Fair trials acd impartial verdicts by

national disgrace that in May, 1868, the
Senate of the United States was not free
to render its verdict, and Republican
Senators, who believed tbe President in

lained as earnestly in fail vetoei by the
Democrati at Johmon hat been in thit
impeachment trial He was doing their
work and they etrengtbened bit bands.
Ttfe re.ult was, in the triumph of Tyler,
such a crippling of the Whig party tha',
in 1844, with Henry Clay himself as itt
standard-bearer, they were defeated by
Polk, a Democratic obscurity from Ten
nessee. Tyler, early in the field, was
a candidate on the lookrot for the
Democratic nomination. There waa,
in fact, simultaneously with the
gathering of the Democratic nomi
nating convention in Baltimore, a
convention hard by of the independent
Tyler party by way of a fl ank movement ;
but it was utterly ignored over the way,
and it ended in the surrender of Tyler
to the Democratic nomination oi rou.
Tyler, in short, had so far identified him
self with tbe Democratic cause that, next
to his own nomination, he desired the de
feat of the Whig candidate; and thit it
now the attitude of Johnson towards the
radicalised Republican party. The
Democratic managers thoroughly under
stand it, and to, without the remotest
idea of nominating Mr. Johnson, tby are
in any event, at against General Grant,
confident of fait support
Bennet, like an expert matchmaker,
however, as usual, hat a new tiring to
hii bow. He dropi Grant as a heavy
and not very Taluable weight to carry,
and just now thinks Chase it the coming
man. Chase it sopposed to be honest
eoongh to stand with Fewenden and
Grimes, and to do what no passable
county court judge could help doing with
decency try the impeachment case ac
..nrdin to' tbe law and tbe testimony.
So he ii tbe giant of the occasion of
course, and must be nominated, if a bet
ter man should not turn op before that
happens. Besides Chaie it tbe wonder
ful financier, whose head adorni every
greenback, and whose parse wai better
than Grant's iword in carrying on tbe
war. Indeed, be hai come to be such
Hercules, that, whether the President it
acquitted or convicted, he will be elected
at the people't man. Well, we ahall
know more when we learn more.
State CoaveatiWB.
We noblish to-davthe call of the Dem
ocratic Central Committee of Tennessee
for a convention to be held at Nashville
on the 9th of June- Delegate! ibould be
chosen through county conventions, for
which Durnose it will be necessary to hold
primary meetings in the several counties
at a day sufficiently early to assure rep
resentation. Tnose opposed to the Kid
ical policy are called upon to partici
pate, and we doubt not all will do io
freely. All old party lines are properly
isnored. and every white man invited to
the enjoyment of a political right, which
none but the Radical party in this coun
try ever before presumed to deny. We
are equally pleased with the call of tbe
committee, and with the character oi
that call. Nor do we regard it as having
been postponed too long. We have
urged a convention heretofore, not
ai an " exhibition of impatience" at
(he delay, as suggested by tbe
fJnioit and DUpatah, with reference
to the' previous importunitis of some
friends of the measure, but rather be
cause of seeming opposition, to se proper
a thing, became a doubt tad grown up
whether tbe call would be made at all,
and because we knew it would take all
tbe time which hai thus far beea con
sumed in paving the wsy to the accom-
rjliahmenL The same reasons which led
the committee to wait, advise, and " can
vass the sentiment of tbe people, bad
led us to doubt whether that "concur
rent opinion" on which the Committee
hai now acted really existed, as it should,
or whether it must be the fruit of discoi
eion. Hence, so far al we were con
cerned, and without intending any cen
sure of the committee, we bare advo
cated what we thought right, and are
pleased to know tbat onr fears and dis
trust were unfounded. With reference
to the announcement of the committee,
the Futon and Vtipatch layi:
The call it properly directed to all who
oppose the party in power. It ii catho
lic and comprehensive. It ignores tbe
party divisions of former times, and dif
ferences of opinion during the recent
war. It is intended to embrace Whigs
and Democrats alike, Union men and
Confederates. The Convention ia ex
pected to be composed entirely of white
men, who will represent the political

The Hew Conspiracy.
The devilish ingenuity of the Radical
leaders parses human understanding.
Tbe latest development of their diabolism
it contained in tbe dispatch published
yesterday from Washington, announcing
tbat in the event of tbe conviction of the
President immediate steps would be
tken for tbe arrest and trial of Ribert
E. Lee for treason. Tbe object of this
movement, it is stated, is to involve Gen.
Grant in difficulties on the subject of
Gen. Lee't parole extended to bim by
Gen. Grant in turrender, which wilt ope
rate against him in the Chicago Conven
tion, and perbapt prevent his nomina
tion. It is known that Gen. Grant con
siders bimseif in honor bound by tbe
terms of that surrender, and that ai an
officer and a gentleman he feeli that he
must stand ai tbe protection of those
with whom be made terms to procure the
turrender. Thit, of course, is the view
wbicb every honorable man must take of
the tubject If wai provided in the terms
of capitulation, tbat the Confederates
who surrendered should retire to their
respective home', and to long as they
acted the part of peaceable and quiet
citizens, they should be free from inter
ruption and arrest Gen. Lee. hat done
this. There baa not been a whisper
against bit conduct tince the close of the
war, and to arrest him now would be a
groit violation of the termt npon which
be surrendered, which Gen. Grant, if he
has any regard for hit reputation as a
soldier, will be bound to resent. This is
what the conspirators hope and what
they design. They wish to force him
into tome expressions of favor toward
Gen. Lee which they can use wilb the
extreme Radicals to hit prejudice. That
Gen. GranC"will resent tbe proceedings
referred to if any such are inaugurated
we do not doubt If he does not, he will
be forever disgraced. But whether any
capital will be manufactured against bim
out of that faot remains of be sen. We
have too rouoh oonfidence in the good
sense of the Americon people to believe

The Kovemini for Hancock.
From the N. T. Citiien, May 2.
Ibe National Central Committee ap
pointed by tbe Convention of Loyal Sol
diers and Sailors, held at Cleveland in
the fall of 18S6, is now in session at Fifth
Avenueflotel in thit city, for the purpose
of urging tbe gentlemen who are in con
trol of the regular Democratic machinery
cf the country to repair the fatal error
by which the naeembling of our National
Cooventioo hat been postponed to tbe
4 lb of next July. Among the members
present and most aolive in this good
work, are Gene. Steedman, Gordon Gran
r'r, Frank P. Blair, Henry W. Slocum,
Kilhy Smith, Genrge P. Este, Alexander
McU MoCook, Henry E. Daviee, jr., Col.
Frank G. Noy, and many otbert of
equal weight. Their first object it to se
cure the highest interest of th Conserva
tive cause; and incidentally to this, or
rather as tbe belt meant by which, in
thdr judgment, tuccest can be accured
they are bringing forward the name of
Mijor General Winficld Scott Hancock,
a ihat of lb most popular and available
leader, under whose banner this-laet bat
tle for constitutional liberty may best be
fougbt It would be premature, at pre
sent to "tat wbat considerations they
ar urging, with whom they are consult
ing, or wbat are the proepc;, thus far,
of heir finding acceptanc for thir views.
This fact, however, must be cbvlou.
