inc Radical Conspiracy,

The impeachment bureau made
but little progress the past week.
The case was opened on Thursday
last, on the part Of the President, by
Judge Curtis, who fully established
the Judicial character of the Impeach-
ment Tribunal, and as completely an
initiated Butler as Commodore Por-
ter did in the Fort Fisher affair. The
impeachers are evidently getting weak
in tho knees. The load is getting toe
heavy for easy locomotion. The Sec
retary of the Senate, editor of "my
two papers, both daily" howls ire
mendously. He exclaims, "let the
Senate aoquit Andrew johnson, and
not an electoral vote will be cast for
Gen. Grant in the whole South and
West, and many of the States in the
loyal North will be jeopardized,"
This quacll from the "dead duck is the
groundwork Of impeachment. Presi-
dent johnson is not being tried for
committing "high crimes and misde-
meanors," as the seven murderers,
thieves and whoremongers of the
Rump House charge but he is to be
elected from the White House through
pure partisan malice, for the purpose
of getting Ben Wade, one of their
own tools, into his place. frr
The President has been great him
drance to this pestiferous clan of
highwaymen, and if the Beast & Co.
can inject enough hate, malice and
revenge into Senator's, Mr.. johnson
Is bound to 60 out. If, on the other
hand, there are to be found in that
body, nineteen statesmen, men who
have more respect for their oaths and
the Constitution of their country, than
for party revenge, Andrew Johnson
will maintain his place until the 4th
of March next, the Constitution will
again be triumphant, and our Gistrac-
ted country saved from revolution.
The Radical leaders are becoming
alarmed at their own crimes, and in
ten days more will dreadimpeachment
as much as the battlefield during the
war. Failing to convict Jefferson Da-
Wis, they of course will not oust their
own Vice President elect.

chief workers, and yet it has a signi-
ficanco which cannot be mistaken.
The petition will, Of course, not be

domination, grow worse day by day.

Hard TO Understand.

The leaders of the Black Republi
can party seem to possess so little
common sense, and betray so much
deviltry at times, that true patriots
often become alarmed at their ground
and lofty changes, from the fact that
those acts are often incomprehensible
to every well disposed mind. To full
ly illustrate our meaning, we need
but refer to the conduct on the negro
suffrage question. They are unani-
nous for enforcing this infamous
measure upon the people of the South,
while they have repudiated it in every
Northern State where an opportunity
was given. The late election in
Michigan, is the most stunning ofall
The two Senators Howard and Chan
dler) and the six Congressman from
that State, are all Jealous advocates
of negro suffrage in the Southern
States and yet their constituents
have defeated it by twenty thousand
at home At the last Governors
election, the negro advocates carried
the State by 10000 majority and cleo
ted every Congressman. But now,
behold The change A similar change
in Pennsylvania would give the Dem
ocrats one hundred thousand majority
Our opinion upon this point is this {,
that the man who votes for Congress-
men, members of the Legislature and
other officers who advocate negro
suffrage for other states, and then re-
pudiates it in his own, is either fool
or knave. Why the people of Michi.
gan, Ohio, Wisconsin and other North
ern States, persist in sending men to
Congress who labor day and night to
impose negro suffrage upon the Dis
trict of Columbia and the Southern
States, and then repudiats it them
selves, we cannot comprehend.

removed by the pure air Of freedom, why should
not the cofee-colored descendants Of the first fam
ihes Of the South have voice in rcconstructinr

In regard to this man Reinehl the

uttcrs such language is unable to speak
