THE GREAT BAcKDowN.

The great impeachment humbug is
exploded. The impeachers have backed
down. Shame and disgrace settle on the
impeachers and render them centemph-
bic in the public eye. johnson is vindi'
Gated, and his enemies are bathed IN
bushes. A special to the St Louis
Republican of yesterday says;
The House Judiciary Committee to day
closed the impeachment Investigation
which thew commenced under an order
ofthe House, and in pursuance OF charges
made by Representative Ashley, OF ONO,
in January last. After taking nearly 2OOO
pages of printed evidence during SEES
sion covering five months, the committee
nroceeded to vote on the report 1t should
make TO the House. The result was as
follows: On the question Does the evl'

SINGULAR LOGIC.

A Western German paper, in abiding
tn the liberation of Mr.. Davis, says: The
discussion of this affair, which, in
consequence of Mr. Greeleys action in
the premises, became very lively in the
Eastern press, has taken a new shape.
1t seems incredible, and yet it is true,
that the antipodes Of Mr. Greeley have
succeeded in giving to the question a
financial aspect. The Herald, now
q virtuous Radical paper, first made the
discovery that the release of jeff Davis
is bound to lead TO a reputation. II
JEFF. Davis was no criminal, then IT
was a crime to fight against him; hence
the people should be required to pay the
expenses incurred by the preparation Of
that crime. Q. E. D. That great discov-
cry was instantly followed by still
more astounding theory. The contrary
of the Herald doctrine is true, says the
N. Y. Abendzeitung, the leading Radical
German paper Of that city. We have
not hung JEFF. Davis, we therefore are
bound to pay the Confederate debt In
setting him at liberty, our Government
has declared that Davis represented a
belligerent power. la that case We have
conquered and annexed belligerent
State whose debts we are obliged to pay,
just as Prussia is bound to pay the debt
of Hanover and Hessia.

uENRY CLAY FORGOTTEN.

Last week statue Of Henry Clay was
unveiled at Louisville. The occasion is
embraced by the Radical press to cast
dirt at the reputation of that great spirit.
One paper printed in the city where a
proposition was made to send arsenic to
tbe famine. stricken inhabitants of the
South, speaks of Henry Clay as " for
gotten name" Forgottenl An essay,
nay, book, written on the downfall OF
political virtue in America, by the ablest
hand that ever welded pen, could not
illustrate our condition in language
more graphic than is conveyed in the
two words, forgotten name T. Is he
forgotten2 If so, then some of the most
brilliant passages in our history have
gone down in the boys Of a universal
deprayity, and the memory has ceased
to retain the image of events that cele-
brated the fame of America all over the
world Then, public virtue; the highest
order of craftsmanship; elOquence,
that commanded the attention OF
n continent and thrilled the soul of
liberty; manhood, in its loftiest develop
ment; courage, that disdained all fear
and domineered over weaker natures
these, all these are forgotten. More, the
memory that cannot retain the name of
Henry Clay, is a wilderness offoul weeds,
jungle for beastlY thoughts to snarl in.

coo there. Nothing can exist that is not

How have the mighty fallen His
name is not the only one it is, at this
day, convenient to forget That of Wash
ington is in danger His dust is already
expelled from the Union. How long will
it be before his image is stricken from
our capitols, our courts, our offices, and
all the public places ? Certainly no man
of all the predominant party of our day
regards his principles. He was a Vir'
ginian; that is enough. He was virtuous,
honest; that is too much. He did not
discover that political millennium could
be brought about by the mastery Of one
section over another, and the obliteratioB
of third of the States Of the Union. he
was too ignorant to make the discovery,
that to secure the harmony and prosper
ity Of the whole country, one halt Of the
Union should be held by bayonets, taxed
without representation, and despoiled
generally of its property. No, he was
too stupid to discover that So was
Henry Clay, so was Webster, so were al
the Adamses, the Everetts, the Van Blu
rens, the Wrights-so were all the old
statesmen of the earlier, ignoranter
periods Of the republics history. Nc
wonder they are forgotten. 1t is conve-
nient ever, for corruption to forget virtue
and pigmies to dicparage the dead giants.
But no; there yet remain a great NUM-
Der of people who have not forgotten
Henry Clay, nor any other virtuou'
