The following article from the Ga
| lena Gazette, is so in accord with our
| own views that we transfer it to our
| columns instead of one of the same
tenor which we had intended to write
| We commend 1t to the perusal Of
those despondlng Republicans who Up
| pear to suppose the principles of the
party are controlled BY the seven Sem
ators who voted to acquit the Presi-
dent. The party has withstood mar
syrdom and desertion, and vet lives.
Wisconsin has been deserted by two
of the honored members Of the party,
and still she Is true to the principles
of Justice and Humanity. Like gold
tried IN the fire, the principles of the
Republican party will show the bright
er by being relieved of the dross that
may have attached to it heretofore =
The fate of the Republican party
does not hang on the chance vote OF
five or six Republican Senator'S
That party has shown that it is made
Of different stuff from that. The life
OF the nation was entrusted to its
hands, and IL deferce Of its principles
two hundred and twenty five thousa nd
noble men laia down their lives, and
four times that number stood ready to
do likewise, if the sacrifice were nee
essary to the object. Does any man
suppose that such holy sacrifice will
fail of its purpose? 1t will not fail.
HE Republican party has not yet full
filled Its mission. 1t has done what
no other party in the country ever
did before. 1t has shown courage.
hardlhood, patriotism, that makes
It's name immortal No few men, be
they ever so powerful, can compass
Its ruin. We acknowledge that as a i,
party, We have great difficulties to
meet and overcome. But those the
supposed future are nothing as com
pared with those Of the past, which
the Republican party have met and
overcome. Such party as that is
not to be overthrown IN an hour, nor
is 1t at any time to be DESTROYED by
the Democratic party. 1t may have
misfurtunes. " hat man or party ey-
ct accom- plished much enduring, posi-
tive good, without meeting with some
misfortune. The Republican party
does not expect TO be an exception.
1t has won its victories by hard fight
ing. 1t expects no easier time in the
service Of the country hereafter
Those who compose it expect to be
equally cOurag -ous, equally true,
equally vIgilant in the future of time
as t''.y have been in the past. By
such aigns they conquer. The ad-
vance of Justice, in great nation is
always slow. 1t is always sure, in
proportion as its friends are faithful
to the trust The contest with wrong,
imtrenched in the life and heart, is al
ways stubborn The weak often give
way in the struggle The vascillating,
the imaginative and the ingenious,
who deceive themselves by corious no.
tions and theories, will often give back
at the very time when their services
are most needed. This is so common
that It Is a matter rather to be ex-
pected than to be surprised at But,
somehow. the cause goes on IN spite
Of their failure: Such is the hope of
humanity " a7ena Ga<ette

IT is now pretty evident that three
causes combined to defeat the Pres
ident's impeachment Ist, The Wits
Ky Ring, which is directly interested
in keeping Johnson aud his corrupt
revenue officials in office; ID. The
ambition of Chief Justice Chase to
become the Democratic candidate for
President; Sd, The fear Oh the part
Of rival candidates for Vice President
that Mr. Wade. by becoming acting
President, would stand the best chance
Of being nominated on the ticket with
General Grant.

The New York Euenarg Post prints
a letter from an intelligent observer
who has been taking SIX weeks run
through the South-through the
seven states of Mary land, Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky
the first and last being to-day the
least loyal, and who gives his i'm
pres.ions in regard to the condition
and disposition of the negroes there
and the general effect Of Mr.. Johnson's
policy, which IS thus summed mp;
The negro, he says, works a great
deal more than the Southern whites,
and only fails to carry on the labor
of the country where he is not sure of
obtaining wages and decent treat
ment. He has a great deal Of human
nature about him, likes the comforts
that labor ought TO bring, and, iudg-
ing not only from what l hear and
see of the negroes, but what ! hear
from Northern farmers who employ
them, l am satisfied that under de-
cent treatment and regular pay at
frequent periods, the blacks are to-
day furnishing labor of all sorts
cheaper { not merely IN rate but tax
ing quality into view J, than it can be
had In any other part of the country.
Philanthropic adventures from the
North, who hire labor for which they
cannot pay, and e1-slave drivers, who
cheat the laborer as much as they
can, are more responsible than the
negroes for the disturbed condition
of the Southern labor market 1t
appears that the negroes had as soon
be idle as be cheated out of their paw,
fact which fills with horror of com
ing revolution the breasts Of the re-
constructed.
The chief obstacle to quiet recon
struction of the Southern labor sys-
tenn is pronounced to be the policy of
Andrew Johnson. The rebel element
has been encouraged to use every
means to defeat social and political
provement, and particularly to
make 1t appear that negroes are good
for nothing without masters The

to control the labor system of the
South, as we'll as it's political system.
Then it would grow into a band Of
Regulators, who would drive the ne
groes from tbs polls, regulate their
labor, and make it impossible for any
Nrothern man to live in the country
districts, unless he had a ball proof
jacket and an India rubber neck
Such commanders az generals Meade
and Thomas regard the order as very
dangerous. To-day Johnson is
standing menace to the peace and
prosperity of the South. Whatever
his intentions may have been, as to
forcible or peaceable violation of the
law, he has broken it, and he is ia
ia obstruction to peace. Peace

The Washington Corresnondent of

THE Washington Correspondent of
the Chicago Journal writes to that pa
paper under date of May 18th:
The city is full of all sorts of rum
ors and statements about the action
of the Senators who voted for the &C.
quittal OF the President. In the
House scarcely anything else has been
done this morning but discuss it IN
various shapes.
At the suggestion of the Missouri
delegation, Mr.. Eggleston, of Ohio,
introduced a resolution similar to that
heretofore offered by Mr.. Eldridge,
calling for an investigation into the
correspondence which took place be-
tween Mr.. Henderson aud the Mis-
souri, mem bers. The resolution was
passed, and the matter referred to a
select committee of FIVE. 1t is ex.
rected that this investigation will re-
suit favorabiv to the ID EN- berS In the
House from Missouri. They profess
to be able to show that Henderson
deceived them, and was guilty Of gross
tergivarsation from beginning TO
end.
Mr.. Boyer introduced resolution to
add two Democrats to the Board of
Managers. This was rejected on the
ground that its language was dlsre-
spectful.
Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, then
offered resolution calling for the
official proceedings of the Senate for
the last two days. On this he called
the previous question, and made a
short speech. wherein be intimated
pretty strongly that the object of the
resolution was to expose the action
Of certain Senators. The journal of
the Senate is to beused by the Board
Of Manage in their present investi-
CATION. He said it was due to the
country that the people who had been
betrayed should know how that be-
travail was effected.
Mr.. Woodward replied to Mr.. Ste
vens in rather short style; whereup-
on, Mr.. Schenck made a reply to
Woodward, equally short Stevens
resolution was finally passed.
