sTAsToN AND SEWARD.
Gen. Buffers opinion Of Secretary
Stanton differed bat little from that of
Mr. Sumner, and he expressed the opin-
ion that Congress would reinstate him
promptly on reassembling. Of Mr..
Seward, he said;
TT seems to me that there can be but
ones explanation of Seward scourse-the
determination to run the Republican par
ty, because of what seems to him its in
gratitude in preferring Mr.. Lincoln.
Seward holds that be was the father of
our party, and one could easily suppose
the deep grief and modification which
being set aside might cause him. Any
other theory would only lead to the con-
clusion that Stewards intellect was wan
ing, because the author of the irrepress-
ible conflict could never be so stupid
The inevitable consequence Of Johnson's

and if so, why does he fail 10 oppose the
course of The Executive, OF Withdraw
himself from the Cabinet? There is
certainly nothing in our foreign relations
that requires him TO act"
IMPEACHMENT,
Mr.. Butler thought, was sure to come,
but that it had been delayed by the elee-
tion of Mr.. Wade, President Of the SEN
ale. The failure of the impeachment he
thought due 10 the reorganization Of the
House Judiciary Committee at the begin
ming of the FOrtieth Congress. As TO the
future Of this question, he said:
Il calm that The people always have
been and are now ready for lmpeach-
menI and will now demand it. Now,
however, the condition has changed. If
Congress, on meeting in November,
should commence the impeachment, and
proceed with all reasonable rapidly
Johnson could not be removed till spring
unless they came up TO what clearly j:
the land pracuce, that be should be de-
posed upon articles being presented tC
| the Senate. Now, sappOse that johnson
should not be removed ill the sprlng-
that would be too late for Mr.. Wade L
aid himself by Executive power in the
Convention which will be held in May ol
June. But as Mr.. Wade is known lC
be thoroughly loyal to the Republican
party and would heartily sustain the
nominee of that Convention with all the
power of he Administration, whoever
should be nominated, each and all of the
| gentlemen believing themselves 10 have
possibilities of being candidates, will de-
sire that the Administration shall be il
| Mr.. Wade's hand rather than in Mr.
Johnson's; and therefore-being con-
vinced that impeachment is just, and
ought to be done-wilI become easily
convinced of its policy, especially as they
cannot fail to see that the people demand
| it and that the situation Of the country
requires it-for il is the only solution oi
our troubles. and the great paci6calor.-

OF SENATOR WADE
he said:
Among the many able men who may
have hopes Of The Presidency, Mr. Wade
stands in the posi- ION of being a lrut
representative Of Radical Republicanism
honest, single-hearted, courageous, firm
from the people and after the people,
be has never failed 10 rely upon them
and never has been found wrong"
