meets in New-York, to desccrate the 4tt
Gay of July, it will have such task in exhum
ing political mummies for candidates. a:
already excites the derision and scorn of the
people. There are sixteen aspirants, anC
out of this long list but one has the requ
site ability, and that man was recently a
Republican The list is as follows: Haight
and Field, of California; English, of Con
necticntf -Hendricks, Of InGianai Adams
of Massachusetts; Blair, Jr, of Missouri
Parker, of New Jersey Mcclellan, Seymour
Nelson and O'Conner, of New York; Chase
syNania; johnson. of Tennessee; and
Doolittle, of Wisconsin.
Among the candidates not mentioned arc
jeff. Davis, Breckenridge, Toomhs, Slitlell,
Lee, Beauregard, Brick Pomeroy, John Nor
rissey and others.
The current, which set towards Chase,
has been checked. 1t is understood that he

give him platform of universal suffrage
and universal amnesty. Ye gods and little

hargain and what a sell !! .---< -
Now, if Mr.. Chase he 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
Wade will 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
uniuersal amnesty There are Union men
in North Carolina, cooperating with tile
rebels, because Of their prejudices against
the negro, who are open to the memories of
the war, the presentations 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-
babe.
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
4 York riots Blairs father tried to save the
necks of Davis and Benjamin-he, himself,
has military fame, has closely followed An
drew johnson, and is understood to be
copperhead of the deepest dye. Hancock
has been distinguished by the special COM
Incubation of johnson, has a fair military
name is a friend to rcbelsin his district, and
lacks craftsmanship, which is a high recon-
Incubation to his party.
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 lie did to the Republi-
CAN and start third party, of which like
the Grand Monarch of France he can say
/" am the State"
Pendieton has bad odor about him. His
skirts are not clear on the question of repu-
diation. The democratic party cannot yet
face that crime against God and country, in
the hope of success. While they wish to
nominate an infexib!e democrat, they dare

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

which will attend the Convention, should
choose respectable candidate. They will

let them go on. 1t is the last scene of their

with Pierce, and was obscured in blood by
