This week closes out the very short luit spirited campaign for the ratifies. on or rejection of the new Constitu tion,-amt the election of Stale and conniy officers. It will be «ome time before we will know how the election has gone. We may conjecture and speculate as to the result, and many sensation dispatches will be sent to and fro, a? lias already been the case, but let us keep our souls in patience and svi ait the announcement of the official vote, as tar as the Governor’* election * ratification or rejection of the Constitution is concerned. We have hopes, however vague they may be, that our side will be victorious ; but human expectations ire often pointed, if such was not the case this would he a glorious little world we live in. Be that as we have said and one aljf that we cotld eay and do to carry our point. The fight has been foucht(Stbe victory won, but who wears the'laurels is yet to be seen. One thing is certain, old Democracy is aroused — she has awoken from her slumbers, and is alive to the issues now before the people; and whatever is or may he the result in Georgia in this elec tion, it will but prove a prelude to what she will do at the November elec tion if allowed to participate in the coming Presidential contest.

In the name of the Democratic con servative masses of this country we call upon President Johnson to issue forthwith a universal amnesty to all men who were encaged in our late rev olutionary troubles. It ought to have been c one long ago. It has been long required by the necessities and exigen cies ol the '■ountry. It is needed as a healing measure of pacification. It is required by the interests of humanity. To issue it wonld be the highest chap let in the laural wreath of this Admin istration. It would he a wreath which no subsequent impeachment or removal from office could in the least tarnish or deface. It is a measure demanded by the people. We have no doubt that a large portion of the Radicals even would be exceedingly rejoiced if it were donfe. The blood-thirsty spirit which at one time treated eight million of American people, composing eleven sovereign Statist, ascrimnals and male* factors—which called for their execu tion upon the scaffold —has moderated in a great degree. But still it is cher ished bv some malignant politicians and infatuated demagogues who are in power, who seek to gratify their cow ardly vengeance in the blood of such victims as may be in their power. — President Johnson ought to have had bv this time an expression of the tem per and character of these men, and, as far as may lie in his power, to put objects of persecution and hale beyond their reach. We have men who are still laboring wish fiendish arts to open anew the bloody sores of the wounds which a suicidal conflict has inflicted upon both sections of the country. 'File re-erection of the scaffold and the establishment ol a reign ol terror over the helpless South would be one of their favorite schemes. President Johnson, although imperfectly, and against great obsticles, has labored to restore peace and concord to the Union. His policy lias been in the main thwart ed and defeated ; but he can do much yet that will give him a glorious name and fame, by issuing a proclamation of universal amnesty. The war has now been over three years. The passions it engendered have, or ought to have, rome to an end. Its prejudices have had time to subside. The mass of the Southern people have already been pardoned. Those still marked out tor proscription are not more guilty than those who have already partaken of the favor of the Government. The discrimination against the remaining few is unjust, unwise and invidious in the highest degree. We entreat President Johnson to no longer hesitate. Let him put his signature to those words which an nounce “universal amnesty for all and he will, if put out of the Presiden tial office, be followed into retirement bv the sympathies of every lover of justice and humanity ; and even the pen which is his instrument in so do ing, will be preserved as one of the best historical relics in this country. — We beg Mr. Johnson to rise to the height of the occasion and no longer hesitate to declare that the reign of proscription for political opinion has ceased, and that the President’s pardon shall separate the oppressor from his contemplated victim. Special Telecram to the N. A . Herald. Ttac Great Radical Conspiracy. The Plot of the Radicals for the aver, throw of a Republican Government The Executive and th e Supreme Court to be Abolished—The Terms of Office of Grant and the Senators to be Extended to Ten Years —A Combined Military and Senatorial Dictatorship Contemplated. Washington, April 14, 1868. History records numerous instances, of conspiracies to overthrow existing governments, or to change ruling dy nasties, but they have generally been the work of a few restless spirits, who have kept their real designs concealed from all but their immediate associates and thus have led their followers blind ly on in the path of revolution in igno rance of its ultimate goal. The Jaco bins of France were bold in their ac tion; but even with them when their revolutionary fires were first kindled onlv by men who applied the match kne w fully the extent of the distructiosi that «;n designed to follow the confla gration. The Radical conspiracy now under full way at Washington is prob ably the most reckless that has ever •ought to strike at the life of a strong and beneficent government and to re duce a happy people to a stats of an archy. Events have occurred here within the past twp or three days which ren* der it certain that the ultimate object of the men who are now striving to con trol* the Republican party in Congress is to effect an entire change in our tv" publican form of government, and to substitute in its place a dictatorship more absolute and arbitrary than that of Robespierre and the Commune de Faria, The apparent triumph of the impeaclters on Saturday last, when the Senate,’after fifing the broadest licenae to the Managers in regard to the admis sion ofevidence against President Jchn son, refused to the latter the privilege of examining General Hlierman on point* vital to the defense, imparted such confidence to the Radical con spirator* as to tempt them to cast aside all caution, and to boast openly of their power and of the manner in which they are resolved to exercise it. In the bar rooms and oyer the dinner table prin ciples were avowed which, under other governments, would consign their ex ponents to a felon’s cell, The object of the revolutionist* were declared to be the entire overthrow ofeonstitution al republican government as a failure, proved l o be such by the war ofJt,b« bellioi), ?qd *he substitution of asoci.ll ed “(Qfoye/nme/it of the People*” un der the dHysive Jacobin cry of Liberty and Equaiity. The means and process by which tlii* end is to be accomplish ed are set forth a* follows: The conviction aud removal of An drew Johnson, and the installation of Ben ,Wade in the Presidency for three or four months before the commence ment of the next Presidential term. The election of Grant as President and Ben Wade as Vice President and President of the Senate, by the aid of martial law in doubtful Slate, if neces sary'. The virtual abolition of the Supreme Court of the. United Stales, by strip ping the judiciary of the power to pass upon the uneonsiitutionaU'y «»f a»y act ol Congress re'ating to reconstruction or to the business of the government, The extension cl the term of office of the President, Grant, the Vice Presi dent, VV ade, and the present United , Stales Senate to ten years from the Ist of March, 18G9, on the [ilea that a con stantly recurring change in the govern* i ment is harmful in the exist'ng condi i tion of the country, auil was one of the | main causes of the late war of the re- I hellion. \ The unlimited inflation of the eur ; renew, through the instrumentality of | the national banks, so as to throw up on the country an enormous amount of paper money, by means of which the people are to be kepi in a state of ex citement and good humor, and tube amused and made satisfied with an ap parent prosperity. This is the end and aim of the radi cal conspiracy, to which impeachment is only one of the preliminary steps. The dictatorship will he nominal only, and the real power will be in the Sen ate, with Ben Wade at his head The appointments made by him during his brief term of power will be carefully' se lected Item die tool of the conspiratots, and the patronage and influence of the office holders will stand at the back of the revolutionary comrmmer. Grant will not have the power, if lie had the disposition, to change a single lea'ure in the programme —a single creature in the action of the drama —for the Senate will hold him in a vice stronger than that they have prepared for Andrew Johnson. With the latter out ol the. Presidential no voice will be raised in vetoes to expose the true char acter of radical legislation, and acts will be passed which will strike down what little of protection yet remains to the people in the barriers of the constitution With a paper currency flooding the country, speculation will run wild, stocks of all kinds will rise, railroad schemes, land schemes, and all the wildest projects that ingenuity can de vise will find ready votartiesjand in the general fire and smoke of the great rev olution the radical dictatorship will be made perpetual. The united power of Grant, the Senate and the national banks is relied upon to crush out all opposition and to enforce a Reign of Terror to which the experience of 1862 and 1863 will be but a trifle. The con spirators cite the case of Louis Napo leon in support of their argument that boldness only is required to turn into an absolutism a rule commenced under the guise of republican liberty. The immediate admission of the Southern States, with their negro con stituencies and negro representatives, will follow the first successful steps of the conspiracy, and then the vote of New York in the House of Represen tatives will he nullified by thatol South Carolina. The real object of the Rad ical conspirators is no longer a secret. Men may shut their eyes to the truth, but the revolution will not go backward and its last acts, which are here fore shadowed, will corneas surely as mili tary rule, negro supremacy, the usurp ation of lit* constitutional powers ol the Executive, the destruction of the Sit-, prerne Court, and finally, the impeach ment of the President of the United States, have one after another followed the close of the war ol the rebellion. Tfie Northern Methodists Pre paring the way for Re-enslav in? the Blacks and Whites. Editor New York Herald: ••The religion ol the North is bound to rule this continent, and those who stand in the wav (as you all do in the South) must get out of the way.”— Such is the assertion of a Northern Methodist minister, so-called, of Chic ago in a recent letter to the Knoxville Free Press. He again says that “re ligion is simply one’s conviction of duty to one’s self, his fellows, and his Creator,” and “has nothing to do with rewards and punishments in some fath er worlds but belongs entirely to one’s sojourn on this earth.” ilealsosdvs: “We have our own views and sentiments, which, with us, are the Creator’s views and desires as to us, and being the stronger, we announce our claim, by God’s laws, to all those men and things which coats in our way. We therefore claim to own in fee simple every person and thing in all the conquered South in any wise appertaining to the Southern people, whether white or black. The blacks belong to us just as well as the whites; and if it were our religion to buy, sell, and work them as slaves, then it would be done, nniese a stronger religion should interfere to prevent u».” It will he observed that in defining his religion he places his duty to him self before his duly to his Creator or to his fellows, and we may infer, there fore, that considerations of private in terest will be paramount to any sense of duty towards God or of obligation to hi* fellow-beings, the wore especially as he disavows any belief in a future state of rewards and punishments. Is it to be wondered at, that such men have no reverence for the Constitution and laws of the country, which so frequently conflict with their own wills Whatever stand* in the way of tfipir whims or caprices is an obstacle, and “must be pyt out of the way.” The Bible and the Constitution, when found inapplicable to their pre-ordained pur poses, ‘gust both be studied, not in the light of the interpretatons of contempo raneous writers and with the aid of judicial decisions, but with a view to the exigency of a party. Have we not the cloven foot ol the Jacobin clearly exposed from under the assumed garb ol the Northern Methodist! Wc are having delightful weather. The inipeach««»t. •pectei ti-Wpia to the Herald. \Va»hinotow, A| ril 15, 1868. — Hie <mpeachmenttrwi 10-day wa* confined to the g**ing in *>f documentary evi dence, the principal share of which re lated to the practice of the Government in the matter of makii g appointments and issuing commissions, regular and ad interim. The message of the Pres ident in reply to the resolution of the Senate of the 22nd of February, pro testing against the removal ol Secretary Stanton, was rejected as incompetent evidence by the Chief Justice. All the other documentary testimony was ad mitted. All over town this evening a change of opinion seems to have taken place, and the acquittal of the President ap pears to be the prevailing impression. The way opinion changes on this question is quite wonderful. Impeachment seems to be like a game ol see-saw —it is constantly' up and down and down and up with the Presi dent and Radical opponents. People, even the few who generally have the opportunity for being well posted, are in a puzzle over the matter, not know ing lor 24 hours what to think, and catching at every little straw that is blown about in their eagi mess to reach some satisfactory conclusion. 'I here never before was a question before the national legislature about which there existed so much uncertainty and mys tery. One day the Senate seems all one way, and the next in a direction quite tlie opposite. But in all this strange dubity one thing may safely be taken as a guide, and that is the plot ting and planning for the Presidential succession. The result of the trial seems to bang more upon this than upon any conviction that may be arrived at as to the guilt or innocence of the ac cused. A week ago it seemed to be all fixed that tiie President should be re moved as a political necessity, but since Monday a hitch in the programme has occurred, and this hitch may be the saving ol lUe «CTv->,a;»g obstacle. General Butler, who has thrown his managerial colleagues into the shade since the hard work of the trial commenced, and who has made Bingham, Boutwell, Williams, Wilson, and old Thad himself, so many mere bobs to his high soaring kite, seems to have become the occasion of the hitch. Benjamin, of Lowell, lias his one eye keenly after the Treasury Department, and is known to be ambitious to suc ceed Secretary McCulloch in case Mr. Johnson should be doomed to an early retirement to the shades ol private life in Tennessee. Senator Wade, in this event, will owe his elevation to the Ch ief Magistracy principally to the audacity and ingenuity of Butler, who fully understands his worth, and will not scruple to exact his lull remunera tion to the last penny. It is believed that Butler settled this point witli Wade 9 lew weeks ago, and that the latter, in patting on the back both Boutwell, ol Massachusetts, and Senator Morgan, of New York, has only been playing a game, of his own to keep them quiet while there is danger. Boutwell and Morgan both yearn for McCulloch’s boots quite as much as Butler, he it known; Tut Butler, lor his superior services, was to carry ofi the prize. Such was the writing in the bond ; but now it appears General Grant's friends are beginning to figure out how the patronage will be arranged in case Wade gets in. If Wade lets Butler in, the latter will no manipulate as to se cure a powerful influence for himself and Grant’s friends foresee trouble ahead through this arrangement. It is being debated, therefore, wheth er it is worth while to remove Presi* dent Johnson, through General Grant’s aid, only to promote Butler’s interest at the risk of the chances of the Gener al-in-Chief. This new feature of the play behind the scenes is decidedly in favor of acquittal, notwithstanding the sound and fury before the footlights. The jealousies of the rival factions may result in breaking down the whole Radical plot, and the true policy of the President is now undoubtedly "deride at imperia.” By following this policy he can smash up the deep laid plan for a military dictorship and perpetuation of Radical rule foreshadowed in yester day’s dispatches. From Wuililnfftou. Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette. J Washington, April 17, 1868.—This has been by lar the most interesting day in the “High Court of Impeach ment,” as the Senate and the country are no* getting at the kernel of tiie nut which the Jacobins have been so busily cracking. Up to this time the display has been scenic and purely for efleet much of it most disgusting. Butler has nearly strutted out his brief display before the public, and the charges' against President Johuson are being now reduced to the test ot material facts. A distinguished Massachusetts General and member of Congress de clared l?st evening that the testimony given in during the day and greatly disturbed the friends and advocates of irti peach meat, as they had not appre* handed the facts to have been as testi fied to by Messrs. Cox and Merrick, the lawyers whom the President had employed to secure a judicial decision upon the constitutionality ot the Civil UfSee Tenure bill. When these law yfrt told of their employment anti of their efforts to secure a legal decision, and how their purpose had been thwart ed by Chief Justice Carter, aeting in the interest of the impeachers, a decid ed impression upon the Senate was clearly perceptible. But'lie testimony to-day is exposing the whole transac tion and shows how slanderous and absurd are all tbs chaiges made against President Johnson. A number of wit nesses from Cleveland and St. Louis testified that the President endeavored ty avoid speceh-msking, and positively declined until urged by the committees of arrangement at the tespeetive points, and after consenting to appear it was only to make his bow and say a few words ; and that he was forced in self defense to say what Its did by the in sulting interruptions of the Kadieal* who mingled with tks crowd- _ So far as the impeachment of the President is concerned all this testimony was un called for, unless we have fallen upon times when the liberty of speech it not only abridged, but men like Butler and Logan are to determine upon the pro priety of language to be used by others. Yet as a part ot the record it was well to show the esrcuinstance# under which the objectionable speeches were called out. The Hon. Gideon Welles being placed upon the stand, intense interest was manifested throughout the Senate chamber to hear his evidence. The old gentleman spoke in clear, distinct tunes, and waa heard in all parts of the im mense hall. Having stated that he was Secretary of the Navy, he made short work "of the 9th article of im peachment, and threw it overboard as if it had been a barrel of spoilt pork. Old Thad Stevens —whose pet article this was —becoming disgusted left the manager’s table and resumed a seat as a high private among the members of the llouse. The charge that the Pres ident had attempted to seduce General Eniorv, and engage him in his grand conspiracy against the welfare of the country, was not only disproved by Secretary Welles, but the fact estab lished that there were strong suspicions that Emory, had been seduced by the itnpeachers themselves. The tables were completely turned. The Presi dent was notified by his Secretary that j suspicious movements were on foot ; ! Emory was sent for and questioned | about then*. This was the extent of ! the President’s offense, and for this he 1 has been impeached. The members of ! the Cabinet will each be called to state all the facts as they occurred, and the country will be astounded at the total absence of any foundation for the char ges as concocted and presented by the Radical Jaoobins. 'The course of Butler in bullying the counsel and witnesses and insulting the Chief Justice has greatly disgnsted ev «n*». I,ut his attempt to falsify the proceedings, as exposed in the Senate this morning, should be regarded as placing him within the purview of the criminal statutes of ibe land. Senator Perry called attention to the fact that Butler had printed in the official pro* ceedings numerous tabular statements which has never been exhibited or read before the Senate, and he moved they should all be stricken out, which was ordered without a division. This or. der will stand as the verdict of guilt against Butler, and should consign him to the Tombs. A visitor at the White House would never suspect its occupant as being on trial under articles of impeachment. Mr. Johnson never looked better cr was more smiling and affable. A friend enters the reception room and after a cordial shake of the hs»d the President inquires w’ith perfect nonchalmce" any thing of interest stirring?—how is the impeachment trial progressing?”—pre cisely as if he had no special or par ticular interest in it, and inquires about that lustead of the weather. Tur 'l’wkxtv. sixth or April — Decorating Cokekdkrate Graves. The ladies will not forget, and the Southern press are requested to remind them, that the 26th of April is the An niversary for decorating the graves of our heroes who fell in the late war— As the day occurs this year ou Sunday it is suggested that the Saturday pre vious be universally adopted ill its •lead. Let the fair ladies of the South from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, gather around the little hillocks and the toinb stones which contain the ashes ol those who tell defending their homes and their Country, and deck them with flowers —wreathe their sweetest gar lands, and kneeling on the sod, let their holiest prayer go up to heaven for the e'ernal repose of their souls. If the spirits of the dead are permitted to view the scenes of this earth, no doubt the whole army of five hundred thousand dead will look down upon the work of that day and think that although the cause for which they fought was lost, they did not die in vain ; and that they are still embalmed within the memory of the purest daughters of the world. —Journal <s* Messenger.

And to do that you must have a THRESHER of your own, so you can thresh when you please.— Now what you want ig a Thresher suitable for a small force, one that oan easily he run by four light mules, and easily managed and not subject to get out of order. Such a machine I am now offering to Farmers known as the “ KENTUCKY THRESH Ell," Much improved, run* light, and Is easily understood by all who use them, and by care will last a lone time. The price, too, is very low, within the reach of all who may desire one. Give me your orders early, so your machines may be at homo ready for use; for the difference in the price of wheat at harvest, and later, often pavs for the Thresher. j. j, HOWARD.
