Democratic journals TEEN with predictions
that the Senate finds r Johnson guilty OF the acts for
which he has been mpeached by the House, and
him from his office. tho Republican party will be over
whelmlngly defeated at the Presidential election.
Then why do they oppose impeachment
Surely, if they can succeed to power after the
expulsion of Andrew Johnson, they ought. as
true partisans, to be very thankful to the Re-
publicans for thus committing suicide. IL this
impeachment is going to work SO disastrousiy
for our party, we shall expect to find every
Democratic Senator voting for conviction.

81 stated that tue law was binding on me,
constitutional or not, until set aside by the
"proper tribunal" SO wrote Gen. Grant to
President Johnson in the correspondence about
Stanton's restoration TO the War Office That
doctrine will do to stand by. The President
has no more right to decide upon the constl-
tutiopality of law than we have. Such decis-
ion must be made by the Supreme Court in regu-
lar session. Even the Judges, as individuals, have
no right to refuse obedience to law because
they think and may hereafter decide it to be
against the Constitution.

Gen. Hancock has asked to be relieved from
his command at New Orleans. If the reports
which reach us from that city are to be relied
on his superscdure cannot come too soon. 1t is
charged that his recent course has deprecated
the city currency to such a degree that pop.
ular panic prevails. The Mayor, apprehensve
of trouble, issued proclamation yesterday, in
which the responsibility for whatever may oc-
cur is indirectly charged upon Gen. Hancock
and the leading Rebel spirits around him.

Brave old Ethan Allen was the first leading
man to recognize the preGminent authority OF
Congress as above that of Presidents, Govern

BURNING THE CANDLE AT B0TH ENDS
In the House of Representatives on Saturday

"r Clarke OF Kansas addressed tho lIouae tho
tion Of the finances expressing himself as opposed to an
immediate resumption OF specie payments 20 the quds
tiOn OF the national debt within this generation aud 20
the payment Of the bonds of the United states
oanng the credit Of the Government IN aid OF the great
continental Pacific railroads"
BY "the letter of the bond" Mr. Clarke
evidently means that tho Five-Twenties shall
be paid off in Greenbacks-a proposition which
has the hearty support of every inveterao
Rebel and pro-Rebel in the land, save those
who prefer to make single bite OF the cherry
by repudiating the National Debt altogether.
Mr.. Clarke abets the Greenback fraud, IN ful
view of the fact that every Secretary OF the
Treasury Chase, Fessendcn, McCulloch-who
| ever issued Five-Twenty, as well as every
agent employed by them to sell those bonds,
assured the purchasers that they would be paid
at maturity in gold, and that Mr.. Thaddeus
Steve1s assumed this to bo the undoubted pur-
port and obligation of those bonds in adyo-
eating the passage of the Legal Tender act.
There was no question, no division, no demlr,
when the bonds wero authorized, as to their
being payable at maturity IN gold.
Ii may not be in the power of the champions
Of National integrity and public faith to pre-
vent the preparation of the mean swindle
which Mr.. Clarke and his coniedeTateS pro-
pose but they can ut least prevent repet-
ton of the fraud.
Mr.. Clarke wants the National credit pledged
in furtberance of the construction of one or
two more Pacific Railroads wherein his con-
stituents have local interest We don't be-
leve he will get it until it is settled that faith
is to be kept with the Nations present credi-
tors If the National credit is to DO used to
enhance the value of Western lands, II will
have to be vindicated from the taint of Western
villainy. We respectfully urge those members
of Congress who mean to keep faith with the
public creditors not to authorize any loan or
use of the National credit for any purpose
whatever until it shall have been defnitively
settled that the existing debt is TO be paid ac-
cordng to the pledges and assurances which
induced the holders to lend their money TO the
Nation in its hours of deadly peril.

The American Republic is about TO add
new and valuable precedent to those which
history has heretofore furnished TO get rid
of julius Caesar it was deemed necessary to
put him to death, To square accounts with
Charles l. it was found convenient 10 cut
off his head; and the French people settled
with the unfortunate Louis after the same
stringent and inexOrable fashion. As We have
discovered few truths in political science
which are worth all the king-craft in tie
world, so we are about to give proof to the
world that here at least no man, be he as
wise as Solomon, is match for several mil
lions of his injured and dscontcnted fellow
creatures. Under the same circumstances, any
where else, Mr.. johnson would be forced to
abscOnd under the name of Smith or Jones; (;
people would be sent in all directions to cap
ture him; and, If caught, he would he locked
up without bail. AS it is, after being igno-
mniOusly indicted. he remains at large; con-
tinues to reside in the Nations own house; sees
company whenever he pleases can consult at
his leisure with the very wise Seward and the iu-
fntely wise Welles has at his call all manner
of solid and fluid consolatons is not denied
the use of pen and ink; is not, in short, what
he would be anywhere elsc-a state prisoner.

massacred in his behalf. lie il simply O

POPULATION or THE UNITED STATES

POPULlTTOy or THE UNITED STITES
II has recently been officially declared (by
the Directors of Statstics) that the total pop
"ulation IF this country now consists OF about
"3j. 90 persons" That our population is
at least 100000 greater than the number
stated the following statement is offered to
prove. SuppOsng our growth to have been
uniform throughout each decade, the average
annual increase from 1870 to 1860 was 3.O2 per
! cent. Assuming that this rate, but for tie
Rebellion, would have continued throughout the
present decade and we have at the close OF
the year 1867, population of S0,i0j,45l. The
war, however, greatly retarded our growth, and
certain deductions must consequently be made.
| On the authority of the War Department, the
total loss of the Union armies is stated at
2S0,1 ,157 Adding a ike number for the Rebel
losses, and we have n total of 56l,jl4 rs the
number of soldiers killed, died of wounds, and
from disease. II addition to this vast number,
allowance must be made for lives lost in
irregular whfare; for deaths of nOn-cOm
bataDtS, arising from mental or physical suf-
fering, consequent on the war for draft en-
"igrantS,' who still remain abroad for the emf
grafton to Mexico, Brazil, and other countries,
and for the diminuton In the number OF births
A still greater loss. rs a consequence OF the
war, is found in the retardation of immigration.
All these causes combined probably have di-
minished our numbers to an amount equal to
tie losses in the field and the hospital. This
would give a total Of 1,123,O2s. Bat making a
most liberal estimate, and also for he sake Of
convenience, wo deduct 1,40j,4j1, AMI there is
left according to the basis which experience
has shown to be the actual rate Of increase,
total of 3S 100000, or 100000 more than tho
number stated in the document referred to-.
The same authority gives the rate of increase
of births over deaths at 1.3S per cent per an
nun.
This statement Is more incorrect than the
former; the actual increase of births over deaths
never having been less than 2 per cent per an
nun, as may be readily ascertained by ref
erence to the census reports, and the immi-
grafton tables, and by a simple mathematical
calculation.

might thus 60 through the whole list Of arti-
cles that laboring man and his family consume.
The fact is, VIC are permitted to enjoy but one
half Of the fruits Of our labor the other half
goes 10 the government and the pluuderers Of the
public treasury.
It is now time for me and my fellow laborers
TO look around US, ascertain the cause of this
robbery of labor, and apply the remedy!
The cause is plain. Since radicalsm
came into power, the public expenditures
have been Seren thousand millions OF dol.
lars, or about thousand dollars a year
equal to about ttcelre times the amount
previously expended by administration which
these same radical leaders denounced as
extravagant, prodigate and corrupt All
this vast sum has been drawn from the peck
cts and extracted from the earnings Of north.
ern white men, much of it for the support
of idle, lazy, vagabond negroes, and to place
them upon political equality with northern
white men, and to give them control of the
southern states. This vast expenditure for
the benefit Of negroes and radical "bum-
mers' is drawn mainly from northern labor
by the radical policy the chief public bur
dens are thrown upon labor, and capital is
to the same extent relieved. Money loaned
to government to meet these expenditures
to feed and clothe lazy negroes and enrich
thieving ofice-holders, is not only exempt
from taxation, but receives enormous inter
est--thus in two ways increasing the burden
of the ax.paying labor. Is it strange that
tine road of the laborer is like Jordan--"a
hard road to travel?' Is it strange that
the intelligent laborers begin to "see it, and
to inquire for o remedy? No: but it will
be strange, if when the remedy is SO plain,
they fail to apply it.
