is over. Mean in conception and
meaner 10 execution, the burlesque of
the trial of Hastings came to an ingiori- |
Qua end in the middle Of the last act;
Managers Butler, Boutwell,, Bingham
and the rest ingloriously turned tail and |
fed, the curtain fell, and the tallow can
dies Of the shoddy and pihchbeek
imitation Of the real article Of impeseh-
ment were summarily snuffed out. The
intelligent negroes and the ring of specu- |
lstors and swindlers, meaner than the
ueanest Of the issue from obscene Afric's |
dusky loins, who had built hopes 50
high on the accession of bully Ben |
Wade to the Presidency, CRASH their /
teeth with rage. The agonies and tor
lures of the seedy carpet haggers who
fiocked open-mouthed to Washington to !
secure the fat things in the gift Of new
administration, have taken their fight |
from the City of Distances, on which |
they lit down in swarms like loeusts or
Iank and hungry buzzards.
impeachment, born in a brothel Of
political prostitution, has given up the |
ghost as dog dies in kennel, and not /
even Logan proposes to erect monu-
ment to its memory. A base-born brat, |
il is flung shroudless into the sewer that |
serves as receptacle for other ignomini- I
Gus remains, as dead cur is flung into |
that feeulent canal in rear Of the Capitol |
at Washington, which resembles river
in very much the same degree as Con-
gress, amid its present deflements re-
sembles Parliament or any other decent
assemblage of Legislators.
One good purpose, if not many more,
this wretehed abortion has served. 1t
has developed the principles of the Jsco-
bin party, which, without it, g cautious
prudence would still have concealed. 1t

tols, the carnival Of frauds and lies, the
capital Of the nation 3 political brothel
and gambling house combined.
This is far from being all that the i'm
and trial have developed.
The country has seen, and without being
startled, amazed, or even surprised, the
most dishonorable means resorsed 10, all
over the land, by the managers and or
csns of Jacobiniszn, to force Senators
sitting as judges, to convict contrary u
their cOnseiences and oaths. IL has seen i
the acting Vice-President, when his SIN !
gle vote might convict the President 5
shsmeIessLy give that vote, to make j
himself President and secure the enor-
NOUS and corrupting patronage OF the J
office. It has seen the managers, prose- !
cutting the President, initiate the role OF
Ouirk, Cannon and Snap and Sergeant !
Buzfuz, and resort to all the disrePutsole
tricks, in examination, cross-ex2mlna-
tiop, uneonseientious objections TO testi- I
mony, aud unfair argument, and down
rieht Justification OF the evidence, COM
mon among low practitioners in thelo"-
est courts of the country and despised by Z
all honorable men.
