Impeachment. This is the day appointed by the Senate to receive the answer, and commence the trial of Judge Chase. We have an additional reason for believing that the term of his services has arrived. Almanacks are to be regarded as the sure and infallible prognosticators of all the great events which are to take place during the year; otherwise they would be of no use whatever. In the Almanack, calculated and published by Mess. Johnsons of this town, for the year 1805, we observe that the name of Samuel Chase has been prophetically omitted, when giving a list of the Supreme Judiciary!!! It must be admitted, by the friends of the Judge, to be rather alarming that the Stars should have thus positively declared against him!!!
