Subject to the decision of a National

Convention.

Impeachment of Andrew Jolm'"i 'Ron. 'U The House of Representative.? on Monday ]ast. promptly passed a resolution ordering the impeachment of the President for high erime« and misdemeanors. Articles of impeachment will lie at once preferred, and Mr. Johnson will be put upon Ins trial before the bar of the (Senate. Chief Justice Chase will preside during the trial.

~S\~e

have all along been opposed to any extreme measures of this kind, if possible to avoid it. We have felt that it would be better to endure Mr. Johnson to the end of his term, rather thali'resort to the last remedy the people have to rid themselves of the guilty wretch whose selfish ambition is suffered to stand in tho way of his sworn duty. The country needs peace. Our energies have been wasted in war. and we need the harmonious action of the country in its industrial pursuits, to build up those who haVe been crushed down by the terrible conflict tliroilgh'which we have just passed.— If there is no road to peace but through the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, then impeachment and removal must be resorted to. Mr. Johnson has stubbornly, wickedly, maliciously trampled the laws of Congress under his feet. There is no doubt of his guilt in, any unprejudiced mind. He has courted impeachment, hoping to secure the Democratic nomination by raiding the cry of martyrdom. Congress iia« borne with his many short-comings with commendable patience.: But for him the Southern States wo'd have adopted the constitutional amendment and long ago been restored to their practical relations in the Union. He has done all lie could to keep alive the ill feeling between the Xorth and the South. We are not surprised that the House of J'upresentatives can bear with him 110 longer. He is undoubtedly guilty. Let him he impeached and removed, and the people will say Amen. He has shown himself to be a bold, reckless, bad man, and the sooner we are rid of him, the better it will be for all concerned. From

thc first moment of his entrance into the

We are glad to observe that Mr. Colfax, the Nation's most trusted statesman, came down from the Speaker's stand and east his vote Fon the impeachment-of Andrew Johnson. The. result of the movement against Mr. Johnson is not doubtful. The Senate will find him sruilly. and the people will approve its verdicl.

than substantiated, we commend them to a perusal of articles written by such men as Wendell Phillips. The truth is the nomination of Grant is the utter and total defeat of the bogus'Democracy, and they catch at and cling to straws like drowning men. The people have taken the matter in hand, just as they did the suppression of the rebellion, and the copperhead household may as well set their house i.11 order, and prepare to join that- innumerable throng which will take np its march to the quiet shades of Salt River in October and November.

InSon State Convention. We had the pleasure of attending the Convention at Indianapolis last week, and wish every Republican voter in the county could have shared the pleasure with us. It was one of the largest ever held in the State, every county being represented, and many, indeed, furnishing a dozen times more delegates than the apportionment allowed them. The action of the Convention was characterized by a wisdom and unanimity of feeling of which the party may well feel proud.— We heard no one suggest the possibility of defeat, but all seemed to feel the absolute certainty of an overwhelming victory for the Republicans in the coming contest, The ticket selected is unexceptionable, and the platform is one upon which we can all rally and fight vigorously and uhitedl}7. .Every face gave evidence of enthusiasm, and every eye beamed with a determination to win.— The democracy may as well send in their measure to the undertaker and prepare to toss up the sponge quite early on the evening of the second Tucsda\- of October next.. There can be no mistaking the signs of the times. The democracy arc weakening daily, and the Republicans are gaining strength.

dered to his duties as Adjutant (ionera! of the arnVt. On Monday, after a long discussion, the House passed a resolution impeaching Andrew Johnson of high crimes and misdemeanors by a vote of

ard, Trumbull, Conkling, Edwards, Pomeroy, Morton and Johnson. The fears at first entertained of a clash of arms between the President and Congress have subsided, and latest advices indicate the peaceable adjustment of the matter by courts and the Senate.

The situation at the War Office remains unchanged up to the latest advices. Mr. Stanton is in undisturbed possession, and seems to be under the impression that all Avill be settled peaceably. Adjutant General Thomas called yesterday to see Assistant- Adjutant General Town-send,-and. very meekly inquired for his private mail, which was given him, whereupon he sensibly took himself home and staid there. A Cabinet meeting was held Tuesday afternoon, at which the War portfolio, was unrepresented by anybody. It.waS'thcre agreed that the spotted, and

Washburn on Impeachment Mr. WASHBURN,, of Illinois, de-, clared that he should vote for the reso-! lution before the House, acting with a majority of the Republican members.j lie had not hitherto favored impeachment against the President, not because he did not believe him morally guilty of

impeachable offense, not because he did I HAVTXC

not execrate his administration, but be- new

cause he felt that in the cause.as heretofore presented, there might be a doubt of his conviction, rather than try a doubtful experiment in the hope that the President, warned.by. the power of the House, and indebted for its forbearance would so conduct himself as to avoid the necessity of resorting to the extreme penalty provided by the Constitution but all snch hopes had been disappointed. Every act of forbearance had been but a fresh invitation to further and more flagrant aggressions, until at last he had flung himself against the very bulwarks of the Constitution, defying the laws, over-riding the co-ordinate branches of the Government. The time had now arrived when the people's representatives could

:igainst the peace and prosperity of the country. The whole official career of tlie President had been marked, by a wicked disregard of all his obligations of publie duty, and by a decree of perfidy, treachery and turpitude unheard of in

the history of the rulers of a free people

and was as medaeious rs he was malignant. He may try iu his official position to hurl down and destroy the bravest, the noblest and the best in the land, lie administration lias been a constant and prolonged warfare against all the material interests of the country it had frustrated business, oppressed labor., destroy- the section corner of

ed States, impaired the public credit,

sapped the public morals. Surrounded bv red-handed rebels, advised.and counselled by the worst men that ever crawled like reptiles at the footstool of power, lie has used all the vast authority of the Government to prevent tlie union of the States and the restoration of peace and happiness to the country. The loyal men in the rebel States have been brought to a condition under liis administration from the contemplation of which all men recoil with horror. Murder, rapine, incendiarism, robbery and all the crimes stalk through the whole land, and every day he remain's in office adds to the long list of victims of rebel vengeance, cruelty and hate. With such a President nearly all the departments of the Government had become demoralized and corrupt to an extent unpa railed in the .history of any country and any'age. The Attorney General, not satisfied with being his medium through which so many mail robbers, counterfeiters and public plunderers have been pardoned and turned loose upon the country, has with ostentatious and boastful audacity proclaimed that he will not vindicate the laws of Congress. Look at the Navy Department, with its profligacy, robberies, and persecutions of the honest and best naval officers of the country. The Treasury Department was characterized by the most appalling irauds, with countless millions of revenue stolen, to go into the pO.ckets of thieves, partizans and plunderers or to make up a vast political fund to demoralize and corrupt the people. The Interior Department, with the load of jobbing and'•contracts' and corrupt extension of patentsthe Postotlice Department is arraigned before the House by a Cominitteee of the Ilouse, and the State Department is arraigned before the rulers1of the earth for its failure to vindicate the rights of the nation and the citizens of the nation, Confronted as we were this day by this State of things, so threatening to the national existence, and so destructive to all that is held dear to posterity, 'where is the patriotic man of any political organization who does not call upon Congress to sternly do its whole duty and purge this capital Of the crimes which now defile the nation
