Wm. Wallace, Chairman Of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
sometime since issued "pr;vate" cir
cular to the Democracy of the State
enjoining them to adopt measures, and
leave nothing undone, to secure the
election Of Democratic judges and in
spectors Of elections in all doubtful Or
close townships. With characteristic
aaroitness and energy, prompted by
loge ofo!i 20 berg and thesuccess OF their
neisrious schemes IN the corntry they
are drilling, marshalIing and dividing
their forces for the rlrpose of carry
inc out tbe injunction Of the secret
c;re..a.. to which reference has been
made.a IN almost every township, in
cluding the county-Seat, they have
secret" "midnight," Unbound"
Ozark lantern organization, of which
that misery, nomadic changeling,
from party and place, "Bill Bite" is
said to I've Grand Sachem. Its mem
bcrs are numbered, and divided into
squads, each under the control of its
aub-officcr Through this order,
nominations for township officers have
already been made, and the voters
aoplacAthat they hope and expect to
carry both inspectors in nearly every
township, including some in which
they have never claimed or obtained
but one. This is the secret Of their
frequen: meetings oflate and the hur-
ried visits Of their member Of the
House, at the command Of Chief Wal
lace, back to Greene. This attempt
to secure for the one party both inspec-
tors is clear violation Of the inten-
ton Of the law AS much 80 as for
one political party to have both Jury
Commissioners, But what care they
for this ? Do ths Republicans in the
townships desire to be unrcprescntcd
on the election boards ? To prevent
this they must Immediately organize,
make their nominations and get out
their fall strength on Friday, the 18th
orMarch. This must be done if we
would not have our right to vote, our
ballots and ballot-boxcs, in the present
important crisis, entirely under the
control Of our INSCRIPTIONS political

THE NATIONS IsYam COURT.

We give below from coatempom-
ry, few facts which may be new and
interesting to most of our readers:
Butt is asked, Why should not the
Senate wait until the Supreme Court
has passed upon the constitutionality
of the law We answer, Because in
all that pertains to impeachment, the
Senate, sitting as q High Court Of i'm
peachment, is the Supreme tribunal,
and is clothed by the constitution with
powers miIich the authors of our Gov
ernment dared not ntrust the Supreme
Court. The High Court Of Impeach-
meut becomes q court so far above the
Supreme Court in every required quail
ity Of constitutional power az we'll rs
Of learning, political wisdom, and dig
nifty, that the latter has no jurisdic-
ton Of the subject matter, or Of the
parties, and least Of all would its opin-
ions be any authority on the questions
Of law or Of fact involved. 1t would
be contempt Of this High Court Of
Impeachment, which would render
the Judges Of the Supreme Court
themselves liable to impeachment and
removal, were they to interfere in any
manner with the Impeachment, arrest,
conviction, or removal Of President
Johnson or with the decision of the
questions Of law or of fact on which
his conviction depends. From the
moment this High Court Of Impeach-
'ment is organized, it becomes, as to
the particular case it has in hand, q
wholly superior, and indeed, absolute
" supreme tribunal and whatever the
ordinary Supreme Court may think Of
the constitutionality of q law is of no
more consequence to the High Court
of impeachment than would be the
opinion Of our Court Of Common Pleas,
All this Mr.. johnson must have well
known when he, as his admirers claim
took the responsibility of disobeying
the Tenure-of-Oflice law.

Kew .he Democracy Conduct ,hecanvass

The Rev, Henry Clay Dean and the
Rev. G, Chauncy Burr are still
working hard for the the Democracy
in New-Hampshirc. Here is an
extract from one of Deans speeches at
the Democratic National Convention :;
"Since the day when Ahasuerus
issued his cdict for the murder Of the
Jewish nation, a more gigantic crime
has not been recorded than the recent
edict Of the ignorant bahoon at Wash
ington, calling for half a million more
of your sons and brothers, for a fresh
immolation to the Abolition God,
For over three years Lincoln had been
calling for men, and they had been
given. But with all the vast armies
placed at his command he had failed
failed ! failed ! Such a failure had
never been known. Such adestruc-
ton of human lives had never been
known since the destruction of SEN
nachcrib by the breath ofthc Almighty.
And still the monster usurper wanted
more men for his slaughter pens.
Ever since the usurper, traitor, and
tyrant had occupied the Presidential Il
chair, the Republican party hadshouted
war to the knife, and the knife to the
hilt. Blood had flowed in torrents,
and yet the thirst of the old monster
was not quenched. His cry was more
blood"
This was said some time ago, but tc
show that Dean is still of the same
opinion, we quote the following from
recent speech :
"If I could have my way, l would
place jeff. Davis in Congress, wherc
he rightfully belongs ; then | would &C
to Concord, take all those miserable
battle flags from the State-Housc, and
make a bonfire of them in the State.
House yard then | would go al
through the North and destroy all the
monuments and grave-stones erected
to the memory of soldiers in short
l would put out of sight everything
which reminds us that we ever had {
war with our Southern brethren.
do not know as | would hang one-les-
ged and one-armed soldiers, but
would pray to God to get them out o.
the way as soon as possible"

CONSISTENCY Y!

When the Legal Tender Act was
first passed there was not a so-called
Democrat in the country that did not
dcnouncc it asuttcrly unconstitutional.
Now, their most cherished policy is tho
issue Of hundreds Of millions of green
backs more.
Daring the administration OF
Abraham Lincoln they could find
no epthets too degrading to ex-
press their contempt of both the man
and his policy, Now they pretend to
support Andrew Johnson, because, for
sooth, he is but carrying out the policy
Of his predecessor.

."THE law is binding on me, Con-
stitution or not, until set aside by the
proper tribunal" In that brief SEN
tence, one month ago, General Grant
embodied the true theory of the Fed
eral Constitution, and the fundamen-
tai duty Of patriotism. 1t was the
great truth which ilyigorated and
sustained the Union arms from Fort
Sumter to Appomatox, and which, as
we thought, was sufficiently and forev-
er vindicted in the closing victories of
'65. Submission to the constituted
authority, acquiescenoe in all legally
enacted laws, the right and the correc-
tive duty of appeal to the only consti-
tutional arbitrament of the Judiciary,
these plain, primary obligations of
each good citizen were never more
clearly conceived, or expressed with
more plain and direct simplicity, than
in those words of Gen. Grant. Had
the South accepted that truth in 1861,
there would have been no secession, no
rebellion, no war, and no necessity for
reconstruction. Had the South last
year, attempted either by traitors in
and out Of office, or by the terrible
power for mischief which it has again
been able to WELD through Andrew
Johnson-President by virtue of an
assassination-consented to receive
this simple truth as its political guide
the ten States would ere this have re-
gained all their practical relations, re-
construction would have been COM
plete in restoration and the union Of
thirty-seven States once more bound
together upon the broad and lasting
basis of Liberty, Justice and the con-
stitution as it is, would have entered
upon the year 1868 standing before
the world the freest, the most prosper
Gus, the most powerful and the most
enduring Republic ofall time.
And, now, let us show that we, thu
loyal citizens of the Union, accept ant
recognize in this Simple truth tn,
pledge Of on. own obedience to tn,
written law, the plainest and most i'm
perative duty Of the hour. Disre

"COPPEl.IEAD."

1t is with regret We noticed the
introduction of the word "Copperhead"
into Webater's Dictionary, work
which should seek to elevate the tone
of the language instead of reducing it.
The insertion of this meaningless
phrase only exhibited the partisan
bigotry ofthe author,and shouldoperate
against itsgeneral use.-Paisburg Post.
In view of the above protest we
suggest that the first plank in the
Democratic platform to be formed at
the approaching National Convention
be made to read as follows

The Senator elect from Ohio, Judge
Thurman, made a speech to a large
sercnading party. He said the present
representative body in the National
Legislature was mere fraction of the
American people, and contended that
until the entire number of States were
represented in Congress, such a thing
as Republican form of Government
was not legally declared.
Not SO He ought to have said it
contained but mere fraction of the

ing and plain truths are there received
in all their power.
The weekly newspaper, coming at
regular intervals into the quiet homes,
even of our antagonist, is received
gratefully and its contents read, studi-
ed and commented upon. Constant
dropping wears the hardest stone,n
and eventually the truths we teach
and print, revere and practice, will
find lodgment in the mind of our
adversary.
Now is the time to make the eflrot
to secure that lodgment. The COM
mencement Of the year, the long
winter evenings, and the unprejudiced
condition of the minds of many, MS
compared with the condition of the
same minds six months hence, are all
reasons for making this attempt now.
| therefore address you with the
earnest request that you will give this
subject prompt attention, Call to
your aid our active friends. Canvass
your districts. See who has and who
has not Democratic paper. Form
clubs for newspapers. Urge every
one to take some paper, Talk with
the moderate men of the other party,
and endeavor to get them into the
club. Be discreet and careful in
approaching them, and you can succe-
ed in many cases. A small effort in
this way, NOW, will be found to be of
great service hereafter,
Let us circulate The truth. Let us
work energctically NOW for victory.
We can save the Republic and We
WILL. Do not wait for committees.
Act upoa your own judgement.

"That we earnestly request the Dem
ocracy of each township in the State
to take such measures as will secure
to every Democrat, in their respective
districts, the reading of at least one
sound and reliable Democratic News
paper, the County Newspaper to have
preference, and that they will also
endeavor to place such paper in the
hands ofall who are willing to take
and read the same"

ment. The family freside is the bes

that VIM. Ii. Wadsworth,
late member of congress from Mays
vile District, has announced his inten-

man during the war, but drifted into
the moderate wing of the Democratic
party in consequence of the radical
measures of Mr.. Lincoln's administra-

Conservative to the rebel Democracy,
Mr.. Wadsworth refused to be included
in the assets of the former. He is a

ES INpEACrIMEST VIEW.

The New York Tribune, of Tuesday,
contains an elaborate and very able
article in favor Of impeachiag Presi-
dent johnson. The article ia divided
under four different heads, which en-
able the Yeader to determine at q glance
the drift of its argument, The heads
are as follows
Impeachment is Peace
Impeachment is Reconstruction"
"Impeochment is the Supremacy of
the Law"
Impeachment means the Suprema-
cy Of Republican Institutions"
An earnest argument is made by the
Tribune in support of each of the fore
going propositions, and the following
is the conclusion
"Somc Of our people may rave, and
swear, and gnash their teeth but we
shall have no war-no disturbance-no
arresting the wheels of Government
not the Simmer of a bayonet, nor the
click Of a trigger nothing but the ordi-
nary town constable, with his clumsy
baton. There is something grand to
us in this spectacle Of great nation
changing an incompetent ruler by the
gentle and easy process of law. The
poor little three per cent. that the
gold-gamblers have made will melt
like the falling snow. Impeachment
is peace, because the common-sense
and the loyalty of the nation demand
it."
