Sl btdlißßb [Correspondence Cincinnati Cumnie/ciai.j Don Piat Pronounces the Republican Party Dead, and Discourse* Thereon. Mac-ajcheek, Muy 17, ’6B. f IMPEACHMENT. I wish to make a few observations, of a philosophical sort, touching the late, Republican party- . ' I assisted, some twelve or thirteen years since, at the birth of the party just demised, having traveled from the Mac-a-cheek Valley to Buffalo, carrying a plank for the platform on which the newly born was to be cradled, and my affections have grown with its growth to such an extent that its sudden death threw me into estate of profound grief, disturbed by indignation. I passed from lamentation to an indignation, meeting, j and from an indignation meeting to grief. But with reflection came consolation. I came to the consoling thought that I was not the only sufferer, and handing out my surplus affliction to my beloved country at large, I found my share could be carried without much inconvenience. , < The immediate cause of its death was dyspepsia, aggravated by whiskey. But the seeds of weakness and | disease were planted in its birth.— IWe began a party of reform, of ' aggitation, of aggression, and we i took into pur embraces the old i Whig party, that was a party of I conscrvatisreP, aggravated by great : dignity and timidity. The result I Iras been internal dissensions.—r The nltAi reform party could not digest the conservative lump, and we have been afflicted with colie, so to speak, that well nigh dcstroed our weakness. Our actions in consequence have been contradictory. While at one time-we create a John Brown, and a glory in John Brown as our greatest, and best beloved huge armies ; fought out big wars, and liberated a race; on the other hand we have.been busy smoothing our ■ war’s wrinkled front with the deI payed plasters of past wrong doing.' It is called compromise—j which means to give the devil ! your soul in a dignified, peaceful manner. Thejatest„ internal convulsion exhibited with great clearness the different eleninjts. On. the one side we ha 1 Butler. Stevens. Bing ham. Logan, Sumner and Drake ; on the other stood in calm repose Fessen ley and Trumbell; while between floated an other element, . born of the revolutionary times, i that had its mark'‘table value, and i fluctuated as either party bid. Now, I am prepared to .admit that Messrs. Fessenden an Trmn bell were actuated by the highest and the most honorable motives. Ido not believe they could be I bought with money, or swaved by prejudice. They felt th;it they were jurors, under oath, answers ble to their God for the verdict ■ they ren lered. Nor do T blame ! them for responding as they did to i the solemn question asked them by the Chief Justice. I believe this as I believe the thirty-five voting “guilty’’ were honorable, honest men. But, du political life, a blun der is worse than a crime, and Messrs. Fessenden and Trumb dl blundered in belonging to the Republican organization at all. They should have gone over to the party ofStanberry and Groesbeck, where the old Whig dignity is preserved intact, and where so intenseYhat an ancient wrong is preferred to a new right, and j whore ollicial position is so glorified that a halo is thrown .around an inebrtatrd mntn. Hint an alb wise Providence, through some iuscrutible reason, has set on end and made our President. When impeachment was first broached, the evidence was .as well known as it was at the end nf the ■trial. At tho beginning Messrs Fessenden and TruiiHK'H should have made their fight. ’Failing to <lefeat it. they should have resigned their positions as honorable mon, and washed their dignified hands of the responsibility. But they chose to reserve themselves for a conflict when their triumph icouhil he our death, are somewhat astonished at their popular howl of wrath and indignation that comes up over their dignified, hon-1 est. honorable stupidity. We could have survived a blun- i der great as this is, had it come alonc, but it is tho concluding act of • long series. Through the uhsetfled condition of a country suf-' soring from civil wars, we have developed more rascality than any organization ever called into existence. We have filled the offices with thieves and their pockets with stealings. We have organized rings, that in turn create of

flee holders and control the Government. Men go in poor and come out millionaries. For one dollar paid to the Governm. nt from hard earned taxes, hundreds stick to the dirty fingers of official scoundrels. We have whiskey rings, Indian Bureau rings, manufacturers’ rings, railroad rings, ■ laud jobbing rings, and internal ' improvement rings. From ths . lowest official, up to Senators and ! Cabinet officers, the taint of corruption runs, until the people dozed and confused confound the right and listen with indifference to the threats of exposure. ' Wheu charged with all this they have responded : “Andy Johnson is corrupt, and appointed scoundrels to office.” Well, Messrs. Fes i senden an Trumbell have, under oath, pronounced him not guilty, : and let him go acquit. : At the end of a fearful war the J people had a right to expect that the expenses of the Government' shoiil l be brought back, at once. I : to a peace footing. They demgml ' e l a reducti'iu of the army to what it was in 1860-, that the useless monitors should be sold for old ' iron ; that the hundred thousand | thieves, calll-d office holders. : should be.dissmissed, and the appropriations ent down to areas onable expenditure. "We have replied that Andrew Johnson, who came in through as- , sassination, has organized assas- ' ' sination at the South, and an ar my of at least fifty thousand* men iis necessary to keep the peace.— • j Messrs. Fessenden and Trumbell have voted not guilty, and let An -; drew go acquit. • j The people have expected that I in onr h inds reconstruction at the • . South would progress with reas- ■ j onable speed, ami that unhappy ; region restored to a state of quiet i and prosperity. The expectation ‘ might not be reasonable, for the blind bigotry that hurried us int > I ; a bloody war has developed in hate I that, with stupid fury, casts aside I all social and legal restraint. Bit jibe answer that-our.wise acts of legislation have been rendered null and void by an Executive that plants itself squarely in opposition ■ to the law-making power. Now .Messrs Fessenden and Trumbell “not guilty,” and the acciftc I aci T ,!t ; We awaken to the unpleasant ' fact that not Andrew Johnson, but ‘ the Republican party his been on trial, and the sentence is a sentence of death, rendered by our o wn Sen atoi[s, who have grown fat, rich, j afid great through our organize tion. To have such a trial, with such a result, ( and Messrs. Fessen .den and Trumbell knew it as well ' at the beginning as they did at the eml.) a’great blunder—a blunder worse than a crime. It may be ' that the disgust felt by the country : at large far the Democratic peace party nuBF call inti existence a new the Repub liean party is dagl. hj]d we may as i well gracefully a TmJflM face and accept-the I notice that certain journals, i such as the Krening Po* f , Nation, and Chicago Tribune, aresngestedj with the manner in which the press and people treat th<f' seven Sena-1 tors “Were they not under oath ? I Were they not jurors cry the virtuous journalist. “It is shame I ful.” Well, yes : they were under oath, and in sonrio sort of way they were jurors: but they were under several oaths, ami bound'by some i two cd three of them when they de- j ci led the constitutionality of the T ‘mire of office law, and that Stan-1 ton could not. be dismissed by j Johnson. I have no wish to ar guc the merits of the case, hut can not help laughing at the scruples so solemnly elaborated, to excuse a stupid blunder. Fessenden and Trumbell pronounced upon the 4 guilt of Johnson'when they decided upon the conduct in the case of Stanton, and the addition of ■ two-or- three" oaths’ “COMld nol' change the fact. — J ' The fact is, I doubt whether these two funeral dyspeptics rod ize tho fact that the Republican party was in deop earnest in this matter of impeachment. The country had been very quiet during tho progress of the.investigation, be cause the unhappy old animal at the White House had no party to’ get excited over his official exeeu-. tion. He had in fact, no real friends This state of quiet acquiescence was taken for inditfer- ' once by our Senatorial dys|M’|Hics and they insist have been considerhly astonished st the storm that broke upon their devoted head*. I do not believe thst 'Fessemlen is a politician, and I know that Trumbell is not. I remember trav cling with the last named from Springfield to Chicago shortly after the first eleetioif of Lincoln, and before that elongated embodiment ' of all the honor, honesty «nd *ii- 1

dom extant was inaugerated. Ami I recollect the utter impossibility of getting back of TrumbeH’s gold-rimmed spectacles the idea that the South meant business, and could do us great injury. He has nothing common with the masses, and none other than the late Republican party would rei turn such arP abstraction to the ' Senate. i Well, there is no use in being lachrymose over the lost lacteal.—■ I can stand it if the rest can.

A Story w ith a Moral. Sonic time since a lady calle<l upon .a celebrated oculist, in order to consult him on account of her eyes, complaining that their power of vision had of late considerably diminished. At a glance 'tho doctor saw she was a lady of rank and wealth. He looked at tho eyes, shook his head, and thought the treatment would [require much time, as there were reasons to fear amaurosis in her case. He must advise her, first of all, that, as she had informed him she-was residing a considerable distance in the country, she must move into the city at once, and thns enable him to see her frequently, if possible, daily. The lady then rented an elegant mansion ; moved into the city, and the physician was punctual in his attendance. He prescribed this and that, and thus days, run >•>?-. weeks and weeks in‘o ! onths. The cure, however, was still com ing. The physician tried to consoleher. One day the patient hit upon a curious scheme, and she waited not . long to carry it into effect. She procured for herself a very old and poor attire, put a hood of tremendous size upon her head, took an old umbrella and a market basket in her hand, and in these ! habiliments she visited her physiian, selecting for the purpose a very rainy day. She had So well succeeded in distorting and dis- . gui Jug herself that the eve even . of a lover could scarcely have re- ' cognizedJier. She was obliged to I wait for a long time in the anteroom of the physician with nvi®y other who. like her, were seeking relief. At last her turn came. “Well, my good woman, what have von to complain of?” “Very bad eyes, Doctor,” she ! answered, * He took her to tho ight, looked ’ into her eyes, but failed to re; I cognize his patient. Shrugging his shoulders, he’said : “Your eyes are well enough.” “WellY’ she said. / “Yes.'ye*, and I know what I am saying.” i “But I have been told that I was getting the a—a —forget how it ir called.” ■' “Amourosis ? ‘ ' -“Yes, that is it I) ?«t ?r.” ' “Don't you let them make yon . believe a:iV such nonsense. Your, eves are a little weak b but that is all. Yonr physician is an ass.” ; “An—?” ' “Y’es yc-. an ass ! Tell him le.fldi ly that I said so.” ; The lady now arose, end iii her ! customary voice, s.ii I: “Sir you : are my physician; don’t yonknow ■ me !” i The.face that the sage couiisoior made i* easier, to imagine than to describe. | “Gracious madam,'!u? c im.’nenc ed to, stammer an apology, but the la ly would not listen to him. and ' left him indijmen'?,’. She never saw the gentleman anv m >r?. The k ish Law in the Supreme Court. Tt is Redded, tn lie ('ondi'i Han d.— Justice Elliott yesterday delivered his long expected opinion in the case of Arthur Gentle ' involving the constitutionally of tho fish law. It is an able and carefully prepared document of a bout fifty foolscap pages in leimtii, ; and fully sustains the constitutibnalitv of the law.
