PROSPECTS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Nh. Vallandigham is satisfied that,
with harmony at New York and a
proper candidate. the Democracy can
win next November. The chances for
victory are indispensable. The Re
publican party just now is lukewarm
and disorganized, and without en-
thusiasm for the ticket placed in nom
ination at Chicago. With his follow
ers, he believes first IN the choice of
George II. Pendleton, for whom there
is perfect unanimity among the masses
and the politicians of the North and
West. Mr.. Pendleton's strength lies
10 the enthusiasm of the masses Tor
him, aud in his position on the great
question Of redeeming the bonds IN
greenbacks, which is so popular with
the industrial classes throughout this
region.
THE PLATFORM AS 1T SHOULD BE.
Mr.. Vallandigbam lays it down as
inevitable that any nomination or
platform at New York which taeitly
VI UI6ulE GULNGuCG tudl NuG OUulU-
cratic party, during the war, made
itself odious by completely or sym
patty with treason, and therefore
must be openly killed off or quietly
suppressed, or which is tacitly or ex-
pressly committed to prescription of
the men In the North and West who
refused active support to the war"
would be followed by a convention of
boilers who would proclaim the
ancient and rugged principles of De-
mocracy. Absolute equality and toll
Grafton, without regard to the war, is
demanded for all men-Copperhead
Democrats, War Democrats and Re-
publicans-who act with the Demo-
cratic party in the coming struggle
against Radiealism. "All men ought
to be ready to consider and adjust
solely with reference to the solid and
permanent interests of the country all
questions Of preference as to men,
and all non-essentials in questions Of
policy" so as to secure the overthrow
Of the Radicals in 1868.
THE ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS IN THE
NEW ONE.
Mr.. Vallandigham is convinced that
the =" third party which is breaking
off like a layer from the Radicals, viii
not repeat the blunder at Philadel-
phia. The movement which was pre-
cipitated by the impeachment of the
President is controlled, in his opin
ion, by ADLER and wiser men and
shrewder politicians. Instead Of the
shallow and empire" Seward it has
the broad, deep and sagacious" Sal
mon Z. Chase for its leader. Mr..
Vallandigham does not wish to be
understood as abandoning for one
moment the claims Of Democrats for
nomination in the new movement
Mr.. Pendleton is his choice, and he
thinks Mr.. Pendleton could be cleo
ted. If, however, a better name is
presented at New York the supper
tiers of MIR. Pendleton would be will
ing sto examine further, and would
not be found pertinacious. That gen
tleman, as the great exponent OF the
greenback theory, would draw vast
numbers of followers from the masses
of the Republican party in the West,
while
CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AS A CANDIDATE
Would bring over its leaders and
managers and create fatal disa Fiction
IN its entire organization. The OBJ
lection TO, or rather the d fhculties
10 the way of Mr.. Chase's nomination
are two 0Dly-hrst, his position re-
garding the matters Of negro suffrage
and negro equality; and, second, his
actual position OF the question Of re
deeming the bonds. His position on
tho nnpE4Tnn aE w-ar,z4~,,1A-
tectly satisfactory, opposed. as he has
expressed himself, TO the Congress
ionai plan. The subject need not
enter into the Democratic platform,
because, IS Mr.. Vallandigham
shrewdly philosophers, a party out
of power had better deal in generali-
ties and make their platform short.
Thlle any opposition which might
come from the enemies of Democracy
could be met with the argument that
General Grant, as the Republican
candidate for the Presidency, declares
that ne Will have no policy" A
general amnesty to all white men in
tbe South would be the only requisite
TO an adjustment of the question in
the future, and so far Nh. Chase
would Be acceptable.
The FIRST difficulty is not instfr.
mountable. The Chief Justice as a
private citizen enjoys the light Of
thinking that negro equality and negro
suffrage aye both eminent!y proper
and just, sod had the right Of coming
back to Ohio last Fall TO vote, as he
did. for The confermeEt of those priv
leges on the ool0red race. But it
does 0 follow that Mr.. Chase, as
President Of the United States, need
be an urgent or active propaganda of
his views outside the State of Ohio,
especially as the question Of suffrage
10 a matter not of national, but of
