GLORY HALLRLUJiH /!

The Great Conspiracy to overthrow Con.
stitutional Liberty has been defeated
| by the acquittal of the President. Th'
vote has only as yet been taken on the It'll
| article. 1t was the article on which tht
Impeachers took their stand, on which
| they were driven as their last hope. A!
| the following dispatches show they were
defeated. Last night in caucus they
counted SO votes as sure for conviction or
this article. 1t will be seen that they were
able to muster only 35. The whole vote
thrown is 54-two- thirds of which were
necessary to convict. Thirty-five not be-
ing the necessary two-thirds, conviction
has failed.
The Republican Senators who did the
country the great service of voting against
conviction on this article were Messrs
FOWLER, FEssENDEN, GRIMES, HENDERSON,
VAN WINKLE, TRUMBULL and Ross.
Let all Patriots Rejoice and be glad. The
most foul and Internal Impeachment
scheme has been crushed.
