State should be properly represented in the
United States Senate.
I could show by the records that I bare been j
absent from the impeachment trial but a small i
portion of the time. It commenced in March, j
just fifty days ago to-day. I was absent from !

mote our gepefal welfare, and secure the bits- | show that I have not been a constant drinker,
sings of plunder to ourselves and our posterity, and prove that my yielding to temptation to j
ordain and establish this Constitution for the
United Satrapies of America.”
The following are selected from the various
articles and sections of this new Constitution:
THE LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT.
All legislative powers shall be vested in a
Congress of the United Satrapies, which shall
consist of a Senate, a House of Representa
tives, and a Caucus.
All the powers of the Government of the
United Satrapies shall be legislative powers.
The House of Representatives, or the Caucus,
shall be the judges of the elections, returns
and qualifications of every member of either
House.
The Congress shall have power to do any
thing.
A tax or duty may be laid upon at tides ex
ported from any Satrapy: provided, that pref
erence shall be given by ail commercial regu
lations to the ports of the Satrapies of Massa
chusetts, Maine and Rhode Island.
The Congress shall have full authority over
the lives, liberty, and property of the people
of the various Satrapies.
Old Satrapies may be Excluded from this
Union, at the pleasure of the Congress, what
ever their population or wealth may be; but
use stimulants has been periodical, and after
long and exhaustive labors. 1 could show
that I baye never appeared in the Senate ex
cept when sober, and that notwithstanding
occasional departures since J have been in the
Senate. I Lave for most of the time performed
my duty; but .1 waive all mere technical ad
vantages which I might have in a controversy
as to my conduct.
I write you, not to justify, but to waive all
defense, and frankly confess to you the weak
ness which, at times, has borne me down, and
which was calculated to bring discredit upon
my State and myself. It is my nature to be
frank, and especially do I owe it to you who
have showered favors and honors upon me, to
be so now. I will not attempt justification or
excuse, especially when I have often publicly
said that men holding public trusts should be
sober men.
During twenty-seven years of political ser
vice—with the exception of ten of those years
when I totally abstained—I have often yielded
to temptation, and as often have sutfered the
pangs of unutterable remorse. I can say that,
in a certain sense, my sin has been my punish
ment. To lose your respect might seem pun
ishment enough, but you can scarcely imagine
how a proud man feels when he has reason to
Weary of the Night.
BY THOMAS BUCHANAN READ.
The shadow of the midnight hours
Falls like a mantle round my form;
And ali ’he stars, like Autumn flowers,
Are banished by the whirling storm-
The demon clouds throughout the sky
Are dancing in their strange delight,
While winds unwearied play—but I
Am weary of the night.
Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise,
And dawn upon me with thine eyes.
The li.uieu, like a lover, stands,
And taps against »he window pane—
The willow with its slendc^ hapds
Is harping on the silver rain.
I’ve watched thy gieaming taper die,
And hope departed with the light;
The winds unwearid play—but I
Am weary of the night.
Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise,
And dawn upon me with thine eyes!
The gentle morning comes apace,
And smiling bids the night depart,
Rise, maiden, with thy Orient face,
And smile the shadow from my heart!
The c ouds of night affrighted fly,
Yet darkness seals my longing sight,
All nature gltdly sings—while I
Am weary of the night.
•Then rise, sweet maiden mine, arise,
And dawn upon me with thine eyes.

seriously considered.
To those whose affectipns for me have hitherto

which I hold at your bands, and I hope they

But to you, fellow-citizens, I do apologize
without reserve or defense. I do not ask the
tuition about the sincerity of individuals was
more accurate then than that of her husband.
She looked beyond and read the reflection of
aciion in the future. Her hostility to Mr.
Chase was very bitter. She claimed that he
was a selfish politician instead of a true patri
ot, and warned Mr. Lincoln not to trust him
too tar. The daughter of the Secretary was
quite a belle in Washington^ a-id Mrs. Lincoln,
who was jealous of the popularity of others,
had no desire to build up her social position
through political favor to her father. Miss
Chase, now Mrs. Senator Sprague, was a lovely
woman, and was worthy of all the admit ation
she received.
Mr. Lincoln wa3 more confiding than his
wife. He never suspected the fidelity 7 of those
who claimed to be bis friends, Honest to the
core himself, and frank as a child, he never
dreamed of questioning the sincerity cf others.
“Father, I wish you would inquire a
little into the motives of Chase,’’ said his wife
one day.
The President was lying carelessly upon a
sofa, holding a newspaper in his hands.
“Mother,you are too suspicious. 1 give yon
credit for sagacity, but you are diposed to
magnify trifles. Chase is a patriot and one of
my best friends.”

Mrs. Lincoln could not tolerate Gen. Grant.

“and is not fit to be at the head of qh army.”
“ But he has been very successful in the

“ Yes, he generally manages to claim a vic

slaughter. Grant, I repeat, is an obstinate
fool and a butcher.”
“ Well, mother, supposing that we give you
command of the army. No doubt you would
do much better than any General that has been
tried.” There was a twinkle in the eyes and
a ring of irony i;: the voice.
I have often heard Mrs. Lincoln say that if
Grant should ever be elected President of the
United States, she would desii'e to lcitve the
country and remain absent during his term of
office.

The President and Judge Black.
ELEVATED EXAMPLE OF MR.JOHNSOg.
There is a portion of tlic speech of Mr. Nel.
son in Ihp impeachment case not in the line of
tis argument for the President, but which is
nevertheless of peculiar interest, and which
incidentally illustrated in a very striking and
honorable manlier the rigid and uncalculating
firmness with which 'vr. Johnson adheres to
his conviction of duty. It is the recital of
facts given by Mr. Nelsqa relating to the with
drawal of Judge liiack from the defense of
the president, air. Nelson slates that while
Judge Black was one of the counsel fur the
President ho had an iptetview with the Presi
dent, “ tr uing upon him to take action in
reference to the rights of citizens of the Uni
ted States upon the island of Alta Vela, anu
the sending of an armed vessel to take pos
session cf it.
“The President having declined to do so,
Judge Black (acting as one of the parties in
terested iu Alta Vela) declined to appear fur
ther as counsel iu his case.” “Such,” said he,
“are the facts in relation to the withdrawal of
Judge Black; and so far as the President is
concerned, ‘the head and front of his offend
ing hath this extent; fib more.’”
Well may Mr. Nelson say that the conduct
of Andrew Johnson UQder these circumstances
was such as will elevate him in the estimation
of every’high-mindtd man iu the country.—
Here was a lawyer whose great legal and
forensic abilities had induced the President to
look to him as the sheet-anchor of his defense,
and whose combative and vehement energies
would have been sufficient to throttle Butler
at the very threshold of the struggle, delibe
rately given up by the President rather than
yield to an ulterior purpose, by doing an bet
which would have increased tiie President’s
popularity witb the unthinking, and which wa3
actually solicited in a letter signed by four of
the managers of the impeachment, since the
impeachment proceedings began !
But the President did not believe that he
had the right to do the act, and though his
very political existence q;::s trembling in the
balance, he refused to do it, knowing he was
by that refusal adding to his enemies, depriv
ing himself of the strength of Judge Black’s
powerful assistance, and exposing himself to
the sjander which ha3 actually been circulated
since", that Judge 'Black liad'abandoned him on
account of'his guilt. It would be difficult to
find on record a more admirable example of
lofty and more uncompromising devotion to
principle, and there is no true man in all the
land whose respect for the President will not
be increased by it.—Baltimore Sun.

Thi Boy and tbs Bricks.—A boy bearing
his father say, “ It'was a poor rule that wouldn’t
work both ways,” said, “If father applies this
rule about his work I will test it in my play.”
iSo getting up a row of bricks, he tipped over
the first, which, striking the second, caused it
to fall on the third which overturned the fourih,
and so ou until all the bricks lay prostrate.
“Well,” said the little boy,' “each knocked
down its neighbor. I ouly tipped one. Now
I will raise one, and see if it will raise its
neighbor.”
“He looked in vain to see them rise.
“ Here, father,” said the boy, “ tis a poor
rule, ’twill net work both ways. They knock
ed each other down, but will Tiot raise each
other up.” *
“Mv son, bricks and mankind are alike
made of clay, active in knocking each other
down, but not disposed to help each other up.”
