Wendell Phillips on the Impeachment of the
President.

. The AHi- Slarc5y Standard gives the follow
ing;
The House of Representatives is urged to i'm
peach President johnson. We add our voice to
the demand There are abundant reasons for
the measure, and the need of it is self-evident.
If the present emergency does not demand a
recurrence of this Constitutional method of pro-
lection, it is impossible to conceive one which
would But we hold impeachment CT little or
no value, indeed useless, unless the House,
when it lays its articles Of impeachment before
the Senate, demands chat Johnson be suspended
from the exercise of his functions, and that
act as President until Johnson is acquitted, or,
in any other result of the trial, until the next
Pres dental term commences. Without this,
the Constitutional provisicr for impeachment is
a sham As II is, the remedy is wholly unat-
tainable in ordinary circumstances. But if the
impeached President, unlike other accused and
impeached officers, is to be allowed to carry on
his illegal schemes while on trial, and until the
Senate pronounces him guilty, tbs whole pro-
vision is worse than useless The true rule un-
doubtedly is, that when--of the House Of
Representatives proDounces the President guilty
of grave misconduct aud offers to the Senate
evidence of its accusation, the incumbent ceases
to nave the right to exercise his Office until ac-
quilted. This is the only construction that
leaves any value in the Constitutional clause
and when we remember how powerful the Ike,
cntive must always be to prevent any action
against himself by the House, We see there can
be 10 danger in recognizing it as the Constlt1.
tonal rule, although no express provision for il
is made in that instrument. Further still, we
urge on the Thirty-ninth Congress, before it ad
journs to provide by law for the assembling o.
the Fortieth Congresson the 5th day OF March
1867. As the Constitution now stands, the For
tieth Congress will not assemble till December
1861, thus leaving the whole term, from Marcel

The Situation.

The New York Journal Of Commerce, conser.
vative paper has the following comments upon
the recent elections:
The smoke of the contest has not cleared away
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa, but
enough is visible to see clearly the same remark
| able state Of affairs which has been seen in the
North for five years. The people are just about
equally divided on the great questions of the
day. There is no such preponderance in the
votes Of either party as TO indicate any great
and lasting majority. 1t is one Of the most mars
vellous thugs il history that for so long time,
from election to election, in the midst of the ut
most excitement, through war, and peace fol-
lowing war the fotes oil the immense governing
population Of the Northern States should remail
about equally divided on the grandest questions
ever submitted 10 the decision of people. Here
lessons for the world to learn in this state Of
affairs. There are also lessons for the country
tO learn.
Iiis plain tha. the majority ofthe citizens of
the United States are opposed to the course TAX
en- by Congress, and in favor Of the policy of the
President. Halt the people of the North and all
the peOi Ut the South, are agreed in this. On
the other hand, it is plain that the minority Of
the people, and very deciced minority at that,
now rule, and will continue to rule the country.
II is not u rule Of the majority under which the
Inhabitants of the United States are to live.
distinctly recognized henceforth. Neither the
republican nor democratic party is dead. 1t has
seen very often said that the mission Of the re-
publican party was accomplished. Politicians
have repeatedly talked about the Gisjeetd mem-
bra of that party, and imagined that new pars
ty could be formed out of the conservative por-
tons of the old The lesson of this week is, tina.
the republican party is not dead, but is firm,
united and strong, and that there is no such
thing as conservatism in it. y,
The democratic party is no more dead than
the republican. The fires of afiliction have on
ly warmed it, and the blows of successive defeat
have only welded it into a more compact mass.
1t polls its huge vote just as heretofore, gaining
some in one place, losing some in another, but
always the sane old party. 1t is arrIni non
sense in the face Of such election as this in
Pennsylvania, where Mr.. Clymer polls oue-hllf
of the immense vote of the State-it is arrant
nonsense, we say, for any man looking at such
fact to talk of the democratic party as dead.
As it is, the fate of the nation is to depend
on the future action of these two political par
ties. They stand face to face just about even in
numbers. They are fercely opposed to each oth>
er. They are bent on directly opposite purpO-
ses. They are equally determined in their claim
of patriotism. If the party in power attempt
the revolutionary measures which have been
threatend, the otner party will unquestionably
stand by the Constitution and laws.

Restoration Of the Ieus

The well-infOrmed correspondent of the N. Y
World Chronicles the formation of a Society
which has for its object the restoration of the
Jews to the land oftheir fathers tie says:
The Society is being rapidly formed, with the
strongest influences, financial and POLITICAL, at
its back. The Rothsehilds. Sir Moses Montef-
ore, and other great capitalists among the Jews,
are actively in sympathy with the undertaking.
The plan he's the sympathy of more than one
crowned held in Europe, am ong them the En-
peror Napoleon, of whose special theory of ma
tionalities it's welcome development. Several
prominent nOblemen ofEngland, aud tGe lead
ing names of the Faubourg ST. German, are al
50 among its friends. As soon as the orgauza-
tion is completed the society Will obtain conces-
sions from Turkey, and proceed to establish the
bureau and build the road spoken of in the pa.
per.
From all quarters news is TO the effect that
the Jews are ready to emigrate, believing that
the day of their restoration is at hand The
stately words OF prophecy have peculiar signif.
icance to them in the present connection.

WHY THE GREAT POWERS WIZ AiD THE MovEMEs-.
Among the first European nations, France has
abundant reason to encourage a movement so
wholesome; for the signs of the times-rather
too yividly indicated, perhaps, in the recent
pamphlet of the Marquis de Laroche hejacquelin--
are that she needs no other edsus JelL than one
which is likely soon to occur as a sequel TO the
late German difficulties. Germany aud Austria
are both inter in maintaining some sepa-
rate government in the East; and England,
which fought for Il similar interest before TO her
great cost in men and means, will scarcely be
backward land her inhential men are not) in
putting her ounce of preventative into a scale,
the timely turning of which is SO likely to- pre-
vent the recurrence Of former difficulties The
last named power, too, safe and securely mo5ed
from all likelihood of disturbance as she ap-
pears to think herself, does not seem to be Sc,
cured from broil by reason of the rather rapid
mareh-estimated at the rate of fifty miles per
daJ-which Russian troops in Bucharest having
captured some important points, including one
OF the largest cities, of some fifty thousand in
habitants, have recently been making in the
direction Of its Indian frontier
The exigences of the period are favorable
and glance at the present financial condition
of Turkey, and the added embarrassment to the
Sultan caused by the instruction in Gambia,
show that the concessions desired from that
power will not be hard to obtain
