While protesting friendship fer Cover

ton as tie candidate for president, Sena-
tor Wade vas his bitter opponent and III
gal. a combination was formed in Cleve-
land to make Wade the nominee, in which
D. X. Carter, at present chief justice of
The supreme court in Washington. and r..
j. Payne, made, by the influence of Wade,
United States attorney for the northern
district Of Ohio, were the two conspira-
tors selected IS delegates to the Chicago
convention. The first programme was to
d feat Chase, and the second-frst with
Wade. Payne and Carter, but second with
the other conspirators-to make Wade
the nominee. In this combination Mr..
Greeley took secondary part,-not as much
to defeat Chase as to annihlate the pros
poets Of Seward, and lending himself to
any scheme that promised success. Had
it not been for Mr. Greeley, the friends OF
Wade that claimed the conspiracy would
have been success. Greeley, represent
ing Oregon in the convention, got scared
at the prospect of Mr. Stewards nOmina-
ton ana ihroW OF on MI Lincoln, and
thus, while he banked the Wade game,
defeated Seward. These are facts which
Dir. Wade will not dare gainsay. As per-
tinent to this oppose, Judge Carter had a
promise from the lips Of Mr.. Lincoln,
soon after the election, through a friend,
tina. he should have a seat in the cabinet
las secretary OF the interior This was
subsequently, thwarted by the exertions of
Nr. Greeley, who, as soon as he ascer-
tanned that Gov. Seward was to be premi;
er member Of the cabinet undertook a
journey 10 Illinois, and there prevailed
upon Mr. Lincoln to SO change the pro-
gramne as to appoint Gov. Chase secreta-
ny Of the treasury, in order, as he pro-
claimed to his friend, that, by his known
talent for intrigue, Chase might check
mate Dir. Seward in is presidential aspi-
ration, and control Of Mr.. Lincoln and his
cabinet Ia this he was success full

It Is not pleasant to contemplate spec
taela Of political power placed in the
hands of class who are entirely unused
to It's exercise. and welded by them with
slaves Of the south are. as a mass, iamil-
lar with the duties or obligations Of citi-
zenship; that they understand the the
cries of politica. economy; that they can
always be expected 70 vote intelligently,
will not be pretended. x. = The
$1,000 or II, 900 negroes who marched ia
procession to the polls Of Tennessee and
elected Parson Brownl0w governor knew
no more of the history and theory of our
Institutions, the laws Of political pailo;o-
ply, or the nature Of the ideas that are
In conflict, than 10 the twenty or thirty
thousand vaga5onds who annually roll up
the vast democratic majority of New
York city. We repeat, it is
most unfortunate that this class is just
now IN limited control Of the south
Is The fact is, that the blacks have
elected conventions; that they have che
ser delegates either men CT their own col
or or the most rabid and ultra whites, and
that the widest theories of political revo-
luton have been proclaimed by those who
presume to be and who are for the time
their leaders. r There is abso-
lutte danger at the south to-day Of CON
illct Of races. The danger is enhanced
by the arrogant attitude of the uItras,
who proclaim, as their watchwords, coufis-
cation. ostracism, and general social rev
Olution. * 4 The people Of the un-
ION do not want the southern states to be
reconstructed entirely by blacks They
are not willing that the ba ance Of polit-
zeal power shall be controlled by the hands
Of negroes. They do not enjoy the pros
peet of having colored officials, elected by
the votes of those who have barely escaped
from an age Of barbarism in slavery, ma
