Another week and the glorious Fourth Of July will
be upon us with all its grand "reminiscences OF the
past and its less glorious promises for the future
The natal day Of American independence has been
wisely chosen by the great national party Of the
country for the meeting OF the convention that is to
stay the political strife that since the Of the
bellion has retarded all national progress on the
part OF the people and the government On
saturday next the American republic will enter
upon the ninety-fourth year Of its independence
and on the same day the Democratic National Con.
ventiOn consisting OF delegates from all the States
OF this vast republic will meet in this city for the
purpose OF conferring together and nominating
man for the sufrrages or the people President OF
the United States for the Of four years from the
4h OF March next. The duty and responsibility de-
voving on the Convention the most pressing and
momentous that have attached in the history OF
the country to any convention that has heretofore
sat at Presidential nomination The great heart OF
the American people beats responsive to the
crisis that Is upon the country and they
look forward with proportionate interest and
anxiety to the work to be inaugurated
that day, most celebrated in the annals OF their
country and most hoRored and treasured In the
hearts Of young and old, the coming Fourth Of July.
Their voice has been heard throughout the length
and breadth OF the land and the prayer which has
gone forth from their lips ought not to be disregard
ed. They have appealed through the press the peo-
pies oracle, TO the delegates in the different States
and prayed:-"when you assemble in convention
nominate man our candidate for the Presidency
who will insure to the national ticket for
on that political success depends national life.
Fail in that and you fail in the great work that
committed your hands, and for that failure you
will be hedto strict accountability in the consciences
all true lovers OF their country" The people almost
unanimously in favor OF the nomination OF Chase;
but from the temper and feelings OF the democratic
leaders here, speaking for thems elves-and as they
assume to speak from a knowle dge Of what the
leaders OF the party In other States think and feel
the matterit seyet doubtful hether Mr.. Chase will
he the choice OF the Convention. There is yet time
to bring these gentlemen To better frame OF mind,
and II the democratic masses OF this city act
promptly and resoutely In this emergency-call
independent candidate there is little doubt but the
sh OF july 1868, will become as historic for great
that day that other Fourth OF July whose recur.
ring anniversary has alw been 30 Rl0riOusly and
enthusiastically celebrated throughout the land.
THE SITUATION FROM THE PRESENT STANDPOINT.
There Is no doubt whatever after all the noise and
bluster and Growing OF the Western men over their
little eagle, that the said little eagle Pendeton has
been discarded. II has been at last discovered that
the Western bird wasn't N.Y. and that there was
use in trying TO get him on the wing, therefore he
is withdrawn, and though his hackers In the Con-
venton will help him to big crOw, " that Is all that
Hendricks will be likely to have the crow over him
before the Convention disperses II was not with
out great struggle that the Western men sue
cumbed TO the force OF circumstances and sub
mtted to the inevitable. Some Of their most
influential representatives have been for days past

The man now most prominent In the foreground is
Mr.. Hendricks Of Indiana, and among the outside
delegates he s confidently spoken OF as the coming
candidate for the Presidency with Governor English,
or Connecticut, on the ticket Vice President. No
other Presidential candidate is spoken Of with the
exception Of Mr.. Chase, who commands powerful
influence in the councils OF the Manhattans. Mr..
seymour whose far-seeng policy first suggested the
name OF Mr. Chase TO the democracy OF the country,
still stands by him, and boldly and wisely presses
his great claims, not only on patriotic grounds, but
t 'n must aecrne 70 the party through suseess
issue to the contest such result being only attain
able possible through Mr.. Chase. Mr.. seymour is
strongly supported in his views and policy In this
matter Mr.. Belmont, 1t is said, being one OF his
frmest hackers.
now THE CHASE MOVEMENT MAY END IN A DEMO
CRATIC TRIUMPH.
II was not simply patriotic idea that led to the
selection OF the Fourth OF July the day for holding
the grcatNemocratic National Convention OF 1868 In
the city OF New York-the first ever held here. There
was q polite idea equally cogent, and promising
greater results than could be derived from the In
spra0n Of the memories OF the day Itself II the
Fourth had not happened TO fall on Saturday some
really falling on the last day OF the week was for
tunate coincidence, and so the Convention was fixed
for that day. The leaders Of Tammany made their
calculations with all the forethought and accuracy
TO results for which they are famous. They
have sncceeded so far; will they sue

but on the glorious Fourth what patriotic heart could
tame itself down to the dun routine OF business ?
