{rReNsiness Ab0ut the Future.

The Philadelphia North Anaericaa,
(Radieall on Tuesday, had leading ar
ticle upoi "The Crisis" full of alarm
ing expressions respecting the general
depression Of trade, which is painfully
felt throughout the country, and the
nervous apprehension Of business men
in view OF the future. It makes one
point which ought to have been discuss
ed some time ago. il is now almost too
late for such warning as the following:
eff the session of Congress were to
end on the 18th of March as usual, we
should have an end of political excite
ment, and the uncertainty respecting
tariffs, taxes and financial measures
would terminate. But the meeting of
the new Congress Immediately is very
likely to prevent trade from getting Il
fresh start with the opening Of spring.
We must candidly say that while the
nature Of the emergency may justify the
measure at this time, we do not think It
will be found to work we'll as a general
rule. So long as any Congress remains
in session, no matter what political par
ty nay control it. schemes Of all sorts
will be Matched IN it, or thrown into the
arena from without, to create distrac-
ton in the public mind and affect the
currents of business. y
Further on it says:
"The difficulty and danger attending
this whole matter are so apparent to all
that various attempts have been made
to arrange some sort of a compromise.
Universal amnesty and universal suff-
rage are proposed as the terms of such
an agreement, but as yet we see no
signs of yielding on either side. Some
road out of the peril must be found be-
fore long,"

During the Rec obstruction debate in
the House of Representatives last Fri
day, in reply to Mr.. Eldridge, Of Wis

spoke thus, despondingly:

enough of the spirit that sent us here
to carry out the will of the people, and

party of the country is not to be deter

of constitutional law and liberty. In

nothing but what is right, and will sub

time the Radical leaders, who, for par
tizan purposes, are seeking the over
throw of constitutional government,
understood this. The impeachment OF
President johnson in the manner and
by the men who propose it Will not be
submitted to by the people; and If the
.Jacobin leaders attempt to carry it out,
upon their heads must rest the conse-
auences. The Constitution makes trea-
son and high crimes the cause OF I'M
parchment. But is Andrew johnson a
traitor? Is he an enemy of his country :
He makes the Constitution his political
guide, and has labored to promote the
welfare of the people. At the COM
mencement of the late civil war he fol-
lowed the fortunes OF the old flag, sacri-

a traitor? Has he committed any
crime? Even Mr.. Stevens, who cares

and songs of thanksgiving and praise ascend

her removal therefrom hath left void which
cannot be filed, A marked feature of her
character was her dutiful affection and kind
ness, and the loving performance of all her
in the holier relation of life the same sweet
spirit of unselfsh devotion and tenderness was
manifested.
Many friends who loved her when living,
and mourn her when dead, deeply sy npa-

This impeachment scheme clearly
exhibits the character of the Radi-

knowledge that the object of the i'm

partizan purposes, to jeopardize their

And the farce of q trial which they
propose. Just look at it for moment.

there not arise one universal feeling of
scorn and detestation The people will
not permit the Radical eonspirators to
overthrow the Government Of their
fathers, and we warn the Jacobins that
they had better look we'll before they
take the perilous leap. They may cry
"rebel' and j" traitor to their hearts
content, but it will not, in this case,
serve 10 cover up and hide from the
public their diabolcal plans and pur-
poses. The lives sacrificed and the
money expended in carrying on war
for the preservation of the Union and
maintenance of the Constitution. shall
not have been in vain. And although
this great, free people will bear much
abuse of power, much neglect of duty,
especially when committed in the name
of liberty, they will hot permit the
great safeguards of the Constitution to
be stricken down in the midst OF peace,
and when the last armed foe has for two
years grounded his musket. And they
will not much longer permit the en-
mites Of self-seeking politicians to keep
separate two great sections of our
common country. The fraternal feeling
OF this now speciously divided nation
must be speedily restored, either by the
action of Congress, or IN spite Of it. This
is the fixed determination that has
taken hold Of the minds of the people.
And in the end it will, for it must be
triumphant.
A Rump Congress cannot prevent it ;
and all the "Loyal Leaguers" and oath
bound conspirators ia the land can
neither overthrow the Government nor
much longer keep the Union divided.
We believe they will be mad enough to
attempt it, but the attempt will end in
their own complete overthrow and
ruin. Mark the prediction.
