THE CAMPAIGN OVER.
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.

A Proclamation of Inlversal
Amnesty.
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.

The Executive and th e Supreme
Court to be Abolished—The Terms

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!

\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.

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.

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.
Anecdote of Butler. — Dr. — l — ,
of New Orleans, is in Washington at
present. He was a delegate from
Lousiana to the Charleston Convention
and a strong Douglass man. When
the Breckinridge faction withdrew from
the Convention, they went over to the
Maryland Institute and held their Con
vention in that place. In passing out
of the Convention. Butler accosted Dr.
and said : “Doctor, why don’t
you get away from this crowd of d—d
Abolitionists, aud cornu over among

WHEAT, Sell your Wheat while the market
is high. 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.
