THE HALL OF THE CONVENNON, The New Wigwam—Vivit of Del Convention to the New Tamm Views of the South on the Great Favorite for Nominatio: The work on the new wigwam on Fourteenth street is being pushed forward with untiring energy, and the hitherto glorious and now coming eventful Fourth of July will find it ready for the great work which is to inaugurate its formal dedication as the great democratic wigwam, The principal hall is lofty, spacious and well ventilated, and will seat close on five thousand persons. In al) its interior decorations and fittings, in the change of location and its imposing appearance as a public structure, the new wigwam presents a pro- portionate advance with the extent, growing wealth and importance of our city, Every day it is visited by the avant courriers of the State delegations—the men who may have been some day in the past once in their lives before in Gotham, and are, there- fore, supposed to be experienced in the ways of the great city and proof against the wiles, deceptions and machinations of the legion of sharpers who are constantly on the look out for the arrival of green country cousins, To these chiefs of delegations the visit to the arena where their State is to cast ite vote with its sister democratic States to save the Union from radical misrule is one of chief and absorbing interest, The party in charge of the build- ing—the majordomo, chief doorkeeper or sergeant- at-arme, or whatsoever oMcial designation be goes by—ie assiduous in his attention to these visitors an‘ points out to them everything of iuterest. One of the principal features of the ornamentation of the Principal hall will be the thirty-seven ‘shields and coats of arms representing all the Statesef the Vuion, These are very beautifully painted, and follow after the “old thirteen’ in the order tn Which they came into the Union and set their stare to shine in the galaxy that will have sich an excellent representation the epeaker's tribune, At almost any hour of ti day members of delegations from States adjoini and from far distant homes, along the great Pacific slope, the Western prairie and the Mississippi valley, may be met with, under the guidance of Mr. McGar- vey Sens, ‘heir admiration for the perfectness with which the ancient shrine of Tammany 1s, phoe- nix-like, being reproduced in tts new temple, and hoping that the dedicatory work will be so auspt- clously commenced and carried through as to awaken fresh devotion im the hearts of aft for the democratic inetitutions of our beloved land, ‘phe tatives of the Southern delegations who are here are individuals in favor of Chase, while the deleg as & body at home are anxiously hoping for Chase's nomination; but acting as bodies ip the Convention they will vote for any man that the preponderating vote of the Conven- tion may indicate as the favorite.

THE CHASE MOVEMENT. Feeling in the West—The Elements of Success iu the Chase Movement—Relative Strength of Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Chase—Radical Concession that the Chief Justice Is the Strongest—The Intrigues in the Democratic Party—Disaffection in the Pendleton Ranks A Strong Chase Element Discovered in the Ohio Delegat! CINCINNATI, June 14, 1868. Cincinnati ia one of the many cities that prospered greatly during the war. The reaction set in with peace, and, perhaps, outside of the city of New York none felt it more than the metropolis of Ohio, which, from its position, transacted a vast deal of business with the South. The money accumulated during the war has been invested here in a thousand ways, and @ great deal of it has been lost through the sbrinkage in values which ensued all over the coun- try upon the re-establistrment of peace. The business of Cincinnati to-day in actual figures is not smaller than it was during the palmtest of its days, but profits are ess; while, according to the natural ratio of increase, business at the pres- ent time should be much more extensive. The equality in figures has been sustained by the increase in home business. The transactions with the South have been of a very limited extent, The old custom of long credit has been abolished, and no more sales are made onthe expectation of payment from the growing crops in the Southern States, Business is conducted with that region on an emphatically cash basis, and ag money is scarce there the business is anything but extensive. Hence no persons in the country are more solicitous for the re-establishment of good order than the merchants of this city. The restoration of good fecling with the South would add millions annually to their revenues, They are not extreme politicians and have not been the most ac- tive participants in the political compaigns of the two great parties. Cincinnati is a purely commer- ctal city, and its denizens have not devoted them- selves to politics, The coming Presideniia! clection has, however, awakened a deai of interest in mer- cantile circles, particularly where reverses have been sustained or where business has not been most prosperous. It is very natural that men who lose money or who do not make money at a time of great political excitement should at- tribute. their want success to the condi- tion of the country and desire a change in ite management, The feeling is prevalent hore that the republican party having been in power for two terms achange in the administration of the government would be beneficial. Hence, the way has been paved for a grand movement looking to the removal of the radical-dynasty at Washington. The Chase movement is too new to have gathered as yet the elements of conservatism among mercan- tilé men. It is a noyelty in the political line which haa surprised them so much that they have hardly recovered enough to consider or discuss tt. ‘This much may be said of it, however, while it has startled the radicals it nas’ dehghted ‘the democrats, ‘The latter do not take to it as Warmly as have some of the professional politicians, because they have their faith on Mr. endieton’s coat sleeve, fo not oppose it or decry tt, The democratic merchants of the West are not bondholders a like their brethren in the East, and they the popular movement for greenback headed by Mr. Pendleton. The money wh tutes th pital and weaith has been invested in the expenditure of their business facilities and in real estate. Hence they can afford to jon the masses on the question of tle redemption of the bonds, which, after all, ts the great political question of the West. it would be wrong to say that there is not a deep and earnest feeling for the election of General Grant, is confined to those who represent the more 1 wing of the republicans. ‘This portion of the rantile community is a wealthy and influential one, General Grant's friends say that his election will bring about the very state of things which their more restive and uneasy brethren are so anxtous for, it would settle the political agitation now exciting the country, The South has got to a certain step in nd his election would remove all lin- ering ideas there of a change in the political admin- istration of affairs. It would confirin and complete n done, and stimutate all the branches of agriculture and industry to immediate action. The election of Mr. Pendleton or any other demo- cratic candidate would, on the other hana, require the work to be done all over again, It would revive politics in the South and create a party feeling and ambition that would be fatal to the development of the long neglected resources of the region. ‘The mer- chants who hold this belief say they would feel safe under Generali Grant again, because he is not a poittician, and that for this reason they could not view with complacency the success of either Mr, Chase or Mr. Pendleton. They will prove a great power in the canvass, Pe oye as they do a great part of the wealth of the Queen City, and co- operating with the organizations of loyal leagues and the army fraternities which have endorsed the General-in-Chief. ‘The few merchants here who are bondholders—and no distinction is made with reference to party—are in favor of a reduction in the rate of interest after the expiration of the five years. The cause of thisis their fear that what is now a policy of payment in greenbacks may in the future vecome one of repu- diation, The growing popularity of the idea has alarmed them, and hence their willingness to con- sent to a change in the rate of interest—a step which would put an end to the cry for the taxation of the bonds. . Those that come from the South state tnat on the steamers plying on the Ohio river the question of Chase's nomination has been the subject of most ear- nest debate and wildest comment. Travellers from Kentucky and Tennessee say the matter is discussed in a Way which leaves no doubt that Chase would be as popular in the Southwest as he is in the East. ‘The radicals in this vicinity concede that the Chief Justice is the strongest man that could be run against General Grant, and they make the curious admission that if the democrats are going to win in the November election they would rather see Mr. Chase elected than any other man which the party could put in nomination. Rebellious child of the party as he has proved himself, there ta sttil an affec- tion and admiration for him which his evil doings have not obliterated, There is one enthusiastic radical in this State who ts not going to vote for Grant and Colfax, if the srrangement of which ticket he says the Chicago Convention got the men misplaced, and that Colfax should be the leader. He ridic je radical nominations as the “kangaroo” ticket, because the short calibre is fn front and the long calibre in the rear. His case is a sample of many who would vote for Chase were he nominated, thus offsetting those democrats, who, it is claimed, would vote for Grant rather than for the Chief Justice, a man so long iden- tified with the republican party. One democrat thinks that many of his brethren will vote for Grant, who, and their opinion, will prove what he styled @ “worse ‘sell’ upon the republican part; than Andy Johuson himself ttre! Radicals ‘who express their views of the relative chances of Chase and Pendieton—and to such men it Boag Oe ree ee ve some attention, as those who look on frequently see more of the ¢ than the layers—say that Pendleton would poll a larger vote iA the State of Ohio, if notin the whole West. than his newly found rival. Whether these men speak thr indignation at the Chief Jnetice for his anti- radical course or from honest conviction, they allege that Chase had an opportunity of poe his popu: larity when the Ohio republican de! ites assembled last winter, and when he was anxious to have his name mted before the Chicago Convention. Alth he had exerted his utmost en- deavors through the State Central Committee and had pulled all the wires within his control, the delegates on assembling presented @ solid front for General Grant. So much, they say, for Mr. Chase's popalartt io the republican party, and so much ‘or the injury he will do it if nominated against the Chicago candidate, Among the politicians and in the Leste gap world the Chase movement has suddenly excited the deepest interest. The democracy in the West are divided into two factions—the regulars and the peace demo- cracy. Both jes derided the stories from the Fast about the probability of Mr, Chase's candidacy when thoy firat were mato kaown here. Itis very certain that here in Oincinn: residence of of the democracy, must be something clae Mr. wory litte attention was paid to Eien's cuoiss between radicals, for they have not until within the past few weeks. 7 {eh earnetsnas uch was ever made by “awapping pA ite gt editorial.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— i Iam not a politician and would not associate my name with the ambitious mortals who pull the wires and tle the tape, but am, nevertheless, forced to thank you for the independent course of the HERALD at this time, and for the positive reflection it gives of the sentiments of the masses of Northern New York, to my knowledge, aud undoubtedly of the country at large. There 1s certainly an anxious looking forward to the action of the New York Convention by the con- servative element of the country—a hope among the independent men of the nation—that this Convention will rise above the whims and caprice of party, and give us such nominations as will be a guarantee of good faith on the part of the democracy that theirs is a war against the excesses of the party in power. I am a republican, but not so blind a3 not to see that the supreme power of the radical element of this party has reached that madness with which the gods presage destruction. So completely has their rashness and folly and intemperance proved itself a weakness to themselves that instead of going before the people with their record and upon it, they have secured as an element of strength the foremost military hero of the country, whose merits they a will cover the pve mistakes they have made.

Will that section agree to Fecognize the civil equality of the negro as a settled issue, never to be reopened in the return- ing States? Having pronounced the whole policy of reconstruction unconstitutional and infamous, will the ex-rebels consent to reverse this emphatic declaration in order to give strength to a Presidential ticket? The South holds to its creed, not calmly and dispassionately, but in anger; and this fact makes concession on its part more unlikely. No persons are more difficult to control than those who will not listén to reason. Q [From the Elizabeth (N. J.) Herald—Governor Parker serenrad | What shall the Convention do then about the univer- sal suffrage question? It is a live question. It is one that must be met. It fs, it seems to us, one that can be easily settled on true democratic principles by a simple declaration tnat it must be left to the indivi- dual States to settle it. This would not interlere with the individual views of conservative men like Chief Justice Chase, and the men who think that justice requires that enatrage should be extended to ‘women or negroes, for surely it is an unappealable decision if a State should decide to allow such an extension, (Washington correspondence of the Cleveland eader—Grant radical.) The political situation is interesting. The struggle between Jackson and Clay was somewhat like it; but this is more involved and startling.

Never has a arty had so great and grand an opportunity. Will hey seize it, or will the radical wing of that’ party prove its ruin? The condition of the country points out so strongly the 6 Fens aped defeat of the Congress party that many of the narrow minded democrats are anxious to renew the issues as nearly as possible which cost their defeat four years ago for the barren satisfaction of congratulating themselves that they have been endorsed by the Sober “second thought?! for which they have waited so long. But be it Known to them that with the issue of four years ago must come the result of among the workers for him. President Johnson ts said to have Chase for his second choice. He is weakest in Pennsylvania, strongest in New England and New York. The World has hinted toward him; the Cincinnati Enquirer did so a month ago. It is most extraordinary, explainable upon no principle that I understand, a simultaneous movement along the whole line. Even John Morrissey is for the Chief Justice. The Manhattan Club is said to be almost solid for Mr, Chase, counting out a few scatterin; votes for Hendricks, of Indiana, whois the thir man on the list, This is the position to-day in rela- tive strength:—Pendleton, Chase, Hendricks!

What ts called the “Chase movement" continues the prominent subject of discussion among the lead- ing political circles, That Mr. Chase should be se- riously urged for the democratic nomination for President is a sufficient evidence of the sudden and radical changes which occur in the political atmos- phere in revolutionary times like the present, but there are some circumstances pertaining to the character of the support which Mr. Chase receives which are quite as extraordinary as the fact that he is presented at all. The prospect of Mr. Chase’s noini- nation has become sufficiently clear to induce General Grant's friends to bestir themselves, and we have consequently an intrigue to check the rise of the tide in favor of the Chief Justice. Who would you naturally suppose to be the leaders in this business? The radi- cais? No. They are thesame parties that, failing to make terms with Old Ben Wade, brought about the acquittal of Mr. Johnson. The Seward interest in this State is using the patronage which they control needed to stir up an enthusiasm, let us have no lessa personage than Farragut. Give us men whose record for the last seven years has been right, whose bp mage have been with their country struggling for existence, and a platform squarely opposed to the usurpation, excesses. and rashness of the radical majority, and success, peace, pros perity and soberness will mark the action.

The republicans who now come forward and urge the nomination of Mr. Chase, and promise him not only effective but organized support, are the most intense radicals, who flercely denounced the acquittal of Mr. Johnson and to whom Mr. Chase's position with reference to that matter is exceedingly distateful. Those who can remember back fifteen years already know that the bulwark of republican strength in this State lies in the old barnburner democratic counties, “the home of Silas Wright,” giving the largest republican majority of any county in the United States. The leaders of these people, who for fourteen years have been alienated from the democratic party, now urge the nomination of Mr. Chase, as a bri over which they can all return to the democratic fold. They hate Mr. Weed and Mr. Seward and the old Breckin- ridge faction which into the republican party with such intense bitterness that words can hardly express it, and seize eagerly upon the Chase move- ment as a means of relieving them of an alliance that is almost unendurable, (From the Wilmington (N. C.) Journal—democratic.) ‘The friends of none of the distinguished gentle- men who will be urged for the nomination will car- z their personal enthusiasm beyond the decision of the Convention; all will acquiesce readily and cheer- fully in the result, Mr. Pendleton, who will donbt- less go into the Convention with more strength than any other man, has deciared his intention of having his name withdrawn whenever it stands in the way of harmonious action and an acceptable nomination, and has openly stated his cheerful willingness to serves to be very carefully welgned before any abso- lute decision upon it can be made. It is sufficient to the purpose of the present writing to pass over, in general, the reasons for and against him in the same manmer as in the case ef Mr. Pendleton, Mr. Chase has been known for years as a State rights man, and is believed to be firmly of the persuasion that the States are alone empowered to settle domestic matters for and within themselves. He is claimed to be judicially unfriendly to the Reconstruction acts of Congress whereby the Southern States have been robbed of a fair expression of qpinion upon issues most vital to their own interests. He made an impartial record on impeachment, and is known to have been in favor of the President's acquittal. This is certainly a tribute to his judicial integrity, if not an evidence of his political opinions and his want of affinity to the extreme radicalism of the party which put him in office. If nominated on a democratic platform, he would doubtless conciliate a large and wavering radical vote, which fears to follow the lead of the extreme wing, into wiose cgntrol, it is reasonably expected, Grant, if elected ‘President, would fall.

They (the democrats) cannot point to a single item in Mr. Chase’s conduct or declarations to show that in one of these great affairs and principles he has changed. And yet the movement of the democratic party managers to make Mr. Chase the candidate of the party is so considerable that even its opponents admit that it isthe strongest force that Mr, Pendle- ton will have to meet, and many of them show that the chances are at least doubtful. Such changes an these are not party campaigns. They are a declara- tion of the necessity for the dissolution of the party and for its reconstruction in some form that shi thfow off its former character. The nomination of either of these men is a complete party revolution. In case of the nomination of Mr. Pendleton the re- taining of the old dramatis persone will defeat the intent of the new greenback so that the party will, after all, its old character, after having repudiated and contemned it.

It is but a@ continuance of the course of the disease. The nomination of Mr. Chase is the only remedy that is adequate to the desperate condition to which all the democratic doctors find the party reduced. They must appear to have renounced their democratic nature and to have taken on the nature of their leader, Like the sinner whom grace has saved, they must declare their loathing of their former state, and must have most demonstrative raptures at their redemption from it through the po- litlcal merits of Mr, Chase, in whose name alone they must make the Presidential canvass on * NEW HAMPSHIRE AND PENDLETON. The New Hampshire Democracy—Pendletoa Favored, (From the Evening Telegram of yesterday.] Boston, June 16, 1863. The New Hampshire delegates to the Democratic Convention in New York had a meeting tn Corcord last evening for the purpose of gaining the various sentiments upon the matter of delegates to be nomi nated. They seemed to be about evenly divided between Pendleton for President and Hoffman for Vice President on the one hand, and Hendricks for President and Hancock for Vice.-President on the other, Judge Chase's last letter has caused his name to bein rather bad odor with the influential democrats here so far as their assisting in nominat- ing him for the Presidency is concerned. Gen- eral Hancock is evidently the third choice of the delegates from the State, although they say that if he be nominated they wiil cordially sup- port him. Hendricks and Hoffman are the choice of one or more of the New Hampshire delegates. Ex- President Pierce has been consulted, but his views outwardly are the same as expressed in his recen' arerg letter. He deciines to publicly commit imself for any of the candidates talked of. It ia said, however, that Pierce's choice is Pendleton and Hendricks. The de! ites will probably leave Con- cord July 1, and tl headquarters will be at the Everett House. The alte: les chosen will generally attend. It is probable t at least three hundred democrats from New Hampshire will be in New York during the Convention. Mr, Anson 8. Marshall, of Concord, Chatrman of the Democratic State Oom- mittee, and also one of the delegates, has charge of the arrangements for the journey and for the stay of the delegation in New York. POLITICAL NOTES. A grand democratic mass meeting is to be heidia Atlanta, Ga., on the 224 July, Preparationsare being made to render it one of the greatest political gather- ings ever held in Georgia. ‘The Augusta Constitutionalist aska, “Are the prt- vates to be bucked and gagged if, as American citt- zens, they groan for General Grant? This is a conun- drum for the military to settle.”” The Lacon (Ill.) Statesman states that Illinois will go into the National Convention as a unit for Pendle- ton; and yet, it adds, the democrats of the State are not united in thinking Mr. Pendleton the best man for the crisis. The Statesman favors the nomination of General Sherman. The Mobile Register states that arrangements have been made with the great Southern Raliroad route to transport delegates and all others to New York during the session of the Convention for one fare. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says of the President’s daughters:—“They are faithful daughters, modest hostesses, excellent women.” ‘The Dubuque (lowa) Herald, announcing that Grant and Colfax are preparing for a tripamong the Paw- nees and Arapahoes, asks :—‘‘When will our govern. ment see to it that these outrages upon the Indians are stopped. If they cannot survive firewater and smallpox, why add to their trials Grant and Col- fax?’ The cockney \Washington correspondent of the London Morning Herald may properly enough write in regard to Judge Chase's sagacity in preserving the doom of the radical party, yet le steps out of his way when he refers to General Grant as qm “an- scrupulous soldier.” But no doubt many English. men even now think Washington and Jackson were woth “ unscrupulous” fellows, A radical paper in Ohio talks abont “how Pendie- ton is to be slaughtered."
