Presidents Acuu ttal.

IleSluonIS hCqu ICal.
A tclcgraphic dispatch on Tuesday
evening announced the final triumph
of the President in the great impoach.
ment trial. On that day, n vote was
taken, rs stated, on two additional ar
ticlcs with the same result, as upon
the vote on llth article, and the
court adjourned sine die. Thus has
terminated an audacious, unscrupu-
lous and malignant effort Of an un-
principled party to subject the govern
mcnt to their purposes. This result
has been attained by the firm position
Of Fcsscnden, Trumbull and few
other radical senators. 10 save our
lifo We cannot entertain, any feelings
Of obligation on tho subject. The
whole political life of these very soma
tors, has been one continued warfare
upon the South, and cruel cowardly OPP
preston of her in her hclplcssness and
tribulation. That they cannot now fol-
low their party to this extreme point
of depravity, only bespcaks them a lit
tie less inscnsblo to tho dishonesty
and infamy Of their colleagues. 1t is
4 refreshing instance of rctributive
justice to sec how nil the vials Of
wrath of discounted party arc being
poured upon their heads.
The following is taken from paper
published at Bangor, Maine. 1t
broathcs an air of broad, national feel
ing and sympathy that has heretofore
bocn unusual in that icy latitude. Il
is perfectly inevitable that q party
representing just, humane and natural
IDEAS as the Democratic party does,
must speedily destroy radicalism
born of war and living upon the pas
sions of tho hour.
We beg Of 0nr editorial brethren in
the South to dismiss from their minds
any apprchcrsions, that any portion Of
tho Democratic party Of tho North will
fail heartily 70 support our nominee for
President, OH account OF the position he
may have !akcn during tho war There
is now no disposition among Democrats
to revive ana'kccp alive tho disscnlion
that existed IN their ranks prior to and
during the war. They arc all buried,
and he who attempts to dig thom up in
this canvass, will be scorncd alillo by
those who were formerly called peace
Democrats and by those known rs war
Democrats. "llot the dead pas, bury its
dead, ls the motto OF the hour There
is no desire among peace Democrats to
|proscrbc those who honestly advocated
a war for the restoration Of the Union !;
nor is there any desire among those who
honestly engaged in tho war, to pro-
scribe those who cried for peace, because
they honestly believed tho war would
result in the overthrow Of liberty. Those
who represent that different feeling
pervadcs the ranks Of tho Democratic
party, arc false to facts, and do so for
sinister purposes.
Bnt tho popularity OF Mr. PendlctOn s
idea is not confined to the great West
and Northwes j. !s popular every.
'oherc among the masses Of the people.
That idea has done ten-told more to
harmonize, consolidate and strengthen
tho Democratic party Of Maine. than all
other ideas and expcdcnts that have
been advanced or tried during tho past
fifteen years. 1t was that idea, which
last winter, in our Legislature, brought
peace Democrats and war Democrats all
together in one bend, and gave birth
to that admirable minority report, which
found an echo in the breast, not only Of
every Democrat in the State, but Of
thousands Of laboring Republicans. 1t
was that idea which led the Democracy
of tins Congressional District, in their
late Convention for the choice Of dole
gates to the New York Convention, to
declare with such enthusiasm and unan-
unity, for the statesman representation
Of it tho Hon. George II. Pendle-
ton.
