"The Eyes of Delaware "a Conspiracy.
The evidence of Mr.. Karsener before the
impeachment Court proves conclusively that
the conspiracy between General Thomas
and the President was not very secret one.
Its existence was evidently known to Della
ware; for we are assured that the eyes of that
remarkable little State were fixed upon the
person of the Secretary of War ad interim.
Said Mr.. Karsener to General Thomas, in
addition:-" General, Delaware expects you
to stand firm" Now, it is very evident that
upon highly nervous development such a
have a marked effect Indeed we are assured
that the gravity of the expectation was fully
appreciated; for Mr.. Karsener testifes that
81 told him that Delaware would require him
to stand firm; he said he would he was
standing firm, and wouldn't disappoint his
friends and in day or two, or three days,
or a short time, he would kick that fellow
out"
Now, here is conspiracy proved beyond
doubt. Not conspiracy, it is true, between
Johnson and Thomas, but actually between
the eyes and requirements of Delaware and
the said Thomas. Common mortals may
suppose that the President alone is on trial;
but they are mistaken. The Impeachment
Managers evidently possess astonishing pre-
science; they are men Of rare endowments;
their mental resources are inexhaustble.
In word, these men saw that the eyes
of Delaware were directed towards Thomas
they knew that Delaware was an anti-radical
State, that the President sympathized with the
anti-radicals and that Thomas sympathized
with the President. The conclusion, there
fore, is natural that the connection between
these three elements has but one logical re-
suit, and that finds expression in the word con-
| spiracy. And we would further aver that this
chain of circumstances is linked together with
greater firmness, and that the enormity of Mr..
Johnson's offence is rendered palmer, by the
language of General Thomas. That enthusi-
| astic soldier was aware of certain eyes being
| fixed upon him, and in the fervor of the
moment he declared that he intended to ''kick'
| Stanton out of the War Office. Here was force
threatened, beyond doubt. We claim one of
the definitions of the word ''kick' to be the
application of the toes by strong muscular
| effort to the coat tails of an individual. How
plain the whole thing becomes General
| Thomas declares that he intends to accelerate
Mr.. Stanton's exit from the War Office by q
| vigorous attack on his rear; therefore it is
| plain that conspiracy has been formed be-
tween Thomas and Johnson to forcibly obtain
possession of the War Department.
Considering how important the testimony of
Mr.. Karsener was, we trust that the Impeach-
| ment Managers will not end their labOrs with
him. 1t is very probable that the eyes Of the
Man in the Moon were directed towards General
| Thomas at the same time that Deawaran optics
gazed anxiously upon that officer. Letus, then,
by all means, have some more evidence of the
kind referred to. II will not be of any conse-
quence il it has no more connection with Mr..
Johnson than green cheese has. AS a kind of
burlesque between the acts of very dismal
! farce, it will serve to keep the Senators, re-
por.ers and audience from sereney doing over
the learned twaddle of Mr.. Butler and his
associates. Besides, as there is not the slight
est possibility of the President being proved a
conspirator, such testimony may possibly
prove conspiracy between other persons and
as Mr.. johnson deserves to be punished under
any circumstances, in the opinion Of his radical
prosecutors, what more natural, sublime and
radical than to make him suffer for anothers
offences? The eyes of Delaware What a
magnificent evidence of the watchfulness of our
radical rulers Mr.. Butler and his associates
deserve to be presented each with a pewter
medal for having. proven that because General
Thomas declared that he would not disappont
Delawares expectations Mr. Johnson was
guilty Of having conspired with him to forci-
bly, "kick" Stanton out of Office
