"The Democratic National Convention
which assembled the next year (lSGS) in this
city was urged to nominate Chief Justice
Chase for President, and thus practically
evinced its adhesion to the platform Of Uni
yersa Amncsty-lmparlal Suffrage OH
which the Chief Justice was known to stand.
Both Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Greeley ardcntly
desired that this should be done. Mr.. Smith
went further than Mr.. Greeley ever did in
publicly declaring that if Mr.. Chase had
been nominated he (smith) would have
supported him. That each OF them
realized and proclaimed that such no.
animation, whether successful or not,
would have been most ausplcious to the
peace and weli-hcing Of our whole country,
no one had reason to doubt. Al length The
Democratic party has done what MeSSrS.
Smith and Greeley desired that it should do
in lSGS. Ii has planted itself squarciy upon
The platform of Universal Amnesty-lm-
partial Suffrage and has united iii the sup
port of candidates both for President and
yice-Prcsidenr who have stood on that plat
form for years. Had not that party II moral
right 10 expect Mr.. Smiths emphatic appro-
val Of this step, if not his Jealous co0pcra-

Palmer Makes Short Work Of Al
Specimen Grant Republican.
(By telegraph TO the New York Tribunc.i
CHICAGO, October G.-Thcre WIS an inn
rnsnse rally of Liberals at Springfield on
Saturday afternoon, which WAS addressed 10y
Mr.. uerndon, Nj. Lincon's former partner,
and Others. Being called upon for 4 speech,
Governor Palmer replied 10 some recent re-
marks of Senator Logan, saying that on the
list of flattererS surrounding President
Grant was John \. Logan, than whom no
man in the Republic has won so much re-
nown on SO small capital. When Demo
crat, he caused to be passed by the Lesi>la-
ture law more cruel than the slave
system itself, under which the son
of free mother might be made slave.
Not only did this law announce slavery
rs the doom Of the colored emigrant, but it
provided fines and Imprisonment for any one
who should aid him. The master, penitent
for the wrongs done his bond-people, was
forbidden TO make them free. The acts Of
the Legislatures of I'll the States may be ey-
aInined, and nothing more atrociouS ormore
cruel can be found anywhere In 1860, when,
TO the eye and judgment OF all, slavery had |
become more wicked and more infamous from |
its disIoyal, reasonable demands, General |
Logan distinguished himself in Congress as |
its most sergi!c tool. In 1850 sl;re-hunting |
was Infamous even IN the eyes of Slave-hold- |
crs. and Democrats denounced the hateful |
tool as dirty work. Logan confessed the
infamy of the employment, but loudly |
prOfessed his willingness to- do IT. There |
is not Democrat whose face has not
tingled with modification and shame
when he has been tainted with the
humility, indecent scurility, of one WHO
aspired TO be leader. In 1866, when driven
into the army to avoid the consequences of
his dsloyalty to the Government, he de.
uounccd the antirslayery men as the cause of
the war. In August, 1854, he had not pub
licIy decided whether be would support Linz
