chment and tho Democrats.


is scarcely room to doubt that the
President will be pronounced guilty by the
vote to be taken in the Senate to-day. Moth
ing can stop the extreme radicals-not even
the fear of faring worse with Wade than with
johnson and thus, determined to go on at
every hazard, 1t is quite within their power to
secure the necessary number Of votes. If so
many republicans should be honest or scrupu-
lous as to make conviction impossible as Q
mere party measure, there are the democrats!
Doubtless there are certain republicans whom
the shallow and fanstical radicals cannot man
age-men who care more for their oaths as
Senators than for the vapid fury of party
threats-men who would rather preserve the
respect OF the country than secure all the
possible plunder Of Office. Living on q higher
level than the creatures who have made i'm
peachment, and who are making the clamor of
terrorism that is expected to drive Senators
into the common purpose, these men have looked
down with scorn on the whole game, and
heard with contempt the vile uttersnoes against
themselves Such men act from pure motives
and from convictions that must be honestly
their own, and therefore they cannot act on
this impeachment verdict with the party that
pretends claim to their fealty. Surely no
man with brain capable OF comprehending
the significance of the word honesty and with
the courage to act on the conception, no man
who strives to make honesty and justice ruling
powers in his life, can pretend that the
prosecution has proved the President guilty Of
the charges made, or even listen TO such q
pretence with patience. Therefore the honest
men Of the republican party, Of whom there
are several in the Senate, will be against con
viction; and there may be enough Of these to
render it impossible TO get two-third vote Of
republicans. tn
But, as we said, there are the democrats.
There has never yet been time when the
most desperate faction in the radical party was
in q tight place but the democrats have helped
1t out. Never yet have the men who rule in
washington to-day been in urgent need Of .
few votes to force upon the country in shape
Of law some choice piece Of malignity but the
| democrats have supplied those votes. Always
ready, always pandering alphabetically 70
the worst possible purpose, the democrats have
finally been the means in every case of giving
effect TO the viii of the extremists and of
fastening upon the patton the laws and the
policy they denounce. SO il was in the first
instance in which the anarchists brought out
their great hobby Of negro suffrage. On that
FIRST bill for nigger suffrage in the District Of
Columbia began memorable struggle. Over
the whole country the sense Of the people was
against the faction, as the vote on suffrage
since in several States has shown. Republicans
in Congress were in sympathy with the state
of feeling through the country and voted
against the measure Conservative votes In the
republican party would fairly have beaten The
The New York herald., 1868-05-12

madmen then; but the democrats came TO the
rescue. Led by such men a. James Brooks
they played into the hands Of Thad Stevens.
BY their assistance the bill went through, and
that victory gave the faction the start-the i'm
pulse that has carried IL to it, present height
So the democrats since have been quite as
useful to the radicals in carrying measures that
the decent men in the republican party re-
volted st, and the South may thank these false
friends for every point Of peculiar enormity in
the laws for the establishment Of military rule
in the unrepresented States. It would, there
fore, be quite in character for the democrats to
come to the assistance OF the radicals once
more in this desperate case Of impeachment,
and we expect to sec them do 1t. e,.aa
We understand very we'll the theory of par
liamentary tactics ON which the democrats
claim to act In all this. It is q thing in
legislation equivalent to the reductio ad a6sur-
dum--the pushing . bad principle to its ex-
treme development so that it may be more
palpably odious and may the sooner alarm and
arouse the people. John Randolph, in moving
an amendment to an act to which
he was opposed, acknowledged that he
was even more opposed to his amend
ment, and that it was at wide variance
with his own views, but explained that his wish
was to make the law as bad as possible and
fight it in that worst shape. This was right,
and in accordance with acknowledged parlia-
mentary practice; but acute men know how to
avail themselves Of such points, and know
what their limit is, and suoh men may be
trusted with such TOOLS 1t is quite different
thing when men make bad laws worse knowing
that they may destroy the country before they
can react on the party that the country will
blame. If q man in Congress permits his
antipathy to party to so blind him to his posi-
ton, bis duties, his obligation that he does not
see that every blow he strikes at that party is
equally blow at the welfare Of the nation, the
country is surely none the better for his efforts.
He may destroy the country's enemy some day,
but the country then will be in no condition
to rejoice at his success 1t is just this way
with the democrats who are ready to help out
all the outrageous purposes of the radicals. 1t
will disgust the people with the republicans,
and so give the democracy new hope for the
future. They care nothing for the price their
hope may cost the country. So ii was in the
votes they gave to radical schemes before. So
1t will be now; and whether these men act
from corrupt motives or from stupidity matters
little, the result is the same. They fancy they
are helping radicalism to its ruin. But the
Devil is helping all the parties in the same
way, and he, like the democrats, takes care to
time bis Interference so well that reaction
never comes to prevent the hellward result

Democratic HowIing Meeting mt Var.
month.

YARMOUTH, Aug. %, 1868.
To the Editor of the Press: 5...- ......
Wishing to hear the Democratic arguments
in favor of their pet schemes, "the taxation of
bonds and payment of the national obliga-
tions,"I was induced to go last evening and
listen to that celebrated orator, statesman and
Democratic fnancier, Mr. Tarbox Of some
where, but where have been unable to learn.
This Democratic assembly has been talked of
for some time, and the leaders for weeks have
been hard at work with bribes, threats and
persuasions, inducing all they could to attend
this great demonstration. Although there
was an unlimited amount of demonstration
in point of numbers, it was lamentable fail
ure, lamentable because every man present
who had not firmly fixed in his own mind
which way he should vote at the forthcoming
election will now unquestiOnably vote the
Republican ticket We must give the leaders
credit for being admirably organized. Six
benches, each containing as many of the
"fnest pisintry in the wor-rld," and led by in
dividuals whose sole recommendation even in
their own party is the color of their skins, at
given signal from their driver howled forth
their applause. The meeting was thoroughly
organized with DR.. Bates Zone of the decent
men of the partly as President and the wealthy y
leaders with sprinkling of weak and uncer-
tain ones as Vice Presidents. After talking
several hours in which he ignored the question
of taxation entirely the speaker attempted to
wind up by saying he had spoken too long,
(terrific applause in which the Republicans
heartily ioined) when he was gently reminded
by written communication from his rear
guard of the attempt to dodge the only ques-
tion in which they had an interest The re-
sult however, was anything but satisfactory,
for less than FIVE minutes were occupied in
disposng of this subject entirely in which
the only point established was the fact that
they intended in future the rich men instead
of the poor should pay the taxes, which had
the effect of creating such demonstrative ap-
plause among the rich on the platform as to
induce the unpleasant suspicion that they
were not sincere. Next Monday evening the
Hon. Henry Wilson OF Massachusetts, will
discuss these questions of finance at the same
place, and we hope the Democrats of Var
mouth will be present. We promise them a
full and candid explanation of the situation
in that respect which will make them ample
amends for their disappointment last evening
The Yarmouth Cornet Band (which by the
way has but few If any superors in the State)
will enliven the occasion with choice music,
for which they will be paid in green5acks con
sldering that better than the Democratic meth
cd of not paying at ALL r.

Fred Douglass said at the equal rights

that luxury he does not have now. The other

The Springfield Republican endeavors to
simplify the greenback position OF Hon. 5. f.
Cary to the comprehension of that orator. 1t
illustrates the case as follows: 'If we should
propound to Gen. Cary that famous conun-
drum, How many legs has calf, calling the
tail one?' he would reply, with that simplicity
of his, why, five, of course;' but we should
tell him no. only four; for calling the tail a leg
does not make it one. And so with his leath-
er dollar, or his musket ball dollar. You may
call it dollar, but it is not one unless it will
pay dollars worth. Dye mind that, Gener-
ell Cary?" -. UI-

summary of this volume of his sayings"
mere are good things in it mixed with feeble
tnings, and things which have no other point
IMAM that which they derive from their coarse
ness NeVertheless, it is hard to open the
Dook anywhere without finding something to
laugh at, and occasionally you light upon q
paragraph which is as full of homely good
sense as OF, drollery. Josh is very tolerable
reading for this hot weather; but we do wish
the illustrations had been left out of his
book. They are at once coarse and poor.
