End Of an Interesting Farley.

The World, which, as it remarks,
/ 1didnot object to a parley" with the
! Chief Jus tice, this morning an
nounces, with flourish of trumpets, the
| end of the truce, and decision against
/ Mr.. Chase. it has evidently received
| its instructions from the managers of
| that section of the democratic party
whose organ it Is and these have de-
termined to cast overheard Mr.. Chase,
and not only him, but his political
/ principles. The World says:
It is creditable to the manliness and
1 integrity of this distinguished states
man that the recent proposal of some
preClpitate democrats and sensational
| journals to nominate him for the Pres
idency had not caused him to sWerve
from the principles he has always held,
nor to practice the least coneealment
respecting the persistent irmness with
which he adheres to them. There has
never been any likelihood that he
would receive the democratic nomina-
ton; but the political gossip on that
subject rendered it proper that he
should make it evident to all the world
that his impartial bearing during the
impeachment trial was not the artifice
of a demagogue.
with the opinions which Nh. Chase
continues to hold, he is by far too sag
aeious and clear sighted a politician to
suppose that the democratic party can
have any serious thought of making
him its candidate for President. While
the party Is compelled to recognise the
existence of many UnWelcome facts
which it cannot reverse, it has not
changed, and cannot change, Its prin-
ciples. The fact that the negroes will
vote in the coming Presidential elect
ion Is a fact which the democratic
party recognises only on compUlsion,
while Chief-J Justice Chase reards it
with more than complacency, with
more than satisfaction, with the Joy
which attends the fulfilment of long
cherished hope. What he has so ar
IDENTIFY desired, the democtatic party
has strenuously resisted and indignant
ly denounced. The democratic party
may be unable to revoke what has been
done; but they certainly are not going
to indorse it, as they would virtually
do By nominating a man who makes it
the cOrner-sto of his political creed. !
There is q great difference between |
submitting 80 the inevitable from sheer |
to withstand it, and placing |
ourselves under the guidance of man |
who has aided IN bringing the evil up /
on US. We should be glad to see |
Chief-J ustice Chase following Mr.. |
Blair and Senator Doolittle into the /
democratic party; but as he regards !
negro suffrage as a blessing instead of /
an atTOciOUs through perhaps IRE trie-
yable blunder, we do not see how he /
and the democratic party can have any
bond of fellowship. We did not OBJ
iect to a parley; but it was certain
from the beginning that the mountain
would not 60 to mohammed, and It
appears that Mohammed will not come
to the mountain, which, steadfast as
the Chief Justice is, would have been
much the easier miracle"
We get here an interesting glimpse of
the Fourth of July platform of the
democratic party, which seems likely
to read: Whereas, all men are born
free and equal and are titled to certain
.nalienable rights, therefore resolved,
that impartial suffrage is an outrage,
an atrocioUs blunder, to be strenuosly
resisted and Indignantly denounced" ."
The democratic managers, according
TO the World, were not unwilling to
Darley with Mr.. Chase but they have
concluded not to have any political
with him. So much the
better, perhaps, for Mr.. Chase certain
y, so much the worse for the demo- ,
,ratic leaders, whose sole chance of
success lay in hearty repentance of !
