How WILL THE DEMOCRATS STAND ?-The
Democratic party is az much divided on plat
form as on candidate. Prominent members
OF the party in this section whom we have con-
Vefsed with recently, men of the strongest pro-
slavery pro-rebet anti-debt,paying, anti bond
holding principles, declare for Judge Chase
with as much seeming earnestness as if thew
had been as consistent g Radical as Chase him.
self. Until very recently such heterodoxical
ideas could not have entered their heads
The movements of the whole party, except
some OF the more consistent COpperheads of
the Fallandlgham stripe, are advocating polit-
cal contradictions. Or they have resolved TO
give up principle for the sake of policy. Many
OF the party in this town who advocate Chase
are only doing so because they believe a Con
perhead cannot be elected They are Pendle-
ton men advocating Chase on a policy nlat.
form. Very many are nOn-committaI. their
c3ndldate being amy nun who can beat the
Radicals, Thus Chase is given a negative
preferment,
1t Is not thought now, that the Chase move
ment will succeed, especially since the New
York W0rM so unexpectedly threw him over.
board on Monday, lat the solicitation of nrom.
lnent Democrats at Washington but whether
1t does or not, It has shown the utter confusion
OF the party. The policy Of the party and the
principles of the man seem so entirely at vari.
ance, - vi. j. jissimilar in their nature and
tendencies, that nothing short of miracle
1t would seem. could establish harmony be-
tween taeu. ".. Fl movement has increased
50 rapidly slnce It's first inception that it can
hardly fail to have ? marked influence upon
the party,
On one OF the main issues of the Democratic
party-the negro qucstiOn-Judge Chase has
never occupied an ambiguous position. Last
Fall ne stumped the South in favor of unyer-
sal suffrage, and now tells the negro Harris.
OF South Carolina, that he has never gone
down to any party, but that they (the Demo.
crats) must come to him. Therefore whatever
change there is, or may be, is a Democratic
advance to the Chief Justice. Men of inAu
ence and position are engaged in the move
ment and prominent Democratic Journals are
advocating it. Tho World, so enthusiastic
had 1t become in his support that 1t gave
quasi argument in favor Of negro suffrage last
week. of which we give an extract elsewhere
in this issue. Men all over the country are
falling into line, and, without regard to their
own views or the yiaws of the Chief Justice,
are ready to support him,
How is the party going to stand? Is it 60
ing to establish principles upon which its can
didate must stand, or will its candidate estab-
lsh principles upon which the party must
stand? Is it to work for the establishment of
certain great principles of national polity, or
merely for the spoils of office? Will it accent
the issues settled by the war, or ignore them
as in '64-adopt Bourbon platform and nom
iqate. candidate whose record contradicts it?
