Rejected by the Northern democracy and re

of this third party are somewhat dubious, and
SO are the chances of Mr.. Chase. He has been
unfortunate as pilgrim for the White Iio"se+

He certainly displays a remarkable leaning to
this new Southern party. At all events, we
apprehend that Mr.. Chase is too early in the
field with his third party, his association with
this new movement will only serve to finish
him among the Northern democracy. 1t is

The following sketch, by one who knows
him. is given of rather aspiring politician at
this time: r-.
Judge Dent is in no proper sense citizen
of Mississippi. First--He never lived in that
State before the war Second-He did not, of
course, live there during the war; he lived in
California during the war, and married there a
lady who was from Mississippi, owned land
there and was, her friends say, secessionst,
who has not yet changed her sympathies.
Third He went to Mississippi in 1866, to Goa
homa county, took up an abandoned planta-
ton, and planted cotton. He was unsuccess-
full, as most of the planters were that year; he
made his monthly payment to his hands with
due bills; and at the close of the planting
year he left the State, and failed to redeem the
due bills, which are still unpaid. Fourth-He
has been in the State but once since, for three
days, in 1868. That is the whole of Mr. Dents
history as Mississppian." M .af
The Democracy of Ohio opened the political
campaign at Cincinnati, on the evening of the
14th, by meeting which the journals of that
city say was small but enthusiastic. The
speeches on the occasion were made by Mr.
George e. Pugh aud Gen. Sam. Cary. Mr..
Pngh had nothing to say against. Gov. Hayes,
who was an honor to the State; nor was he
troubled about negro suffrage, nor Asiatic en-
igration. But two things did trouble him
tariff and taxation. He seemed to be very de-
cidedly aein 'em both. Gen. Cary's speech
was noticeable for its ponderosity and its
aversion to everything that has ever been done
by the Republican party, For a young con-
vert, he was clever, and talked Democratic

He said in the course of his speech that "the

holders, and the sons and daughters of toll can
have no sympathy with it, and are therefore
forced to act with the Democracy" Wonder
if Gen. Gary ever heard what party it was
that established the freedom OF the public
lands, and what party opposed and voted
against the measure in Congress?g Perhaps
also, he hasn't yet heard what party it was
