IMPEACHMENT.

has been no vote yet taken to indicate the
sense Of the Senate, but speeches have

ators foreshadowing their opposition.
Grimes, Fcsscnden. Trumbull, sherman
and Henderson have all announced heir
opposition 10 some Of the articles Of i'm
parchment, and tho former 10 all. and
that he will vote solid against H. II Is
po-sibio tina, II may carry even yet, bat
the chances are against Il. In eonse-
quence Of the serious illness Of Senator
Howard Of Michigan. the vote has been
postponed until Saturday next, aud We
must await, Micawber like, In the hope
that something favorable may then turn
up.
We frankly admit our modification at
the anticipated failure TO impeach the
bastard President III such proves to be
tho result, II will come upon the country
like tho 6rst Bull Run defeat The pub
lic sentiment Of the whole nation will be
shocked and outraged. The great Repub.
lican heart will bleed afresh at justice
perverted, while Democracy in amazement
enjoys our unavoidable discontinue.
II Is In vain that we seek consolation
In the hope that good may come out Of
our defeat and disappointment, all Of
which could be philosophicaliy borne, but
for the ills that must inevitably follow ac-
quittal. This arrant demagogue, desti-
tute Of every honest aud honorable i'm
pulse, thus freed from all restraint, will
hurl his yidietive and deyilish shafts Of
power in every direction aud with espe-
eial force upon the then prostrats and pow
erless white and black Union men of the
subjugaled States. We fear that no pow
or commandable ean save or protect them,
and their only safety is In immediate ex-
pptriatiou.
i The failure to convict must not dcpress
but should encourage and arm anew the
friends of Law and order, to save the ad.
ministration Of the Government from the
hands Of its bitter enemies and secure it
TO those who proved its salvation ia the
hour Of imminent danger. We have no
hard words for those who differ from US
in judgment, especially as they are the
leading ard most prominent Republicans
ofthe Senate. I he broad mantle Of char
iiy should shield them from every i'm
proper suspicion, whilst just criticism
must assign them an uuenviable page by
the future historian.
We have honestly believed that justice
and the future coed of the Republic de-
handed impeachment, bat if the deliber.
ate judgment of the Senate is otherwise,
we must acquiesce aud endure the conse-
queuees- Itmay be part Of the good ia
store for Us that We endure the admins
traiion Of this bad man yet little season,
that the sth Of March next may the more
surely usher in our triumph and fual vic.
tory. Let all hands to the work, aud with
will, from this day until victory perches
on our banners. We can then look back
with smile at our present chagrin, as
We behold the ripe fruits Of our great sac
rifice.

The late District Convention recommen.
ded the adoption of the popular vote mode
Of nominating Congressional candidates
for the Republican party, hereafter, in all
the counties of this District, and plural
ity Of the aggregate vote to nominate.
The clumsy method of allowing one
county to east its entire vote in convention
for the individual having a plurality of
votes in that county, another to cast the
vote by townships, another to be represent
ed by delegates chosen at County mass

or less, of the voters, is no longer to be

conversational Nomination.

The proceedings Of the District Conven-
ton will be found on the eighth page of
our paper. As stated last week, Mr.. Ju-
Ian received the entire vote Of each county
represented. The friends Of opposing
candidates did not see fit to dissent from
the majority by scattering votes upon their
iavorites, but wisely, as We think, acted
with reference TO the harmony and ulti-
mate success of the party ticket. Whatever
opinions individual Republicans may have
entertained heretofore, in reference TO the
propriety of nominating Mr.. Julian again,
we believe there are now few, it any, who
will refuse TO support him. 1t is clear
that majority in the District desire his
continuance in Congress another term, and
it would be foolish, and even suicidal, for
a minority, or any portion Of it, to resist.
That Mr.. Julian is a representative man
Of his party, and his course in Congress,
with scarcely an exception, has been in &C.
cordance with their views, no candid man
will pretend to deny. That he is peculiar.

A FAILURE.-The American colony in the Holy
Land which was organized in Maine by fanatic
named Adams, has surely come to grief. Most
of the one hundred and sixty dupes which COM
posed it are dead, or begging their way back to
the United States. A correspondent of the Tri6-
tells us that 1" fifteen are all that left of
the party that sailed from Maine twelve months
ago, to found a new colony and a new religion
in Syria, and wait for the second coming of
Christ. The colony failure and Christ did
not come. The colony failed on account of
heavy taxes and poor crops-a discrepancy be-
tween the almanac and the Book of Revelations
interfered with the second advent-and Adams,
