Impeachment

Is virtually at an end. On Saturday last
the Senate proceeded TO voted on the
eleventh article, the only one supposed to
have any substance in it, and the President
was acquitted by vote Of nineteen to thir-
ty.6xe. The following Radical Republi-
cans voted for acquittal, to wit;
Fessenden, Fowler, Grimes, Anderson,
Trumbull, Van Winkle and Ross; After
the vote, an adjournment was carried until
the 26th inst but everybody, friends and
foes Of impeachment, knows that the mat
ter is over. What next?
It will be perceived that SO votes would
have been necessary to conviction.

TIE Clinton Democrat Of the l4tll inst 4,
animadvcrts in moderate way on an article
contained in the Clearfeld Republican,
published at the home Of ex-Gov. Bigler
and of Mr.. Wallace, Chairman of the State
Democratic Committee; which article tho
Democrat supposes, was either from the
pen Of Mr.. Wallace, or published at his in.
stance. Our Clinton county cotemporary
thinks that the sentiments contained in the
article in qustion have squirting toward
an attempt on the part OF some Of our party
managers to destroy the prospects Of certain
prominent candidates for the Democratic
nomination at New York; If, in fact, there
may not DO with some more serious object
in view, to wit, the disruption Of the Dem
ocratic party and the establishment Of q
new political union which is expected to em
brace within its folds tho dissatisfied and the
disappointed Of the old abolition party.
In opposition Of these views, the Clinton
Democrat says: -----s.s 80. '.'--
With an era Of returning reason dawning
upon thecountry-with the principles of our
great party ten times purified and refined by
the fiery crucible through which they have
passed during the PAST years Of strife,
bloodshed and national iniquity, it is not the
time now, when even the elements Of nature
are combining to insure our success, to throw
overheard the brave men and true, who
manned the ship and stood by the helm,
when the storm ragged loudest and fercest.
Confusion to towards say we, and shame
upon those who requite "party services" by
cowardly desertion, and at q time, too, when
a bold move is the safest, best and truest
policy Vogq .i@ K s., G. As.9 ~, yfl
If'time-s serving, weak-kneed politicians,
with their tilnorous, vascilating truculency
to policy and treason to principle, are to
control the deliberations Of the New, Nork
Conventions, then indeed will the country
mourn in sack.cloth and ashes, the cowar-
dice that betrayed the cause Of constitutional
liberty and selfgovernment into the hands
Of jaeobin assassins, whose 4otal defeat and
determination was badgered away by 10.
called, policy Democrats" . -'-.-'
Bloomsburg democrat. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1867-1869, 1868-05-20

We ASSERT it without fear of contradic-
tion that ninc-tenths OF the Democracy Of
this county, and Of this Congressional Dis
trict, do not desire military man as their
candidate for President. They are sick and
tired Of supporting men for policy sake
What they want is straightforward, old
fashioned Democrat, one whose hands arc
clean Of the war for the destruction Of the
Southern States, and who can come before
the people with independence sufficient to
express his views upon all the important
questions Of tho day in such manner that
there will be no misunderstanding him. -
The Chicago Convention no doubt, in our
mind, will nominate Gen. Grant; but is
that any good reason why tho Democracy
should take up General Of the late un-
righteous and unjust war? Who will pre-
tend to say that the war was just; and who
will deny that the Abolition party did not
inaugurate it? No man of common sense.
1t is not our business to find fault with
prominent Democrats for hastily springing
into the Abolition trap and helping that
party to carry out their wicked designs, but
it is our duty as public journalist to raise
our voice in behalf Of the people when we
notice designing men, crafty polititions, try
ing to thwart their wishes. We will ever
do this. The laboring classes, in great
degree arc honest; and their interests should
be consulted. To do that, we want no Cen
cral nor bond-holder's candidate. ..'ass I,

JUDGE BLACK and JUDGE WOODWARD
are representative men Of the great Demo-
cratic party of Pennsylvania. They are
Democrats Of the first water. There is no
mistaking their views. The Pennsylvania
Delegation would be representing the
Democracy truly in'.the New York Con

these gentlemen for President. Hancock
has no claims on the party nor has the par

WHAT If MCCLELLAN SHOULD ,DIE?-
At the last Presidential election, the Rad
icals frequently put the above question to
the supporters Of tho Democratic ticket.
They were answered, that then Pendleton,
q patriot and statesman would become
President. In return they we're asked,
"what if Lincoln would die?" They an.
swered, oil would be well, for johnson was
patriot, and great statesman, and the
country would be safe in his hands. W.
must confess that in this, they toldthe truth
though unconcious Of it at the time. H,
has tried to restore the Union, he has tried
to pres erve the Constitution, and he ha,
tried to save the nation from the disgrac'
Of negro suffrage, and from the evils Of dos
potism. Hence it is that patriots love him
and traitors hate him. --Nortlumberldnt
