The Impeachment Trial·
In another column we give the proceed- '
inga of the Impearbmrnt trial.on SaturJay,
when a vote on tin.· llih article. resulted in
tbr President'· acquittal. It was undoubt
edly a test vote of tbe whole matter, and
though the result was foreshadowed some
what by lb· rumors of the previous week,
it ie very apparent lhat tbe announcement
of tbe vote created intenae feeltng in the
public mind. It i· safe to »ay that the Re
publican party in Main?, as well as in ibe
whole country, were a unit in regard to ibe
guilt of tbe accused.and demande 1 his con
viction. The i»»uc between the people and
President was not a personal one. They
arraigned the Executive for graxping ex
traordinary and ungtanted pow-rs in «he
government—for dangeroua usurpations in
claiming the right to decide for him·· If a·
to ihe constitutionality of laws, and bj his
power of removal, to tarry his vote into
effect, over the two thirds vote of Contrées.
Tbe contest is really one between r»pul>
li-.-anism and imperialism, and Mr. John·
•'■η. as an individual, finks into in-igni
ficance. And in looking at the icsult. it i*
α ϊ... ι» A .L- · ■·
pecta Impeachment, merely as an at
tempt to get τΜ of Andrew John»on a«
Pieiidcnt, is a lailure: but Impeachment. '
as the highlit judicial proceeding, under
our Constitution, to test the greatest prin- '
ciples of our Government. is far Ironi a
failure—for thongh in the one case it re
quired a two thirds vote to set aside the
President, end one vote wa« lacking, which
made it a failure, in the other. only a
majoriiy vote was required.nnd a large ma
jority was obtained. President John«on,
tho' technically acquitted of a high misde
meanor, which would have justified cxpal- '
■ ion from cfEce, has been condemned, bv
the voice ol the highest hranrli of the Gov-,
ernmtnt, «sitting in the capacity of Jurors,
under the solemnity of an oath, after a'
lenglby trial, conducted in a (air and im
partial manner, and with all the rights which
he euold claim under the constitution, trna.
ciously claimed liy the aMe?t counsel in hi*
behalf· The principle lor which Congress
and the |>eople have contended, has been
▼indicated—so that, in our view, the pro
ceedings for Irupeacbmctit are not without
benefit, and are not to be denounced as a
partisan measure,winch ha« proved a failure.
Nor is the res tit to be regarded as of any
great political significance, in the Campaign
row opening upon us. The removal from
otlice of President Johnson was not neces
anry to the aucceas ol the Republican paitr ;
an acqu'ttal do .«a not di tract tbe partv
— it may galvanize tbe democracy into re
newed lile, which will only a«'rvc as an in
centive to exertion on our part It is true
that the course ol the aeven Republican Sen
ator· who so sadly disappointed their Irienda
and conatituenta, by voting ior acquittal,
produces some hard feelinga, and so n~ vi.
tuperative language mat l>e used .wine bit*
terneas may be shown, and possibly som-j·
body may be hurt—but the numetical loas
to tbe party will be small.
It would be puerile, it would I* mean,
and grossly unjust to impugn the motives of
•nc-h men—men who have l>e»n pioneerr. in
the cause of freedom, and statesmen of ac
knowledged ability, unless grounds for sus
picion of tbe punty ol tt»eir motives ap
pear. We must accord to lb« m ain«eriiy,
in their course, until something arisea to
