some Gays that our Children wont git nothin-
If that is done, aud some says thay ar gwine
to fisticnte oil we have got and make q devide
Of it., and all them what amt got nothin' will
come in for a shere. Now I tell you, Mr. Edi-
tor, what is the truth. hardly no what 10
think will bee the best to do-one thing is
sertin, all them what amt got no Children,

no wont suffer. So bleve that I'll take
that side Now don't you think am workin

that the corn crop this year will be one of the

prospect in this (Jackson) County is much
better than it was last year at this time. Cot

Nothing moro clearly shows the partisan
ends with which the powers Of government
are administered BY the dominant party, than
the reasons urgcdb by those Of them who oppose
the impeachment of che President. They do not
put the case on its merits at all; they do not
say the President deserves not to be i'm
peached they do not protest against the
black crime which Congress would commit
if it abused and perverted sacred judicial
trust to the accomplishment Of party adj
vantage. Their argument is, that it is not
accessory to their party objects. They can do
all they wish without The implication is,
that If necessary to the party predomnance,
the Presidents head would be voted into the
basket mem. con-. The virtue is that of the
hiehwayman who said to his fellows: "Don't
murder the man,-he has got no money!" The
New York Ereiing Post puts the case thus:
WHY IMPEACH?-We are glad TO see that the
House Of Representatives does not favor the project
of impcaching the President. Why should he be
Unmatched? lie is poweress. He may 30 on ap-
pointing copperheads to Office: that did not gain
him the late elections. He may 90 on advising
Southern men to resist the Amendment they will
only regret it, if they take his advice. The pres
ont Congress can pass any just and necessary mea-
sure over his veto; and tho next Congress. which
will assemble rs as this ono dssolves, is even
more radical than this.
In the next Congress the Republicans will be
strong enough to do what they please, and they
will have this power during the whole OF MIR. John
sons term.
