THE PRESSURE.

Democracy raised a fierce outcry
at the pressure brought to bear upon
certain Senators like Henderson of Mis-
souri, and Ross of Kansas to influence
their vote on impeachment. " Partisan
spirit, "reprehensible conduct" "cor>
rupt combinations" Infamous proce-
dure," was the current verbiage en-
ployed to express opinions of the Mis-
souri, House delegation that waited upon
Mr.. Henderson to urge him in the name
of the people he represented not to be
unmindful of the high trust reposed in
him, and to prevent his sacrifice of the
interests of the country for selfish ag-
grandisement or to gratify his personal
resentatives,as" )" question of privilege"
asked that it be investigated, knowing
that it was not a privileged question,
and, throwing the odium of voting the
question down upon the Republicans,
give the country the impression that the
subject would not bear investigation.
Very properly the Missouri delegation
asked for an investigating committee to
exculpate themselves from the malicious
slander, and the kilograms. in giving the
testimony of Senator Henderson, fully
vindicates their action. How compares
with this the action of Governor Haight,
of California, forwarding a resolution of
sympathy to the President, passed in
one House of the California Legislature,
and refusing TO forward one from the
other House expressing confidence in the
integrity and wisdom of Congress? How
compares this with the invitation of
the leading Democratic paper of the
United States to raise ten million dollars
as corruption fund to be employed to
buy verdict f1r Andrew Johnson
How compares the warnings of assassi-
nation the Kuklux Klan sent to all the
Radical Senators, to be fulfilled if they
convicted Johnson, with the submissive
acquiescence by the Soldiers and Sail
ors' League, a loyal organization
stronger than a thousand hlans
How compares the threatened resort TO
arms by the Democracy to retain john
son in his seat, with the quiet acquies-
cence in the decision of the Senate by
the Republicans 1t looks very much
as though the honesty, decency, law
abiding spirit and loyalty of the land
were all within the lines of the Repub-
lican party. The Democracy have al :
ways claimed that the erection of West
Virginia into State and the reconstruc-
/ tion OF Tennessee was unconstitutional.
Had it not been for the vote of Rip
Van Winkle from the one, the Presi
dents son-inlaw. Patterson; and owler
who was born in the dog days, from the
other-Mr johnson would be now lux
uriating in freedom from being subject
to any poll tax, for his official head, al
least

We are of the opinion that the Editor of
the PosT has rs vague and imperfect an idea
of the true principles of Democracy as Noah
Webster had of the word "ENDoRsAL."-Ga-
zette.
Until the incomprehensible wisdom
of the editor OF the Gazette burst in glo.
rious effulgence upon benighted Ameri-
ca, Noah Webster had been conceded
rather definite ideas of the English Ian
guage, The above, taken literally is
complimentary to us and disparaging to
Noah but the Gazette has to be taken
with liberal allowance for "muddles," I"
and construed according to it's intent,
rather than its letter. Our neighbors
of the Gazette and Herald are exhibit
ing their dirty linen of philologic igno-
rance with a shamelessness scarce to
be expected. One day the Herald is
puzzled at phrase in common use for
years the next the Gazette, porcupine
like, hides its political head under a va.
riable Latin prefix and thinks itself safe.
Endorsement" and Endorsement" are
used as synonymous words. Tie prefix'in'
signifies negative; as for instance "in''
prefxed to ability" gives it negative
Specification. The prefix zen" is used
as convertible with it in many words,
but in modern acceptance, contains, we
consider, AN element of volitiou, not as a
rule, inherent in the prefix Sin" The
Gdzettc will perhaps be able to dis
tinguish the difference, in consulting
its lexicon. IL was for this reason, as
used to express positive action, we em.
ployed that prefix. As regards the termi

like our nation, made up from others
like our Union of States, added to as ne
cessity requires or circumstances rem

is the only criterion to which thousands
of terminations. the pre6xes, new

quite as frequent and good usage a

ANNIVERSARY.

Montana was four years old the Goth of

was introduced in the House of Repre-

and eleven days, during which its faith
ful Republican friends followed the
ceaseless oscillations of the bill from
Standing Joint and Special Committees
to the House and back again, it was
finally adopted and approved, May 26,
