that II will end in smoke. And |
am assured that such, also, is the con-

were persons more deceived. This
impeachment movement is n dclibcr-
olcly planned affair among the boldcr
Of the Radicals, and will be put
through at all hazards. The Judi
ciary committee will report articles
of impeachment against the Prcsi-
dent, and the House will adopt them
aud send them TO the Senate. That
is just as certain as that Congress i
now in session, aud is the representa-.
tive of the Radical revolutionary Gle.
mcnt of the country.

Supreme Court must bc reconstruct

be made to consist Of adulteratcd

johnson rctres from Office. And
further, what may be the result of th,
next Presidential election il Mr.
johnson continues to be President
Here are three things that can b,
made sure of only by the removal o
Mr.. johnson from the office he nov
fills. Aud unless these three thing
can be secured, the Radical part,
must goto speedy grave. Th'
leaders are, therefore, in dead carnes
in this impeachment business. Th,
Judiciary committee that has il il
charge, we are informed, will conduc
lis investigation in secret. All her
know what that means. Ii will b
remembered that this same commit
tee, in conducting the investigation
last year in the attempt TO implicat
Mr.. jefferson Davis as one of III
, conspirators to assassinatc Mr.. Lin
coin, excluded Mr.. Rogers, the onl
Democratic member in il, from al
knowledge OF what was going on
II will treat him in the same way il
this Impeachment investigation. Th
committee is, with one exception, un
compromising Radicals, and strongl,
favor impeachment. II is made "

Democrat.
II is well understood among th'
knowing Radicals here, that the com
mittee will report articles Of impcach
nent, and that the House will adop
them. II only requires bare ma
! jority TO pass them, 50 that the Dol,
+ leaders can afford to lose some veal
