the vast industry of politics, had acquired an almost
royal opulence and power. Through the rigorous
machinery of party discipline they had so dragooned
the masses as to render them the mere servants of
their will ; and they had thus become as much the
masters of their political expression and the party
revenues, as the slave barons were the masters of
the agricultural populations of the South. It is not
strange, therefore, when we look at this state of
things with thinking eyes that chieftains thus
bloated with false authority should at length come
to the arrogant conclusion that a people who would
obsequiously concede such privileges were unequal
to the duty of self-government., and might be ca-
joled into extending such privileges in perpetuity."
Here we find a strong Radical arriving at precisely
the same conclusio:i as a Democrat, Atned6e H.
Simonin, whose pamphlet lately furnished us with
the text for an article. Both the Democrat and the
Republican cin'ider the institutions of the United
States to be in danger from the ambition of an oli-
garchical faction, the only difference being who con-
stitute that faction. The Spirit " warns the Ame-
rican people that this is a. plot ; that it is a la Nyers'
plot ; that it is shared in by all the lawyers of the
Senate who voted for the acquittal of Andrew
Johnson, and that its deliberate purpose is (and if
Johnsen is acquitted its inevitable result must be)
the entire subversion of our present form of govern-
ment for the British Constitution, with an imperial
finish. It matters not by what name such a Go-
vernment is called, or by what title we may wor-
ship i-s Executive; it will form a despotism of
almost an Asian stamp, and its chief officers will be
as much of an aristocratic order as the members of
the French Corps Legislatif, or of the British
Parliament. Neither does it matter whether the
acquittal which inaugurates such revolution comes
attended with any civil shock or actual bloodshed ;
it marks not the less the overthrow of our whole
form of government, and must supervene in coun-
ter-revolution when the people comprehend how
they .have been betrayed." Now see what A.
11. Simonin says :—" The thousand oligarchists
are about to depose the President under the
pretext that he has violated the laws, while
it is they who have violated them. It is the be-
ginning of the execution of the coup d etat so long
premeditated ; it is, perhaps, also the beginning of
a civil war that will lead us to Mexican anarchy."
The Spirit considers it no doubtful sign that there
is a universal expression of gratification in all the
Courts of Europe at the President's acquittal, the
joy at the verdict being liveliest in England. But
if there be a conspiracy, Butler is the man to ferret
it out. Any one who wants to see a thorough-
paced despot, an aristocrat of the most bloated de-
scription, should go to Washington and have a look
at Ben. Butler. The committee acting under his
auspices employs spies, opens mail-bags, seizes tele-
gram and private papers, while compelling citizens
of all classes to appear at its bar for cross-examina-
tion. The Managers of the Western Union, bankers
and brokers Franklin telegraph lines, were sum-
moned by an officer despatched from Washington
to Baltimore to appear before the investigating
committee, and left Baltimore on the 23d May. A
lawyer named Woolley, known to have received a
large sum shortly before the acquittal on the
eleventh Article, has been repeatedly and closely
cross-questioned, Butler being under the impression
that he acted for the President to corrupt Senators.
Mr. Newton, a New York broker, was examined on
the 21st. Several telegrams and a private letter
sent to him from Washington • were shown to him.
" That letter," said Mr. Newton, " was stolen;" ad-
ding, iu reply to Mr. Butler, " I suppose that
you stole it." When asked if he had heard
that money had been raised for the President, he
said that he had—a committee of New Yorkers be-
longing to both parties had subscribed $lOO,OOO,
the whole to be given to the President if convicted,
and half if acquitted. Mr. Cooper, the President's
private secretary, was also examined on the 21st
May, and testified that au agent professing to act
for senator Pomeroy, of Kansas had offered to re-
% erse the votes of five Radical Senators, who other-
wise would support Impeachment, for the sum of
$40,000, and produced an autograph letter from
the Senator in support of what he said. Of course
Mr. Pomeroy indignantly denied all knowledge of
the plot, which Mr. Cooper on oath had sworn to
have been proposed. On the 20th Senator lieu-
derson was examined, and was asked why he had
dined with the Chief Justice, and what took place
at the dinner, but Mr. Butler refrained from ques-
tioning hint as to what the dishes and decanters
contained. Mr. Henderson, however, signified that
these dishes and decanters had something to do with
his dining at Mr. Chase's table, as well as with the
thirteen other Senators present on the occasion ;
but he declined to retail the private talk of the gueats•
He was asked whether he had sought any offices from
the President for his friends, and he stated he had
not. Before retiring he strongly protested against
the proceedings, and occupied the time of the Senate
nearly all the next dty by his complaint of the in-
dignity put on himself and on the assembly. Mr.
Boynton testified that Senator Ross weeks before
had told him that he intended voting for conviction
on the eleventh Article, but the Senator declares
that he never saw Boynton, We imagine that the
conspiracy has, like most of Mr. Butler's schemes of
late, broken down, proving on investigation to be a
mare's nest. At the same time grave objection is
taken to the proceedings of Mr. Chase, who 1330
openly used his position to defeat Impeachment,
and to forward his own interest as a candidate for
the Presidency. The Springfield Republican says, and
all will allow it, that it yields as little to political pre.
judices as a newspaper well can, that " from the
first moment of his elevation it is notorious that the
Chief Justice has sought, by every means, and with
less than the ordinary modesty of American politi-
cians, to accomplish this object."
