The Charleston Mercury discusses the proposed
aomination Of Mr.. Chase by the Democrats. 1t
observes that he is against the South in every
issue before the Supreme Court, and that he
iavors universal amnesty and universal suffrage.
II remarks that he denies the power Of Congress
70 control suffrage, and would leave II 60 each
State TO regulate il. If this is So the Mercury
says, the South can have no objection TO him. Il
hen adds, that as Mr.. Chase is the father of our
present financial system, there is great objection
10 him, and that the Pendleton interest cannot go
for his nomination. II advises that the greenback
or gold issues be ignored in the convention as the
only means Of the success Of the Democratic
party. 81 H@H8 .a'
The friends Of the Colorado bin fnd upon ex.
animation that the admission Of that state would
jeopardize the ratification OF the fourteenth ar.
,icle OF the amendment TO the Constitution of the
Unite States, for the reason that the Southern
states, which are soon 10 be admitted will be ex.
sctiy enough twenty eight 70 ratify that amend
nent, while the admission Of Colorado now would
require twenty nine States; and as the legislature
Of Colorado is yet 10 be elected, 1t would substi-
tute an uncertainty for certainty. The senate
committee on territories has therefore, reported
an amendment TO the Colorado bill, providing
that the State legislature, before the State shall
be admitted to representation in Congress- shall
Tatify the amendment. There seems less oppo-
sition to the bill, as amended, than heretofore. Il
is understood that the congressional delegation
elect propose to resign and place the entire State

Mr.. Chase's letter places him 10 such an attitude
that his name can no longer be considered In that
no disposition TO criticize the position which he
has taken. An honest adherence to views which
he has long advocated, however erroneous we
may consider those views, will necessarily COM
nland our respect. And he is doubtless more
highly esteemed by the Democratic party for this
reiteration Of his former opinions than by an in.
sincere recantaton Of his fayorite policy, as a
means Of securing the nomination Of the party.
IL becomes the Democratic party TO be not less
candid than Mr.. Chase, and, while giving him fall
credit for his honesty OF purpose, TO yield no lot
or little Of the principles which serve as the basis
Of their public policy , ".

but is necessary to a beneficial administration OF
the government in the States recently involved in

Washington dispatches of the 18th say the ex-
element over political matters with reference to
the New York convention Is intensified. The
views of the chief justice transmitted yesterday
we're prepared by him, and to this may be added
that Chase openly syows the necessity Of not
only Withdrawing the troops forthwith from the
Southern States, but says that they ought to haye
been removed pending the operation OF the re-
construction acts. He likewise denounces the
iron.clad oath, and says simple oath TO support
the Constitution Is all that should be asked In or
out of Congress- A California politician who has
been over Western New York, Ohio, Indiana and
Pennsylvania, says that Hancock viii sweep the
soldiers votes there. His friends are confident,
from recent developments, that the general will
be nominated for president. The friends Of Sens-i
tor Hendricks, Of Indiana, are also ardent In the
contest, and in the event civilian is chosen II is
iikely that Hendricks will be the choice. Mr..
PendletoD's friends in Washington have naturally
abandoned the field, but they claim that he has
the power TO select the nominee. Thad. Stevens
Gays Pendetonis financial policy is correct, but
admits his own party cannot stand on 1t.
