THE PRESS ON IMPEACHMENT.

The acquittal of the President on the eleventh
article of impeachment seems to have been receiv-
ed throughout the country with cordial approba-
ton by rejecting men of all parties. Especially
is this the case among business men-mercantile,
mechanical and others-who are anxious to see the
country quieted and trade revived Of course
there are exceptions to the general acquiescence in
the righteousness of the verdict Extreme Radi-
cals who expected different result, are, appa-
rently, q little soured, but the ''second, sober
thought will, doubtless, cause them to see that
the great masses of the people are heartily sick Of
the whole proceedings of the ''High Court of I'm
peachment' and all its manager" as well as the
aiders and abettors. ....r ..... ..
We subjoin the views of several leading journals
on the vote on Saturday
The Washington correspondent ofthe Baltimore
Sun writes under date of Sunday night: ..
The extraordinary agitation Of the people that
prevailed yesterday, andup to late hour last night,
was succeeded to-day by remarkable quiet.
No one we'll advised pretends, now, that there
the ten articles of impeachment remaining undis-
posed of, The eleventh article wasselected by the
advocates of impeachment as the one on which
they could convict, if conviction could be had at
ALL It is conceded that there will be as many
votes for acquittal on each of the remaining art-
cles, and in some cases more than were yesterday
cast foracqutta on the eleventh article, and, there
fore, the President cannot be convicted as the case
now stands in the Senate.
Among some extreme impeachers we yet hear
threats Of further articles when the new Southern
Senators shall be admitted to make sure thing of
o. wothirds vote forthe removal of the President
l..kk A. ovJ .,,ls ID
deprecate these threats and refuse to countenance
any further prosecution of the impeachment pro-
ject after the articles now pending in the Senate
shall be disposed of 1t is not believed that a
majority of the Republicans of either the Senate
|or House would agree to consider proposition to
get up new articles ..... .,.-......., .......
There were no very remarkable occurrences at
the White House yesterday, or extfayagant de-
monstrations Of a jubilant character. The Presi-
dent continued calmly pursuing the regular routine
Of his official labors during the day. He was ad-
yised promptly BY brief dispatches from the capi-
tol as the several votes were taken in the impeach-
ment trial. and knew the result within few min
utes after he had been acquitted on the eleventh
article. Shortly after the impeachment court ad-
journed, MI. Seward, Governor Randall and
dozen or twenty friends of the President, called to
offer their congratulations. There was no excited
demonstrations, but all passed off quietly. Mr..
johnson informed his visitors that he did not re-
gard the result Of the day personal victory but
be considered the verdict of the Senate triumph
of the Constitution and just application Of the
law to the charges and testimony before the court

Impeachment has failed, even with all this tor
tuous scheming to aid it, and never will dare again
to raise its head before the American people. E.
ven if these men who urge it should on some 9th.
er occasion attempt to take another vote they will
be hissed and hooted to silence, if not to shame,
by the common voice of the whole land. Letthese
