The Presidents Danger.

"Mack," the Washington cores
pondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciai, says;
y "The great danger Of the Presi-
dent is the over-confdence of his
counsel, and the possibility that they
may be led to rest their case too soon,
from a belief that the Senate cannot
possibly convict on what has been
already proven. Stanberry, Evarts,
Curtis and Groesbeck are all eminent
lawyers, accustomed to practice be-
fore high courts, and to have decis-
ions rendered upon the merits of
cases. The difficulty is to make such
men realize the fact that the highest
court in which they ever practiced is
also a political caucus, and that they
must shape their case for the caucus
and not for the court. If they rest
it on the court basis, they will be
beaten; in order to succeed they must
make it so strong that the Judges"
cannot face the people If they fail to
acquit. Mr.. Stanberry, is reputed to
have said that if the matter were on
trial before jury, or before ,he Su-
preme Court, he and his associates
would not consume any time in de-
fense, because the prosecution has
proved nothing in the nature of a
crime. They would be willing to
risk verdict without calling a Wit
ness or making an argument. But
that won't do before the Senate-a
"oourt" composed of politicians
most Of them pledged to convic-
ton before the trial began-a court
whose character and organization
prove the pith of what Macauley said
of the House of Lords in his essay
on Warren Hastings; that it is inn
possible for that great body to divesi
itself Of political prgudices in the
trial Of an impeachment. II is very
essential that the Presijent't counsel
should keep this fact before them, and
govern themselves accordingly. II
they do, they can make out such
case as will acquit the President now
or convict his accusers next fall"

FORMER vs. FoRSEY.-Several
years ago, when Forney was the edi-
tor of the Pennsylrdnian, he pcrpe-
trated the following;
ave will show from a pamphlet
written by that abolitionist, Jay, that
these tender hearted canting philan-
thropists, who whine 80 piteously
over the down-trodden slave, are the
veriesi hypocrites on the face of the
earth; that the claims and profess
sions which they are eternally ring
ing in our ears In behalf Of the negru
are as TAR different from their own
practices al home as the poles arc
asunder. We will show that while
they demand Of the South the giving
Of all rights, privileges and Liberties
Of freemen 70 their slaves, they &C
tually deny to the negroes whom
they have hominally freed, all the
human rights about which they talk
80 freely

THE STEAM MAN AoAIS.-w

THE STEAM MAN AGAIS.-We
copy as follows from the last number
of the Turf, Field and Farm:
"The steam man is to walk for
wager. He is to tramp from New
York city to Albany, New York. A
gentleman has wagered $1,000 that
be cannot 60 the distance without
breaking down. The friends of the
steam man are confident that he will
win. He will only travel in the day
time, not for the reason that sleep is
necessary to him, but out Of consid-
Grafton Of the comforts Of his attend
ants. The inventor Of this wonder
fnl machine Is having Others manu-
factured. A strong, healthy man can
be built for $500, the price that many
brave people in the North had opay
for substitute in the late war, when
troops were in demand. If the steam
man Is made to walk, why cannot h
be induced to fight? An army o
such fellows would be invincible

Noble Sentiments.

The following sentiments, con-
tanned in the salutatory Of The Ban
ner Of the South, Father Ryan's new
paper, are worthy of the author Of
"The Conquered Banner:"
"We stand by the past of our
country and cause, and we accept no
Future which will not accept that
Past. There are men who desert the
altar Of Lost Cause around which
they once stood with the blood in
their hearts painting for libation, and
who kneel 10 offer homage at the
altars of successful wrong. There
are men who trample under foot the
very standard that once Aoated proud
" over them. There are men base
enough to liit their hands against the
very rights for which they once up
lifted swords. We are not such. For
us, principle is principle, right is
yesterday to-day = to-mor-
row--iorever. Submission TO might
is not surrender Of right. We yield
to the one-but shall never yield up
the other.
"We shall do our best, therefore,
to save from oblivion the memories
and traditions Of the Confederacy.
Whoever is ashamed Of these Lad
better not read The Banner Of N,
South. Amid the questions that agi-
tate the present we should never lose
pride in our past, 1t is too grand To
be forgotten. Pass down It's memo
ries---they should live forever
