y When the pseudo D Democratic Convention
meets in Newly York, 10 desecrate the 4th
Gay of July, it will have such a task in exhum-
ing political mummies for candidates, as
already excites the derisiVl and scorn of the
people o There are sixteen aspirants, and
out. of this long list but ole has the requi-
site ability, and that mani was recently a
Republican The list is asfollows: Haight
and Field, of California English, of Con-
necticut;; Hendricks, Of Indiana Adams,
of Massachusetts,; Blair, Ir., of Missouri;
Parker, of New Jersey; Mcclellan, Seymour.
Nelson and O'Conner, of New York; Chase
and Pendleton, of Ohio hancock, of Penn
sylvania johnson. 6 Tennessee; and
Doolittle, of Wisconsin, So, -,
Among the candidates not mentioned are
JEFF. Davis, Breckenridge, Toombs, Slidell,

The current, which set towards Chase,
has been checked 1t is understood that lie
lays down this provlso i he accept the
nomination, the democrats and rebels must
give him platform of universal suffrage
and universal amnesty. Ye gods and little
salmons This is tribuation What a
bargain and what sell! r., .7t tgl
Now, if Mr.. Chase be nominated, the de-
mocracy will lose half the Irish vote. and all
the negro vote, for that will stand by the
Republican party against any one man in
America. Horace Greeley, Thaddeus Ste
vens, Chas. Sumner Henry Wilson and Ben
Madewill do the work for Mr.. Chase among
the colored people of the South: In the
meanwhile the rebels having yielded negro
suffrage, the Republicans can poll ten thou
sand more white votes in the clear against
unigerSal amnesty. There are Union men
in North-Carolina, co-openting with the
rebels, because of their prrjudices against
the negro, who are open to the memories of
the war, the prevarications and prosecutions
of the rebels and who hate the secession
democratic party only less than they hate
the cOlored man. Mr. Chase is weak man
in North Carolina and the South, on his
platform and we say this, because we be-
lieve his nomination to be highly impro-
bable.
But Seymour, Blair and Hancock seem to
be the strongest men. Seymour has hold
upon rebel affections, owing to his copper
head course during the war and the New
York riots. Blair's father tried to save the
necks of Davis and Benianin-hc, himself,
has military fame, has clo,ely followed An
drew johnson, and is understood to be a
copperhead of the, dorprss- dye. HalrvoUil
has been distinguished by The special COM
mendation of johnson, has fair military
name. is friend to rebels in his district, and
lacks statesmanship, which is high recon-
mendation to his party. N.Y..
Between the upper and neither milestone,
the claims of Andy will be ground to pieces
He will then no doubt turn traitor to the
Democratic party as he did to the Republi-
can, and start third party, of which like
the Grand Monarch of France he can say
So am the State" 7''i."' HeETa "7'.a
Pendleton has bad odor about him. His
skirts are not clear on the question of repu-
diation. n The democratic party cannot yet
face that crime against God and country in
the hope of success. While they wish to
nominate an inhexib,e democrat, they dare
not take one who runs the theories of their
party to a logical conclusion. Pendle-
ton will not do in this capacity and we
doubt his availability as a candidate.
Among these numerous aspirants, it will
he miracle if the disorganized delegations
which will attend the Convention, should
choose respectable candidate. They will
be constantly overawed by the name Of
Grant, depressed by defeats. and burdened
with sense of their crimes and guilt. But
let them 60 on. 1t is the last scene of theil
political panorama. The glory of the con
Germ, which they represent, passed away
with Pierce, and was obscured in blood by
the timorous treachery of Buchanan. since
that day, like a serpent it has crawlet
through the Shiny morass of treason, and il
now making its last struggle to escape th'
talons of the avenging falcon, which hov
ers overhead. 1t will die a miserable death.
Plucked from the soil of its birth by th
swift bird, it will be torn to pieces in mid
air and devoured. The copperhead j
crawling to its DOOM like the old serpen
within the gates of perdition.
