Chase and the Presidency.

1t would be a singular spectacle, iIlustrat-
ing most forcibly the mutations Of American
politics, to see General Grant and Chief jus
tee Chase running against each other for the
General Grant having the hearty
support of the \. Y Tr1j1me. the Indpen-
dc1lt, and Of the ultra Radicals, who held
back so long from Grant because they want
ed Mr.. Chase of all men and Mr.. Chase
having the support Of none Of those who have
been hitherto his special advocates, and run
ming as the candidate Of the Coprerheads.
But this is a sight we do not expect to see.
That Mr.. Chase wants the Democratic nom
nation that he cannot get 1t, and that he
would be beaten out of sight if he did-we
consider equally clear.
That the first Of these three propositions is
true no one can longer doubt. WecJpy else
where from the Brooklyn y. y Imam,
some very definite testimony on the subject,
from correspondent whom the Union en-
d9rses as &. perfectly reliable.
That large portion Of the Democracy is
ready To take up Mr.. Chase is true, and no.
thing could more strongly show their utter
desperation. but too large portion of that
party, including too many Of It's leading
presses, are 50 utterly opposed toMr. Chase.
that he must fail Of the nomination at New
York. 1t Is not a supposaJ,e case that
Belmont and Fernando Wood, YallauiIg-
ham, Pendleton, and d. Brick " Pomer5v. can
be induced to favor Mr.. Chase. They say
rheywin not support him if he is nominated;
and these men viii have a very influential
voice in the choice Of the Democratic candi-
date. There viii be plenty Of men in the
Democratic convention TO whom JEFF. Davis
opinion and goodwill viii be worth a good
deal more than Mr.. Chase's Does any body
suppose JEFF. Davis would favor M. Chase?
But if it We're possible that lie could be
