Articles of ImDeachmpnt.

A copy of the articles of impcach-
ment reported by majority of the
Committee, will be found on the outside
of this paper. To our reading they are
lame, spcciOus and impotent-all brass
and sound, a tale thrice told-and not
likely to result in serious damage to the
Prcsidcnt or any one else, unless it be
the distinguished and patriotic gentle
men from whom the report cmanatcd.
and the party of which they are evil
IDENTITY bright and shining lights. There
is said to be clear count of twenty ma
iority against the impeachment move
ment in the House, and we predict that
it will prove n miserable failure. A
short time will determine.
Later adviccs state that only fifty
seven votes can be counted in the House
in favor of impeachment.
