To THE EpIToR OF THE HERALD; — In the HeRratp of yesterday, June 17, your cor- respondent from Philadelphia, giving an account of the Chase movement in that city, includes my name in a list of democrats and repub‘icans who have been appointed to attend the National Democratic Con- vention in the interest of Judge Chase, Your cor- respondent is In error, or, if not, the use of my name is without shadow of authority.

CITY POLITICS, The Political Status—The Vacfilation of the Democratic Leaders—The Unanimity of the Masses for Chase—The Republican Party— Truce Among the Factions—The Republican Candidate for Governor—The Coming Dele- gation. The racing and yachting season has most favorably intervened to stave off for ¢ week or two the duties and responsibilities which attach to those who claim to run the political machine in this city. The chiefs of Tammany, with their augers, their soothsayers and spokesmen are all, day after day, absent from their accustomed haunts, and the oracle is silent. The heads of the democratic party are literally at sea on the yachting question, while, metaphorically speaking, they are on the same boundless element with regard to their duty on the political situation, with seemingly a far less reliable compass to steer by than that known in navigation. The duty of the hour is pressing upon them and the responsibilities they incur from their position de- mand immediate consideradon. Yet, with the un- certainty, the vacillation, the trimming and the com- promising that always deter men who have been “down on their luck,’ they fear to take the only bold step that promises the party and the country a chance of success. The leaders know that the great heart of the democracy of this city beats with hope and encouragement for the future at the anticipation that wise counsels will prevail at the coming Con- vention and that Chase will be the nominee of that Convention. The people understand the question and Judge Chase and Universal Suffrage—Speech of the Chief Justice in Charleston, 8. C. {From the Charleston Courier, June 17.) Tn compliance with numerous requests from abroad we reproduce tne following speech, deliv- ered in Zion church in this city, on the 12th day of May, 1865, by Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, and which was published in this journal the following day, after being carefully revised in proof under his immediate supervision. It gives full expression to his views of universal suffrage and kindred topics, and will be read, we think, with great interest, in view of the use now belng made of his name In con- nection with the democratic nomination to the Pres- dency:— My Frienps—I shall comply with the invitation of General Saxton only to address you a vi = words.

Herald—democrat.} Perhaps never with such spontaneous promptitude did a people respond to an appeal to their reason, their sympathies and their duty as in the case of the suggestion of the name of Chief Justice Chase as a candidate for the Presidency. In every rank of 60- ciety, high and low, where democrats and conserva- tive patriots do congregate, his candidacy seems re- garded as a decree of fate, and as almost providen- tal means to rescue the republic from destruction, and preserve us as a nation. Among the hard-fisted democracy, whose honest instincts serve the place of philosophy and experience, and whose hearts are always in the right place; and amid the kid-gloved segment of the whose members expect a per- sonal participation in the honors and emoluments of victory, unanimity—and, in fact, equal enthusiasm— seems to prevail. On the other hand, the nomina- tion of Grant has thrown a wet blanket over his party, and their teeth chatter and their limbs quiver like @ dog in a wet sack. Tae the Hartford Times—democratic_organ.] e hardly know the origin of this (the Chase) poll- tical movement. But Chief Justice Chase has ardent hihi friends, and he is htmself not entirely free rom personal ambition. The tendency of his aspi rations partakes more of the political than the judi- cial. The Presidency has unquestionably some charms for him. Formerly a democrat and a ster- ling State rights man, but drawn head and shoulders in the negro maelstrom of the past fourteen years, he is now awakening to the dangers that beset the A New Name Suggested for the Democratic Nomination—General George W. Morgan, of Iai Ohio FRANKFORT, Ky., June 8, 1868, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— The “great heart of the country” expects some- thing more from the National Democratic Conven- tion than anything of which we yet have any promise. After the flasco of tmpeachment and. the “stillborn” nominations of Chicago, the atmosphere has been 80 cleared that there 1s @ very unanimous opinion in these parts that the democracy have it in their power to sweep the fleld at the ensuing Presidential elec- tion if their convention is only wise enough to adapt the means to the end. Ido not propose to discuss what the platform ought to be, There are abundant materials for that right before us, and every plank ought to be taken from the heart of radical history. Its enormities, rapacities and frauds, of attempt and execution, furnish abundant stock upon which to erect a democratic platform that will glisten in the sun. But, as your columns have indicated, the man for the hour has not yet been suggested. Here the choice is Pendleton, not because any particular man of whatever complexion, protected in the enjoyment of all his natural rights and to see every man clothed with every logitimate means for the protection of those rights. No man, probably, in this country de- plored this war more than myself; perhaps no man would have made greater sacrifices to avert it. I did not wish to see even the great good of eman- cipation effected at such a terrible cost. I believed that it would come some time; I believed that by a wise and just administration of the federal govern- ment it might be hastened; but I never desired to see such a terrible struggle as that through which we have passed. I never desired to see those seas of blood and those vast gulfs in which the treasures of the country have be convinced one man that th have been sunk, even for that highest good, which, pata ivee aap Be one 2 only. be made to his lement of the country, its recon- as we all hoped, could have been obtained by other | republic and to the recklessness of the radical party. | glory or halo circles or can be made to circle [hey ob gpg tr a d its return to’a glori and gentler mea: Butin the providence of God | An opponent of the hment plot, and witha ; but because our friends in Ohio honor him | Struction as @ Union an: urn to @ glorious ndas a means of carrying that war | revival of old fash onstitntional ideas, he feels | Dames but beca career lies in the success of the democratic party and and we know him to be a man worthy of their honor.

The voters of this city, of every nationality, are strongly supporting the movement in the hope of assuring their leaders that their best policy is to vote forthe only man that promises a chance of success, The propriety of calling a great mass meeting of the democracy, independent of would be leaders and buncombe orators, is very —— can- vassed, and there is a prospect that the democratic and conservative republican voters of the city be- fore the coming week has expired will call such a meeting, and speak out in favor of Chase as the first favorite of the Empire City for nomination at the Convention in tones that cannot be disregarded. The republican party are jubilant over the sup- posed decline of the Chase stock in the market. ‘They have come to look upon the election of Grant asa certainty, and under this conviction and with the elation it creates they are now determined to contest the gubernatorial election, and entertain now small hopes of success therein. There has beena temporary truce in the faction fight that has so long the black man?" T never If we mi will dwarf anything which the radicals have yet been able to create for Grant and Colfax. But it is clear to you, it is clear to the country, that the pre- servation of republicanism as our system of govern- ment depends upon democratic success in the coming election. And it is also clear that the de- mocracy needs all the adventitions aid the name of a candidate can give. In looking over the list of names hitherto presented it is clear that none of them impart that feeling of confidence, of inspiration so necessary at such a time as this. Hancock can bring no strength to the ticket which would not be offset with objections. He has no record of states- manship except his ever-memorable and noble letter to Pease. His war record would be but a shadow of Grant's. Farragut would only _ elicit a question why he was nominated. Thomas H. Sey- mour or Franklin Pierce would be acceptable to high considerations of statesmanship; but somehow or other there seems to be a disposition to not go be- hind the shadows of the last six years. Horatio Sey- mour, Hendricks, Doolittle, Parker, &c., present fewer elements of strength than Pendleton and come within the same range. What we want appears to be a “new man,”’ one whose name would not be felt to be objectionable to the affiliations of democrats anywhere or of any time; whose record has in it no points for successful abuse by the enemy; one whose name is synonymous with honor; of firmness and city for statesmanship recognized; and withal with some certain charms of personal history about which the people would feel like growing enthusi- astic. wetter looking over the whole field my, eye seeks in loubted the proper answer. ke them freemen, and the defence of their freedom is the defence of this nation, whose duty is it to bear arms, if not theirs? Whose duty is it to take part in this struggle now for freedom as well as for Union, if not their duty? And how can we expect to succeed if we do not avail ourselves of that natural strength which in this struggle is created for us by the circumstances under which it is waged? When the government, therefore, made up its mind to call the black man to the fleld I felt that t had not done it one moment too soon, but a great many days too late. But now the colored man has borne his full, proper share in the great struggle. If any- body has made sacrifices he has made them. If any- body has suffered extreme iil he has suffered it; and the victory being won, and freedom and Union being secured, who has a better right than he to participate in the fruits of both’ It is simply because I think it just and right that I advocate it.” I believe that the safety of nations as well as of individuals consists tion of his numerous friends to the dangers into which the radicals have plunged the country. It will call out a comparison of opinions and of princl- ples, and lead rant right minded voters to correct conclusions. It will overcome prejudices that would otherwise have controlled those who entertained them. And though Mr. Chase will not and ought not to be nominated at the New York Convention, without certainly a change of his position on the negro issue, we doubt not that he and a host of his friends will be found in the coming eection in sym- pathy with and practically aiding the democratic party in opposition to the radicals, whose course is at war with our free —. “Hedging” on Chase. {From the Dayton (Ohio) peek tl ren organ, The Boston Post, New York World and some other of the Eastern democratic papers which, in cruising all around in search of a candidate to kill off Pendle- ton with, lit upon Chase, are evidently becoming ee at by ee oie power of the minis- . | tering agent or spectre which they called up to do Egg oe ther proviashes at snd, the work, and would now gladiy exorcise him, it he | is sire to issue safely and triumphantly. it | Will only “down at their bidding.” So Faust found may be,that great struggles have to be gone through, the Devil too much for him, and Manfred evoked at trials to be made, great martyrdoms to be en: spirits which he could not control.

M., to select delegates to attend the National Convention of Soldiers and Sailors in New York on the 4th of July. The Boston Herald, independent democrat, op» poses the nomination of Chase and goes for Han- cocg. The Post, radical democrat, and Herald, both going for Hancock, insures in Massachusetts a tively canvass in November. A New York correspondent of the Boston Advers tiser says the early holding of the radical conven- tion in this State (July 8) would seem to foreshadow, the renomination of Governor Fenton, and re marks :—‘ Such action would seem to be necessary to assure the people of the country that his friends were sincere when they declared at Chicago that his nomination for Vice President would secure the vote of New York for Grant.” The Hartford Courant, cross-grained because the United States Senator from Connecticut “still lives,” goes into the Chase movement in the following fashion:—‘‘Mr. Chase long ago showed himself far in- ferior to General Grant in the ability to select and gather around him the best and most capable men. He is showing himself inferior again by his lack of self-praise and of ability to wait for the call of the people and to cheerfully submit to their decree. The veteran of the liberty party is bidding through the columns of the Nsw YORK HERALD for the support of those who made a four years’ war to save slavery by destroying the Union, and are not sorry for itt This Presidential disease is indeed terrible.” oe _ The Cleveland Herald (radical) thinks Chase ha® better become the nominee of @ third party.

The radicals attempted to get up @ Grant and Colfax pole and fag raising in a town in Connecticut the other day, and they could not muster force enough to erect the pole. They had to cail upon de- mocrats for assistance. ‘The Potsdam Courier brings forward the name of W. A. Wheeler, Member of Congress from that dis- trict, as a preper nomination for Governor of New York, since Mr. Fenton declines renomination. The Rome (Ga.) Courier says of Mr. Chase:—The only point in which he differs from the democratic Party is that of universal manhood suffrage; and in regard to this, if he is reported correctly, it is with him an abstract principle and not a practical issue that is intended to come in antagonism with the rights of the States.
