years tiDy

Another noticeable feature of their
performance is that they failea to, in

Tun IMiEA6IIMENT COURT ORGANIZED.—
The impeachment court has at last been or:
canized. After Mr. Hendricks concluded
his speech yesterday, by Baying thiit as the
Senate was not yet a court of impeachment,
according to the deeisdoM of - the Chief JOB:
tice, he withdrew: his original motion, by
which Mr. Wade was debarred from voting,
intimating_ kiln° e_r enew_it „at _tho
proper time. Mr.. Wade then came up, and
raising his hand, took.the oath.

the Chief Justice is looked upon by the Dein 7 ,

oath after Mr. Wade:

the - Co - nrtof=Tmpeachm`cnt was organized,

the proclamation. .„
llc_then . stated . that the taws for the regu
lation of the triat,. ; passed by the senate on
the 2d instant, were not, in hit judgment,,
valid. They were then promptly passed by
the Court of Impeachment, as the basis of
the grand inquest. Ddring this time, indi
vidual managers of the Impeachment were
seen gliding in and out the rear of the Sea
-ate. Mr. "toward, who seeMs TO be consid

There is a general feeling of satisfaction
that the nnexpected difficulty, relative fo the
folmation of the Impe,chtnent Court, was
so unexpectedly; overcome,. and that the
louse of Ruresentatives has passed another
mile stone on the road_ of Impeachment.—
Passion and partisanship, if any were felt or

all feel thartlib President is no more than
any other offender against the law, and that
he will have as fair and impartial a trial as
acy ordinary citizen The speculation still
continues 'as to the duration of the trial.—
The President's friends claim no more than
ninety days, while those who favor impeach

of in thirty days less than that time:
The President has not yet decided who

Is its'effeet to cover up end confine to' the

think it is not true. Because we 'do not
find ii n , snow itself', such a quantity of food
as would benefit plants. And' whilst we
concede the fact that a winter of snow is
beneficial, we think it is only so,, when it
covers the - ground , throughout the whole
winter. Occasional and heady snoysiying
just long enoug'h to draiiinll frost out of
the earth, and start the life of the plant,
followed by a ihaw to the bare earth, and
subsequent 'frost" and wind is what 'the
farmer has to fear ; and' let the quantity of
snow have been what it' mnyrit 'has only
served to destroy the fiirmer's hopes.' Wheat
is a winter plant, and by nature capable of
enduring uny - degree.of 'cold in winter and
heat in summer, but never both at the seem
swdon We may N;enture to _affirm „that if
wheat -- were frozen - with 'the Ciirth in the
early part of winter and so,. remained until
early- spring .the
_same productive crops
would follow. It is the alternate freezing
and thawing, which breaks and forces the
roots of wheat from their bed and exposes
them to the winds of Maich„ of which 0 , 0
have to complain. But how are wo to
guard against this ? for theoretical problems
are of little consequence,•unles‘s they MITI be
solved for practical 11 . ,ed profitable results.
It is a: fact which as perhaps fallen within
the observation of every farmer, that poor

contingencies of an irregular season, than'
that which is in good. huhrt and well culti

harvest. More. manuro upon' our_ wheat

make it pay bountifully for the amount of

bushels of wheat it will take to !my for two,
