Observation-Disclosures views Of It.

! T make few ,brle1 extracts from
various Northern papers on this all-im-
portant and absorbing question. And
first, the Philadelphia Mercury, Democrat,
says: We have received the glorious
news of the Presidents acquittal On the
eleventh count of the indictment by a
decisive constitutional vote. In the
| shining list of brave patriots and true
statesmen who voted for acquittal, We
are pleased 70 find the names of FeSSen-
den, Trumbull, Van Winkle, Grimes.
Henderson,, Dixon, Doolittle, Patterson,
Ross, Fowler, johnson and Norton.
The New York Express, De,nocratic:-
There is great joy in this city over the
acquittal Of the President among our
best citizens engaged in business, as we'll
us among these who are of the retired
and thoughtful class: The JacoE'ias have
all along been telling US that not TO re-
move the PreSidcnt.yas to ''incite blood
shed,," ''preclpi'ate a conflict" etc. But
nobody is p:ecit titating a conflict and
nobody is Shedding anybody's blood.
The New York Times, Republican, -
Every sort Of appliance had been resorted
10 between Tuesday and Saturday to Sc
cure the requisite nuMbcr of votes for
conviction; and every Kind Of means had
been used to gel those Senators who
were considered doubtful, or who were
supposed to favor conviction on any par
ticular article. to concentrate their votes
upon some one or other Of them. But
ell these effnrts have been resisted, and
forever distinguished in the most noble
way among Republican Senators will be
the names OF Trumbull, FeSsenden, Ross,
Henderson, Grimes, Fowler and Van
Winkle. -
The New York Herald :-Cowardly,
contemplate, mean to the last, impeach-
ment has been beaten to death like a vile
reptile,in its chosen place of refuge.
The Baltimore American, Radical =
This failure to impeaeh will certainly
have the effect Of reawakening hopes
among the rebellious Democracy of the
North.
The New York Tribune, Radical
Well
Mr.. johnson remains in the White
House. The XIth was deliberately, and
and we doubt not judiciously, selected
as the article that would command most
votes. This failing, all fail. ....
The Philadelphia Enquirer, Radical
1t would be folly to say that the people
have not been sadly disappointed blythe
vote on Saturday. Not SO much because
the bad man who has succeeded to the
chair of Lincoln is to remain there for
ten months longer,is thisregret most poi.
gnant. But the great g,iei is the alarm
ing fact that the dictates of conscience,
honor and principle can be deliberately
spurned by men in positions like these
Senators, and the professions of their
lives deliberately falSifed at the most
critical moment of trial. g.. -
. The Philadelphia Age, Democrat:-The
very members of the Senate whom the
public voice would always have distin-
guished as men of integrity and honor,
drawn together BY no party tie or com
mon interest, sustained successfully the
cause of truth and justice. Not less ap-
propriately all the men whose life record
is stained with corruption, debaucEery
and every variety of profigacy and vice
are found banded together in the attempt
to PROSTATE the forms Of justice to ad-
vance their own selfish, wicked ends.
The National Intelligencer; 1ndepen-
dent :-Although the vote on Saturday
only fulfilled our anticipations and vindi.
Gated the confidence which we had re-
peatedly expressed in the integrity of the
Senate, still the formal confirmation Of
these hopes has necessarily been CRATE
full source Of pleasure and relief from op-
pressive anxiety. The whole country
breathes freer to-day.
The Hartford (Conn.) Times, Dem
1t is the announcement that in this great
turning point of our destiny as nation
the fate of the country is decided in its
favor. Henceforth our progress is to be,
not in the path of Capitalization, militia
ry despotism and sectional hate, but in
the nobler direction of restoration Of the
old fraternal feeling-of the. Union-of
the supremacy of the Constitution-of
peace, and Of business and national pros
perity.
The New Haven (Conn.) Register,
Democratic.-The honor of the country
remains in measure untarnished. The
Executive of the nation holds his place
in spite of partizan hate and the mad
purpose of the radicals to displace him
at all hazard. A failure to convict on
the eleventh article is a failure of the
