Wendell Phillips, the lead
erof the Radical party says
Of Grant:
"The notices he has lent to
politics or history, are such as
a bulldog might have growl-
ed at. A nation battling for
an idea takes for its leader a
man confessedly destitute of
IDEAS"
There! Voters, You will
be urged to vote for a man
destitute of IDEAS"

The letter Of Chief Justice Chase 10 the
Senate on the formation Of court to try the
President taken in connection with sundry
other significant matters, Il an indication that
some Of the radicals are disposed to recede
from their extreme views AS for the Chief
Justice himself, II is pretty evident that his
position as . Presidential candidate is mate
rally changed by the manner In which Grant
has been taken up by the different radical con-
ventons and caucuses. Being little out Of
gear In the Presidential race, the Chief Justice
can afford to be outspoken, not to say honest,
in this impeachment business; and to the con-
viction that he has nothing to gain by being
on the extreme side, and nothing to lose by
being honest, we may perhaps attribute his
very conscientious though not very clear letter
TO the Senate, toiwhich they did net pay any
attention.
The manifest change Of opinion and action
on the part of some members Of the Senate is
another symptom that extreme measures are
regarded as dangerous just now. Let US take,
for example, the protest of Senator Trumbull
the other day against secret radical caucuses
in the Senate I; bis unexpected declaration that
they were no better than Star Chamber or
the Inquisition that the country was tired Of
them, and as for himself he would have no
more of them. This is remarkable contrast
to the spirit that prevails in the other house,
and is significant change even In the tone of
the learned Senator himself The members
Of Congress having but brief tenure of Office,
and having to appeal to their constituents
very soon for reelection, fling themselves into
the torrent Of passion which they suppose car
ries popular opinion with 1t for the time, so
that moderation is not to be expected from
them. Hence all the vehemence and venom
which characterize the action Of Old Thad,
Butler. Bingham, Boutwell,, Logan, Wilson,
Kelley and the rest Of the radical leaders But
the Senators, who are secure In their seats for
some years to come, can patiently await the
change which time is sure TO bring, and can be
as conservative as they please on the verge of
the maelstrom stirred up in the lower House.
This, we take 1t, may account for Mr., Trum-
bulls remarks and the more moderate tone of
the Senate generally. The altered position of
Chief Justice Chase in the Presidential canvass
renders his moderation very readily expli-
cable.

Calculations on the New Hampshire Elec-
ti0n,

Calculations on the New Hampshire Elcc-
Both political parties in New Hampshire
pretend to be sanguine as to the result of the
election, and both are playing the game OF
brag or bluff with boldness. All this inside
the State as well as out, is intended for effect,
and Is part of the political machinery How
opinion of the probable RESULT The radical
organs make an ingenious calculation and
claim from three to tour thousand majority .
the democratic pipers make an equally IN
genious calculation and find about the same
majority for their side: and thia, II must be
remembered, after the State has been most thor.
oughly canvassed. A great deal is said, too
about the vote in former elections, from which
comparisons are drawn accordingly Now II
Is evident that we must look to genera: facta
and causes and to the opinions Of impartial ob.
servers on the ground. First, then, the cur
rent Of public opinion has been turning
everywhere against the radicals. This was
seen in the elections in New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and other States
and within the last few days In numerous
local elections. Indeed, for some time pas.
this current has been growing and swelling in
a remarkable manner throughout every sec.
ton of the country. Where the radicals have
gained In one case the democrats have gained
in ten. This Is fact universally known and
needs no argument The reaction has reached
New England as well as the West and Middle
States. There is every reason to believe,
therefore, that the same result will be seen in
New Hampshire as elsewhere The radical
organs show their apprehensions. too, In the
incessant clamor for work, work. from their
partisans Though parading their hopeful
figures and clustering greatly about sue
cess, they are evidently frightened.
Their calculation on the radical vote
is unreliable, because many republican voters
who may have secretly resolved to vote against
the party or TO abstain from voting would
hardly let tba, be known. The ballot is silent
and follows In mysterious manner the current
Of popular opinion. Besides, we have seen
letters from well informed gentlemen In New
Hampshire-from gentlemen who are net poll
ticians AMI who have heretofore favored the
republicans-whch say that the State will
undoubtedly 60 for the democrats. !: seems
to Us. from al these and other indications that
next week New Hampshire viii Sc. rs seal of
condemnation on the radical revc.aticnis.s in
power. If so the reaction will be greatly ac-
celerated, and we may look forward 10 one Of
the most extraordinary political revcssicna
