SENATOR FEssENDEN On TIE VERDICT
NOBLE SENrIMENrs.-Mr. Fcsscnden con-
cludes his speech against conviction as
toilows
TO the suggestion that popular opinion
demands the conviction OF the President
on these charges, l reply that he is not
now on trial before the people, but he1ore
the Senate. In the words of Lord Eldon
upon the trial of the Queen, Il take no
notice Of what is passing out OF doors,
because [ am supposed, conslitutionally,
not to be acquainted with it." And again,
'it is the duty Of those on whom a judicial,
task is imposed, to meet rcproach, and not
court popularity" The people have not
heard the evidence as VIC have heard it.
The responsibility is not on them, bat
upon lis. They have not taken I'm oath
to do impartial Justice according to the
Constitution and the laws" ! have taken
that oath. L cannot render Judgment
upon their convictions, nor can they
transfer to themselves my punishment, ii
I violate my own. And | should consider
myself undcscrving the confidence of that
lust and intelligent people who imposed
upon NC this great responsibility, and un- N
worthy place among honorable men, il,
for any fear Of public rcprobation, and Tor
tho sake of securing popular favor, L
should disregard the convictions OF my
Judgment and my conscience.
The consequences which may follow
either from conviction oracqultt;ll arc not
for me, with my convictions, TO consider.
Tho future is in the hands of Him who
made and governs the universe, and the
fear that lie willnot govern it wise y and
well, would not excuse mo tor Violation
Of Ills law.

Romance and Reality at the Hub
The Boston correspondent fthe Chlca!

The Boston correspondent ofthe Chicago

Among the kind, fair hands that fary

diamond was placed on that finger eight
years ago, and it has not been removed
Since nor will it DO until palmer circet

answer to say that the young lady is the
youngest daughter Of one Of our first
families. and has been beauty from
nero child. When she was some years
younger than now: and when there was
not that impossible guilt between the first
families of Boston and the f. F.'s of the
South she became engaged to q young
South Carolnian, u student at Harvard.
True to his promise made to her, the
youth, when hostiities commenced, held
aloof from the military organizations
which sprang up around him, and sought
to serve his State in the diplomatic line.
lie went over to France some little time
after Mason and SlidcII, and worked under
them at the French Court, and elsewhere,
doing valuable service for ono so young.
in fnancering and intrigue. Meantime
his fathcr died his family estates were
confiscated and ravaged, now by one side
and now by the other and the close OF
the war found him almost penniless and
an exile. As the young lady was BY this
time fully of age, and as her lover had
now an honest CHIT to be called loyal
man. she announced her engagement to
her immediate family. OF course there
was the strongest opposition to such an
arrangement, especially as the proposed
gentleman was without fortune; but the
determined girl maintained her right to
confer her hand on whom she pleased,
flashed the diamond Of her engagement
ring in the eyes of her opponents. and de-
clared her intention to be unaltcrabie.
The young cx-rebcl also stuck it out man
fully. He worked well and arduousl ly,
and. happening to come under the notice
Of Erlangcr, be made Il favorable impress

in the way of doing good thing, in fact:
several good things; and, by the help oi
the banker, rose quickly to the possession
Of Il competency in hand. and the prospect
Of moro than that if he keeps on: But
to como to the close Of this story, the
fruilion Of the faithful pair is nearly at

Tie New DEMOCRATIC PLATFoRM.-
George Wilkes, the editor Of IJilEes'
.cpjrit. has been in Washington for some
week past, and is deep in the plots ard
countel.plots Of tie politicians The fol.
lowing extract from the lc;'.ng editorial
in the last issue Of his rapcr is evidently
iiom his pen. and in Wow ot the recent
Developments at Washington, possesses
peculiar significance:
We know what we speak Of and vic
say authoritativcly that. the Democratic
platform will be so amended us to recos
rize the national progress OF the iastscven
years. and TO suit the progressive tcmocf
of the time. On the 18th July next that
programme will be cnnnciated in Tam
many Hall, in the city of New York. Its
main plank will be dcnunciation of the
principle OF human slavery, and an acccp-
tancc of all the legislation of the period
on that subject; the repudiation and cx-
tinction of the Confederate debt; the
equality of all men before the law; an I'M
paliial suffrage 1t is slrewdly calculated
that in view OF such q programme, the
alienatctl Democratic element. which now
constitutes the Republican majority, hay
ing become disgustcd with Il party which
is incapable Of government, or even OF
defending its own life, and pcrceiving,
moreover, in other and vigorous hands, a
platform covering their old principles, vii!
1T once flock 10 the new standard, and
leave the Republican party to sink to ruin.
This is plausible conception, and will be
sure to win if Andrew johnson is acqut-

An AFFECTING Casa young gentle
man who says he lives in Culpepper coun-
tv. Va, has recently met with an expert
encc in New York which gavc him new
ideas in regard to the female character.
lie states that, as he was crossing Wash
ineton Park about 10 o'clock one evening,
he was accosted by the lovelest girl be
ever hcheld, who told him that she had a
diving mother at home, and begged him to
hasten thither and, if possible, to save her
parent The young CuIpeperian, over
come by the appeal. drew the supplcant's
arm ii his, and set ont for the s'scene OF
suffering" They had not gone far, how
ever, when stout and ferocious looking
man suddenly sprang upon them, and OK
claimed: aAh! have you now You're
pretty miss, arn't you? And you, you
young rascal you're the villain who has
robbed my home and broken my wite,s
heart But I'll have vengeance now"
The girl sobbed and begged her father
not to kill her, and also to spare suarry'
whom she loved dearer than her own life.
The young gentleman was perfectly be-
widered. lie could only account for the
condition in which he found himself on
the hypothesis that in some obivious mo-
mcnt, when in q state of intoxcatlon, ne
had won the affections Of the lovely girl
by his side, and ruined the peace OF once
happy family. lie was called from his
spcculations on the subject BY the gleam
of a pistol barrel, the muzzlc to his brain.
The outraged father with fierce impre-
cations, ordered him to prepare for In
stant death. The girl implorcd her 'in-
cxorablc parent 10 rclcnt; which at last
he agreed to do on condition that the in
fatuatcd pair should agree never to see
each other more TO this the young
Virginian readily and fervcntly assentod,
whcreat the devoted young lady seemed
much paincd; but after embracing him
walked away with melancholy air. The
father watched lier until she disappeared,
and then with warning glance departed.
AS the young man recovered from his as
tonishment he felt for his watch to SEQ
the aonr, but il had unaccountably dis
appeared, and SO had his purse! Then the
young gentleman from Cnlpepper county
understood the whole matter.

The Scoundrelism of the Radical
Committee on Elections i'm Ihe
case of Gen. Morgan. I1-A


The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette thus presents the scoun-
drelism with which the Radical committee
on Elections in the Federal House of Rep
resentatives have treated General GEORGE
w. MORGAN. .'.,,--1
"The case hasbeen elaborately examined
and prosecuted-more than twelve hundred
witnesses having testified. A few days
since, by a strict party vote, in committee,
the case was decided in favor of the con-
testant, and it is believed by the grossest
violation of the law and the facts. SEQ
field, of Pennsylvania, drew up the ma
jority report, but he refused to allow it to
be seen by the minority prior to its pre-
sentation to Congress. General Morgan
then applied to him and demanded
as a right to see the report in his
case. This demand was also refused, but
the General was told If he would call at
Scofield's room he (Scofield) would read it
to him, as matter of courtesy but not of
right. Morgan accepted the offer, and this
morning called according to agreement,
where he found Delano present with SEQ
field, who now informed him that he had
changed his mind and would not so much
as allow him to hear the report read. The
purpose undoubtedly is to prevent such an
exposure of the iniquity of the committee
on Elections as would follow if the minori-
ty could get an opportunity to reply to this
report. The case of General Morgan is re-
garded here as the greatest outrage yet per-
petrated by the Jacobins on the right OF
representation and the elective franchise"

Indianapolis Daily sentinel.

A change took place in the editorship
and name of the Indianapolis Daily Herald
on Monday last. r. j. BRIGHT, nephew of
Hon. JESSE d. BRIGHT, has become pro-
prietor, who has changed the name of the
paper from Herald to Sentinel. For more
than year past, the Herald has been under
the business and editorial management of
LAVE DEyELIN, Esq. by whom in every re-
spect it has been greatly improved and put
upon paying basis. We regret Mr.. DEv-
ELIN's Withdrawals; but it is some satisfac-
tion to know that he will bestow all his
energies, as Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee of Indiana, to the
political redemption of that State at the
ensuing elections. Mr.. BRIGHT is intro
duced to the public as a gentleman who
will make the Sentinel all it should be.
