ONE VERSION OF THE ORIGIN OF IMPEACHMENT.
The Commercial Adrertiser says: "The mis-
understanding between the President and Secretary STAN
ton which has finally resulted in Impeachment was an
inspiration OF that abiding and unabatable political
petua jars in Mr. LncOns Cabinet until that patient
long enduring martyr could bear no more Mt stanton

House, and knew that he was ss constantly making mis-
chief IT, as Mr.. Stanton believed, the President
listened TO Blair there was neither peace nor nor
safety for him. for Blair was sure to ,,o make nar
petual MISUNDERSTANDING between the President and
Secretary OF War In all probability he, with some iresh
slander against Mr. Stanton stimulated the President 10
his removal For week before occurred he Informed

But for Montgomery Blairs nischefmakng propensity
