The one circumstance that must weigh
heavily against tho Democrats in this
canvass is their substantial Identification
in sym patty and ijsas with the crushed
rebellion. The enormous circulation al.
tanned in nearly every State by Brick
Pomeroy's rebel organ is fact that can
not bo explained. Here is q journal
remarkable for nothing out its undiguis
ed, vehement championship Of the rsbel
cause-which predicted and has repeat
eddy exul!ed over Lincoln's assassination,
and glorifad ], Wilkes Booth Os an
apostle and martyr of libarty-with
larger and more widely diffusel circua-
hon to day than any two other Demo-
cratic sheets, though it is printed in a
village on the upper Mississippi. Can
any one explain that fact into harmony
with any theory which afIirms that the
Democratic party was ever al heart hos

IMPEACHMENT

On Saturday last, the Senate took W
the 18th article ofinpeuchmenl frSt, anG
voted on it. Thirty-6ve Senators voted
guilty, being one vote less than two
thirds, and the President was acquitted
Among Rho Republicans who voted fol

reason he will assign for voting TINS we
do not know. AS late as Tuesday pre-
ceding the vote Mr.. Ven Wrinkle read
bis written opinion in favor of convic-
ton on the nth article to Senator Cat
tell and two other Senators.
After taking this vote, the Senate ad :.
journed the trial. without taking action
on the remaining articles. until Tuesday,
the Goth inst. We do moi anticipate
that the result will be different. We
look upon the Hcquital Of the President
as fore,gono conclusion. The House
put the case chiefly upon the violation
Of the Statute. That charge is set forth
10 the 18th article. Seven recrsaut Re.
publicsns. and oil the Democrats voted
that il was no cause for removal. 1t is
mol likely that the considerations which
led them 10 vote for acquittal will be
BY the interval Of time. The
action Of lhesO Senator's who have been
looked upon as leaders. in point Of abili.
ty, makes q cover for the detection Of
those who can bo operated upon by out
err inducements that have been brought to
bear upon this Trial, and it is unlikely
that time will work anylhiug in favor Of
Senatorial integrity.
