CONSERVATIVE SENTIMENT,


from The Boston Post-democratc.l
Thus il this game of impeachment brought 70
naught by the upright and conscientious action Of
the few tine Senate who hold their country at
far higher worth than their party Justice is estab-
lished firmly IN her seat and Judgment has not fallen
i'm the streets Our country is not yet byword OF
.reproach abroad, because handful OF wicked men
may suppress one branch OF the government at
pleasure depOse the Executive for party reasons
override law with military force and consolidate III
use only in distribution. We may hold up our heads,
since we have been spared the disgrace which these
seditiOus plotters had prepared for our endurance.
The country cannot thank those republican senators
enough who remained true to their solemn oaths and
refused to outrage their conscences. AS 1t looks back
to this critical period, II will realize more and more
wildly what perils il has escaped. The probabilities
that went with the removal OF the President viii
startle US more and more with their momentous
magnitude. With lie entire government in the
hands OF these confessed revoiutionists outside OF
the constitution outing every sacred obligation OF
Justice and every obstruction OF established law, III
vading the States, DISTINGUISHING the Intelligent por-
tion Of the populations ruling whole section through
secret party machinery acting on the Ignorance oil
scmbarbarism, corrupt, eXtravagant and reckless
| in expenditure fastening and fattenlng themselves
c nc evcn in Sens at last to rise in
concert against this band OF Jacobins, by the debei-
ate vote Of the handful oi republican Senators
whom neither their menaces nor their abuse could

Let this hcll-broh boil and bubble while longer.
We shall see If those who have dabbled in 1t Will reap
anything but deusiOn and despair. What a chapter
for history What u theme for the satirist Catalina
brazcn, laundering Butler, exposed but now for
secre. completely with rebels supplying them with
stores, &c; Ashley, broker in perjury the judicial
murderer Bingham, Logan OF the mock jewelry, and
the malignant stevens arraigning the President for
the most innocent act of his life
The trial has been 80 managed that the Judgment
of the Senate falls upon Wade, upon Stanton, and
upon Grant, who Obtruded himself into the cOntro-
versy only Ia encounter the shame and disgrace.
which the success of this conspiracy would have
cast upon its history. We rejoice that this trial. In
stead OF being precedent OF abuse Tor years ana
provocaIion to retaliation, will now stand as warn
ing TO faction and the fate OF the disgraced promo
tcrs point the moral for misguided ambition for an
age To come.
from the Philadelphia Age-democratic.]
We haii tie signal triumph OF the right in no spirit
OF party exutation. 10 IL full Of PROMISE full of glo
tons. Let it strengthen every mans faith to put his
trust in truth and justice against which 1.-THE gates Of
hell shall not prevail"
From the Washington ntelligencer-democratc.
The votes OF the Senators who secured this result
will be cherished with affection and vcneraton when
the intelligence and virtue Of the country shall
tnize their action and appreciate the value or the
great service which they have rendered In the hour
OF the gravest peril. Fessenden, Crimes, Trumbull
the public gratitude for their manly independence
and self-sacrfcng devotion TO duty In presence OF
difficulties and temptations such as rarely confronted
public men, They cannot be too highly hOnored
too much commended for their courage their fidelity
to honest convictions and their noble stand against
arrogant party dictaiion. What political reward
could compensate the loss OF that proud conscious
ness Of right which these Senators enjoy, sus-
tanned they are by the appreciation OF the calm
Judgment of the nation
