Thc Impeachment Proceedings. WASHINGTON*. April 22.-After half a dozi propositions had been voted down lue folio' ing was adopted : That as many of the managers and couns for the President as desire to do so be pe mitted to file arguments or address the ?Se ate orally." Judge Chase ordered lir. Boutwell to pr cced. Boutwell s.ird the Chief Magistrate of tl principal Rt public in thc world was on tri: The object of these proceedings was not ? the puuishment of* his offenn.. but for ll safety of the State. The i>su?.i between tl President a:id House of Representatives a technical and limited, namely, whether tl President hail violated the Constitution ai laws in removing Stantou arid appointing Gc Thomas. He then set forth the evils whi< he snid would probably follow an acknov edgraentrpf the President's power to remo officers at pleasure, ile maintained that tl alone rested with Congress, iu whom ti power was vested by the people. He argm that the Executive and Judicial departmerj of the Governnent are denied all discretion <w ry or implied powdrs, and tfcat Congress ct T adapt an administration to thc condition the national life. The President must a minister the law as he finds it, and can mal no inquiry iuio its constitutionality. A pub! < firicec eua neither plead nor prove ?ood m lives i'.-r nullifying the law. The Preside has violated the law, and the Sonate can ent into no enquiry regarding the violated lai or their constitutionality. Hedenied that tl President desired to bring the question befo the Courts. His pretext was fully expose His object was to seize tho offices of the Go el ii ment, and by their influence reconstru the Union in the interests of the rebe.loi States. No criminal has ever been arraign? who offered more unsatisfactory excuses fi his crimes. He argued that Stanton's su pension and Grant's appointment were a knowled?ments of the legality of the Tenu: of Office Bill, behind which the Presidei could not go, and his subsequent attempt I remove Stanton was unauthorized by the Coi stitution and violative of the President's oat of office. This fact requires a verdict of h guilt under the first impeachment articl Thc advice of the Cabinet furnishes no excm -it was the advice only of servants to the master. Ile discussed the Constitution and practic of removals, closing his argument wit "none of the predecessors of Mr. Johnsoi from General Washingionto Mr. Lincoln,ev? claimed the power to' remove a civil office during the session of tue Senate without i consent, lie claimed that the Act of 179; even if right, was repealed by the Act < 18ii3. He argued the constitutionality of the Tel ure of Office Act, claiming that Johnson wt oaly serving out Lincoln's term, and that tl: law covered Stanton. He said the Preside! soea:s to have been under the influence cf criminal purpose to destroy Gtajit, as well ? remove Stanton, and attempted to carry 01 hi? purposes by various and treacher. us mctl ods, alteo piing to seduce General Shcrma and G. H. Thomas, and usiug General I Thomas. Thc nomination of General Ewin to the poil of Secretary of War, h? being mau of sevdoty nine years of age, who woul bc willing to vacate the office at any timi und leave it in tho hands of Johnson's too wu; a P"ri of the oid game. There is no reason to supposa that the pre: eat Secretary of the Treasury would not yiel to any scheme that Johnson might Undertake Regarding the President'? speeches, th House did not arraign the President for alan dering Congress, or for any purpose cf pr^. tection j but that a niau uttering such word is unlit for the office. ~u After narrating thc President's reconstruc tiuu course, Boutwell says thc II ;U--e brough this great criminal to jour bar u.?on the con victtou that the country was.in pyril. B -ut wei! concluded as folio w*: .' The Ilous of li .presentat:ves has presented this crimina a your bar with iqual coufidencu in his guilt uud in your disposition to administer cxac justice between Lim and the people of th United States. II.s conviction is the triump! of law, of order and of justice. I do no contemplate his acquittal. It is impossible therefore, I do no: lo k beyond. But S ma tors m??^?Lumim t * i?IL.zro? t?^Con^TtiTT?n The cause of the country is in your Lauds Your verdict ot guilty is peace toour belove: land.'" Curtis announced that it was doubtful whether Stanbury would be :.ble to take fur ther part in tho trial, and Gro?sbCek will fol low Boutwell. WASHINGTON^ April 23_The Court cen tinucd. Boutwell concluded. Recess. Nelson, of Tcnucssee, spoke extempore and alluded tu the magnitude ot the occasion. He feared thc Lek of ability properly to treat it. Managers charged Johnson with evil nature and wickedness, characterized him as desti tuto of character, and accused tho President Of everything, from a givat political crimina! to a common scold. Ne'son gave thc Pres': dent's biography in refutation o? tai s? charges an: assertions. Thcsa who, like Nelson, knew ibis President best, sustained thcPre.-i dent. Nelson felt he was ::r:t, addressing Sen ators us politician*, bot as Judges, who would ri.io above prejudice or party, and was conti .lent outside pressure would be indignantly repelled. If he believed conviction a fore g me condition, bumbb; as he was, he wonld scorn io address them. Nels ju titled resolm ions offered ny Johnson and adopted by Congress immediately after the Du!] U?u disusier, declaring the purposes of the war, which ars s'ill unrevealed. To these resolutions Johnson was faithful. Lin coln's policy, after Lee's surn iid. r, was based on these r?solutions, which Johns in faithful ly carried tut. Congres.* claimed powers in thc Reconstruction Acts by implication. The ['resident's powers were more plainly implied. Thc Pr si lent had a right ta Iiis own opinion. II wsty and integrity ol' motive mr.-t Ive pr? niue.! in ?neb ? case. Nelson claimed Con .: ?s hud justified thc Pn'sident's policy in the primary recognition of Virginia. Nels -II argued the judicial character of th* . Senate- and denounced the claims of Managers tint the Senate wa? a law unto itself and c mid convict un common lam ; as dangerous to the country. Senators' oaths showed they were bound by laws. Ile denounced as gross ly improper the Managers' plea that the pe.> plc de.iiand-wi t 'iis conviction and that th? j) ?Mi? pulse beat fitfully while tb??y d?hyed it. A ijourned. WASHINGTON, April l!?.-Nelson spoke all day. Ho kept the Senators and gallerias ..veil seated and interested throughout, atten tion becoming closer us his effort drew to a close. His points were well made, in dome cases stsrtlirg. Groesback speaks tomorrow. The end will not be reached under two weeks. A pointed port of Nebon's speech implicates lour of the Managers in the AHarcla affair which interrupted the relations between the President and Judge Black. WA?III.VOTO.V, April 2?.-In ihe Court after lim j itirti? bad buen read, (.nus:; said that KJ in linds' resolution ordering that the Sen ate's deliberation-i be regularly published was in order. Drake moved an indefinite postponement. Sumner said Unit the proper motion, inde finite postponement Win minuted hy 20 to 27. Sumner submitted a motion that tim se* 'ul Articles proceeded at 12 of the day i aftei argument of Managers and Counsel i clodes. 1 Objection was made und it goes over un- t der thc rules till Monday. i Sumner proped two additional rules-first f that Chase shall ask each Senator how do you c vote and he shall rcplv guilty or not guilty ; ' and, second, that upon conviction it shall be r. thc duty of the presiding officer to order the i convict's removal forthwith. ; Objection hoing made the matter goes over t to Monday. c Several Senators made points that if these C new issues would come into thc Senate an in terminable debate wouW be allowable, post poning the result indefinitely. n Chase ordered tho argument to proceed. tl Thc prosecution not re3pouding Groesbeck o commenced. He argued that tho body he a was addrossing was a court, arguing from the ? 8' Constitution, which permitted neither bills of ' n attainder cor irresponsible tribunals, especial- j di ly mh as wen tort w?to tiwntfta* Us-l cl coin's pis in violation of the Constitution had been ratified by Congress because his motives wero good, lie then proceeded to argue that the first eight articles rested on whether the President had a right to remove Stanton and give Thomas an tid interim appointment. ? He argued that had Lincoln lived and had the Tenure-of Bili been passed in hostility to Lincoln, that Lincoln, under its provisions during his 6ecoud teitn, could, have legally rotnovetfkevcry Cabinet officer appointed* by himself during his first tenn,.- and that Stan ton hud infinitely less claim to the tenure ander Mr. Johnson's temi. Mr. Grocsbeck was suffering from bron chili.; aud adjournment was proposed, but Grocsbeck feared a few days delay would not help him, and asked to bc allowed to proceed, though circumstances compelled him tb make important omissiousiu his argument. The President having consulted the advisers-indi cated by the Constitution was guiiless of crime. h was comparatively useless to urce, the un constitutionality of the act with those who framed it ; but, tyrant-rig i! ts constitutionality he denied the - President's criminality. The President's oath of office required him to maintain the Constitution, minor officers swore to support it. Answering Boutwell that thc Presid mt was bound to execute all laws, Grcesbeck inquired about the Presi dent's duty when the Supreme Court had de clared a law unconstitutional. Groesbeck quoted a large number of precedents, against which he was alone to act, of sixty-seven, claiming there was abundant room for doubt and position on the part of the President, suffiti?nt at least to induce him to resist, with the view of obtaining judicial decision. Groes beck asked whether the President was to be convicted and deposed because he had acted on the interpretation sanctioned by his con stitutional advisers, by the 38:h Congress, by the Supreme Court, and the uniform prac tice of the Government. Evidence showed the President acted in public interest in re moving Stanton. Groesbeck contended the President's acquieeence io tho Tenure of Of fice Bill as loug as possible was a point in the President's favor. As Groesbeck proceeded he recovered his voice and held the floor and galleries spell bound- In concluding he "ex pressed his confidence in the final result, and characterized the President's conviction ra f-'rred to by the managers as rather beacon lights of warning than examples for guidance* In conclusion he pronounced a glowing eulo eism upon Johnson's life, character and ser vices. THE FRIGHTFUL DISASTER ON THE ERIE RAILROAD-FURTHER PARTICULARS-We have already had by telegraph a brief account of the terrible railway accident which occurred last Tuesday night near Port Jervis, on the Erie Railroad. The number of lives lost is variously estimated at from fifteen to more than twenty. A dispatch to the New York papers gives tho following additional particu lars : Thc train to which the accident occurred left Buffalo in charge of conductor Judd, and existed of engine and tender, three sleeping, two first-class ami one second class, two bag gage and one postal car. Thc train proceed e J on time, making the usual -Jtoppages, un til eveuing, when the passengers in the sleep Lng cars retired for the night About three o'clock A. M. Messrs. Ames und Horton, who were in charge of the postal car, saw the bell rope straighten out and break, when Mr. Judd .inmediately remarked to one of the officers that he had lost his rear cars. They ran to tiie platform of thc car, when the four rear cns were seen robing down a. precipice from seventy-five to one hundred feet high. The ,cene of the accident is thirteen miles be yond Port Jervis, on the Delaware division of the load. The sides of the precipice are formed on jagged rock, and in the descent tbe cars were bioken to pieces. At the bottom is a culvert, through which fljws a Ftre?-m, tsinptviug iutO the Delaware. The disa-tcr ivas caused by a broken rail, which threw the rear car immediately in front, and the whole .vere precipitated down the embankment. Conductor Judd and Divi-oa Superintendent Douglass were slightly injured. Thc cars in going over the embankment turned several times before the bottom was reached, aud .vere nearly demolished. The sleeping car was co;,;UiiH-d.;iy..il^-Jl?,A,,w?r--"nr'rri7-?T f the latter could not* be recognized. Seven persons were burned to death and six others .ure killed by coming ia contact with the jagged rocksJ&c. The wounded persons were placed on tl?rain and brought lo Port Jer vis, which place was reached at nine this mor..ing. Several surgeons were immediate ly summoned and everything was done to al k-viate the sufferings of the injured. The bodies of the killed were left on the ground The catastrophe ol course took place, in the darkuCSS of the night, and the confusion and terror were appalling, and the horror was greatly increased by the agonizing shrieks aud groaus of the wounded and dying. HOMICIDE IX BARNWELL.-A man in the lower part of Barnwell District, about the Ueaufort linc,named Yoemans,killed another named Williams, last week. You utans,'i tap pears, lost some hogs, a short time since, and being of a .superstitious nature, waited upon a fortune teller ir; tho neighborhood, who in formed bim that this man, Williams, had stole them. On thc word of the fortune teller, he -et out f Jr Williams, and ou meeting him tolJ him that his hogs were missing, and that he believed he (WilliaiA), had stolen them. Per haps the lie wai given. The charge wa?, how ever, a serious one, and so | revolting that Will laois knocked him down, and as we are inform. ?I gave him a severe whipping. IK ?ot up and told Williams that he had whippi d him, but that he still believed he stole his hogs. He was again whipped, but still be lieved Williams had c< mniitcd the theft. The accused sprung on him thc third lime, a* we are informed, when Youmaus drew a knife and slabbed him. causing his death in a short while. Williams has always borne a good character, and is said to bo a quiet, inoffen <ive man.-Barnwell Sentinel, \xih. From Ilichinond. RICHMOND, April 23, p. m.-Ex-Governor Peirpont yesterday preferred charges to Gen ..ral Grant against General Schofield, eharg ing him with setting aside laws of Virginia uni of Congress for the purpose of enabling ex-Confederates, who could not take the test oath to occupy valuable oili.-cs in the State ; and, further, that Schofield's appointments have tended to discourage the Union cause iu Virginia. RICHMOND. April 24, p. m.-General Soho field issued an order ihn morning, that Con gress having made DO appropri?tioa to defray the expense of election in Virginia, for rat? Sealion or rejection of the Constitution, the j I slection will not* take place until June the 22d, unle-s Congress should make an appro priation before that time.

The seven Impeachment Managers on one side and the President's lawyers on the other, are still delving and bawling in the great trial. For some time post, all tho developments have been in favor of the President ; and from present appearances ' it would seem that this trial ought to result in the conviction of the impeachers instead of tho im peached. Day by ?ay tho most corrupt, shame less and rascally practices on tho part of the Im peachment Managers are disclosed. They have left nothing undone to falsify evidence, and to briug all manners of dishonest iniluences to bear upon doubtful Senators. Their speeches are coarse, violent and discourteous in the last degree. Thu President's counsel, on tho other hand, are alway i calm, crurteous and dignified. Their spoeches arc spic ndid specimens of ?loquence and legal loro. Thv last two speeches were those of Boutv i, of Ma.-8ocbu3etts, on tho part of the House, and Nelfon of East Tennessee, on the part of the President. The' trial, it is thought, will bo concluded in about ten days froniThis time. Very many people are confident that the President will be cleared and vindicated. We dare not even hope it. Every thing indicates that tho Uu'tcd States Government is about "gone up." There has really been no Constitutional Government at Washington since the Southern members of Congress withdrew in 1361. Tha'. act broke up tbe Government, and the efforts of tho Northern members to form a new one have, fr?m that day until this, proved hourly more fu tile and disastrous.

As yet, of course no absolute annonnccment of the result in either Statu can bo made. In North Carolina, the returns, so far, indicate that the negro Consti tution has been ratified, and that the Legislature will be about equally divided between the Radi cals and Conservatives. This should not have been the case in North Carolina, for in the regis tration the whites of the State were thirty odd in majority. , And in Lousiana, too, it is -retty well given np that the Constitution has been ratified and the Radical State oilier- ' jeted. In Georgia the cutest has been a hot and close one, and so flattering are tho reports and dispatches from all quarters of the State, that we still harbor the hope that Gordon and the Demo crats will, in thc end, prove triumphant..

The Next Presidency-The Parties and Their Candidates. The really vital political question for nil par President. Politicians rage on every topic, and assail one another each after his own peculiar frenzy, and St ito canvasses are carried on and fought out apparently on local issui-s; but under neath all-?haping.dirccting and controlling all ?9S til? paramount quotion ?vf the Presidency. . ll the a*toniching vagaries and extravagances into which the politicians aro running-all thc unexplained pieces of vindictiveness at this or tlut public roan-havo reference to this topic and express only the hopes or fears of one or another faction in regard to rome candidate. The Presi dency is now the clue that runs through all thc labyrinthine mazes of political intrigue, though this fftct will not be fully developed before the meeting uf the Nominating Conventions iu Chi cago and New York. The Republican Nomina ting Convention meets in Chicago in the course of the coming month. Tho Democratic Nomina ting Convention moets in Now?Y>rk on thc 4ih of July Some time ugo thc (struggle for the Presidency promised to he a triangular fight botwecn three great factions-the democrats with their candi .late, and the republicans, devided into radical? and conservatives, with a candidate fjr ench di vision. But, unfortunately for thu Democrats and for tho South, the Republicana of nil shader and colors have become thoroughly united upon (icu. Giant. Chief Justice Chase, lirait Butler, Spanker Colfax, und ull thc other Rudical upi rurit?, have been quietly run off thc track by thc superior tactics of tho great military hero; and the star of the latter gentleman is now undispu tcdly in tho ascendant. Thcro is nt present no division among the Radicals, un J not a doubt remain.' but that Grant will be the unopposed noiuinco of thc Chicago Convention. Hu will bi llie candidate of both the conservative and rad.' cal niifs)il of thc republican party, and we fear very much that he will prove tho ioevi ablo man. The Democrats ton, it seems, are determined to unite harmoniously upon ono and the same man. In choosing their candidate, they will in nil probability bo coinpollod to look moro to availability than to statesmanship or clements of character. The three men now most prominently before the Democracy of the country, in this con section, are Pendleton, tho great Ohio Dumocrat, Kx Gov. Seymour of Now York, und Gen. Han sock. Pendleton, tho favorito of the West, and Seymour, thc favorite of ?he East, are both Scutlcmen, 3tute*mui and Democrats, whose Equals aro probably not now to be fouud in thc Union. With tho noble und manly record of Sen. Hancock all are familiar. But other mon ilso are spoken of as candidatos of the Demo :ratic party; among them, Judge Field of the Supreme Court, Gen. Sherman, the devastator of the South, and Andrew Johnson, now President if these United States. From this time until thc election in the fall, wc .halt sue the struggle between thu two parties de veloping itsulf m or J opotily and raging moro ?creely. God speed the Democrats. Let us up ?old their bauds iu every way possible, for in their ucce.'s now lies thc solo remaining kopo of the ' south. n C ls They Have Done . .fco You, Do Ye ...o Them ! In our advertising columns, will be found an dvcrtiscment from Poris Simkins, the young bar er (odored) who is so well known and well bought of in our town and vicinity. But it is ot his tonsorial business that Puris advertises, t is his Shoo Shop. For some mouths past, he as been conducting a Shoo Shop; and his work ?en are colored artisans who understand their u;?ness thoroughly.

From our esteetnod frieud, Dr. W. D. JKSXINCS, who has lately urrired in our town from Galves ton, and whom his many friends ure glad to once moro thoko by thc hand, wo acknowledge tho rcooipt of a largo hatch of late South-Weslorn Papers. One ot' thc Greatest linds to bc Reached? Though the fact has not yet been officially an nounced, still there is no doubt that the new P.adi cal Constitution for South Carolina hos been rati fied by an immense majority of rotes; and that, for a certain time, we will have to live undef it and abido by ita laws. This is terriblo indeed. Bat the case is not hopeless yet. So long as we have land, and strength to work it-we are not totally ruined. And now, instead of people moaning and groaning uselessly over our politi cal subjection, let thom determine to endure it in calm silence, and go all tho harder to work. Hard work, among other blessings, brings as forgetful ness of many troubles. South Carolina will one day bo disenthralled,' and, looking to that day, all her sons should be working to insare her pros perity. And one of the greatest onJs to bu reached in order to insure this prosperity is, thc production at home of all that tho population of the State consumes or uses. At all events we should ap proach this end as nearly as possible. "When we shall bo able to retain at home nearly all the money wo now send abroad for tin necessaries of life, we shall begin to become a wealthy people, and not before. It matters not bow much money we make by our cotton and othei productions, we shall always be a poor people, pressed for monoy, without tho pecuniary strength to develop the agricultural resources of the State, and push for ward that great system of internal improvement which ii necessary to meet its wants, so long as we are compelled to send the bulk of that money abroad to pay for what we consume and use. So long as we send all this money abroad, we shall never possess and enjoy half the wealth to which we aro entitled. We can, and we should, produce our own corn, meat, lard, butter, flour, hay, cabbages, potatoes, fruits, horses, shoep, leather, shoes, agricultural implements, cotton and woolen cloths, and mo6t of the other things for which wo are now depen dent upon other sections and other countries. And we should, as rapidly as possible, establish manu factories of every sort, so that we may become almost entirely self-sustaining. When tho money wo make skull remain in oar own hands, then we can build Railroads, Manufactories, Schools, Churches, Towns, Cities, ond beautiful Homes, to our hearts' content. This is tho groat end to be reached, aad every man should help himself and tho State to reach it ns soon os possible. -.?. Newspapers, &c. " Thoa Shalt Love thy Neighbor as Thyself."

PARKS, j g , , Dr. J.J. CARTLEDGE, j ? The lliot iu Augusta. From the Conttitutionaliil of Friday. Our city was intensely excited yesterday utternoon, and but fur the cool courage and undoubted bearing of Mr. Jno. A. Christian and the patience and self-possession of the whites, there would have been a scene of bloodshed that might have sufficed the insati able thirst of the rankest Radical in our midst. The day had passed off quietly up to about 5 o'clock, at which time there were about three hundred negroes and about seventy-five whites in tho Court Douse yard, crowding around the step?, waiting the closing of the polls, all peaceable and orderly. About this time the military Mayor of this unfortunate city-the man appointed by Gen. Pope as chief conser vator of the peace-came out of the Hall and, .standing in the portico, flourishing a roll of greenbacks, offered to bet one thousand dol lars that Bullock was elected. Thia brag, from the chief Loyal Leaguer, enthused the negroes, who cheered lustily. The whius then cheered fur Gordon aDd others. One irreverent individual cried out : ,! You d-d pei juted son of a b-, you had bi* ter pay off your police with that money." From this time to the closing of the polls there was con? lerablc chafing. When the polls mia dosrkJkuuU, we Jeaj^eiL irfvWM? given by Mr. Christian aud Major Crump to the white citizens present. Thia last named gentleman had just left the Court Yard in company with Mr. G. A. Suead, nilen the row commenced. A general fight wruid Lavo eusucd, but for the reasons stated ?L'SVC. The negroes bran dished their clubs and threw showers of brick1; the whites standing firm and cool. Soon, at tbe Huggestiori of Major Crump, the military squad was put iu motion, and thc bayonets dispersed the negroes, injuring several, and we hear running uue entirely through. The officer in command very wisely ordered his troops not to fire. About seven o'clock another serious disturb ance occurred in Bread street, occasioned by a mulatto, who is said to have assaulted a young gentleman who i*, and Las been for years, a cripple. Invucdii e y uf.er tl i ? tlc same m-gro struck a lady-the wife of an em inent ?.ur^eon of this city-felling her to the ?round. There were Several crowds of peo ple on thc streets talking over thc incidente of the riot at the City Hall, aud chafe was made by several persons for the offending ne- j ?jro, while a couple of gentlemen ruiscd the lady from thc sidewalk and conveyed her into the store of Mr. AV. C.Jones. By this lime tberc had collected in the vicinity of Ilans bergcr's corner about two hundred people. Several pistol .?hots were fired, one of which took effect in the thigh of the fleeing negro Deputy Sheriff Crump, at great personal risk, succeeded in arresting the negro and protec ting him from the rage of the incensed multi tude. A number of prominent citizens ar rived at this juncture and seconded Maj ir Crump in the preservation of the peace. They afterwards assisted two policemen in getting tho negro to t hie gua rd-house. The negro was very much sxcitvd aud did not seem to real ize that he was amon?; his (riends. We leam that he is sui joel to fits of lunney, and this may account for his strange demeanor. His name is Alfred, and was formerly the slave of j Mr. J. E. McDonald, of Summerhill, S. C., but lins recently been in the employ of Mr. Wheelock, of this city. His wound is not se rious. Just as the negro wa? started to the guard house ns above slited, some ot her negro threw a billet of wood in a crowd of whites, when a few more volleys were fired without any re sult. We shall not moralize on lin's affair. There were several well disposed colored poopli who endeavored to persuade their race to quit the streets. Theie-men also witnessed the successful eff iris of the gentlemen refer red to in saving the mulatto. Alfred. The Chronicle d'- Sentiml, noticing the Riot, says : Thc whole blame of this unfortunate and Jisgraceful affair re^ts upon the perjured wretch who, by Pope's order, is acting Mayor af this city. The cowardly miscreant having aroused the passion of his black crew of infu. .iated Hyenas and incited them to bring on a collision, coward like failed to appear at the ?cene of the disturbance, or to use, so far ss r fro have been uble to learn, the slightest ex- ? .rtion to quell the outbreak. I ( The people of this city know who is respon- c 'ible for this outrage. The eridence of Blodg- ; itt's guilt is clear and damning. His organ tere had announced but two days since that he " lints were drawu between the races," Jid had, in ar, incendiary and infamous arti lle, attempted to oucourago tho poor negroes o act upon his proposition that peace could lot bc preserved between the two races. The I S onflict yesterday was but the culmination of j ti be bitter feeling engendered by these insidi us and treacherous teachings. The lines have been drawn-we accept tho ?sue. The hincks, not content with voting a solid phalanx against the ?bites, have goue | 5 irther in their mad ?nd reckless career, and ivitetl a resort to force. In such a conflict Je issue will not be doubtful. We exhort IQ white people to ?old themselves wit? pi onco. Every good citizen should exert him ?lf to prevent, if possible, a recurreuce of | ie sickening scenes of yesterday. The poor cgrocs are tho dupes of the wicked white retches who arc urging them on to ruin. - i Colonel Johu Forsyth, editor of the Mobile cgitter, writes from Washington that tho choice ? the Democratic Convention for President viii ?t ? ?lier ?piase? ?? fiwoosJu ST GLAS? -o KENNET ? r o na n1 AND DBA: READY mm AN Gents' Purni* 238 Broad ?
