New-York tribune., 1868-06-29

the advance guard Cor sllirmishers) of the grand
gathering of next Saturday to nominate the
Presidential ticket to be beaten by GRANT and
CoLFAX next November. Some are sent here
to secure quarters for their respective dele
cations; others are prospecting for the
candidates they respectively favor. Though
the Convention is entitled Democratic (after
the smlitude of Bottoms dream,) all the de-
funct parties will be represented therein-ancient
Wings or Know Nothings who were Rebel or
Copperhead in the late War being more at home
on the present Democratic platform than
devotees of Jefferson and Madison while the
Jitterest anti-Grant men are the handful of
renegades from the Republican party. We
presume they will hardly be able to agree on
a ticket and adjourn before Tuesday week.
The Chase movement has d"~ef0pcu Hc"
strength here within the last few days and
many of the cooler heads incline to support the
Chief-Justice and get out of the Copperhead
rut but we still think Chases name, after
being used to kill Pendleton's prospects, will
be dropped, and that third candidate-prOb-
ably Hendricks, possibly Hancock-will be
brought forward with success. clique OF our
New-YOrk wire-workers are laying pipe for
Seymour; but to no purpose. If any Eastern
man should be nominated, it is more likely to
be Gov English of Connecticut All is guess
work as yet; but we consider Hendricks against
the field about an even chance.
Gov. Seymours late speech was not designed
to help PendletOn nor will it.
The Chase movement-which at one time
promised success-has been blasted by the
breath of the Southern Bourbons. The un-
changed Rebels, whether called Wings or Dem
ocTats ten years ago, are determined on fight
ing one more battle for that "White Mans
Government" which they inaugurated at
Montgomery seven years ago, and which they
are still bent on inaugurating, whether in the
Union or out of it. Witness the following eX-
tracts, clipped during half an hours reading of
our latest Southern exchanges of the Conserv-

The Charleston Mercury has letter from
Mr.. Edmund Rhett, one Of its editors, who
writes from this City, as follows:

If any one can read the above and not see
that it is the Rebellion, pure and simple,
which proposes to rule the approaching Demo-
cratic Convention, debating its creed if not
its candidates also, he must have very peculiar
optics
