suIiucss in the senate.

usssrs. BOUTWELL,, OF the Managers,
Ivr1soN, of the Presidents counsel,
-. narrowly escaped, if they haze
..nsd. making themselves ridiculous
.to nss of too much rhetoric, i'll their
W Darf,rmances before the Senate.
S,mabody called the impeachment tIial,
~. @Grsat National High School Gem
.,,sment," and that phrase seems to
.rrr,ss very accurately the idea which
.Ls above named gentlemen have form
- of the affair. In BoUrwELL's speech
.,cnrs the following paragraph, which
the World calls
ECONOMICAL REASONS FOR DEPosING
JOHNSON. &. r.
r.r.Isrs and astronomers inform US
in tbe southern heavens, near the
u",baru cross, there is vast space
sV".L sw;aL the uueducated call the hole in
'Lnstv ~ where the eye of man, with the
.oT "tg Of tbe powers of the telescope, has
r"an nuable to discover nebul9, or
,aroid. or comet, or planet, or star, or
mn In that dreary, cold, dark region
81 fspace, which is only knownt to ee less
,pap infinite by the evidence OF crea-
.;"m .a" elsewhere, the great author of
..DIas+ial w. mechanism has left the
.Saos which was in the beginning.
~ the earth was capable of tho SEN
,;usnts and emotions of Justice and vir-
l ."a WHICH in human mortal beings are
,Ss % ayidence aud pledge of our Divine
orioin aud immortal destiny, she would
S.Syr and throw, with the eaergy OF
,So combined force of air, tire and wa
,sr and project this enemy of two races
'fmep into the vast region, there for
car 70 exist in solitude eternal as
Tfs mr. a, the absence OF life, eDlblemat.
,caI Of. if not really that "outer dark
nsss' of which the Saviour of man
.Doke in warning to those who are the
enemies Of themselves, OF their race ana
of their God.
Tn. substance Of the above turgid
trash. is AS we understand it, that JOHN
,oy oush. to he put some place by him
sIf. an idea which even Manager
might have expressed in fewer and plain
,r words than Mr.. boutwell, has used,
The plan OF having "the sentiments OF
iu,tice and virtue" operating upon the
rarths epigastric region, until our plan
Il should "heaye aud set" in some great
vomitory agony, all for the purpose of
serving JOHNSON as the whale finally
served JoSAH, may be original, but we
doubt if it be practicable. Ii Mr.
BouIwElL had watched Senator YATES
III his groAt feat of ''deploying commits
,ary stores to the 'front.'" the Manager
would have c0ncocted his terrestrial
,metic out of more moving materials
than the ingredients he has named,
Mr. NELSON, Of the Presidents couu-
vel, seems To have been quite rs amusing
A, Mr.. BOUTWELL,. A Washington cor
respondent describing some portions of
his speech, says:
He read from Writ L paragraph ior
the benefit of the Managers, and went
on with what appeared to be parody
on the old school speech, beginning
who WAS Blennerhassett repe Itiug
frequently instead of the above words,
who is Andrew Johnson !"
II the President was such a man as
bad Been painted, then Le (Mr. NJ
would say he was indeed "a monster OF
such frghlful mien, that to be hated
A,eded BAT TO he seen;" that "a whip
,hoaA be placed in the hands of every
nau to lash him naked through the
world;" that his name should be used to
Tighten children with; that the memo
~ Of his crimes would cause every
particular hair t. stand on end like
quIl.s upon fretful porcapine."
Snch stuff strongly suggests conspir-
acy between boutwell, and NELSON to
perfect and complete" the already far
cical character of the impeachment bus
mess.
