Wendell Phillips opinion OF Chief
Justice Chase.

From the Anti-Slavery Standard.l
.Facigis desceasms AUerni, of which
we may take as counterpart, if not
free translation, the old saying, Hell
is paved with good intentions" Scot
land hints the same truth in her
proverb, A Haggis (pudding), God
bless her, can charge down hill"
There's never any trouble in getting
downward when a man longs for it.
Among our wishes there is always one
Aaron's rod which finally DESTROYS all
the rest. Mr.. Justice Chase wishes
to be an abolitionist, but he longs to
be President. This longing is his
Aaron's rod. He wishes to advocate
universal suffrage and the payment
of the national debt in gold. But he
longs to outbid Pendleton before the
Democratic Convention. See how
reluctantly, like the Jew under King
Johns pineers, he parts with his
teeth to save his gold; parts
with his professions Che never had
any principles to save his chances of
nomination. At the outset, what Law
ish waste of excellent indignation on
the part of his friends, when some
tell-tale correspondents limited the
possibility of his accepting a Demo
cratic nomination. : Is thy servant
a dog, that he should do this thingW
But all that virtuous horror could not
rub out of the public thought that
" damned spot" So, in due time, the
Cincinnati Gazette states, with Chase
like, ponderous, semi-Oficial dignity,
that doubtless Mr. Chase would ac-
cept such nomination if the Demo-
cratic party would come to him and
plant itself on his platform. Then,
his tempted, restless virtue waits
awhile, to see what the party will do.
That lazy good-for-nothing manifests
no disposition to wash and put on
clean garments. Precious time is
running fast to July 4. So somebody
is found, or imagined, to give the i'm
patient Judge an opportunity to come
down little in his price. He let's
it be know that if universal
suffrage can be secured and gold pay
ment pledged, he will meet the Dem
ocrats with a recognition of State
sovereignty and q grant of universal
amnesty. For a while this is a stand
ing offer. But the keen instinct of
the Democratic rank and he saw a
negro hid under this nice meal.
Spelling negro with two g's is the AL
pah and Omega of American Democ-
racy. Mr.. Chase might have learned
that gospel of Col. Benton a dozen
years ago, and found it, besides, en-
larged upon the {" Epistles of Nasty"
Slowly the truth dawned on him.
1t was clear the party could never
come up to him. What then?
F" Cousin, " said the Duke Of Bedford
to the drunken Duke of Norfolk, Iy-
ing in the mud, Cousin, | can't lift
you up, but [ will do the next best
thing-Ill lie down with you" SO
now we have the last bid; Pendleton
and Chase neck and nekc.

Sarmnnr,s salient Point.

The salient point of Governor Sey-
mOur' S speech, in New York, on the
18th instant, is the totally unneces-
sary extravaganza of the present adj
ministratiOn of the Government.
With the skill of a perfect master of
the subject, he points to its evils;
with the skill of a statesman, he
points to the remedy.-IRdidRapOIiS
Sentinel
We are decidedly of the opinion
that the salient point of SEY-
MoUR's speech was that which stuck
fast under the fifth rib of your favor
tie candidate, Mr.. PENDLETON. The
project for setting the greenback mill
at work manufacturing paper money,
wherewith to make the currency more
plenty and pay off the National debt, is
the popular doctrine with the PEN
dletonian politicians. If the follow
ing extract, from SEYMoUR's, is not a
"salient point" a center shot at
Young Greenbaeks," we cannot con-
ceive what the willy New Yorker
was firing at:
If we debase the currency by un-
wise issues, we shall equally perplex
business and destroy sober industry,
and make all prices mere matters of
gambling, tricks, and chances. This
will end as it did In the Southern
Confederacy. At the outset the citi-
zens of Richmond went to market
with their money in their vest peck
cts and brought back their dinners in
their baskets; in the end they took
their money in their baskets, and
took home their dinners in their vest
pockets.
SEYMoUR's attack upon the total
ly unnecessary extravaganza of the
present Administration of the Gov
ernment." does not touch the Repub-
lean party In the Chicago Plat
form it is charged that the present
Administration of ANDREW JOHN
son is corrupt and extravagant, and that
its evils must be remedied. And to ac-
complish this desired end, the Conven-
ton named as its leader General
ULYSSES S. GRANT. who has proven
himself to be in favor of a rigid
economy in the administration of
public affairs. That General GRANT
will cut down expenses, punish cor
ruption, and put an end to extrava-
gance, none can doubt after reading
the testimony of ANDREW JOHNSON,
who says that while GRANT was setting
Secretary Of War he effected great re
auctions in the administration of the
War Department, to the saving Of
millions to the Treasury"

The Courier explains. 1t dis
claims all responsibility for the pub
lieation Of the editorial endorsement
of the gallant DE la Hunt. who
was q man after the C5aa-aer'S own
heart on Sunday, because he had 7 a
a0ar record" We predicted that the
Captains war record would not
advance bis pros poets before the
District Convention. but we hardly
thought the Courier would discard
him within three days. The Courier
says the paragraph in question was
written By a Gentleman who has no
editorial connection with the Courier,
and was published without the con-
sent. knowledge OF approval Of the
Z responsible editor
Specias prominence is given to the
editorial management in the above
denial, but nothing is said about the
proprietorg responsibility for the De
LA HUNT article The editorial il
question bore the unmistakable ear
marks of authorship of the only gen
tleman whose name appears in the
Courier as responsible for its utter
anees. 1t was very much like the
style Of the gentleman who lately adj
dressed the Spencer County Democ-
racy on the subject of negro suffrage.
The e.{jt0r gives the editorial adv0-
cate Of De La Hunt with "a wal
record, lecture for his sharp Scy in.

guisbed Democratic follow-0'l tizens

Judge Parrest.) it Is unreasonable tC
suppose that the Democratic party, OF
a section, or an individual of tina

consideration Of names which could
serve no other purpose than to EN-
barrass the choice Of the Convention
60 which will be entrusted the dut,
of selecting from among n1qRy dis
tinguished Democrats universally
acceptable nominee.
Thus it is made very clear that it i
all wrong for any man, whether he i
editor or proprietor, to insist upoI
gentlemen accepting a nomination tn
tender of which they have positiveh
rejected. Rather than do that, it woul
be better to follow the proposed ex
ample of the National Democracy an
nominate some CHASE Republican, j
any such can be found, or even
Democrat with a war record.

raxlng GoYernment BONDS.

A great cutlery has been raised by
the Democracy all over the land be-
cause Of the alleged exemption Of the
holders Of National bonds from tax
alton While every intelligent bust
ness man knows the falsity of the
allegation to the extent claimed, the
Republican party in Congress, by
means of the tax bill now under discuss
sion, and by other constitutional
legislation, are maniiesting a COM
mendable disposition to equalize
the burdens of the government, and
impose upon the capitalists Of the
country their full share of taxation.
On the 29th ult. the House passed
Mr.. BUFFERS resolution instructing
the Ways and Means Committee to
report bill levying 10 per cent. tax
on the interest of all classes of Gov
ernment bonds. The resolution was
adopted by vote of 81 yeas to 81
nays; and we may expect prompt
passage of the bill. Every Republi-
can Representative from Indiana,
present, voted in favor of the Resolu-
ton. If the party is seeking to
protect the bondholders from taxa
ton, will our Democratic friends ex.
plain why this action was taken?

in the papers Of that city, he said

1t is surprising what transforma-

Ger County Convention, that be had

We commend the following good
suggestions from the Lexington
Statesmen to the attention of the
Union men of the First and Second
Districts of Kentucky. We hope
they will be acted upon in every
County. However small may be the
minority of the Union party in any
locality, let them organize and make
gallant fight for our glorious lead
ers, GRANT and CoLFAx; and it will
be the most effectual way to increase

tricts:
We regret to see, on the part of the
Republicans in Kentucky, so little
disposition to bring out candidates
for the Offices to be filed at the
August election. 1t is exceedingly
bad policy to let elections go against
us without an effort to prevent it, and
we urge upon our friends throughout
the State to Immediately call county

must attend to this matter at once.
1t is time that you were in

If there be not nerve and decision
enough to deal with the case, the pop
