How sweetly fall those simple words Upon tho hutnttn heart, When friends long bound by strongest tics Aro doomed by fute to part. You sadly press tho hand of thoso Who thus in lovo caress you, And soul responsive bents to sul, In breathing out "Uod bless you." "God Mess you," ah ! long months ago I heard tho mournful phrasg, When one whom I in childhood loved Went from my dreamy gaze. Now blinding tears full thick rnd fast I mourn my long lout trcasuro, While echoes of the beait bring back The farewell prayer, "God bless you." Tho mother sending forth her boy To scenes untried and new, Lij not a studied, stately speech, Nor murmurs ont "adieu." Fho sadly says, between her sobs, 'Whene'er iniitfurtur.es prcf s you, Como to thy mother, boy, cmo buck," Then sadly sighs, "God bi ss you." "God bless you," moro of expressed Than volume without number. Reveal wo thus our trat in him, Whose eyelids never slumber, I tuk in parting no lung Dprch, Drawled out in studied nieatm, I only ak the dear old word, Fo .weft so sad "God bless yrui." Ilrlllh Impeach in cut. The New York TriLune a year ao, gave an article upmi the history of im peachments in Enghml, in this country which will be read with groat iutcrcat as beiug appropriate to these troubled uuJ startling times : All persons, whether peer or cuaimor.- crs, maj, in Great Britain, bo impeachcl for any crime or offences whatever. J he earliest iustauce of parliamentary im peachment occured in loTiJ, during the reign of Edward III., when the Cham berlain, Lord Latimer, together with sev eral other official.1, were accused by the Commons of exportation and malversa tion of the public money, and was de posed from his pUce. When llichard II., was compelled to resign his throne to Henry of Lancaster, the form of an im pcachmcnt was gone through before they pronounced their sovereign deposed. Undnr the Tudor princes the right of im peachment fell into diue ; but the fhameles corruption which characterized ihc rein of James I eausod it revival and it was used with ;rcat energy by the commons, both as an instrument of popu lar power and as a int-atis bir the further ante of public justice. The impeach ment of Lord Chancellor moon during this reign, for receiving bribes from suit ors in hi court, is one of the saddest in cidents in tho history of literature. The trreat philosopher and htatesman was charged by the commons with bribery and corruption m twenty-two w?anecs himself, and with allowing acts of brib ery and corruption in his officers. Utter ly unmanned by the accusation, he took to his bed, confessed his guilt, and beg ged for tncrcv. Guilty ho was, if judged by the purer standard ot a later age; yet guilty only of conforming the judicial customs or his own time, lie was cn- tenced to pay a fine of 40,000, to be imprisoned during the royal pleasure, and to be incapacitated for lifo from coming within verge of the court, sitting in Par liament, or holding; office. 1 hough the fine and imprisonment were remitted, the disgrace was more than the Chauccllor could bear, and, after five years, he died brokenhearted. The case of Dacon was only one of sev eral which tho same Parliament pursued and punished. Sir Giles Mompesson, Sir Francis Mitchell, Bennett, Judge of Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Field, Bishop of Landaff and Yalverton, the Attorney-General were all prosecuted within a few month?, and a barrister named Floyd, for no more serious offence than rejoicing at the expulsion of the Palatine from Prague, was sentenced to bo degra ded ftom tho estate of a gentleman and declared infamous, to stand in tho pil lory, to bo fined 5,000, to be imprisoned for life, and to be whipped at the ca-t's tail. The whipping, however, was after ward remitted. Three years later, in 1G24, tho Lord Treasurer, Middlesex, having been impeached, through the in fluence of Buckingham, of bribery, op pression, and neglect of duty, was com demned to pay a fine of 50,000, and to be imprisoned during pleasure, and for ever excluded from Parliament and the verge of the Court. But when the me morable conflict between the King and Parliament, ending in the Revolution and Protectorate, broke out in the next reign, tho impeachment of Buckingham him self was a subject of long and angry con troversy. Tho protection of Charles I., who went to tho length of dissolving Par liament in order to save his favorite, could not have shielded the Duke long from tho vengeange of the Commons ; but his career was cut short by the. knife of an assassin. ' The power of impeachment now be came, in the hands of tho popular party led by Pym and Hampden, a weapon of tremendous power, and they used it with out mercy. On tho 11th of November 1640, tho House of Commons debated with closed doors, and when these were op ened, a majority of the members, with Pym at their head, proceeded to the bar. ot the Lords and impeached Stafford, the most obnoxious of the royal ministers, of high treason. The trial took place in West minister Hall the following March. Next to tho trial of Warren Hastings, it was probably tho most remarkable impeach ment case in English history. The Com mons sat on elevated benches on each side of the Lords. The King and Queen oc cupied private boxes' behind tho throne, hoping vainly that their presence would apt as a check upon the forwardness of tho witnesses and tli3 violence of the managers. A gallery was erected for tho ladicf, who paid high prices for admin sion. Tho trial lasted thirteen days. The spectators used to como as early as five in tho morning. By cvcn tho Hall was full. Tho proceedings began at nine, and were often prolonged till two, three, or four o'clock in the morning without intermis sion. When tho prisoner was brought in, ho mado thrco obeisances to the Lord High Stmvard, pnd then knelt at the bar. Tho managers, thirteen in number, opened the proceedings with a speech rel ative to some particular charge. Their witnesses were examined and cross-examined, and tho Court then adjourned for half an hour, to allow .Stafford an oppor tunity of conferring with his counsel. Afterward the Earl Hpoko and produced witnesses for his defense, and the mana gers upoke to evidence. The prisoner was then remanded to the Tower. As the trial went on it became evident that the number of Stafford's friends increased. Though modern research has eh wn that he was guilty of the offences with which he was charged, that fact was certainly not made out at tho trial. The Commons abandoned tho impeachment and intro duced into their own body a bill of at tainder, charging Stafford with an at. tempt to subvert the liberties of the coun try. Convicted and feentenccd to death, he met his fate with magnificent calmness and dignity, and has doubtless received a more lenient judgment from posterity than if his fato had been lcs cruel aud his prosecutors more merciful. When Stafford wa lad out to execu tion, ho knelt before the window of a cell which he ha 1 to pxw, and begged the bless ing of Arch! hhop Laud, who was there imprisoned on charges simihr to thoc for which the Earl himelf was to suffer. Laud was impeached, aud, after a year and a quarter was brought to trial. The cau!e was prolonged fcix tn mth, and then terminated just as Stafford' had done. I he Common, despairing of a conviction before tbe Tpper Hou-'C, brought iu a bilj of attainder, and the Archbishop was be- heasJe'J. Impeachment, indeed, from thin time forth, ci-iii t have ne, with a very few i.xeeji !ion, tcliou, irritating, nnd expensive fail urr. t'barl I. im j.--.t !i'-1 the h ad-r of the Parliamentary party ; but hi action was cb arly unconstitutional, and nothing came of it. While th civil war wan raiiig, the Common itujachei the (Jfueen Invau? fthe hal jome-1 t Iiarh1 with a body of troops. Tlii matter wan never pruecute"l. The trial of Cliarlc I. wa not hv nroco of iumcach ment th JjorJ. in deed, refuted ti have anything ti do with it, hut the Common fmtel i!;mclvc fur the orrnio into n high cvurt of juiiiee. Lord Clarendon wa impeabeil of hih treason in the reign of thane II,, v.i'l went into voluntnty exile. L r l Arlington and l)anly were impeached in the fame reign, awl the prosecution failed. But during the insane period of Oat e' "Po pith Plot," the venerable Yicount StaC'ird was placed nt tho Lar of the liouteof Lira, cnargt-i witu complicity in tnat imaginary fciuutc, hivI niteranerenday' trial wan con victed and executed. Hi death had an effect very different from what his prosecutors de sired, run! proha'j'y did more than any other thing ti arouse the nation from it bloody dream of plot and conspiracy. Indeed, the tendency of impeachment in modern time ha almost always been to raise tho prisoner to the dignity of martyrdom, and benefit tho cause for which ho suffers. Tho famou trial of Dr. .Sacheverell, in the reign of Queen Anne, i a striking instance in point. This man, a preacher who "joscsed littlo of re ligion, virtu?, learning or good ene," was impeached in IilO on account of two ser mon, in which he denounced tho act of toler ation, and inculcated lngh lory principles of passive obedience, thus condemning by im plication tho revolution ot IWJ. Jiurmc tho trial public paion became inflamed to an almost ludicrousextcnt; the sermons were printed and sold tn incredible numbers, and the populace made tho accused the hero of the hour. Ho was suspended from preach mg lor thrco years ; but the mob celebrated this mild sentence as a popular victory, and re ceived Sacheverell with ovations and bonGres. On a change of Ministry he got a rich living. Lord iovat, who was impeached and lehcad edin the reign of (ieorge I., for conspiracy to restore the Stuarts, would havo been re membered only for his rascalities, had not tho dignity of his trial raised him out of tho mire in which ho belonged. In tho early years of the reign of tho House of Hanover, impeachments were numerous, and the two House of Parliament did not even deem it beneath their dignity to put forth all their power for tho punishment of such petty crimes as smuggling. In several cases the only result of the proceedings was that the Lords and the Commons got at loggerheads on technical questions, and the prisoners es caped scot free. Iho circumstances of tho trial of "Warren Hastings nro so well known that we need on ly brielly refer to them. Impeached for ty rannical and corrupt practices during his ad- minion uuoii us vjovcriior-vjcnerui in lmusn India, ho was tried beforo one of the most distinguished assemblages that ever gathered in Westminster Jlall Uurke, Fox and Isher idan making sorao of their celebrated speech es as managers on behalf of tho Commons. The articles of impeachment wero brought forward in April, 1785. Two sessions were consumed in preliminary moasurcs. The trial began in February, 1788, and lasted un til April, 1795, one hundred and forty-eight days having been actually consumed in tho ir..i! ... i , , lruuuss. Hastings was acquitieu oy large majorities on all the charges, and public opinion, which was savagely hostile to him uii uiu uegiuumg, was eirongiy in nis lavor beforo the end: and in neither case was it procisely just. Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville, the cob ebrated colleague and friend of Pitt, was impeached in 1805 for misapplication of tho public money and complicity with a swind ling paymaster, whilo Treasurer of tho Navy. His trial besan in Westminster Hall, May 20, 180G, and on tho 12th of Juno ho was acquitted by a large majority a result which satisfied nobody of tho innocence of the ac cused, and tendod to bring into contempt both tho IIouso, of Lords and tho practice of trial by impeachment. That was tho last no table trial of the kind which has taken place in England. A Mr. Paul made frequentat- tempts in tho llouso ot Commons, m 1800, to bring forward articles of impeachment against Mnxnuis Wclleslev formiseonduetof rt 1 - " - - of the Government of India ; but the abor tive proceedings against Hastings and Mel ville had disgusted both l Parliament and peo ple with a' form of trial which seemed to have become little better than an' expensive system of white-washing, and Mr. Paul's charges were never entertained. ' 1 DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION IN ILLI NOIS. Formation of a Young Men'i Club at tjninejr. Speech of Col. Y. A. Illcliftrloii. Recently a Young Men's Democratic Club was organized at Cjuincy, 111. The following remarks lmade by the veteran Colonel llichardson, after tho organiza tion, aro worthy tho consideration of ev cry tax-payer in the land. Col. llichardson said ho had not come to make a speech, but to hear from those who had more lntcresttin tho contest now transpiring, than he had, for they were entering upon the career of manhood. and lie was closing that career. I foci that you, the young men, can do more than I can. 1 am willing to do my part, i ou can save to the tax-payers 8200,000,000 each year, by turning the Radical out of power, and you can't do so unless you do turn them out and place honest men in their places. They have an army of C0.000, men in time of peace that they pay over two thousand dollars per man per year, or rather tho tax-paycrs have to pay it. Last year the standing army cost 8122, 000,000. Let this army bo reduced, as it should have been two years ago, to 10, 000 twice as large as it was io 1SC0, - reduce the cost of each man to 8700. and you nave reuucea your expenses over 100,000,000, taking this much burden from the toilers and oppressed tax-payers. Vour navy U costing between forty aud fifty millions i er annum. Kcduco that one-half and thus save over twenty mill ion. me immense navy we nave now is not needed for any purpose except to spend money. Let twenty million per year moro be taken from the backs of toil and labor. I bus you will sec, my friends, by a change, by turning out the Itadicals, you can save one' hundred and twenty odd millions each year. But let us pro- teed. Ihc radicals nave about four hun dred millions of government bond in the national banks, upon which we are pay ing ix per cent, interest per annum in void, equal to about eight per cent, in Ic gal tendcr notes, uch as the people have a - i .... " to take. Uvcr thirty millions per annum honest men would ave to tho tax-payer each year by issuing legal-tender notes, bearing no interest, and taking up these bouds. Thus thirty odd millions more would be avcd each and every year to the tax-payer. Repeal the freedman's bureau, cnd ito legion of men and officers to get an hon est living, and you have over 8200,000, 000 each year laved to the tax-payers. The Radicals have conferred the right to vote upon tho negro, aud if he is compe tent to vote he ought to be able to take care of himself without costing the white tax-payers millions of dollars to feed, clothe and school his race. Now, you will be told that the army has appropriated for its support only about 810,000,000 by the present session of Congress. That is true. An election is coming. It won't do for them to go into the canvass without something to deceive tho people. After the election is over, they will pass what is called a deficiency bill, and appropriate the balance of the 8122,000,000 for the support, pay, etc., of the army, and so it will be in reference to .if I r . . . - i evcryiniug oie. liie uavy, utc irccu mcn s bureau, the expenses of Congress (now three or four times more than it should be.) Iho foundation upon which this lladi cal party is based is falsehood, fraud, cor ruption, the destruction of the very foun dation of civil and religious liberty, and, if there were stronger words, I would ap ply them to their leaders. But, as you seem determined, fellow-citizens, that I should not stop at this point, I will invite your attention to a few other subjects. A few months ago the leading Radicals in and out of Congress denounced a lead ing statesman of Ohio as a rcpudiator,be causo he proposed to pay the 5-20 bonds of tho United States in lawful, legal-tender notes made lawful money of the Uni ted States by a Radical Congress (every Democrat in Congress voting against the law.) A fair statement of Mr. Pendleton a position was this, to pay in gold where the bends specified, and to pay in legal tender notes, such as tho peoplo receive and pay out, all tho bonds that do not ex- press dpon their lace that they aro paya ble in gold. The mass of the peoplo said this posi tion was just, fair and honest. All Dcm- ocrats endorso this position everywhere, and one-half tho Republicans in the county of Adams also endorso it as " cor rect, and proper, and just. Tho bonds wero all bought with legal-tenders, paid for in legal-tcndors, and now these bond holders turn around and say that, although these bonds costs us only from forty to sixty cents on tho dollar in gold, we will wring from the tax-payer a dollar in gold for every dollar of the bond?, and this Radi cal Congress," before their adjournment, will bo arrange it that wo will have to pay them n gold, if it is possible so to arrange it. Notonly that but they will retire tho h gal-tendor notes, convert tnem into oonas, and saddle upon tho taxpayers over 820, 000,000 moro of taxes per year for these legal-tender notes that now bear no inter est. , . Every proposition from a Radical com mittee in Congress this session5 contem plates funding tho whole debtj---bonds, legal-tender notes and all, and making principal and interest payable , in gold, and oxempting the bonds from taxation, and if they pass anything it will bo in this shape and no other. The peoplo need not look to this Con gress for any relief,- thoy belong tbody and trowsers to the bondholders. , We must judgo the action of tho Rad icals not by their propositions, but1 by their, acts. ' They want to get rid of the legal-tender notes to force the peoplo to pay their salaries and the bondholders in wyv vial 1 , NO. 36. gold. By a law of Congress, passod by Radicals and Radicals alone, they requir ed the Secretary of the Treasury to burn up and destroy 84,000,000 of legal-tender notes bearing no interest, per month, and Mr, McCulloch did to to the extent of many millions. Why was this? Why did they not ourn up ana acstroy, instead of legal-toners that boro no interest, bonds that did bear interest f It is true they have, un der popular clamor, just repealed this Jaw, but they will come in some other ahane to accomplish the same end. The Radi- cais intend tnc bondholders to be paid in gold, and that wealth invested in bond- shall pay no taxes, for any purpose what ever, neiincr lor scnoois, city, county, State, or nation, and rou might as well make up your minds, ray young friends, to this at once. If you would avoid this, beat them with honest men. Upon the oth er hand, wo arc for reducing the army to a ...... .,,, . n . - peace establishment, lor reducing the na vy, for abolishing the Freedman's bureau. for substituting for national bank paper, inai costs us over fciy,uuu,VUV per year, legal-tenders that bear no interest. We are for raving to the tax-payers over zvv,wv,vw per annum in this, and for saving 8100.000,000 more per annum bv putting honest wen in the offices to collect the taxes, for the public officers are now stealing over 8100,000,000 each year. $300,000,000 can be saved each year by placing noncHi men in power. What confidence can anv man have in this Radical party f What of the past? i our years ago they told you the country would be secure the Union, tbe Consti tution, and public liberty safe if you would elect Lincoln and Johnson. What do they feay about Johnson now ? They say he is the wor&t man living or dead. Their promises of to-day are worth no more than their promises of four years ago. How is the Union and the Consti tution ? The one is divided and the oth er disregarded. Th ey tay they would arrange tho fu prems court so that that would be all right. They appointed two-thirds of the members, and now they arc engaged to destroy that department of the govern ment. Xay, more, they aro engaged in trying one of the judges of that court for exercising the freedom of speech. And this is the party that eanU about free speech. They do nothing right. They have sent a committee from this State to make (iov. Yates resign, treatise they say the (jovcrnor drinks. They knew as well when they elected him that ho drank as they do now, and better, because they saw him every day, and had seen him for years before. This is the moral party. The Radical party is ono, I repeat, of falsehood, fraud and corruption. Iu the contest, my friends, if we are true to ourselves, we must beat them. If we fail, constitutional liberty is lost for ever. Tho 1'rofcttt. The following is a copy of tho protest offered in tho IIouso on the 2d. Tho mo tion made to suspend the rules that the protest might be read and placed on the journal was rcjocted on the 3d 16 to 84: The undersigned, members of the For tienth Congress of tho United States, representing directly or in principle more thin .one-half of the United States, do hereby, in tho name cf the law and jus tice, and in behalf of those they repre sent, most solemnly protest against the ty ranny and injustice practiced by the ma jority of the House in violating the sa cred rights of free debate and unrestrained deliberation upon tho greatest questions ever brought before an American Con gress. The rules of the House made for the protection of the minority, and by a strict adherence to which the weaker party can only be protected from those irregularities and abuses which wanton ness of power is but too often apt to sug gest to largo and successful majorities- have been, during this entire Congress. violative of their true spirit and intent, wantonly and unprecedentedly suspended and set aside, not upon particular and pressing matters, but upon all pending subjects of legislation, so that by this reckless and arbitrary suspension of rules and the wanton abuse of tho previous question, the rights of the minority have been utterly disregarded, the House of Representatives has ceased to be a. delib erative body, and tho minority havo been compelled to vote upon tho most impor tantquostionswithoutany proper or reason able timo for debate cr consideration. To such extent has this dangerous. and oppres sive practice obtained that measures affect ing vitally tho whole country and the dear est interests of our constituencies, tending, as wo believe, to tho subversion of our republican form of government, in their very nature demanding of, the people and representatives the most careful ex amination and scrutiny have been hur ried through forms of legislation without being printed, without one word of debate or ono moment's consideration, without tho opportunity of tho undersigned to protest except in violation of the then operating order onforced by tho majority as the order of tho House. These alarm ing abuses of power might not seem "to demand this formal protest, if we were not forced to tho belief that a determined intention exists with' the majority to rev olutionize this Government by destroying the other co-ordinato branches and vest- ng all powers of tho Governraant in Con gress. ' - . . In the steps taken to depose the Presi dent of the United States wo aro admon ished that there is no end to this oppres sive measure to cripple tho power and si- lenco the voice oi ino minority, xno resolution yas rushed through' the House under the operation of tho previous ques tion, referring the matter to tho commit tee; on Reconstruction. Tho committee, in hot haste, setting when the House was m session, in violation of one of its exi press rules, considered it, and by a strict KATES OF ADVERTISING s rzn tsar j One Column, $100 ; Ifalf Colcma, CO Quarter Cot.

Members were al-. lowed tome thirty minntoa, aome twenty,, some ten and some one minute only, to discuss tho most momentous question ever presented. Many could not get one mln-. utc under the arbitrary rule of the ma--jority and more than half those even of the par'y voting to enforce the previous question, who desired to be heard, wero? f permitted only to print their speeches in,' ; the Globe after the question upon . th& ? resolution was decided, and which were, never delivered in the House. No com-, mcnt can demonstrate more completely than tho facts themselves the viciousncsa and illegality of such proccdings. Hut " this wanton and excecsive use of the ma-, T jority docs not stop here. While tho, committee were in ession upon further proceedings to remove the President, and in anticipation of its action, under the op ation of the previous question, without, debate, in violation of the express rule, new, special and most extraordinary rules .1 for tho conduct of this proceeding, chang ing, without prcvioug notice the rules of the House, were adopted to further limit debate and completely place the minority in the power and mercy of the majority. , Thus while the majority of Congress are warring upon the other co-ordinate de-. partmcnts the Executive and Judicial endeavoring to subjugate and bring them both under the will and control of-; Congress, the minority of the House of Representatives are steadily and surely being stripped of all power, and their constituents deprived of all represent- ativc voice in the counsels of the repub lic. We do. therefore, most solemnly pros Gcd haste with which the majority of thU HouKe has inaugurated, presented and rushed through, by a strict party vote, in plain and palpable violation of one of the standing rules of the House, a resolution de manding the impeachment of the Chief 3Iagistratc of the people for alleged crimes and misdemeanors in office. When tha; gravity of tho charge, the character of tho, high office against which the attack was di-. reeled, and the unforeseen and tremendotiS, consequence which might result therefrom to the peace and prosperity of the people called Tor the cxercke of the calmest and wisest judgment, the most unprejudiced: and impartial deliberation on the part ofv those who had such proceedings in charge, we do most solemnly protest against this, thrice-repeated r.ttempt to degrado and break down one of the great co-ordinate branches of the government, through the spirit of party hatred and vengeance, against a person who, by the Constitu-, tinn i in tVt rlfrttfnl and prmsflipntirmM discbarge cf its functions, thus consum-, ing the precious time which ought to be faithfully devoted to an earnest effort ta, relieve the pressing wants of the people the restoration of this distracted country to union and good order, and to lightening the burden of taxation which is pressing-. down all the energies of trade and com-, merce to a point of universal bankruptcy and ruin. . ...... We do again most solemnly protest against and profoundly deprecate and de4 plore any and all attempts to array in hostile antagonism to each other the de-, partments of the Government upon the mere question of the constitutionality or construction of a law of Congress, tht proper jurisdiction and final adjudication of which belong to the judicial tribunal and we hereby warn the people of tha Unitcd States that the public liberty and the existence of free institutions are in-, volved in this suicidal struggle, and that they are in imminent peril of an utter overthrow. - We do further most solemnly protest against that wild and radical spirit of innovation upon the early and well --..I-j r r t ' bCiUL'u practice ui uutciuiucut, a unic tice established by men who framed the Constitution and who best understood its spirit and meaning, which puts the Chief' Magistrate of the Republic, the Repre sentative of the dignity and power of tho,.. peoplo, at the mercy of his subordinate,, : assumiug to be Secretary of War in viol ation of his own pronounced conviction of law, who has the unjblushing effront- . ery to place himself in the unwarranted, position of communicating directly with Congress in purer, contempt oi me auinor., ity of his superior, and with tho delibcr-. ate purpose of resisting that authority. Tho undersigned, .therefore, in the, character of the Representatives of the people, being deprived, bv the despotic) power of an inexorable , majority, of the. privilege of. debate, that great instrument in the discovery of the trutht and most cherished heritage of a free people, do.. hereby solemnly and earnestly protest against theso infractions of th.e' rights of' the people, aud ask that this their pro test misrht be spread upon the journal of the House. ? : V -' : nw A F.ldvidfTfl: P.
