From the Luzerne (Pa.) UnioB June l0--democratl
Salmon p. Chase, Chief Justice OF the United States
and man at to fill that high station is freely spoken
Of by democrats Of the most pronounced character
as the strongest man for the democratic party. II
seems strange to us to speak Of Judge Chase a
democrat go long and bitterly have we been opposed
70 him. but we cannot doubt his democracy to-day;
indeed N we put aside his freesol and anti-savery
record we would at any time In his have called
him democrat. But we cannot question the prn-
cple of man who has taken the course which Judge
Chase has taken. He pursued the path OF duty as a
Judge and citizen; he sustained the constitution
he opposed the enemies Of popular liberty, and he
nnds himself without any act Of his, IN the arms Of
the democratic party and In full sympathy with them
Honest brave and true he lives and moves In the
ranks OF the ever bold and faithful people All
questions coming from slavery are silenced. The
men, Ol WnOm Judge Cnase II the representative.
ask us TO give them pledge that they will be hon
orably received into the party OF the people, and the
people bless the Chief Justice the preserver OF
the constitution What shall we do-be generous
and Yield our party spirit, or-with stif necked
pridego to our fall9 We say that II the people ask
for the Nomination Of Judge Chase let IL be made.
The highest policy In this matter is TO follow their
wishes.

Twenty -four members OF the democratic deega-
tion OF Ohio TO the National Convention had q
caucus at the Burnet House few days ago. 1t
turned ont that the notion OF nominating Chase had
found It's way even into the Ohio delegation. The
development OF this idea was not very formida-
BILE, but its presence was regarded with apprehen-
sion. The special subject OF the discussion by the
convention was the financial policy OF the party. IL
turned out that only seven out Of the twenty -four
delegates were converts TO the Pendletonian doc-
trine OF paying the national debt In greenbacks.


From the Cincinnati Chronicle-rank radlcall


The spectacle proposed is impressive. The Chief
Justice, nominated by the democracy, Will give US
the earnest and lifelong advocate OF universal
Suffrage leading the masses that cry out IA white
mans government, apd death to tho negro" The
great creator OF our national debt will have followers
VINO shout reputation. The father OF bondholders
and national banks Will command men who seek TO
tiample down the rights OF both. II will make small
odds TO the rank and nle " the leaders 80 ordain.
But the stomach OF the Chief Magistrate should be
preserved in some national museum "a that Of O
great man who bartered away his well earned fame
