DEATH OF HON. r0RTUs BAXTER,

The death Of Mr. Baxter at Washing
ton. on the 4th inst, at the age of sixty.
one years. has been duly announced in
all the papers. His funeral was attended
on Sunday last and his remains tenpora.
rlly entombed at Washington. If Mr..
Baxter had his faults, they were such as
most men, if they viii cast glance in
ward, will find they ought to forgive.
We never yet have met that man who
was fsultless. But, taken all in all, Mr..
Baxter had the balance of good largely on
his side. No more earnest and entbns.
astic patriot ever lived than he. His
friendships were as warm as those of a
woman, and twas his adherence to his
bad friends which caused him the most
unhappineFs. During the war no soldiei,
soldiers wife, parent or friend, ever ap.
pealed to him in vain, and VIC have often
been astonished at the amount of drudp
cry which he actually did IN their service.
His genial manners and ready. active
sympathies have won him a home in
Of hearts---a lodgmdnt SO sure
aud stedfsst that no detraction. nor even
parade of actual faults can ever drive him
thence. During the war his labors were
lnces'ant, and his health often SO preca
rious that a man of less iron will
would have often succumbed. We kso,o
that, through all the dark days of the
war, his hopeful confidence in the final
result inspired the souls of hundreds Of
Soldiers officers and priyates--who 9th
'rwise would have despaired.

There may be many reasons why many

ELECTION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Nhptever the result of the election il
\ New Hampshire may have been. no one
can doubt that either party have had an
open field and fair fight. Both parties
have done their best--and We fear both
parties have also done their worst. We
hear partisans on both sides relating with
approval the story Of bribery with such
an air of complacency, that we shudder
at the general decentralization in this re-
spect, more than we do at the fear Of rebel
rule. With our manhood left, we could
possibly endure rebel sympathizing ad-
miuistration for four years Our condi-
tion might seem worse, but would not,
certainly be more uncomfortable thar people

IMPEACHMENT.

The Senate, having organized as tn
n High Court of impeachment" will nov
With as little delay as is consistent wit
thp gravity of the occasion and the inter
ests Of the disordered country, proceed t.
the trial of Andrew johnson, the highes
civil officer in the world. Iffound guilty
of rhe charge preferred, he will be depos
ed from office, and forever disqualified
from holding any Office Of trust or prof
under the United States. We predict
too, that he will have strictly fair trial,
end will have the advantage of every
legal and moral doubt in his favor. He
A.. will have the assistance of the most emf
pent counsel the country, and an op-
portunity to be confronted with the wit
pcsses and his accusers. If under these
guards the Senate find him guilty, he,
and the whole world, must submit, or we
nave no government, .r
lie will submit. Should he be convic
ted and dcposed we should be sorry fol-
the fallen man more than we have words
20 express. We have looked upon An
dre1 johnson when we thought him one
Of natures noblcmen. We witnessed his
elevation with pleasure, and have tried to
palliate his errors as long as those errors
seemed only vepial; but when he who is
chosen by this great people and commits
sioned to sec that the laws be faithfully
executed, rashly and for base party euds
or selfish ambition, assumes to set at de-
fapoe the aw-makiug power and refuses
to execute their enactments we say, ex-
pediert or not expedicnt, he ought to be
inpeached. No question of cxpediency
ought to weigh for moment, and We be.
lieve it will not.
We shall calmly await the result, and
Il fortune favors US we intend to look in
upon this great tlial. 1t is quite sufici.
emily humiliating to see our own chosen
chief on trial for "high crimes" and mis-
aemesnors while the arch fend Of treason
JEFF. Davis-is still at large.
Yet We believe that, in one way or an
other, Andrew johnson must redeem his
Hodge to make treason odious. If he
prefers to do it by turning traitor himself
the odium and the curse must fall upon
him. Certain it is that he has been
traitor to the party which elected him
Vice President. If this is no. go, why
then that party has gone stark mad in a
body, for he has not in all its ranks .
