New-York tribune., 1872-07-19

Before adjournment was reached, enough OF
the line of defense was disclosed TO show that
il is claimed by Mr.. Barnard that he was not
regularly impeacbed. The precise point raised
is not vet apparent, but is probably the same
rs that previously mooted when the Assembly
adopted the report of the Judiciary Committee
nv n vote of 90 to 16, there being II absentees.
The Tammany cases are adjourned until Sep
tember, arguments on thert ght of the state
to institute proceedings bein concluded.
Congressman Voorhees,, who was renom-
mated at Congress Convention in his DIS
trict, yesterday, gives logical reasons for MS
support of the nominations made at Cmclnnau
and Baltimore. He prefers Greeley to Grant IN
the canvass which is now made up concuslveiy'
He was opposed to the nomination of Greeley
and Brown by the Democratic party, believing
that that organization was strong enough W
elect its own candidates over those OF the he-
publican party, weakened as 1t Is by corrup-
tion and abuse of power. But ne acKho"i-
edges the conclusion of the whole maO-
ter at Baltimore. Mr.. voorhees, GER
tainly is frankness itself in his exposition OF
his own personal views; and his review OF
the causes which have led to the destruction
Of tbe Republican party under Grant is caustlc.
But If is also lust, and it will be difficult Tor
any of the denomination orators and journals
70 reply TO his vehement indictment.
The Liberal Republicans opened the Reform
campaign auspiciOusly in this State last night
OF Senator FentOn's mastery speech on the
finances, delivered at Albany, and printed on
our second and third pages, we have else
where spoken. Chauncey Nj. Depew, Secre-
tary of State, and one of the most captivating
of our popular orators, followed the Senator
in ringing address. EX-United States Sen
atOr Ira Harris was expected to pre-
side. Unfortunately, his health prevented, but
he took care to lend the meeting the dignity
of his character and place by sending express
sions of sympathy. De Witt G. Littlejohn,
public man of long service and influence IN
State and national councils, also declared Tor
the Cincinnati nominees in strong speech at
Oswego. All these are names thoroughly well
known TO the people of this State, and
little likely to be engaged in a failing cause
Meanwhile from the West comes news OF the
withdrawal of his opposition to the Cincinnati
ticket by Daniel w Voorhees,, the head and
front of the Democratic dissatisfaction All
things work together for good
Senator Buckingham's speech at New-HaveD,
yesterday, was a mild-mannered defense OF
the Administration, though he did indulge III
one ungenerous fling at the Liberal candidate
for the Presidency. An insinuatiOn that with
q change of Administration would come a
burglarious raid ON the public treasury comes
with an i'll grace from the Senator; he
has been in Washington long enough to
know something of the enormous defalcatlons
which have occurred during President
Grants term of office. With the great Hodges
theft fresh in his mind, the Senator might
have spared this sore subject for his friends
sake. Senator Ferry, who was expected to
entertain the Assembly with some account OF
the late political canvass which gave him
new lease of his seat in the United States
Senate, failed to appear; but gentleman
who was introduced as a Democrat who would
support Grant, served in his stead This
speakers opening confession that Grant was
not elected as q statesman sufficiently lndl-
Gates his candOr and freshness i'll the field.
The Hon. IL. L. Dawes, who spoke at the
same meeting, was, as he always is, dignifed
and tair in his discussion of the questions of
the day. He would not abuse Mr. Greeley;
lie did not defend President Grant ;
as for his argument that the safety
of the Republic demands the continued
repression of the South the country has
sufficiently answered that already. That line
of logic belongs to a period long since passed
into history. But we thank him for showing
honestly that he stands on that ground.
