A spirited convention of Israelites was held on the 2ist instant at the Thirty-ninth street temple. ‘Twenty-three out of twenty-seven congregations were represented by delegates. An Executive Com- mittee was appointed to take action upon the foliow- ing resolutions, which were adopted:— Whereas the observance of the Sabbath as a day of rest and abstinence from worldly occupation, and as a oor to be devoted to religious worship, is one of the principal tenets of Judiasm; and Whereas the oo disregard of this Lada ge as practised now by a large numver of Jews, will lead to an utter neglect of our whole religion and endan- ger the perpetuation of those principles for which our nation has struggled since its existence, Resolved, That we deem it our duty to take ener- getic steps against the violation of this important re- ligious institution and devise means for the general observance of the Jewish Sabbath. Resolved, That we deem it the duty of every Israe}- ite to contribute to this noble mission, not only by himself abstaining from business on the Sabbath, but bs endeavoring to induce his brethren, by persua- lo conscience, meet and fight together.

The Rev. Mr. Wilson finds, as it were, a full ora parish with all its cares and yet no adequate place for supplying its demands. Before winter the new church will be so far completed as to allow of using the basement, which will be every way an improvement on the temporary building now in use. ‘The congregation of St. Stephen’s, Twenty-eighth street, in addition to the beautiful music with which Dr. Berge beguiles their distracted ears, are looking earnestly to coming autumn when the Rev. Dr. Mc- Glynn promises them a sight of the rare work now being executed by Signor Bru- midi. This artist, whose frescoes in the Capi- this. and can say too, the isionalist, Methodist, and the ap fr an the Episcopalian—all can unite in @aying that Popery inust not be endowed; and if all ‘wnite in saying so it will assuredly be impossible to endow it. We would earnestly recommend a na- tional declaration to that effect—the holding of a Freat Protestant convocation, composed of delegates im all the Protestant churches of the empire, to give a decisive ‘No’ to all projects for the endow- ment of Popery. Without some such step we may be assured that in a short time we shall see the Romish religion endowed. e Observer adds:—Uur State, our whole Seats @ught to be awakened to the subject; and it is worthy of serious consideration if it would not bé ‘weil to gather a delegated convention of Protestants from ail parts of the country, to consider the en- eroachments of Popery upon the republican institu- tions of the United States.

The London Jewish Record ‘contains the following account of a recent Hebrew festival in that ‘city:— Last week was celebrated in all our synagogues the beautiful and ever welcome festival of Shevuoth, the annivergary of the day which beheld the revelation of the divine law on Mount Sinai. Nearly thirty-two centuries have elapsed since God spake amid thun- dering and lightning, amid earthquake and convul- sion, those ten words which form the basis of every civilized religion. ‘The dicta intended for the moral guidance of the whole world were first made obli tory upon the Jews, and became the nucleus of that le of religious, moral and social laws, the wisest, the noblest, the greatest and the best the world eoming under the secret, m: and fatal indueuce | has ever seen.

Others strive to show that the Mosaic code is the work of several authors,holding different views and separated from each other by long generations, We do not at present purpose to combat these views; we hope in another column to present to our readers some refiec- tions upon these important questions, When Judea was & sovereignty and Jerusalem its capital; when the Israelites were independent and Possessed of country and self-government; when the Temple stood on Moriah, and the priesthood ministered be- fore the Most High—three times in the year did every male present himself before God, on’ the festivals of Pesach, Shevuoth and Succoth. From the re- motest portions of the Boly Land they made these Pligrimages to Zion, bearing with them of the Spodly things of the earth for gift ana sacrifice.

We occupied a position where we saw how ‘the whole feeling ran. After the third ballot, when it became necessary for the scattering votes to con- centrate on some one, and the choice seemed to lay between Wade and Colfax, we saw how delegates were induced to turn their votes from the former to She latter, by the representation that Mr. Wade was horribly profane, very coarse in Manners, and, although not a drunkard, a hard @rinker. The feeling against the defeat of the Presidential impeachment was so strong and the impression so general that Senators were led to vote against it because of hatred to Mr. Wade—whether plete and in position.

But it inay be urged by the same objectors. these things are ‘of the past. They are but @ remembrance, a dim reminiscence. No Joyous pilgrims now wend their way to Jerusalem, no altar smokes, no incense sends forth its fragrant cloud, The temple is no more, and with it have departed the joy and the feast, the mirth and the gladness.’”’ Not so; these festivals still form centres round which are gathered our happiest hours, The joy may be somewhat saddened by the recollection of the past, the feast may be somewhat shorn of the noble proportions it bore in olden days; still we do rejoice. We still Sore the festive board. We have lost the temple, but we have still the synagogue. For the sacrifice we have the prayer, for incense we have the heart’s devotion, for the wheaten loaf we We deck the house of God with flowers. In our homes, too, we keep the festival. We cease from work, the family circie is united, the friend is wel- sober, self-controlled and gentlemanly men should be pat into offices of trust. We rejoice at this evi- @ence of improving morals.

WASHINGTON, June 22, 1868, The efforts now being made to rally the conserva- tive clement of the country in one grand effort to rescue the government from the hands of those who have eo grossly misused its powers during the past four years must meet with the hearty endorsement of every citizen who holds at heart the future prosperity and success of our institutions, The vindication of the national character of our constitution against the theory maintained by the secessionists of 1860 led to the organization of @ powerful political element in the country which stood ready to defend its principles in the legitimate and peaceful means of legislation if possible, or in the clash of contending armies if ne- cessary. This element, arrayed against the heresies which sprung out of the slave oligarchy of the South, concentrated in its operations the support of the greatest and the beat intellects in the land, recurrence to the events which preceded the uprising of the loyal people of the North when the gage of battle was fairly placed before them will bring to mind the names of many who previously had constituted the directing Influence of the demo- cratic party. Foremost among those who turned from the restraints of party to the broader fleld of statesmanship, which saw in the contest about to be inaugurated but the alternatives of a subversion of the democracy of our instituttons or the vindication before the world of the strength and permanency of republican government, was the man who now figures in the eyes of the nation as the embodiment of all those great qualities necessary in the leader of the great movement looking to the complete rehabi- litation of our governmental affairs upon @ durable basis, That man is Salmon P. Chase. The Chief Justice, as is known, heartily sympathizes with the efforts being made to place the reins of government in the hands of those who will prove more capable of the important responsibility of en- forcing the constitution and the laws im the spirtt of moderation designed by that instrument.

Some shallow-pated politicians take great delight. in displaying their ignorance by attacking the record or Chief Justice Chase as inconsistent with the de- mocratic creed. This class belongs to that factious element without which the democratic party ere this would have made great strides to a repossession of political power. Mr. Chase belonged to that enlight- ened class of democrats who took issue with the party because it was evident to him as well as to thousands of others that the party had deserted its principles or failed in its mission. The experience of the party during the past eight years has brought, it is to be hoped, a sufficient number of its leaders up to the opportunities of the present in order to control the party operations of the coming cam- paign. = A review of the career of Chief Justice Chase elicits the fact that not only has he always been con- sistent in his political views, which were of the genu- ine Jeffersonian stamp, but he has also been identified throughout with all the progressive and popular leg- islative measures of his day. In regard to his political views, in a letter printed in 1849, also in the Congressional Giobe of 1850, Mr. Chase says:— I am a@ democrat unreservedly, and I feel ear- nestly solicitous for the success of the democratic or- ganization and the triumph of its principles, Fhe doctrines of the democracy on the subject of trade, currency and special privileges command the entre assent of my judgment. But I cannot, while bol asserting their principles with reference to th subjects, shrink from their just application to slavery. On the question of slavery he made use of the fol- lowing language in a letter to Daniel O'Connell in November, 1843:— ‘The (federal) Convention, therefore, did not think fit to confer any express power on the national Con- gress to abolish slavery in the States by direct legis- lation. They recognized the fact that slavery exist- ed in some of the States in several constitutional provisions; but they were careful to exclude all re- cognition of its rightfulness, and to vest in Congress no power to establish or continue it anywhere. Slavery is, therefore, under the constitution, strictly the ¢ ure of State legislation. No person, under any act of Congress, can be constitutionally reduced to slavery. No person, under any act of Congress, can be constitutionally held as a slave for a single moment anywhere within the range of exclusive na- tional jurisdiction. Again, in a letter written in 1849 Mr. Chase said:— The free democracy believe in non-intervention with slavery, such asthe constitution requires; non- intervention by Congress with the legislation of the States on the subject of Lethe 2 In aspeech in the Senate March 26 and 97, 1450, Mr, Chase said. that the responsibilities of Congress were limited by its powers, and added, ‘We have no power to legislate on the subject of slavery in the States, * Our Sey, is, therefore, to ab- stain from interference with it in ft States, “ * * ‘Texas came in in 1845, not as a Territory, but as a State. Within her linvite slavery Was never under the control of Congress, The existence of slavery there was an objection to her admission into the Union; but once admitted, aud admitted a8 a State, her internal jegisiation on that subject was as much beyond the reach of the national government as befor I shall steadily support ali proper legislation for the estab- lisament and security of freedom in the Territories and elsewhere within the sphere of exclusive na- tional jurisdiction, I shall as steadily refuse my support to all legislation on the subject of slavery Within the States,’* Iu the homestead movement Mr. Chase took a leading part. His policy in these measures will be seen by the foliowing extract:— Mr. Chase presented resolutions of the Ouio Legie- lature in favor of the enactment of a law granting lands to actual settlers, Mr. Chase said he had presented no resolutions daring his term of service with more unfeigned pleasure than these, ‘I fully accord with their whole doctrine. * * ‘They pro- pose to arrest the disposition of the public lands by sale, They propose, what is of more importance at the present moment, the free grant of the public lands to actual settlers in the several States where the lands lie, A more beneficent, a more wise, a more just measure, in my judgment, has never been commended to the consideration of the American Congress. Upon all occasions I shall give it my hearty support; and [ rejoice that the Legislature of my own great State has been the first to recommend it, by a strong vote, to the National Legislature. Mr. Walker, of Wisconsin—Wisconsin is alead of ou id Mr, Chase—My friend from Wisconsin suggests that his State is ahead of Ohio in this respect. i am not sorry to hear it.—Jn Senate, Dec. 13, 1862. On the Sd of March, 1853, during the same session Mr. Chase made an appeal for action upon the Home- stead bill:— “No vote has yet been taken,’ he said, ‘which fu nishes a fair expression of the Senate upon thai great measure. It is dear to the hearts of avae, number of the people of the country. It is dear to my own heart, and I am extremely anxious the Senate shall actuponit. * * I wanta vote upon the bill; a plain, honest, direct vote.’ On the subject of land reform Mr. Chase made use of these Words:— Laball always be ready to contribute my humble ald to every proper measure to secure land for the landless and an inviolable home for every family.— jarch 6, 1860, I think the true policy of the government ts to give the public lands to actual settlers.—June 25, When the subject of cheap postage came up Mr. Chase at once saw in tho measure great good to society by bringing the people of different parts of the country in more frequent communion. The Measure accordingly received his hearty support. J The proposition petory the Benalp wap to reduce thy | a rate of postage from three centa on prepaid letters ‘and five cents on unpaid letters to two cents, to be Prepaid in all cases. Mr. Chase said:— It is objected that there is danger In this e: }- ment; that the Post OMce Department will il to sustain iteelf for @ limited time. I donot think the one, It may be recollected, and ted, that every one of the predic- ‘made in regard to this experiment to the experiment in reduction thought then that we were too but the MN gpctget ‘triumph- ant that experiment e conse- fence which were anticipated for it by its friends ave been reaiized, and not one of the evil conse uences which were by ite antagonists has been realized. Ihave not the slightest doubt from my @: of the subject, that if caves, a "Re adopted bee Dongress. the’ result will be indefinitely more for the Treasury than the adoption of the intxed Fate of three cents prepaid and five cents unpaid. I prefer the three cent rate to the mixed ; but if we have a two cent rate we will much better the people at large and certainly do better for the jury of the country. Mr. Chase also urged the adoption of cheap rates for newspapers.—Senate, Feb. 18, 1851. On @ bill regulating discipline in the navy Mr. Chase said:— Icannot agree by my vote to sanction a punish- ment which places on the breast or anywhere on the person of an American sailor a badge of dishonor— the epithet “thief.” Nor can I consent to sanction any such punishment as the “ball and chain.” It will be observed that this punishment is not to be in~ flicted at sea, but in port, where it is most conspicu- ous and most di rs 2 The amendments which have been offei to this bill are anythinggbut amendments, They are the reverse of amend- ments, They make that which was harsh and severe enough much more harsh and muel more severe. One of these amendments authorizes the commander of any vessel in the navy or of any shore station to punish offences without @ court martial, without investigation; but summarily and upon his own motion—by diminish- ing the rations, by restricting the diet to bread and water, by imposing extra police and other dutles— and in case of theft, in addition to any one of these punishments, by making d from the wages of the offender to the owner the value of the article or articles stolen and obliging the offender to wear for any time not exceeding ten days a badge with the word “thief” thereon. The first of these punish- ments is the imposition of ‘extra police and other duties,” How lal avariety of punishments may be inflicted under this single provision, and how en- larged 18 the range of discretion which 1t confers upon the officers in command! ‘This is a power too extensive, too arbitrary, too dangerous to be ranted. The other of these punishments to which desire to call attention is that of obliging the offender to wear a badge with the word “thief? thereon. The object of all punishment ts reforma- tion; at any rate reformation ought to be its obje and it seems to me that to the other various punis! ments authonzed by this act and the amend- ments it is worse than superfluous to add @ punishment which 1s, in its nature, so dishonorable and degrading. Sir, a man rie be attacked and degraded, not by punishment inflicted on the body only, but on the spirit also, and in my judgment the former ts less humiliating than the latter, Icannot, therefore, concur by my vote in the adoption of a law which authorizes a punish- ment of this character. Mr. Chase also advocated every legitimate encour- agement to the spread of American enterprise. On the bill to provide a mail line between New Orleans and Vera Cruz:— I think Senators on former occasions have shown by their liberality, when their own sections have not been concerned, that they are not governed by sec- tional considerations in thelr action, My friend from Texas (Mr. Rusk) has adverted to the circum- stance that the steam lines which have hitherto been established by Congress plied on Northern waters, and that the benetits of such a system accrued gen- erally to the North, * * The shortest lines of water transit always command the commerce, and the shortest lines being from Northern ports the Northern steam lines, obeying the laws of the commerce they convey, must principally be there. But when there is a line proposed between two Southern points, 1 trust Northern men will be as pepcane in voting for every proper measure for the benefit of Southern commerce as ‘they are for the benefit of thelr own.—Senate, March 31, 1852. As a recognition of his sympathy with democratic principles Mr, Chase gave utterance to the following eloquent tribnte to Thomas Jefferson:— In Senate, March 26, 1850, Mr. Chase observed that he did mot know that any monument had been erected over the grave of Mr. Jevferson. Mr. Seward said there had been, and quoted the inscription:— ‘Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, of the statute of Vir- ginia for religious freedom and father of the Uni- versity of Virginia.” Mr. Chase—No monumental marble bears a nobler name. The inscription is appropriate, and worthily commemorates distinguished services. But, Mr. President, if a stranger from some foreign land should ask me for the monument of Thomas Jeffer- son I would not take him to Virginia and bid him look upon a granite obelisk, however admirable in its proportions or inscriptions. 1 would ask him to accompany me beyond the Alleghanies inio un broad = Northwest, and would -, to hita:—Behold on every side his monument! Ther thronged cities, these Ga fitheaa 7 villages, these cultivated ficlds, these million happy homes of prosperous freemen, these churches, these schoois, these asylums for the unfortunate and the helpless, these Institutions of education, of religion and humanity, these great States—great in their present resources, but greater far in the mighty energies by which the resources of the future are to be developed— these, these are the monuments of Jefferson. His memorials over all our Western land. Our meanest rill, our mightiest river, Koil mingling with his fame forever. These extracts from the oMcial acts of Mr. Chase as a Senator clearly point out his uniform co;opera- tion with the democratic party. To accept him as their candidate would not only be consistent with their duty to the nation, but to themselves as a party. THE CHASE MOVEMENT. A Now Orleans Picayune’s Correspondent on Chase. (New York (June 16) correspondence of the New Or- leans Picayune. ‘The feeling in favor of Mr, Chase is still spreading, and among all candid persons he is admitted to be thé only candidate under whose name the democracy can hope to triumph, and he is, at the same time, the only candidate whom the radicals dread. I have con- versed with quite a number on this subject, and I find this to be the feeling almost without an exception. ‘There is a class, however, of whom the Day Book is a fair represedtative type, who denounce the pro- posed nomination of the f Justice in no measured terms. They cannot swallow his principies, and here is where the shoe pinches. They would go into the ht with an out and out recognized democrat, one who believed that this was still a “white man’s gov- ernment,” and who would frown upon the doings of the Jacobins in and out of Congress, as 80 much madness, to be ripped up to its inmost depth. But could they elect such a candidate? The best statesmen in the party—the very men whom they would honor with the nomination—say they cannot elect such aman; and, If this be so, what insufferable nonsense to commit poiitical suicide the second time! The faim now should be to whip the radicals and drive them from power, and if Mr, Chase is the man who can do ft, is it not policy to make him the standard bearer? Through the columns of a prominent South Carolina journal one of its editors has been telling the whole truth with reference to Mr. Chase's great popularity with the democratic masses, and has owned up that he is the last hope of the democracy. There aré three elements most potent in Mr. Chase's favor. There are others; but these are most promi- nent, and no other candidate could control them. ‘They are the national bank interest, the vondholding interest and the Me «list Church, In the latter the Chief Justice is a big ) and once the journais of that denomination took up the pen in bis behalf, he would sweep the Church more vigorously than it Was ever swept by @ “revival” in the halcyon days of Johnny Mamit. Chase and the South, NEW ORLEANS, Juue 21, 1568, To 146 Eniton oF Tae HrRaLo:— Our most observing politicians declare that only by the nomination of Chief Justice Chase can the democratic party divide the republican vote (black and white) and carry the Southern States against the Chicago nominees, It is surprising how unanimous is this belief among the substantial classes of our citizens, and how ready and eager they are to open @ vigorous campaign under his leadership. Through him they see almost certainty of victory; with any other name at the head of the ticket not evena chance for success. ‘This very belief will insure a triumpa in the one case and as inevitably work out a defeat in the other. Let the members of the nom! nating Convention give these facts due conside- ration. ‘The Grant organs betray evidence of great alarm at the daily increasing popularity of Mr. Chase. The New Orleans Republican of yesterday opens its batteries of abuse against him, and by the violence and bitterness of ite at- tack shows how much it dreads a fair, open contest between the Chief Justice and @eneral of the Armies. The nomination of Mr, Chase would be the signal for a defection of at least one-third of the re- ublican party of Louisiana, and none know this ‘ter than the political managers who own the are nai referred to. The Crescent (democratic) manifests 4 strong leaning toward Mr, Chase, and the Picayune has not given evidence of the test opposition. The Times alone of the democratic journals o) him, being fully com: wot pport of General Hancock; but this ‘would not I after the action of the Convention in his favor.

Hon. Mr. Washburne Speaks for General Grant, , HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, z WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10, 1868. DFAR S1R—It is idle for the loyal men of the coun- try to attempt to deny the rebel and copperhead lies being put in circulation against Gene! Grant. No sooner would one lie be exploded than another would be put in circulation, No more silly and ridiculous fabrication has been put fortn than the pretended Speech of General Grant to bis regiment in 1861, which’! have seen paraded in some of the most dis- reputable copperhead newspapers. The whole thi is false, there not being the “shadow of a shade” o! foundation for it. Yours truly, D. C. HENDERSON, Esq. The following is the paragraph particularly refer- red to:— “GRANT IN 1861.’’—I am a demoorat, every man in my regiment is a democrat, and when I shall be con- vinced that this war has for its object any other than what I have mentioned, or the government designs using {ts soldiers to execute the purposes of the abo- litionists, I pledge you my honor as & soldier that £ will carry my sword on the other side, and cast my lot with the people, B. WASHBURNE. Ohio Congressional Matters. Three Congressional nominations have thus far been made by the republican party in Ohio, as fol- lows:— Name. William Lawrence. John A, Smith, Nineteenth. +;--James A, Garfleld. Judge Lawrence and General Garfleld are members of the present Congress. Mr. Smith is a new man. In the Seventh district, where the present mem- ber, Judge Shilabarger, is not a candidate for re- election, about a dozen candidates will be presented. In Franklin county there are now but three candi- dates—L. J. Crichfleld, E. E. White and Mr. Donald- son. Greene county presents ex-Asseasor Barrett and. Colonel Coates Kinney. Clarke seems to be rather quiet, while Madison would like to have ex-Governor Dennison, and would give him its support if there was any certainly about his accepting the nomi- nation. In the Seventeenth district Colonel Ed. Schneider is ahead for the nomination, having the unanimous support of Stark county, the largest in the district, It is practically certain that Hon. Ben. Eggleston, in the First district; R. C. Schenck, in the Third; John Beatty, in the Eighth; J. M. Ashley, im the Tenth; J. T. Wilson, in the Eleventh; Martin Welker, in the Fourteenth; T. A. Plants, in the Fifteenth, and John A. Bingham, 1n the Sixteenth, will be renomi- nated. POLITICAL NOTES. ‘The Albany Argus (democratic organ) is out ina powerful article tn favor of Chase. In a short time the question will be not what democratic papers are for Chase, but what are against him? The New York correspondent of the Bostoh Adver- tiser says “the Chase movement seems to be gaining head once more,” despite the opposition of the cop- perhead press, The same authority announces that the California delegation will go for Chase, and that more than half the Southern democrats who come here express their deliberate judgment that Mr. Chase is the man to win, at feast in their section of the country. The Columbia (S. C.) Planix has improved upon the old copperhead slang-whang, “This is a white man’s government,”’ by adding “And decent negroes may come in.”” A fire-eating candidate for oMice down South was asked his opinion on negro suffrage. “Oh, d——n the niggers.* They should not be allowed to vote at all."” “Yes, Colonel, but about five hunared of them in your district want to vote the democratic ticket.”’ “Oh, ab { Yes—yes—very well. That makes ail the difference in the world.” The Raleigh (N. C.) Sentinel thinks the following ticket for the democrats would be the least vulnera- ble:—For President, Thomas A. Hendricks, of In- diana; Vice President, John T. Hoffman, of York, A patent drinkabie dog muzzie is among the latest inventions introduced in Washington for the benefit of radical candidates, The Philadelphia /*ress remarks that in speaking of the remarkable mental vigor of the Hon. Thad- deus Stevens the newspapers seem to forget that Horace Binney and Wm. M. Meredith, of this city, famous ali over the civilized world for learning in statesmanship and law, are both living and in perfect heaith. Mr. Binney was eighty-eight on the 4th of January last, and Mr. Meredith is not far from Mr, Stevens’ age. The difference between these aged politicians is that while the mental ener- gies of Binney and Meredith have been exercised for the gogd of the nation, Thad Stevens’ powers have been devoted to theglestruction of constitutional goverument, He isa living Mephistopheles without a tail, although he has at least one (silver) forked follower. Adespatch states that the President is urged to issue a proclamation of general amnesty on the Fourth of July. That is the day on which every American ought to feel und know that he is inde- pendent. The eaitor of the Mobile Register saya if be had the nowination of a dem tic candidate in the holiow of bis hand George H. Pendleton would be the next President, Chase would beat that nosiination, all holiow, and make no poor fst of it either. People are beginning to find out who Hendricks A Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Com- mercial says he is “the coming man." Weil, let him come on, a8 Spartacus would say, ‘we're armed.” Acorrespondent of the Cinctanati Bnqutrer (red hot Pendie'on) cautions that paper not to be alarmed about the Chase fever, Old sinners never fear any sort of fever until they are apon their death beds, The Louisville Democrat saya “siranger things have happeued than thai of the nomination of Gov- ernor J. W. Stevenson, of Kentucky, for Vice Presi- dent.” The Oneida Despatch (radical) strikes out for Gen- eral Dan. £. Sickles as the radical candidate for Goy- ernor of this State. Tt seeme that Judge Busteed does not go for Chage. ‘Therefore Chase is not busted. One of our religious exchanges says Ben Wade was rejected as radical candidate for the Vice Presidency because the delegates desired that only “sober, self- controlied and gentlemanly men should be put into omer That's the reason they pitched on Graat, The Memphis Appeal says of the Chase move- ment:—''We have heard that Catholic sailors, tired of fish and eggs, if they lad eggs to eat, during Lent, had a habit of fastening a ham to a line, letting it over the ship’s side into the and drawing it up again, repeating the formula, ‘Down gammon, up salmon,’ after which they could eat without need- ing absolution or doing penance. No other process, we think, cam make @ democrat out of Saimon P. Chase.” Governor Banks speaks in Knoxviile, Tenn., onthe Fourth of Juiy. Hon, Horace Maynard, of Tennessee, writes that he wil not deciine @ renomination to Congress if ten- dered him, The Baitimore American (radical) considers the nomination by the President of Henry A.
