It may eBs suspected that BUTLER, to
whom old Trad and BoUrwELL seem to
have surrendered the whole natterof nosing
into Radical rottenness, il especially de-
lighted with the opportunity Of bringing 70
the light Of day and to the eyes Of the world
men who are as corrupt as himself. Exer s
cising his high .prerogatise OF chief OF IN
auisitors under the authority of: the rump
Of House of Representatives, he may
easily establish within the boundaries Of
the United States D moral Australia, or Pc
nal colony, of which he viii become the
grand head-ceptre and drummond light,
before whose blaze the fires of the lesser
rogues win pale in voluntary inferiority.

pected that WooLLEy, like the wormz;in the
cocoon, has ayast number Of eggs in him,
which, if warmed up to Matching, may bring
forth q brood Of moths surprising to the
Managers, and that may give. them q vast
deal of trouble Indeed. they may find
that they have started up game that they
never expected to flush and that they least
Of. all desired to see, on, the wing. ~ !.

the eccolobian of the Managers, the world
mast be deeply Interested What deal Of
fine scandal we should haveif the 100000

This is q day Of corruption. Congress is
the corruptest body ever assembled on this
-continent-not excepting the rnongrel con-
yentions of the southern States, which dis
graeed this age and nation. The Managers
are seeking to connect the impeachment
trial with frauds on the side of the acquit-
tai of the President. The confident and
eager manner with. which, they proceeded
to their investigations is prima facie evil
adence of q knowledge on their, part that
measures and purposes are carried through
Congress by fraud that congressman are
bought and bribed by money. They were
almost sure that appliances 80 well known
to them-and to; which, if the, rest were in
vulnerable, certainly BUTLER, the main
man Of the inquisition, was not-were re-
sorted to with regard to impeachment. In
this they made q great mistake. We be-
alieve the impeachment was the only matter
in Congress of very great moment out of
which money could be made in which
bribery has not prevailed. :,
= The apprehension which all honest men
may now indulge is that the Managers, dis
covering the dangers which beset them, and
that the threads whose ends they hold,
and which they imagined led the way to
the detection of brides in impeachment,
are but electric wires which may lead to
the;blowing up Of themselves, may abandon
the whole investigation. This would be
unfortunate for the country, but certainly
the safest course for themselves. Oh, Ra-
dicalism, what q monster!
