The "managers" are busy gathering
together more personal and docu-
mentary evidence, by which they
think they will be enabled to add
vastly to the gravamen of their
charges against the President in the
other articles affecting his trial and
thereby secure his conviction beyond
a doubt.
Meanwhile, all this perturbation
is nuts for the Conservatives, who
are everywhere applauding the
manly, conscientious and indepen-
dent course pursued by the dissent

lating the President, the country and
the Constitution, upon the defeat OF
so much of the infamous impeach.

An enthusiastic meeting of the
Conservative electors in Kansas, was
held in Kansas City on the night OF
the 10th inst, at which the follow

WHEREAS, The Senate Of the United
States, once aptly called the last citadel OF
our liberties, has refused to sustain the at

the President elected by the people:
WHEREAS, Seven Senators among the
political opponents OF the President hon
