y new movement among our political managers is
being developed intended bring forward Chief JUS
ce Chase as the conservative candidate for the Presi
dency. These managers contend that Judge Chase
was originally Democrat of the strictes school, and
seeded from the party the abolition issue. but
that issue is no longer in existence he occupies
fair position to be made available in the next Presi-
dental contest Such is the talk among those who in
great measure run the party machinery and very de-
cided feeling is being created in favor of Judge Chase
as the nominee ofthe Democratic party. In the mean
time the Radicals not backward in expressing their
dstrust of him presiding officer in the court of i'm

game and allow the President to escape.

Mrs. Senator Sprague, daughter of Chief Justice
Chase, had brilliant reception the evening of the
I'D of February, and she astenshed her visitors BY
earnestly advocating the of the President and
opposing Congress, She said unreservedly that she
thought President Johnson right in his entire
controversy with Congress, and that she intended
hereafter to act with the Democratic party in sustain
ing him. She alluded the fact that her husband and
father had zealopsly supported the Republican party
hut she said the time had come to act to save the
Constitution, and she should all her influence for

Hon. J. W. Forney:
Dear Sir have long, and, with such ability as l
could command reflected upon the subject of the Dec
nration OF Independence, and finally have come to the
sincere conclusion that universal suffrage was one of
the nalienabe rights intended to be embraced in that
instrument by fathers at the time of the decara-
ton, and that they prevented from inserting it
in the Constitution by slavery alone, They had no in
ention to abandon it of the finally enumerated
rights, but simply to postpone it. The Committee on
Reconstruction have inserted that provision with great
'nanimity, in the bill admitting the State of Alabama
into the Union. They have finally resolved that no
State shall be admitted into the Union unless under
that condition. ! have deemed this notice necessary
that the States in process of construction or re-
construction may be advised thereof
