PAPER Observation-Disclosures July 1lth.-
A movement was commenced here to-day
with the object Of forming a third party, to
run base for President and General Ewing
of Kansas for Vice President. This move
ment has been started by Democrats who
are dissatisfied with the nomination OF Sey-
mour and Blair, and conservatives of the
Chase persuasion, who are determined to
run Chase at all hazards. 1t is understood
that he is willing to be a candidate under
these auspices, and it is confidently asserted
tonight that the new party will receive the
support of President johnson. who is in
tensely disguised with the action of the New
York Convention. A consultation was held
at the White House this morning, at which
Secretaries Seward and Welles and Senator
Doolittle we're present, and it is reported that
the subject was fully discussed, and the re-
suit was that rumors were soon after circu-
lated on the street that initiatory steps had
been sakeh to set the ball in moiion.-Ph!!-
