Chase and his Ambition,

A lady who writes very charming and
withal very sensible letters from Wash
ington to the Lndepsndeut thus touches up
Chief Justice Chase and his hopeless am
bition
"The Chief Justice comes forth from
his robes ofoffice, and arm-in-arm with a
Democratic friend enters his open carriage
and rolls along the avenue His frame is
grand; he sits erect; his gray hair flow
ing back with thewind; a kingly-looking
man. The people exclaim as he passes,
There goes the Chief Justicer and turn
and gaze after the barouche glittering i'll
the sun And the august man sits proud
and conscious as they gaze. The most am
bilious hopes of an ambitious lifetime
again beat strong and assured in his
breast. Once more his Vaccinations seem
to be working towardsa triumphant issue.
The combinations, the plans which he has
originated, managed, held-which time
after time have been baffled and defeated
he now sees quickening once more in
prophetic action, apparently bearing him
on toward the only seat of power which
can satisfy his ambition. Let him fail to
gain this the summit of his desire, and to
him life will be failure. Despite the
kindling of hope, defeat is craven ON his
face and it is craven in his nature. You
will fail, Salmon P. Chase, as every man
must fail who sets his own glory before
him as the sole end of effort and of action
For the man who sacrifices the noblest at
tributes of his manhood to secure his own

Next United States Senator.

1t is quite earlyt to agitate the question of
next U. S. Senator, to succeed Hon. j. X.
Doolittle but since the press in different
quarters persist in naming candidates, we
beg leave to suggest, Hon. A. VANWYcK-
The qualifications which recommend
Judge VanWyck, to the favorable con-
sideration of the people of Wisconsin are
these He is gentlemen accomplished
education and manners-has had the adj
vantages of extensive foreign traTcl, and
large observation of the institutions of
government at home and abroad. His
strict honesty, moral integrity and unex-
ceptional habits of life, cannot be ques-
toned by any He is an able writer, an
accomplished public speaker, and has
thoroughly acquainted himself with the
character Of our American institutions.
His political record during past years, has
been one of unquestioned consistency. Of
his moral character none who know him
can utter word of reproach.
There are doubtless many, who believe
that some of the qualities above named,
are not essential in a Senator, to repre-
sent the State in Congress- They regard
an adroit manager, shrewd wire worker
added to a good degree of laxative
boldness, the chief qualifications for the
position. An unfinching devotion to
principle, and conscientious adherence
to moral right, are looked upon by some,
not as excellencies in legislator, but
rather as hindrances to the accomplish
ment of ends in the political arena OF
Congress. We think otherwise /; the
greater the combination of qualities,
which go to make up the true gentleman
and model man, the more desirable is
such an one, to fill a position of high
trust and responsibility. We therefore
unhesitatingly submit the consideration
of Judge Van Wyck, as proper candl-
date for U. S. Senator. In this connec-
ton, it is proper to say, that our sugges-
ton is made without the knowledge, OF
consultation with Judge VanWyck; his
well known delicacy would have discour-
aged the mention ofhis name by us at this
early period.
P. S.-since writing the above, we no
tice the name of Judge VanWyck for the
position indicated, has already been sug
gested by other journals in the State.

Presidential,

who will be the nominee of the Demo
cratic Convention, is a question involved
in as much uncertainty as weeks ago.
Hitherto Pendleton has seemed to have
the inside track at least greater mum.
Der of delegates chosen to the Conven-
tion, are known to be committed to him,
than there are to any other candidate.
The former National Conventions of the
party have required two thirds vote to
nominate, and if this rule is still adhered
to, it may be difficult to give the nomina-
ton to Pendleton. His strength is almost
wholly in the west the east is not salts.
fed with his financial notions The
movement in favor of Chase, is vigorously
pressed in some quarters. The alb
clifton record of Chase, extends back
for long period; twenty years ago (1S48)
he was Appointment member of the Buffalo
Convention, which nominated Van Buren,
for the Presidency. He has ever since
been identified with the antislavery men
OF the country. How his mind has been
wrought upon, since he failed to be
brought before the late Republican Con
yention at Chicago as candidate, is not
exactly known. 1t is hardly supposable
that two thirds of the delegates, however
pressing the emergency, will face about,
and take the abolition track, after such
long persistent hate Of the negro, and
such professed disgust of anti-slavery
ideas. 1t is published in some of the
Democratic papers east, that Chase Clubs
have been formed in Wisconsin, and that
they are participated in by Republicans
as well as Democrats. This will do per.
haps for political effect abroad, but is
simply ridiculous at the west

For Wool Growers.

The Milwaukee Wool Buyers, have
agreed to be guided by the rules found
below, the present season. We under
stand the buyers at Racine will be gov
erned by the same, and Mr.. Lawrence the
principal Wool buyer at this place desires
us to say, that he will observe the same
rules in the purchase of Wool in this mar
ket.
| To Wool GRowERs-The Wool dealers
of this city have issued the following card:
1--WE again call the attention OF wool
growers to the manner in which their
wool should be put up, and on what con-
ditions we will accept it. The deductions
which we shall make will be :-One-half

One-third on badly cotted and stuffed
feeces Do not attempt to wash your
sheep if you cannot do it well, for we
cannot receive half-washed wool as mer-
charitable and what little dirt you do
take out is clear loss to you. Do not
put unwashed wool inside of feeces, for
we shall condemn the whole fleece as un-

benefit of those who would do it through
ignorance, and to qoarm those achO aooutd
aot{tuJiy do 1t for the purpose Of cheatt7ag IN
Il small doay. We cannot spend time to
open all stuffed tleeces, and we shall look
upon and treat them as unwashed. Put
up your tags by themselves for they
create suspicion by being put inside Of a
fleece. Use as little Irvine as possible, and
let it be of smooth, hard surface. We
would not recommend boxing wool, for it
prevents ready examination of the fleece,
and frequently gives it the appearance OF
being cotted. We make these remarks
and suggestions for the benefit Of the
honest grower, and we shall certainly dis
criminate in his favor, for we must buy
wool according to its value, and those
clips that are light and open will be
sought after, to the decided neglect OF
oily or gummy ones The quality of wool
is not so much consideration, as the con
dition and we would impress this par
ticularly uponyou. We note with pride
the improvement in the condition of Wis
consin wool during the past three years
and we hope to see a continuance, which
will be duly appreciated by purchasers
and consumers. We already stand on q
par with the majority Of wool growing
States, and by a continuance of this ad
vancement for two or three years more,w
shall expect to have our wool excelled by
only two or three States. Mil. Sentinel

New Born Love for ssldi.rs.

Our Democratic friends have been sud
denly seized with newborn love for the
Union Soldiers. They are just now anx-
ious to be considered the particular
friends of the returned soldiers, and pro-
fess profound respect for the memory of
those who lost their lives in battle,or from
injuries resulting from their connection
with the Union armies. They are even
DESTROYS to be regarded as the originators
of the patriotic movement for the decora-
ton of soldiers graves with the testi-
monials OF affection and moreover, would
feign claim to be first suggesters Of
the erection of monuments in memory
ness the new affection springing up for
the soldiers in the Democratic ranks, if
the conversion from rebel sympathy be
o sound one,and not mere political STRAIT
egy. 1t is always gratifying to see men
espouse good cause, although at late
hour; if our Democratic friends have seen
their error, and now wish to repent it by
doing good works, it is all very well.
It is Of course natural that the new zeal
manifest by the Democrats for the soldiers,
should be taken with some allowance and
distrust. How could it reasonably be
otherwise after their having left such a
record of opinions and actions during the
war of the rebellion. Whoever happens
TO have in his possession file, or even
part of file of Democratic newspapers,
published while the war was in progress
with the southern rebels, will see that the
Democrats were opposed to the war de
nounced the war measures of the govern
ment, and sought to bring our Union ar
mics into disrepute. We happen to have
on hand some files of democratic journals
published during the war which will serve
very well as a sample of the democratic
talk about drafts, enlistments and soldiers
fighting in bad cause 1t may perhaps
not be amiss at some proper time to re-
fresh the memories of some of the new
fedged soldiers friends, especially those
who pretend to have been consistent sup
porters of our country's defenders, to re-
produce the utterances of democratic SEN
timent few years ago. Whose votes are
recorded in National and State Legisla.
lures against war measures, and even the
furnishing of supplies for our Union
soldiers in the army Even the great Ma
tionl Democratic Convention in Chicago
in 1854, secuted the war as four years
failure, and demanded the immediate ces.
sation of hostilities. Who denounced the
Union soldiers as "Lincoln's hirelings, "
and pronounced the war cruel and unjust
liable We're not the record of these and
kindred acts of the Democratic party still
fresh in the memory, and also abundantly
extant on the printed page, some might
seek to deny them.
Nevertheless if the repentance of the
Democratic party evinces true sincerity, and
if it shall cease to arrogate to ITSELF re-
cord in harmony with the war measures of
the government, then of course every one
will rejoice.

military interference, as soon as those
States shall have been restored by Con-
gress. This action of Congress appears
proper enough, but it is nevertheless at
tended with hazard. 1t is only the pres
ence of the military, which has hitherto
kept the rebel element of the south from
acts of violence. Without the strong arm
of the Government, there would have been
no security for life or property in past
years. 1t may be, loyal State governments
