not lklened to by any one, and by show
ing himself before the Executive, and
various important committees, but thus
far his efforts have met with but poor
success. PoMERoY thinks his brilliant
talants have been sighted, and out of re-
venge has arrayed himself with the Anti
Lincoln party, and taken the lead in OPP
position as the Chairman OF a bogus Ma.
tional Executive Committee This com
miuee is not welded to any particular
party, but has been manufactured for
wire pulling purposes by few intrigue
ing politicians who have issued circu-
lar, the substance Of which is contained
in tho following dispatch
"The Cons.itut ional Union newspa
per publishes circular letter which
has fallen into its possession, signed S.
g. PoMERuY, Chairman OF the National
Executive Committee, and marked strict
ly private. The letter sets forth that
those who are responsible for the com
municalion have arrived at the following
conclu sions: First, in relation TO the
rem nomination of President LINCOLN. that
it is practically impossible against the
influences which will oppose him. Sec
ond. FIRE elected, his tendency towards
compromises and temporary expedients
will become stronger during second
term than the first and the cause of hu
man liberty, suffer proportionateiy, while
the war may continue 10 langulsh during
the whole administration. Third, tina
the patronage Of the Government has
been so rapidly increased and SO loosely
replied As to render the application Of
the one term principle absolutely essen
Ilal to the safety of republican institu,
tons. Fourth, that we find united in
SALMON p. CHASE, more of the qualities
needed in President than are combined
in any other available candidate. Fifth,
that the discussion Of the Presidential
question has developed an unexpected
popularity aud strength in Mr.. CHASE,
and we are satisfied it only needs syste-
matte and faithful effort to develope TO an
tioGs. For this reason Mr.. CHAsE's
friends have determined on measures to
present his claims fairly and a. once to
The country.
If these objects meet your approval
YOU can render efficient aid by the organ
izalion Of your sections OF the country,
and By corresponding with the Chairman
Of the National Executive Committee"
Mr.. CHASE, it seems, is SErH's favor
lie. That Mr.. CHASE, is exceedingly
popular throughout the country, no one
will attempt to deny, while the consum-
mate ability with which he has conduct
ed our financial affairs should entitle
him 10 the praise of all parties. Bntthe
people have their own views on this
mstGr, and five mistake not, will arrive
Mt the conclusion that CHASE can do
more and better service where he is for1
his country than in any other position
The same can also be said Of General
GRANT. No definite objection can be
urged against the re election Of Mr.. LIN
COLIN, and lis opponents are forced 10
resort 10 the fimsy pretext Of the one
term principle, reasoning with the New
York Tribune, ihat 1T IS the settled ac-
ton OF both political parties that Presi-
dent in Office has not been reelected
unless under the pressure of extraordin-
aTy circumstances" This is all gam
mon. One would suppose, from this
talk about the "one term principle" -
that the Constitution expressly prohibit.
ed mans being president more than
four years, however much the people
may prefer him TO all other candidates
proposed. The country is laboripg un
der, the pressure of extraordinary cir
cumstances," more momentous than ev-
er before existed in our Republic. We
now have a president in whom The mass
es OF the people repose great confidence
and faith. who is growing mora and more
imbued with honesty integrity and pa.
triotism, and whose ability 10 deal with
any Of The questions that may be brought
before. him, is fully equal to that of any
man that can be elected At this time
of all others when we are struggling for
q National existence, heated political
canvas should be avoided. When a
man has been tried and found as nearly
perfect as. mortal man can be. let US re-
laip him AMI not throw him overheard
simply because presiden; has not been
reelected since the days OF JACKSON
This IS Mr. GREELEY's oryumentum aa
tondnem appeal 10 Mr.. LrscoLs, in the
New fort iadsrsndeat:
