man. He and his associates to sit until
the day Of judgment ifso, "short will
be the shrift and sure the cord" of iudg-
ment suitable to the punishment Of their
infamies. Stevens, too, who has talked
about what he would not do "until the
crack OF DOOM" and who Is "geing to live
until Andrew johnson is impeached," is
more than up with the former. To one
whom ho urged long years ago to commit
the crime Of treating and election In Penn

Who pleaded conscientious scrupies, he
said ''thror conscience TO he'll" For this

perjurer is one who, having sworn to sup

he acts outside Of iii What Is the real
state Of preparation Of the persons who
haze mentioned for that long eternity and
fearful judgment Of God himself, Of which
they speak in blasphemous phrase as the
"crack of dooms'
No wonder that Mr.. Wilson, Of Iowa,
who, in partisan spirit, abandoned his
Graf just views against impeachment, aud
