The chase Increment.

From all the papers which come to
our table, and from all parts of the coun-
try, we gather the news which convin-
ces us that the curious political trans
formation which goes under The
name of Z" the Chase Movement is eN-
tcnsive, gathering carnestncss, and
whether destined to be successful for
Mr.. Chase or not, destined to be an ele-
waiting influence in party politics. Mr..
Chase, undoubtedly wants to be Prcsi-
sident. No one that learns has failed
to Learn that. The Democratic party
wants a candidate as much as Chase
wants to be one. But it cannot find one
in its own ranks, who has not some fault
which makes him practically valueless;
for men must be run like horses, to- win,
and with hope of winning.
But Mr.. Chase and the Democratic
party were not brought up and schooled
together, aud some formaiities are neces-
sary, of an introducing nature, before
they can become intimate-before they
become one flesh. Mr.. Chase is willing,
under certain conditions, to we'd Demo-
cracy: he wishes his property in impair
tial suffrage settled upon the party he
espouses. The party may take, and
with commendable bushes and hesita-
tons seems disposed to accept Mr.
Chase's proposals. Mr.. Pendleton is
more of the Democratic family
way of thinking, and is rival. But
Chase is very hard cash, " which even
the West has endorsed as desirable, and
the parents of the bride look well TO the
" prophecies We think it quite prob
able that the banns between Chase anC
the Democracy will be publised at New
York about the 4th of July. In con
templating this curious wooing one il
Shakespeare's play, where the Hunch
back, Richard, Duke of Gloucester
wooes the widow of the royal broth

There is no analogy about this, o
course, except in thought and uninter
ested spectators should not gossip. Blu
they will.
But no spectator is unintcrestcd, am
none should be. This is q case in which
no harm can be done to the party by
wedding, and some good may result. |

the bride, but we cannot help hopin
that there is reformation and reforma
ton is everything. In parties, whicl
are entagOnistic in action, watchful
profit by errors in policy or principle,
lifting of the lowest is full of hope fo
the people, for it compels a lifting Of tn
highest-an increased care and though
for the interests of the people. Perhal
