The guIeIIigencer of Saturday vs.. the
EuIeIIigeucer of Monday.

The lptelligeRcer of Saturday was
greatly grieved at the New York Herald
for addressing series of personal ar
ricles to sundry Republican Senators,
advising and presenting considera-
tious to influence them to vote against
conviction of the President" ''Mr.
BENNETT" was Ieugthily belaGOred by
our neighbour foI his course, but We pre-
sume tue Castigation has not been fatal,
iuasmuch as we have not heard of the
Bsrdlds suspension.
From the HteiiigeHcer of Saturday we
quote the following:
Ii is scarcely supposable Mr.. Bennett
can present the case to these gentlemen
stronger than IL is presented To them III
the Senate Chamber. Ii their study of
the case there fails 10 satisfy them of
the Presidents innocence, Mr.. Bennett
is not likely 50 TO illuminate the subject
As 10 effect that end Indeed he does
not atte!Rpi 20 address their judgments,
but Appeals 10 other motives and con-
SidelatIOnS.
From the IRtcliigeRc1 of Monday We
iufer that lit is supposable that the
hiei'igencer can present the case TO these
gentlemen stronger than it is presented
10 them in the Senate Chamber" If
our ccteMporary had not been cOnvinc-
ed OF his ability TO do what in his opin-
ion MIR BENNETT" could not do, he
would hardly have gotten ap special
presentation of the case for the editica-
tiOn of West Virginia Senators, or offer
ed such considerations" as the follow
lug "tO induce them to vote for ICON
viction of the President"
One thing may be regarded as GER
tain, that IL lrould be rery unfortunate for
any Senator's elected as Republicans to fail
to be sufficiently coRrinced Of Nr. JOHN
sons gaii so TO rOte apOa the final
iispe. So strong are the convictions on
this subject throughout the country, so
pressing are the demands for the re-
mOyal of the one man who stands be-
tween the country and pacifcation and
security, so vivid is the realization sf
the misehiefs in store if this dangerous
man, after all that he has done and at
tempted, 90 free and acquit of blame,
that the Republican Senator ,Ch0 rotes to
Gcqait him WilL hare need 10 take home lCith
him CONVINCING reasons for his rOte.
The Italics are our own. After fulmi-
Dating against the Herald for improper
ly advising Senators how to vote, the
intelHgencer, it will be seen, has at
tempted the very thing of which it
previously complained. 1t whirls its
little lash with wonderful vigor. aud
mimics the party whipster with an
earnestRess and gravity that must be
highly entertaining to Messrs. VAN
"INKLE and WILEY, for whose benefit
the performance is provided.
Taking our neighbours article of Sat-
urday, and substituting the word, Man
ayers, for "Mr. JOHNSON" and the word
htelligeaosr for "Mr. BENNETT" and
Herald" We have the following to
show what the Intelligencer of Saturday
thiaks of the IHtelligencer of Monday:
lfthe Intslligsncer man does this in
tIe Managers interest he is but stupid
o!underer and his long experience
with human nature has taught linn lit
ue. We venture there was not one of
The Senators named, when he read the
article thus flippantly discussing ques-
hOn that rests weightily upon his
honor and conscience, and advising him
IN effect that honor aud conscience
AaTe nothing To do with the decision,
out that he should be governed by con-
asderations of expediency, ambition,
hkes or dislikes, who did not feel glow
oi indignant resentment at the disre-
Spect, and worse, which such an appeal
implies. Men like these are not to he
s"ayed in 50 important a matter by
newspaper articles-much less dragoon-
81 by such a sheet as the IntslligeRcer.
II they even contemplated any step of
Sad faith or treachery, they would hard
y thank the INtelligencer for publicly
pointing the way. 1t is to be assumed
saeh men, if we grant they have no con.
sciences, have ssme self-respect and
some regard for their regulations.
