ing that his vote d acquittal vas not because the

Mr. Van Wrinkle remained in doubt a. 10 how he
should vote upon the eleventh article until a late
hour, He was unable 10 ray what action he
should take until he had consulted other mem
born His conscience seems TO have been in the
keeping 81 some Of his brother Senators, and he
was content that his course should be governed
by their oaths. A meeting Of the doubtful Sena-
tore Was held 10 bis ROOM and Trumbnll and Fes-
sender succeeded in convincing him that what
ever doubts he had should be given to the usurper
rather than to the country
Mr. Fowler has prided himself upon tho fact
that his political history hss been that Of an abo
litienist and radical When the House Commit
tee first began to lock up the matter Of impoaeh-
ment Mr.. Fowler voluntarily offered his assist
lance. While the first attempt 10 impeaeh the
President failed in the House, he criticised
Republican members for voting against it. Upon
every possible occasion he denounced the Presi- |
dent and demanded his impeachment in behalf
" the loyal men Of the South whose interests he
had betrayed. AZ the last moment he wss in

Whether he falsifed himself then to please the
'dopler OF has fasifed himself now to please the
resident, We are not anxious 10 determine. His
conduct deprives himself Of the plea that he has
cen reluctantly forced to vote against the meas

I'd to acqmt the President, but has done his best
o draw after him men inclined the other way.
he first would have been sufficient TO satisfy his
oneeieneo, but the last was necessary to save the
resident There is no doubt that he is in fun
mpathy with Mr.. johnson, and we know Of
othing worse to say Of him.
