The impeachment Trial drags slowly
along. The Tribune. in speaking of it, says
1t has degenerated into an avalanche Of
CAB. We had hoped to have been able to
announce to our readers the end Of the trial
this week, but. there is so much talking to
be done, that several days yet will he con
sumed before counsel on both sides will
close At present, it is the impression that
Mr.. Bingham, on the part of the Managers,
will commence his speech, which concludes
the argument Of counsel, day, or on
Monday next. lie will require at least two
days to conclude. After this it goes to the
Senate, where the talk may continue indefi-
nitoly.
Of course the friends of Andrew put ahoat
all kinds OF Stories about the impossibiity
Of convicting the President, but there APP
pears to be no reliable basis for these reports
merely loud whstling to keep their
courage up. The anxiety felt by the friends
OF law and government was not surpassed
by the painful solicitude which stirred every
legal heart in the greatest crisis of the rebel
lion, when the very fate Of the nation seemed
to hang upon victory to the Union arms. The
same struggle is yet going on between the
friends of liberty and the champions of sav-
cry. 1t is the rebellion in deadly conflict
with the institutions Of free government,
removed from the field to the council cham
Der. The prize contended for is equally as
great, and the result must be finishing
stroke to the party of human bondage. or u
stunning blow to the cause Of liberty. II
sufficient number Of Republican Senators
should betray the inconceivably great trust
that the people have placed in their hands,
so lar as 10 vote for the Presidents acouit-
tai, the calamity to the nation cannot be
conceived. The South would be converted
INTO Pandemonium, and Andy johnson
would doubtless hasten to answer Stewards
question, when swinging round the circle, -
whether the people were prepared to take
him for their King! The rebel party are
bringing their greatest pressure to bear in
the Presidents support, but the loyal con-
stituents OF the men who hold the distinies
OF the Republic in their hands. are equally
earnest for conviction. We cannot doubt
the result in the face Of the overwhelming
proof Of the Presidents guilt. One more
week we sincerely hope will terminate the
suspense and relieve the nation from load
which is bearing it down.
