Of Vulnmliia County,
Ckowdkd. We have still neglected
fo apologise to our patrons for the
crowded condition of our advertising
i oluiuiif , and the consequent want of
ito.ns ntid'tiews of general interest. The
Approaching Treasurers salt) wilKctuedy
the Cornier, and tho addition of four
columns to our sheet which wo hope
to effect about the first of. July; to
gcther with a firm determination to use
every effort to make tho Advocate a
liistrate county paper, will likewise
remove the latter.
Politically, tho Advocate will contin
ue to bo red. hot Democratic ; at the
came time, if any of our Republican
friend desire to defend their principles,
they will always Le welcome.
END OF Dll'EA C1IMENT.
The flirh Court of Impeachment is
no more. The astute body dignified by
that name met for the last time on Tues
day last. The snake has been scotched.
The dog is dead. Let the friends of
liberty rejoice. Let praises ascend to
Supreme Omnipotence for His delivery
of the nation from the Jacobinical hye
nas who were sucking its life blood.
The High Old Court met on Tuesday
la.st. Every Senator was in his seat.
The second and third articles of itu.
peachment were called up, and were
defeated by the same vote that laid out
tiie.llth article l'J to 35. A motion
was then made that the Impeachment
Court adjourn without day,which motion
was opposed by the friends of Johnson,
uho wished to vote on tho remaining
urticlcs. But tho Jacobins carried
their motion, and so ended the great
farce of impeachment, and with it the
hopes of the Radical party leaders of
ever again gettiug their hands on the
reins of Americau government.
In the meantime Andy Johnson
still stays in the White House head,
i:eck and shoulders above all his accu
sers. The ordeal through which ho has
passed has endeared h:m to thousands
of Democrats, who before it had no ex
alted opinion of his policy. And'IBW
Johnson to day stauds tho giciitest
btatcsmaii in America.
Immediately after tho acqui'tal was
announced Stanton, in a note to the
President, relinquished control of tho
War Dopartmcnt. Had he done so
when ho was kicked out, he might have
saved his self respect, and the country
half a inilliou dollars expeu.se, attendant
ou the late trial.
B&Who are the Democratic County
Committee of Elk, and what are they
doing towords getting tho party in work,
ing order for the approaching campaign '!
This question has been asked us by sev
eral, but we were unable to givo a defi.
nite answer at the time. Wo believe
that as yet there is none. Last year's
committer's time expired with tho close
of the last campaign, and wo learn that
this has been tho custom iu former
years. We think that this is not as it
t-hould be, und wo would suggest that
the old committee's duties are not disi
charged until after tho County Convcn.
ion has been held, when after cuudi.
dates have been nominated for the dif
ferent offices, a new committee should
be organized. Tho summer term of our
Court now comes in August, which is
too late. We wero u few days ago re
quested to suggest the 2nd TU ESDA Y
of July for holding tho Convention.
The several districts should therefore
hold their primary meetings before the
1st of July, aud elect their delegcgtes
to said Convention.
Thorough organization u the surest
precnsor ot victory, and no Democrat
should bo lu'irard in securing it.
LETTEll FROM FJTTSlCJiGI.
Sr. Lawuknck Horn,, 1
PrnsiiLkoii, May 'JA, lsC.8.
Mil. Em ro:t : 1 have been stopping
here tor some days past, and in order to
i.uprovo the time to see what is to be
seen, mid hear what is to bo heard, 1
last evening attende. I the great (was to
tie; ratification meeting in the City Hall.
It had been announced in all the Radi
cal city dailies that Gen. Daniel E.
Sickles, of New York, Gen. John A.
Logan, ot Illinois, Maj. Janies Hegnrty,
of New Ym k.'Uon, Lec, of Connecticut.,
anil many other distinguished speakers,
would be present to address tho moot
insr. I went at an early hour and se
cured a seat where I could see and hear
all that transpired. The meeting was
called to older by the chairman of the
committee, and Thomas M. Marshall
was appointed President, but Thomas
did not appear, so the chairman of the
committee took the chair himself.
James Ilegai ty, who was the first
speaker, appeared. to bo not only a reue.
gade Democrat, but a renegade Irish
man. He told several anecdotes about
the Irish at the Irishman's expense, and
said the Irish were deceived by the
Democratic party pretending friendship
for the laborer, but he was not anxious
for labor, and wished to work as little
as possible, us much as to say, " I dem't
belong to that class of Irishmen who
havo to labor, and therefore these pro
fessions tor the laborer had no induce,
incuts for me." lie next tried to snow
that some Southerner had characterized
the stoiking class as " .uudsills," and
scouted the idea that negro labor would
come iu competition with the Irish la
borer and reduce his wages thereby.
So far I think he was right, for exper
ience proves that the fiee linen will not
work when they can steal. He then
eulogized tho negro soldier, aud said
Pied Douglass could make a better
speech than most white men, and there
fore they (the negroes) ought to vote.
He sain wiih a million of negro votes
tiiey Ciul l be it tho Democrats evuiy
ti in . He then' told us they wero going
to make the city of New York a Repub
lican city us much so as the great city
of Pittsburgh. At this point a gentle
sitting beside me remarked, if they at.
tempted to make the negro the issue iu
Pittsburgh, they would fail as they had
done last fall in the electiou of Mayor.
" 1 voted asaiust that principle then.
aud I shall do it again. The negro is
more than I bargained for," said he. So
you sec, .Mr. Editor, that'the programme
as foreshadowed by these apostles of
Grant und Colfax, just warm from the
Chicago Convention, is negro equality,
although they have uot the manliness to
say so in their platloim, aud neither
Grant or Colfax have solar acknowl
edge!) it in their acceptance of the nom
ination. One feature of the argument
was observable from tho beginning to
the cud of bis lemarks, and that was a
disposition to ignore the Constitution,
aud whenever it was necessary to say
Constitution, liberty and law was sub.
stituteil. Ami in order that there mi-jrht
be no misapprehension upon that, ;he
speaker said that tho Democratic, party
aud Audrew Johnson had great regard
for the Constitution, bu, miht us well
talk about carrying buttles constitution,
ally, aud the several commanders be re
quired to command fire constitutionally,
charge bayonets constitutionally, etc.
'1 be uext speaker was Geueral Lee,
but so soon us the audience discovered
that they had been deceived; that
neither Sickles or Logan was'prescut.

of pitchlorks would have prevented its
