We do not wish to be considered a disorganirer, or anythincr of the kind ; hut we have noticed with crreat pain, that the eastern democratic press, in the interest of bond-holders generally, and democratic bondholders particularly, is preparing, or trying to prepare, the minds of the" democratic masses for the dropping of the bond question, as presented by Mr. Pendleton and others, and endorsed by nearly all the western state convention-. We arc not at all surprised at this attempt, hut have been looking for it ever since the time and place of holding the democratic national convention was determine 1 upon. We ariali we could say to our democratic friends, and to the laboring aud prodacing classes general!) .that there is a brigbl prospect just ahead fur us, but we cannot corincientiously make 8U di an announceaf ment. After reading portions of Governor Seymour's speech at Albany, N. Y., made a few days mgO and seeing extracts like the fallowing from the Ary.ts, we must say that we have but little hope of aveess in the eoOMHg contest. Tlie itlatl i3 trying to avoid the rear Ihft isuta those that are uppernost in the ninds of the peiple, and SHfJf li 1 11 J the people of the north-we.-tsrn states, namely the tinance question, the question of equal and just taxation, and of constitutional governmeat. Here is ths paragraph we allude ffl : ' It looks lc u as if thcri was hut one qu"st!ja in vie w cT which all problems of finao. c, of taxation, of constitutional construction sink iotj i?;signiiiicance the question of the existence oi representative g iVL-rument, and of the tupremay of law over brute fjiec." There is no u-e trying to das raise f!: fact that the hi nd nOeation is. to a great Stent, u sectional i jn Li oa, and it is emj hatically a contest between the interests of the rich and interests of the poor the bondholder and the laborers of the country. AVe hope wc may be w;og in our ideas but we can see nothing to even make u doubt that our fears nrc vr'.i f uuded. With a bond hoi ler- laak in our national platform, overwheimin defeat stare; us in the face as a party, for there is no one of the north-western stStes thai c:.uld he counted on with certainty f ,r the democracy, chained to such a dead weight. The masses el the democratic part) trill not be iatlsned wiih the convention passing these living issues idly by. They demr.n l and trill k ni a lain dtclarati m ot the con-e;iii-u on the. -e ims. They want no u -re Chicago plalsniiii nor twofaced canuidates for them. We fear an i believe that the national democratic cor.rentmn was called to he at New York In the interest- of bond-holding democrats generally. TLey may succeed iu controling the conve.ition but they oauuot control the votes of the hone.-t laboring men v. ho hare too much good vrnc manly pride left them, to support them in their idleness and corruption. We go fur the preatest good to the greifest number, equal and exact justice to all; just taxation, und a representative government. We had hoped that the democratic party would con." out " faif and square " upon the bond question, because we believe it is the right time, and if it did not give at victory now, it would place tns party on the record aa the friend of the.jlaborers and producer of the country.

"DiED. at his residence in Cambridge City, Ind.. at 1 m., Sunday, March 15th. Mr. J- hn C.

Mr. Lutz was respected by alt for his many excellent qualities of head and heart, and a wide circle of friends ;iud acquaintances mourn his loss, and deeply sympathize with the widow and the rphan. He wa3 buried with Masonic honors. We quote the concluding portion of a eulogy written on Mr. Lutz, by a friend: "John C. Lutz was a remiFkahls man of the aire in which he livrd. Hc was by nature kind, generous and congenial. He had an utter contempt f r all that Was: seltish or deceitful ; c ;uid not hold IB high esteem those whom he reardei as unprincipled, or those actuated and controlled by e;!-interest.

On Mjnday the high court of impeachment araiu etnv 'med. and tho president appeared by counsel and put in his answer to the ccvera! articles presented against him, and ashed for thirty day's further time. The court grunted him until next Monday, when the trial will positively proceed. The following is a brief synop- j sis of tho president's rply, from the Chicago TTincs, of the 21th: The resident's answer to the first article consists of a long lcjral argument against the tenure-of-office bill, and in favor ..f the president' right to remove his cabinet officers at pleasure. He confesses to having issued an order last February for the removal of Stauten a second time, and to having appointed Lorenzo Thoioaas secretary or war. He denies that the order f i r the removal of Stanton was in violation of the constitution of the United States, or ar.y laws thereof, or of hi oath of office.

For answer to the third article, tho respondeut denies that he made any appointment to the war cflice, but sioiply authorized Gen. Thomas to act ad int rim. J'.r answer to the fourth article, he denies having conspired with Geu. Thomas or any other person to prevent Stanton from holding the office of secretary of war. He further denies having authorized any force to be used iu removing Stantou. He dpella on this at length, and excepts to all the allegations m ide. j i r ün-wtr tQ tue fi'"th article, the re-

He says his speech on that occaiiol wa incorrectly reported, and that the extracts named in the articles in nafta tiitn bv the house of represt ntattfes are not parts of his speech. He makes the same statement with regard to his OlevO land Speech. lie also denies the correct neos of passages quoted in tho artude from his St. Loui speech.

He denies basing en de.ivored to hrint con "ics into eonte.mot. .;n,j aM,rrs that, during his official career, he always acknowledged the authority and !e'nlii v of congress. The remainder of the answer consists of an elaborate defence of his several speeches. The reading of the answer occupied one hour and a half. Tiif, Champ m, published at New Castle, Penn., is out for Dan. Rice for the presidency. Ln describing what M lan." is not, the Champim accurately portrays what certain radicals are ! He never dogged, drove, marauded, murdered and dumued those who houestly opposed hin , nor crested a heli on earth and daily blasphemed and defied the Su preme being, as does IJrimstone BrowoloW, another M. G. and present ruler of the !,c11 hc pred, by congressional license. in the territory f rmeriy known as the sovereign state of Tennessee ! He is not a vietim pf beastly passions, and a howling hater of the race lie sprang from, as is the Plutonian Gelding, coward, Sumner, an other G. and radical senator! He is not wealthy through bounty -brok inn, ho-pttal-awindliog, sanitary-stealing, armycontracting, government-robbing, widow and orphan -making, h umanit -crushing, labor-oppressing i cotton-thieving and nigr ger-delnding, as is the great body of radical bloody sneaks, thieves and avaricious aristocrats wh would iike to ridicule or in some way drive him out of the ring." In relering to the resolutions adontc 1 by the Michigan republiciu sate convention, the LaPorte Ciion and II: aid says: M The platform is discreetly silent on the greenback-currency question."

There has been more hard feeling apparently, shown there at the prospect of not being able to get a peep at the President's trial than there Was Over the difficulties of good seats at Mr. Dicker's readings. Grant I father tells he Ledjftr that Ulysses once; worked for four years on i farm giveu him by his wife's father, and and at the end of the time wae poorer than wheu he hesran. Undo Sam's farm does not need that treatment Wendell Phillips, in a letter to the Ati-Stacery Standard, says that "to have impeachment fail, would be a national infamy, in the black darkness of which the mere annihilation of the Republican tarty would be but a trival matter." Judge Llack, Judge Curtis and Mr. Stanbery- are now in charge of the impeachment trial on the part of the President, but Mr. 8. H. Sweet, of Illinois, has been telegraphed to. and with Hon. Thomas Ii Nelson ol Tennessee, is expected to aid in the defence.

There can be no doubt of the speedy success of Iiis mission, as our merchants are very anxious to secure for Chicago the first benefits of direct rail way communication with the great mining centre, Denver City. Our trade with that territory is already immense, but bears no proportion to that which must spring up as soon as railway traffic from here to Denver is commenced. A topic of great interest to Chicago at present is the proposition of the county supervisor to build a huge wing on the Clark street side of the court house, if the city will build a similar wing for the purposes of city officers, on the opposite, or LaSalle srcet side, and will pay fifty thousand dollars for half of the county's right in the public square.

The political newsmongers at this side are beginning to speculate on the subject of our government's allowing Admiral Farragut to spend so much time in visit ing the continental capitals, and getting himself lionized. A letter from Florence in the Correspondence (Jincral de Vi nur has the following remarks on the subject : "Admiral Farragut makes m.;re noise than was ever ma le by any admiral at the head of a small division of five vessels of war. But the eastern question may from day to day asume a dangerous character. 1 he United States propose to take par: in the future in European affairs, and they are cucouraged iu this intention by llu the Levant, when she becomes mistress ol of it. It has always been the desire ol the great republic to have a pitd-a-tcrre, (a foot-hold ) in Europe. There is, opp isite the island of Rhodes, the roadstead of Marmarizza, which is vast in extent, perfectly sheltered from the winds, and with an excellent bottom tor anchorage, ihei United States asked it from Turkey, pr -ising to build there a lar.e city under the sovereignty of the sultan, but England upposed the concession. It is now afirmod ; that K iissia has contracted engagements With the United State in regard to it. As soon as the war breaks out, the Ait ericans will have their port. The Russians are very marked iu their atteutio.s to Ad miral Farragut." Fornky. Mack, in his Washington correspondence, says : Speaking of Forney reminds me of a question which it is worth while to ask j him, in view of sotse of his recent para graphic palaver about Alabama reconstruction. He takes tlie ground that inasmuch :is the rebels have never publicly rtn on need the doctrine of secession, or never expressed their sorrow for involving the casiUtry ie the late war, they eaaeot be tr astcd with political power. Now. the distinguished "Colonel"' once wrote a latter which has since figured in a divorce ease. He advises a friend to get another man drunk in order that he might get from him an admission "as a thing to be proud of" that he had illicit connections with Mrs. Forrest, to the end that this ndinistnon might be nsc 1 to secure the divorce Tr Pot rest. Now the point is this: Has Forney ever "publicly re nnnnced the doctrine eontaineJ in that letter I If not, according to his own standa e t . 1 ....... l , ard Ol rirht and repentance, he oagnl , , f , .. o r Bl t0 "C t!U'e1, rr hc lsst,n 10 filvor nl faj0iv wearine away any woman's eharae- . m ter He says the SOUthem people are .-tiil J rebels because they have not publicly re nonnced secession, atid I am only giving him I dose of his own medicine.
