The radicals having failed to find Presi
dent johnson guilty of an improbable of
feuse, and having failed to find where any
money has been improperly used to procure
his scquittal, are now engaged in violating
Art. Nv of the constitution, which protects
the persons, houses, papers, and private sf
fairs of citizens from unreasonable search or
inquisition. Every man in the country is
personally interested in putting down this
last usurpation. The radicals will sweep
away every vessige of constitution, law, OF
right, unless beaten next fall.

Grant is much discouraged at the turn OF
things, and would not accept the Chicago
nomination, except under sense of honor
He feels committed after having sanctioned
the declarations made by Washburne, Raw.
ings, Forney, and others, and from having
openly advocated impeachment, under per
sussion of bad advisers, who assured him
conviction was sure thing. He believes
the republican party has gone to the dogs,
and that its defeat in November is inevits.

THE CAMPAIGN ARGUS!
EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE 1T! !
Only One Dollar!


The coming Presidential cam
paign will be one of the most i'm
portant ever held in this coun-
try. IT will decide whether our
Government IS to be preserved and
administered in accordance with the
principles of the Constitution, or
whether it shall lapse into a central
power and, at last, into a military
despotism. It is a subject of the
highest Importance that arrange
ments be made for furnishing the
people with proper reading matter,
in order that they may be informed
upon the issues to be voted on. For
this purpose we offer to furnish the
WEEKLY ARGUS in clubs of ten
copies or more, all sent to one man,
and for. distribution among people
who are not now subscribers, at 81
each, for six months-all in each
club of ten or more to pay in adj
vance and all in each club to CON-
imence and end at the same time.
of course we can only make bare
paying business, at this rate, but we
do it for the purpose of helping en-
Tighten and arouse the people, hop
ing TINS to increase the democratic
vote. 4s
Each township should have its
central committee and its democratic
association, and appoint active, re.
liable committees for each school
district. And the school district
committees should see that clubs
are raised to supply every family
with paper. The money must al
ways accompany the order, as no
papers viii be sent until the money
is received. Direct letters to

The radicals are very indignant at the
dropping of Wade and the taking up of Col.
fax. Old Jesse K. Dubois says that Colfax
came to Springfield, ten years ago, and in
sisted that the Illinois republican commit
tee should withdraw Lincoln from the sena-
torial contest with Douglas. In this modest
request he was joined By Horace Greeley
and the old gentleman thinks that this effort
alone, in the case of Colfax, must forever de-
bar him from the support of all honest re-
publicans.-C Chicago Times.

Little Ben Butler,
The eminent sutler,
Tried to mix an impeachment pie;
When he thought it all made,
And the country betrayed,
Lo it splashed up call in his eye"
Ben Wade had little hope
Now don't know where TO find il;
So he'll let it alone,
And stay at home,
And the people, we think, won't mind IL.
Thad and Ben,
Two foolish men,
Both went impeachment after;
But both fell down,
And broke their crown,
And now comes in the laughter.
Sing the song impeachment,
Congress wants TO rule
Andy in the White House,
Scorns to be their tool
Stevens on the war-path,
Shouting blood and thunder;
Boutwell, playing heavy man,
Crying "stand from under !"
Butler sick and bilious,
Splitting out his slime
Up comes Andy johnson,
And knocks them out of time.
