notice in your paper Of to-day you have brought

the country. Now sir. permit me TO say the HERALD
has greater circulation In this county than all
the rest OF the daies combined; consequently the
opinions or the people are TO a considerable extent
moulded by its influence and more especially because
OF the fact that the HERALD is no partisan, but
tains the party or man that 1t believes to be right
am fully satisfied that to all those opposed to
radicalsm Chief Justice Chase is the most accepta-
BILE man who can be named. Although the demo-
cracy OF Columbia have favoritc OF our own state
whom they hold most dear, pure, honest capable
and faithful they VIII let him pass for this time
not that they love him less but that thev love their
country more. When you brought forward the

An observing corresnondent in Roston writes.
The republican party here is getting "demOralized."
The nomination Of Grant and COfax does not suit
Massachusetts,. The radicals Of the Wendell Phil
lips stripe do not believe in Ulyssus and the tenn
perance and Henry Wilson Know Nothing party do
not relish the nomination, and will kick out Of the
sanguine that 'Hancock and Adams'' would carry
the State In November. They organizing
secret associations all over the State on the same
plan as those which revouttonized New Jersey and
Connecticut at the recent elections, and they
pect to catch all the driftwood and opponents Of
sumptuary laws, and shrewd politicians say they
will get over one hundred thousand votes out Of the
two hundred and thirty-fve or two hundred and
the republicans TO poll one hundred thousand.
Judge Chase and Fessenden Is popular ticket with
government and bank securities and IS regarded as
the next strongest ticket to Hancock and
Adams; Adams; but Leading democrats seem shy Of
Chase, and say his record is too radical,
although they ADMIT his name is q tower
Of .. strength; but say they must have a
question whether Chase would seduce votes enough
from the republican ranks to offset the loss of bOys
in blue " who will follow the .'conquerng hero nat
uraly. PendletOn's name is hardly mentioned The
democrats cOncede the eminent ability and merits of
pendleton, Horat0 Seymour and Hendricks, but say,
We can't elect them, and must 90 for the nag that
will win" They do not dread Grant SO much as the
clique or ring who they fear will control him and
use him as tool for "their policy" as he has none
Of his own. They say he is sound on the whiskey,"
and many democratic questions but fear Ben Butler,
