Mr.. Chase.

The Democracy Of the country will not re-
gret the defeat of the movement set on foot in
New York for the nomination Of Mr.. CHASE
for the Presidency when they read his plat
form of principles. His election upon such
n platform would have decided nothing, but
would have left the country in the same
state of chaos in which it has been for three
wears and now is. The declaration that
the question of the right Of suffrage belongs
to the several States is a very good one
when standing alone but when coupled
with an affirmation, in substance, that ne
gres ought to be voters, and that the Fede-
raj Government ought not to interfere to
undo the wrong which it perpetrated in
comforting the elective franchise upon them,
that declaration loses all of its value.
1t is singular that man who has been
in public life as long Us Mr.. CHASE has
should not have learned that the people
always like bold leader, and that tenn
porizing man hardly ever succeeds in pro
curing the " sweet voices" of the multitude.
Mr.. CHASE knows as well as FRANK BLAIR
that the country ought to be called upon to
decide in the coming election whether vlo-
lcnce shall give way to law-whether the
will of Il corrupt Congress shall yield to the
requirements OF the whether
white men shall rule this country-whether
ten States shall be reduced to degradation,
beggary, and ruin-or the reverse-and he
should have had the manliness to write a
letter declaring in unmistakable language
that he was in favor of tho rights OF his
own race and the restoration of constitu
tional government. But he chose to az
otherwise. He elected to avow himself
Radical so far as negro suffrage was con
cerned, and Democrat so far as the rlgh
of State toregulate suffrage was concerned
He played his game 80 as that he lost thu
stake. We have no sympathy to waste
upon him. His fate may serve as warn
ing to others.

A Falsehood Cc..tttadicted

The Wheeling Intenigencer, following the
lead of more reputable journals, INDUCES
in the following remark: nDrop6s of the
meeting held in Richmond last Saturday
night:
",Governor Vance, of North Carolina,
and Governor Wise, of Virginia, must
needs come out and declare publicly that
the election of Seymour and Blair would
insure the success of southern confede-
racy that secession, so far from having
been DESTROYED by the war, is more vita.
than ever and that the revolutic. premise
by the Democratic nominee for Ficc-Presi-
dent is the road which the country has to
travel in the event of rebcl success in the
coming campaign. The desperation of these
men drives them beyond all limits set by
prudence. They do not allow any one even
to doubt their real purpose. They boldly
avow that the campaign is to be conducted
on the issue of the war: Shall there be
southern confederacy founded on theruins
of the Republic
These are downright lies having not
even n shadow of foundation. Neither OF
the distinguished speakers made any such
declarations as are here attributed to them.
Neither of them even 30 much as intimated
that he desired to see southern confede-
racy. On the contrary, they both assumed
throughout their speeches that the Union
is to be perpetual. Governor WISE was
peculiarly strong in his expressions Of adj
miration for the wisdom of the founders Of
our Government. AS to his remark that
he would always claim the right to secede
from tyranny, it certainly was harmless
one taken in connection with the one which
Immediately followed it-namely, that New
York, Pennsylvania, &C., were going to
secede from the Rump Congress.
But we did not intend to enter into any
report of the speeches Of Governors WISE
and VANCE. We only desired to denounce
in proper terms this infamous attempt of
the Radical papers to make political capital
in the North by disappearing the speeches
of southern men.

The editor of the Manchester IN. H.
Democrat says Mr.. CHASE wrote most of the
Democratic platform. This can hardly be
so. 1t does not seem possible that that
platform and the one we publish to-day
from Mr.. CHASE could be the work of the
same man. Many men had o hand in the
National Democratic platform, and no one
we think, has the right to claim the pater-
nifty of "most of it,

From the Memphis Avalanche, July %:
"Tbe river here rose one and half inches in the

cediDg, with four feet In the canal and five aud
half feet on the bars in the lower Ohio. Inc
Arkansas is declining steadily with two feet In
tbe channel to Little Lock. White river is falling,
with eight feet in the channel through to Jackson
port. Yesterday was another warm day. la the
afternoon a fine shower prevailed. which tended
to cool the atmosphere to some extent. There
was little business doing on the wharf, with put
one departure"
From the Louisville Courier, July ed:

The canal at P. NJ. yesterday showed that there
we're four feet in that institution and two feet In
the Indian chute. This is decline OF three inches
in the twenty-f -four hours ending at the above
mentioned hour. The weather was clear and hot
yesterday and cloudy at night, without any abate-
ment of the heat. however. The Thermometer
during the day ranged between 95 and 100 deg.
The prospects Of rain last night were most ex.
cellent as the barometer indicated 29:30 deg. and
falling. The Legal Tender, with her cabin en-
lsrged and Otherwise fitted up In elegant style,
will leave the Portland wharf to-day at P. NJ. for
New Orleans Capt. John Roberts in command

trip, IS she had already secured large lot OF
miscellaneous freight besides IS tons Of govern
ment freight, 400 barrels pork, 400 barrels -four,
and about 600 pieces baeging."
The Cincinnati Gazette of July 22d. says:
1.-The weather continues warm, but not so warm
as on previous days. gentle breeze prevailed
all day yesterday. Business appeared more lively
on the wharf than for several days past. The
rates adopted at St. Louis will have good effect
on river business here. The river fell 10 inches
here yesterday. At o'clock last evening there
were feet inches water in the channel, by the
metal marks a. the waterworks. Licking river is
running out little, and Kentucky river is re-
ported rising. Late arrivals from the lower Ohio
report a feet at Flint Island feet scant at Port
lard, 81 feet at Rising Sun. The channel at the
latter point is TO be improved by the UAited States
Mail Line"
From st. Louis Democrat, July 22
Z" River falling fast here. There will be a stage
of only feet or less to Cairo by.and-by. Then
will steamboats, and barges encounter trouble, and
rates of freight will be higher than now"
