Chase Demonstration.
The other day. when AnsOn Burlineame and his
Cinnamon were presented to the President Of the
United States, they produced, in regular Chinese
fashion, roll or Scroll letter, several yards In
length, it bearing the expression of esteem and
regard Of the Emperor for the United States,
ana the degree of such esteem and regard
being lOngitudinally measured by the yardstick, in
creasng in inches, feet yards, according to the
increased length Of the document. II this be taken
as standard to determine the height BREADTH depth
or width OF the feeling prevailing among the Ger
mans In favor OF the nomination by the democrats of
Salmon p. Chase for the Presidency its
extent must be taken something un-
usual in the past political history OF the
document, the length of which exceeds anything
we have seen in the shape OF petitions, memorials
remonstrances numerousE signed. rms document
is In the nature of q request to the Democratic Ma
tonal Convention to be held on the 4th Of July,
signed by we know not how many thousand German
citizens, all members of the VOlhs6und, Peoples
League, urging the nomination OF the Chief Justice
as the most expedient and timely The roll of sig
natures covers some fifty yards Of continuous sheets
OF fOoscap paper, and on close examination il could
be ascertaned that these signatures are not of the
"Tom Brown" "JOhn smith, written by the hun
dred by the same person, merely to swell the list
artiicially. They are all genuine names, signed
by those who bear them, and honestly eX-
pressing their heartfelt adhesion to the re-
quest contained in the body Of the memorial or
petition.
The signatures themselves bold, distinct rival
ing those to the Declaration of Independence in
clearness OF chrography and they are indubtable
evidence that the signers must all be intelligent and
educated men.

A CONSPICUOUS APosTATE.
Positive democrats have frequently and persist

deceit. The Day Book always spoke Of it as a snake

and, in comparison Of records, the responsible
editor Of the World had not a shred OF genuine
political principle to match the incorruptibe

to go over the controversy; but one-tYentetb part
OF the revelations had any truth the man who
spurned Mr.. vallandigham az a traitor to democ-

assume the role OF executOner In the presence of
