The apathy of the people about
impeachment has been variously the
pretext for comment by writers whom
the incidents of the subject have attracted
more than the subject itself.
This indiferenee arises from a eontempt
for the character of the prose?
cutors and their charges; the cop?
viction of the partisan prejudgment
of the Senatorial tribunal and the
indisposition of the sovereigns to become
excited over a shameless washing
of the private linen in public by
the wrangling members of a Radical
administration. The Tribune de
.clares the "Democratic party have
given up the President in advance,"
The Democratic party cannot "give
up" a cause whidi they have \evcr
taken up with them. Impeachment
is a quarrel by and within the Republican
party. A Presidtjnt elected
by Republican votes is itnpeache^l for
|| violation of a Republican l?w. in the
attempted removal of a Republican
officer. He is itnpcachod by Rt'i.mb1ican
Representatives, prosecuted by
Republican Managers, mainly <jeH
B fended by Republican counsel, and,
B if deposed, will be removed by ReV*
publican votes, as well as succeeded
V by a Republican Senator.
The Republican cast.of Mr. JohnWR.
..son's administration can, be .deter.-,
W mined from the agents he lias appointed
to carry out his acts. Our revenue
service at home and our diplomatic
appointees abroad fail to reveal in
any prominent position**, if any position
at all, other than Republican
incumbents.
At London, Pekin, Berlin, Paris,
{ Lisbon, St. Petersburg, the Hague,
^ and elsewhere at lesser places, the
policy of the administration has sent
the proteges or continued the appointees
of the late Mr. Lincoln,
'"he very cabinet of the President
does not contain a statesman who did
not ardently support the Republican
party at the last Presidential eloction
. and as ardently oppose the candi*
dates and the platform of the Dernocvatic
party who are now gratuitously
barged with deserting a cause they
have never made their own.
The real position of the Democratic
party in this impeachment business
entirely definable, and their preL
6 rnt attitude consists thoroughly with
L their traditions and their history.
F An illustration will bring the matter
j ito plain light at once. If a husband
4 id his wife have a bitter quarrel, in
k "which the latter is unjustly treated,
L that is no reason why every man who
chivalrously espouses her cause
f should be compelled to espouse the
woman too, as a consequence. Her
r advocates and herself would be led
to exclaim, even with no Utah recollections
of Artemus Ward, "This is
too much!" Every reuresser of -injured
innocence could as logically be
'l|old accopntaWe for the facts wjijeh
brought tfic innpcqnpp into injury.
Cuch a course would makb champions
chary, to say the leastThe
Preside it is accountable to
|he Senate. No demonstration out
side that body can help him. Only
such few Democrats as are in the
Senate can be of direct assistance to
the arraigned Executive. While the
action of these Democrats is uncquiv[
heal, the reasons of that action must
'not he confounded. They behold a
1? nT\nK1!f?.in Prneolnnt. tried before
v , ihetn and tlieir preponderating Hej
publican colleagues and his conviction,
and the Republican charges on
which this conviotion is sought, they
| atrenuously oppose. But they do
F / pwt oppos^ these isspes because tjieir
Republican" colleagues support them,
1* j.or do they advocate the President^
r : <sc ' because he Jieads a section oi
ie warring Republican forces. Party

have received, and in the event of
the President's acquittal will receive,
quite as little from Mr. Johnson as
1 they could reasonably expect from j
Mr. Wade. They rise to the plane
' of perfect impartiality where the air
of influence is too rare to he breathed.
The support of the President is
intrinsically the support of the Con
stitution struck at through him. It
is the advooacy of the equality of the
p co-ordinate branches of the Government,
whereof the integrity of the
11 executive department is menaced in
the person of the ruler now discharging
its duties. Thus the support of the
President is simply the snpport of u
the system of Government of which j'
, the President is a constitutional ele--; <
ment, indeed it is the Presidency and '
not the President that cl";ms and
receives their defence. Thus, on i
grounds of duty and of statesman* j <
ship, r.o resource is allowed the Dem- j ]
erratic party but to stand up for the [1
< xt'cufiveoffice in its rights under the i
Constitution which are assailed hy ! j
this impeachment. To be sure, they
show wise foreknow!, dge of the future <
in avoidi g the infamy which will <
attach to every man actively and t
affirmatively connected with this i
prosecution. To hp sure, they show j
magnanimity in their efforts to shield i
si noliti(?:il advers-sirv from his furioUS 1
* r -foes,
who .-ire of his own house- I
hold. Rut these creditable iittri- t
butes only incidentally grow out of {
the case, and pertain more to the
character of the defenders than they
do to the direct issues of the controversy.
j
Hence, as the Democratic r a'fy {
did iior make or minister to this Re- ,
! pubiicaTi quarrel which h*as eulmitia- {
ted in a Republican impeachment of v
a Republican President, tlie dojrrce v
of unconcern with which the formal (

A Third Political Party Pro- 1

governor Pratt, of Maryland, said
that acquittal would follow, and be- n
fore the week was out the country y

change of Cabinet. It has since
transpired that the President has .*1

Renublieans immediately after Vc

carry out the reconstruction measures
of Congress. Senator Henderson h
last night stated fliis agreement to be tl
a fact, and it is believed by shrewd
judges to be one of t}je principal ele- P

power may be given to Mr. Chase's n
party to make it formidable, and to *
