The DEATH OF LEUTzE, THE Pr NJ
TERI was announced by telegraph,
day or two since, that Leutze, the
celebrated historical painter, died in
Washington, last Saturday. AS O.
historic painter he will be best re-
membered by his pictures of the
Battle of Monmouth and of the
Russian Treaty; and his fresco paint
ing on the wall that fanks the noble
stairway leading to the gallery of
the House of Representatives will
probably preserve his memory as
long as the capitol stands; and on
this picture his reputation must
finally rest. He was an American
citizen, American in feelings and in
tastes, and his pencil was always
happiest in the illustration of Anne
rican history or American scenery.
The picture in the capitol to which
we have referred has been severely
and often criticised, but few who see
1T, however, can fail to feel its
beauty and power. It has received
the homage of thousands, as
truthful picture of the rugged road
by which the star of empire wends its
way to the far West; and in the face
of the mother seated on the table
rock, the feeling of resignation to a
new life and of sorrow for the old
one left forever, there is the true
stamp of the power of genius. Too
practical generally to soar into the
realms of poetic art, his intense
Americanism- supplied the place of
the divine afflatus which Church
and Bierstadt seem among our land
scape painters to monopolize.
Mr.. Leutze was born in Gmund,
Wurtemberg, May "a, 1916. His
parents, soon after his birth, emf
grated to this country, and settled
in Philadelphia. His youth was
passed in that city, and there he re-
ceived his first lessons in art. In
lS4l, he went abroad, becoming n
pupil of the celebrated Lessing.
Two of his works in Europe, eco
lumbus before the Council of Sala-
manca," and columbus in Chains"
were considered great successes. In
1915. after studying in Venice and
Rome, he was married, and took up
his residence in Dusseldorf. He
afterward devoted himself to his
torical subjects, among the most
celebrated of which in this country
is Washington Crossing the Della
ware" In 1859, after being alb
sent eighteen years, he returned
to the United States, where he has
since resided.

no spirit of unkindnes5, and would
feel q profound regret, if any word
we have penned should rufle the calm
complacency which distinguishes the
Senator from Orangeburg, as he pur-
sues the even tenor of his way through
the burnt districts of our city, and
ruminates upon similar scenes in the
''city by the sea" from which he is
excluded by the same unhappy twinges
of conscience which prompted him to
repeat in his personal explanation"
about the printing, what he says he
remarked "to Senator on his left,

no doubt flaming article would ap-
pear in the newspapers, charging the

tracts for special favorites, regardless

TIE VOICE OF THE PFople


1t may he well to remind Senators that ,ba
voice of the people has steadily demanded ths
impeachment and removal of the President
We print elsewhere the resolutions adopted in
various Conventions since the removal OF Mr.
Stanton. Maine clasps hands with California
and Georgia reechOes the demand of Minnesota,
i'll calling for the Presidents removal. Tho
people, through their Representatives, have de-
manded his impeachment.
Congress has exercised every charity in ia
treatment of the President. When he usurned
all its legislative powers over Reconstruction.
and its power of debating terms of peace 70
the Rebellion, Congress suffered long and wa.
kind. They allowed him. without complaint. to
convert the entire patronage of the Presidential
Office into a corruption fund with which In
buy up renegade Republicans enough 10 furnish
the officers for a new political party of which
the Democrats and Rebels were to form
the rank and file. They overlooked and
attempted to forgive his removals Of
Sheridan, Sickles, Pope, Ord, and other loyal
Generals for their fidelity to the laws passed
by Congress. Even when the blood of the vic.
Tins of the massacres at Memphis and New
Orleans was shed through his duplcity and al
lance with the Rebel rioters, congress allowed
him still to retain the power which might at
any moment be exercised to renew the work OF
massacre and revolution. Never have so many
violations of law, and so persistent and unre-
lieved course Of maladministratiOn of his own
Office and of all subordinate Offices, been known
or tolerated by people who held in their
hands the means and power Of redress. Our
custom houses and revenue service reek with
corruption. In every department of the Gov
eminent honesty and loyalty are turned out OF
Office to make room for dislOyalty, hypocrisy.
and thievery. The source of all this reeking
corruption is Andrew Johnson. Let the AK be
laid at the root of the tree. If the Senate of
the United States should permit him to remain
in office after he has done everything to de-
serve, and the people have done everything to
obtain, his removal, the burden of Andrew
JohnsOn's crimes will be rolled upon the
recreant Senators whose votes retain him in
office If, hOwever,lt their verdict shall fulfill
the just expectations of an outraged and ndg-
nant people, and shall end Mr.. Johnson's occu.
patton of the Office whose powers he has
exercised only to the disgrace of himself and
the danger and shame of the country, they
will render service to the cause of justice apd
of free republican institutions, whose influence
will continue to be felt as long as either
judicial tribunals or republican freedom shall
exist

Certainly, if President Johnson is confirmed
and sustained in his criminal attack upon
freedom-if his new rebellion is to be approved
by an American Senate, then, truly, our
brothers died in vain The liberty for which
they fought is a mockery if it may be destroyed
by any traitor who happens to become Presi-
dent. The Constitution which came hallowed
and unharmed out of the war, is worth no more
than wasted cartridge if any chief magls-
trate may cOnstrue its provisions according to
his humOr-and If the murderer of the loyal men
massacred in New Orleans is to go unpunished,
then justice has lost its Office and loyalty is q
crime. The loyal States should have vote

and have a right to demand it to be given by
their Senator'S
This day and the great deed it covers will
forever remain in history. 1t is the one event
that will stand ont clear and dazzling when
time has darkened with its gloomy shadows
the age in which we live, and many OF those
who act, as well as those who stand idly by
are hushed and forgotten. No Senator can be in
sensible TO the verdict of history 1t is writ
ten that President of the United States dis
graced his high Office, profaned the law,
brought massacre and anarchy into these
States, and made the American name a
scandal among the nations. q 1t is written that
for these crimes and misdemeanOrs he was
brought to the bar of the Senate and duly
tried. Tie case is closed, the evidence has
been told, the arguments have been heard.
The Senators who fail to add to this history,
that by their vote the great criminal is justly
punished may well pray for oblivion Especi-
ally those Republican Senators who have
steadily championed the policy which Culmin-
ated in this proceeding may we'll pause, before
by their votes, they write their names with
the infamous and degraded men, who in times
of national trial sought to betray their country.

The repeated attacks of the Herald on
Speaker Colfax, in connection with the Dom
nelly -Washburne affair, are simply ridiculous
The Speaker was the only one who called the
belligerents toeorder and that, too, repeatedly.
and, as the reports state, with severity in his
tone. But unanimous consent is more power
full, as every one but the Herald knows, than
the Speaker; and in spite Of these reiterated
calls to order from the Chair, the whole House.
Democrats as well as Republicans, not only
tolerated the speeches, but unanimously gave
Mr.. Donnelly an extension Of time TO complete
the speech he was making. A single objection
would, under the rules, have stopped it but,
despite Mr. Colfax's protest, it continued by
unanimous consent which Speaker may con-
denim, as he did, but cannot Overrule.

Nevertheless, the jury found Barrett guilty /;
but public opinion in England revolts against
the hanging of q man in behalf of whom such
powerful arguments have been adduced. The
Cable few days ago informed us that John
Bright and other prominent Liberals have

another Cable dispatch that the Queen

think it safe to say that, unless the Govern

generally will be Of opinion that the

New-York tribune., 1868-05-11

Millions per annum would cost us far less if
made on our own soil mt cost of even Fire
Hundred Millions-that is, we should give less
of our Labor for them in this case, because we
should pay largely in Timber, Fuel, Vegeta-
bles Fruits, &c, &c, which could have little
or no market value so long as our workshops
remained in Europe. And this economic truth
we hold demonstrable to whOmsOeyer will fairly
consider the facts.
The ProtectiOnist theory has the heaTtiest
assent of our understanding and our Judgment.
The Free Trade theory we comprehend and
respect, though it seems to us framed in dis
regard of some vitally important facts and con-
sideratiOns. But the Pike theOry-which is
neither fish, flesh. nor good red herring'-we
utterly dissent from. To permit the free inn
pOrtatiOn of building materials is TO open
Il wide door for smuggling and evasion Of
duties. 1t is to say that the labor which builds
ships deserves Protection, but not that which
cuts timber and mines ore, and makes
iron. We do not believe it would
sells ten per cent.-perhaps rot five
while it would derange and unsettle everything.
Let us abolish the tunnage duty If we can do
without it let us protect our own shipping by
discriminating duties against foreign bottoms ;
let us reconstruct the States lately in revolt so
fast as may be, and reinvigorate their industry
so as to increase our products and our cargoes 4;
but let us not foster ship-building at the ex-
pense of other interests at least as important
as it is or can be. And if Mr.. Pike wants Pro-
lection for the special interest of his district,
let him not hope to obtain it by assailing the
Protection accorded to other interests, and
thus earning the plaudits of Mr.. Eldridge.

The Legislature of Connecticut will this week
elect U. S. Senator for six years from the 4th
of March next The Republican candidates are
ex-GOv. William A. Buckingham of Norwich,
ex-Gov. Joseph r. Hawley of Hartford, and O..
II. Platt, esq, of Meriden, Chairman of the
present State Committee. We do not know
which is strongest in the Legislature; but we
think the hearts of the people, within and with
ont the State, are with the veteran Ex-Governor
who, first chosen in 1858, was annually reelected
down to 1865, when, having been eight times
chosen-the last time by II ,O35 majOrity-he de-
clined to be again candidate. No other man in
our day has been so often chosen Governor, or has
held the State so steady in times of excitement
and cOnvulsiOn, as William A. Buckingham !;
and many throughout the country who gratefully
remember his efficient support of the War for
the Union, would rejoice over his election to the
Senate.
New-York tribune., 1868-05-11

The Illinois Republican Convention held at
Peoria on Wednesday was of the right sort
fully attended, earnest, and harmonious. The
following State ticket was nominated: For
Governor, Gen. John NJ. Palmer gallant and
widely known Union officer during the Rebel
lion for Congressman at large, Gen. John A.
Logan, the present member, and one of the
Impeachment Managers for Lieutenant G ov-
ernor, John Dougherty; for Secretary of State,
Edward Rummel; for Auditor, Gen. Charles
Lippincott; for Treasurer Erastus NJ. Bates
for Attorney General, Washington Bushnell
for State Prison Commissioners, Andrew Sher-
man, John Reid, and Robert L. Logan. The
platform, which we printed in full on Saturday,
has the true ring. With such a platform and
ticket, the Republicans ought to carry Illinois
next November by 10000 majority.
