The late foreign Journals, from The United
states, Indicate that the political or patty
cauldron is beginning to bubble. The cir.
q around II are as full Of diab,ery as ever
met in an assemblage Of evil genii. Chase,
the Financial Secretary of Lincoln, leads %"
the black spirits in rebellion against MS
master. His party is Organized anu raw
Just put forth an address, signed - I
Senator Pomeroy, ''Charman oil the N"'i
Executive Committee" calling on s"o't
friends In the country to get ready iof me
campaign with ali possible cxpedi'i"''
This artful address, worthy Of the most IN
sinuating and permca'ing Yankee, accuses
Lincoln and his friends with endeavoTl"y,
BY "parfy machinery and official iri'd-
eoce," to "forcstall the political ac.ioa OF
the people," and thus forcing those who
sxonscienfiostsly believe that the intercs'i OF
the country demand change In favor OF
vigor and purity ard nationality" to ca er
the field at once, to secure "a fair discu .on
Of free principles
This address assumes, LIST That Mr.. LII
coin cannot be elected against the unicl, OF
forces that will oppose him. 81. That,
should he be re elected, his temporizing ami
compromising policy will grow strol ger
during his second term, while the war will
languish and the public debt become ruen-
durable. 3. That the rapid increase an'! inc
loose dispensation of the patronage q the
Government renders the application OF the
one term principle absolutely essential 10

tions."D 4. Tha: in Salmon p. Chase is
embodied all the high qualities for President
and for the times, and his private chala, Ter
is guarantee for ECONOMY and pnri'Y in
the management of public affairs" Aud, ).
That developments already made Of rub.ic
sentiment leave no doubt OF the election Of
Chase, if Systematic and faithful effort"
be made by his friends. This impudeHt ad~
dress concludes By asking the cooperation
In the support of Chase of MI who are in
"favor of the speedy restoration Of The
Union upon the basis Of universal freedom,
and who desire an administration OF The
Government during the first period OF It's
new life which shall, to the fullest extent,
develop the capacity Of free institutions,
enlarge the resources of the country, ,iiL.jn-
ish the burdens Of taxation, elevate The
standard of public and private morality, in
dictate the honor Of the Republic before The
world, and In all things MAKE chr American
nationality the fairest example for imitation
which human progress has ever achieved"
See the "circular" in another column.
Thus concludes the address Of the party
who condemns Lincoln for not being brutal
and bloody enough in his war Oh the South
party whose compeers fer hypocrisy and
villainy cannot be found outside Of The in.
fernal regions.
Where Seward, the arch feud, is to range
himself in the grand combat Of the angels,
is not exactly settled. He will likely stand
by Abe, if some new phase of tha nasap~ipn
should not open door to him which does
not now excite his hope.
Fremont is, of course, a candidate OF the
German radicals, the bran bread and s0cial- .
ist color fraternizing politicians, male and !
female. He has written n letter a3sailiug
Lincoln for injustice to himself and for Das! |
management of the war. |:
Bennett calls all these parties, including |
old Abe's, as factions y In its financial |
article, it gives Chase side wind by de- |
nOuncing his financie,ing, complaining that |.
he has endeayored to sustain the credit Of |
the Government by borrowing and by piper !;
issues, until he is ''Iikely to bring ruin on |
the country" by the weight OF the public |
debt. 1t says that this is attracting attcn- |
ton and exciting complaints even among
Republican Journals" 1t calls for q heavy
direct tax as the only thing to save the |
country from the ruin Chase has nearly |
brought upon it.
The Herald is Of opinion that the only sal
walton of the country from "dem oraizino,
dangerous, and revolutionary scrub race" is
for the people to unite upon Grant for Presi-
dent and Dix for Vice President, with Gen.
Mcclellan identified with them rs the Cen
eral-in-Chief of the Federal army! There
will be great manGuvripg now for the nolni.
nation of the Republican National Conycn
ton. Chase has the bulk OF the Federal
Congress, no doubt, on his side. What Ct
feet his new attitude is TO have on his rela
tiOns in the Cabinet and on the movements
In Congress, remains to be seen Tsa il
will have its disturbing influences, there
can be little doubt.
For the p.csent, the hold end lncguiyocai
