'THE BLl'E AXB THE GRAY."
BY BKSNIE It ,
A lady In New Jersey who hnd wrlttcn-the
following reply to the poem from the "Atlantic
Monthly," entitled 'The llluo and the Urny,'
(published In our October pnper,) wrote us n
Hhnrt complimentary note on Mr. Halzcll'spo
tn the December number of our pan r. lu n ply
to a request fur a copy of her verses, wo uro fit
Vnrcdwlth the following fine verses. Ed. "Mol-
tiler's Friend.")
The loyal llluo and traitor Orny
Alike In the irrnve are sleeping,
Lying slileby side In the sunlight's ray,
And under thestortn-eluiid sweeping.
Tis well to forgive the past
tlod Rivlntr us grace, we may.
But never, while life shall last,
fan we honor or love the limy.
Our Hoys In nine were loynl and true,
Kor their !od and their country tl.v I titr ;
With a watchful pride that Is ever new,
We garland the graves where they're lying.
They were murdered by rebel bands,
They fell in fearful fray,
(luardlngnnrFIng from traitor hands
Wo do not love the iliay.
Wo would not tote our hearts would lain
Cast a veil o'er their xhnmclul story,
It will not bring bach our loyal slain,
To recall their treason gory.
Hut barriers deep ami wide,
Divide the;talsi! from thn true !
Wiall treason and honorsland sldebyslde
Is the Orny the peerof the Illuc?
Answers each loyal heart to-day,
"They are peers ami equals never,
Sn wreaths on n traitors grave we lay,
I't shame he his wreatli forever."
tilve love where love Is due,
To the loyal all honor pay;
Love and honor belong to the llluo,
Hut w hat do we owe to the gray ?
Weowo them three hundred thousand gravel
Where the loved and the lost are lying
We owo them, wherever our banner waves,
Homes, illleiMvltli tern-sand sighing.
Do they think that wo forgot our dead.
Our boys who wore the nine,
Thnt because I liey sleep In t lie name cold bei1
Wc know not the false from tho line.
Hell eve It not ! where our heroes lie
The very ground Is holy,
Ills name who dared for the right to din
Js saered, however lowly. . f .
lint honor the traitor Orny!
Make It the peerof the nine!
One llowernt the feet of treason lay !
Never I whileOod Is line!

The possible nomination of Chief
Justice Chase as the Democratic can
didate lbr the next President is so gen
crally mid so gravely discussed that it
would seem an all'ectation of eccentri
city or' a betrayal of alarm to avoid
the tonic, Neither flecking nor dread
ing such nomination, wo can at least
canvass it dispassionately. We will
take as our text an article in the last
N. 1. J hues, which says:
"We do not think it can succeed,
because we do not believe that lieo-
MiWs of the delegates in Convention
can bo brought to favor it. Asid
from the hostility it will encounter on
grounds of principle, the personal in
terests to be aliecteU by it are too for
midahlo to bo overcome. The two
thirds rule, established for the hIuuIi-
A..- -CW AT T, . ... .
icr oi iur an. jiurcn at liaitimore in
1814, has become the settled law of
tho Democratic National Convention;
iintl it will always be found cH'cctual,
not only in defeatinfr any local favor
ite, but in preventing the adoption of
any bom and striking change ot party
policy. hero two-thirds of the
Convention can control its action,
lt is sate to say that its action
M ill always be timidnud commonplace.
It was that which nominated Polk in
1844 and Pierce in 18 j2, and which
defeated the party by splitting it in
1848 and 1SG0; and it will probably
defeat the nomination of Pendleton,
and prevent such a revolution in the
party as the nomination of Chase would
involve now."
Wc think the Times is hero deluded
by one of those superficial and mislead
ing analogies which are continually
leading a certain class of reasoners as
tray. The "two-thirds rule" had a
temporary object the defeat of Mar
tin Van Buren in a Con voution where
of a majority of the delegates were
pledged to his support, but not sin
cerely favorable to his nomination
and an abiding purpose, in the firm
resolve of the Slave Power to bo ena
bled at all times to control the nomi
nation or at least to prevent one hostile
to its pretentions and presumed inter
ests the Slave States electing less
than a majority, but more than a third
of each Convention.
Slavery having perished, there is
no more a slave-holding interest de
manding distinct recognition and pro
tection. A Southern Conservative"
(late Confederate,) has no interest, no
feeling, which differences him from a
Northern Democrat who was of Cop
perhead proclivities during tho war.
The "two-thirds rule" has therefore
become unmeaning and practically ob
solete. Whenever any candidatcshall
have obtained a majority of. votes in
any future Democratic Convention,
Ins nomination will be assured, and
must soon be proclaimed. Delegation
after- delegation will pronounce for
lnra until his nomination is made
practically unanimous. We still think
Pendleton, not Chase, will be the
ma; but the "two-thirds rule" will
hardly influence the result one way or
Jhe other. .,. . . '.
The Timet proceeds:
: ''It is understood , that thoso who
support Chase advocate also the adop
tion of his principles and policy.
They will allow him' substantially to
make his platform. They hold that

tions that ever were at issuo between
him and them. Slavery, the grand
source ami origin of them all, has us
appeared forever. They propose to
regard as fixed and settled all the
questions growing out of it and out of
the war. They accept the Reconstruc
tion action of Congress urge the re
turn of the South to tho Union upon
that basis and take the broad ground
of I 'nieersul Manhood Suffrage, with
out distinction of race or color, only
leaving it to tho netn of the States
themselves. It is impossible to im
agine a greater revolution in a party
tiian tins.
We propose this is so, Mr. Chase,
on a Copperhead platform, would be
tho weakest of all possible candidates
weaker, even than Vnllnndighnm.
We do not, of course, imply that he
would consent to run on any such
pluttSirin; we only state a fact verified
by ample experience when we say that
he would be beaten out of sight. Mr.
Chase is a very able and strong man,
but he has no signal personal popular
ity. ( )n a Copperhead platform, Val-
landighnm would receive the votes of
three to seven States; Chase would
hardly get que. But it is idle to talk
of this. J f he is not to run on hisown
platform, he cannot run at all.
J ho Junes continues:
"Jt may safety be assumed that
nothing but the desperate sense of
party necessity could bring any party
to it, and it is scarcely possible that
two-thirds of the Democratic party
should concur in taking so desperate a
view ot its ioi lines.
"Nor is it at all certain that the ac
tion proposed would save tho party.
ii tno wiiolo strength ot t ic lutrtv
oiihl bo relied on in support of it.
there might be some chance of its suc
cess, lhero are unquestionably some
elements of disall'ection in tho Repub
lican ranks, though they are much Ios
inllueiiUal than they were before the
Chicago Convention; and if their
strength could be added to the full
Democratic vote, it would rrivo the
Democracy a lair chance of carrying
several important Northern States.
which would be certain for (Jrant as
ainst anv regular nominee of dm
Demoeratio party, lint, with Chase
us their candidate, and Universal Ne
gro SuH'rago in their platform, the
Democrats expect also to divide the
Southern colored vote, and so to carry
several of tho Southern States. This
course, involves the litter abandon
ment of the doctrine that this is ex-
lusively the the "White Man's Gov
ernment," which is just now the cardi
nal teat ure, the corner-stone, the only
essential and fundamental principle,
of the Demoeratio faith us held by the
J 'emocrats ot the Southern States.
"We arc inclined to think, there
fore, that if tho Democrats were to
make Mr. Chase their candidate, fee
i democrats, uoiu iSorth and South,
wouiii vote tor urant, where one Re
publican, black or white, in either see
lion would vote for Chase."
e think the Time hero underrates
tho perfection of the Demoeratio dis
cipline. Abstractly, one would sav
that nothing could bo more dillictift
than to induce the Irish and Dutch of
Cincinnati to vote for Gen. Sam. Cary
an avowed Republican, "a Maine
law fanatic," ivo, iVc; but Wash. Mc
Lean held ii) his linger nnd said,
"Vote for Cary!" and they all went it.
If Judge Chase shall be nominated
in Tammany Hall, 4th of July next,
there will next morning bo nt least
one million Democrats swearing that
they won't touch him with a ten-foot
pole. A week later, these will bo re
duced to half a million; in a month.
to one hundred thousand: and these.
by Election day, will have dwindled
to a point invisiblo to the naked eye.
Ti:.i..'t i.... tr l-.i .1 i .
'iuu t jk.ii. uums protest, in inc last
Democratic National Convention, that
his fellow rebels in Maryland would
never vote for McClellan? let look
at the solid and heavy vote for him of
diaries, l'rincc Ueorgc s. St. Mary s.
and all the pro-Rebel counties !
We concur with the Times to this
extent that it is now too late to beat
Grant and Colfax with Chase and
Hancock, Chase and Dix, or anv oth
er ticket. Wo think a majority of the
voters have made up their minds to
have Gen. Grant in the White House
next March. If, then, the world is
suro to bo burned up beforo 1872, the
Times' calculation is a sound one.
But, assuming that the general con
flagration may be mercifully postponed.
the Times takes too narrow a view
of the situation. If you arc doomed
to be beaten in a race, there is still a
choice between running it on a4lcad
horse and a live one. , The Wlfig par
ty was beaten on Henry Clay in 1844;
but it was stronger a month after than
a month before that defeat carried
the next Houso of Representatives,
and elected the next President. It
was beaten again on Gen. Scott in
1852, and had hardly strength enough
to kick ever afterward.
If the Demoeratio party shall now
be beaten on a . Chauncey Burr and
Clay Dean Copperhead platform, It is
beaten to stay. Repudiation crushes
it in the North; Kegro proscription
and degradation iorbids it to rise in
tho South,' It fixes itself on tho for
lorn position of the Tories of tho Rev-,
olution the Federalists after the War
of 1812. And perhaps this is better
for , the country, as it certainly is the
more probable solution. . A- locomo

so happily supplement it, so entirely

delegates as much for this clear and
auspicious declaration of principles as

with the responsibilities of legislation.

the national authority or to destroy the

been tho polo star of those who have
inflexibly insisted on tho Congressional
policy your Convention so cordially
endorsed. Baffled by Executive oppo
sition anil oy persistent rclusal (

prollered by Congress, justice and
public safety nt last combined to toacli
us. that only by an enlargement of
suH'ragc in those States could the de
sired end bo attained, and that it was
even more safo to give tho ballot to
those who loved the Union than to those
who had sought ineffectually to destroy
it. The assured success of this legis
lation is being written on the adamant
of history and will be our triumphant
vindication, nioro cieariy, too. than
ever before docs tho nation now recog
nize that the greatest glory of a repub
lic is that if throws the shield of its
protection over the humblest nnd
weakest of its people and vindicates
the rights of the poor and the powerless
as faithfully as those -of the rich and
the powerful. . I rejoice, too, in this
connection, to find in your platform
too iraniv anu ieaness avowal that
naturalized citizens must be protected
abroad at every hazard as though they
were native born. Our whole people
are foreigners, ordescofidantsof foreign
ers. Our fathers established by arms
their right to bo called a nation. It
remains for us to establish the right
and welcome to our shores all who arc
willing by oaths of allegiance to become
American citizens. , Perpetual alle
giance, as claimed abroad, is only
another name -for perpetual bondage,
and would make all slaves to the. soil
where first they saw the light. Our
national cemeteries' prove hdw fuith
fully these oaths of fidelity to' the
adopted land have been sealed iii the
life-blood of thousands upon thousands.
Should wo not then be faithless to the
dead if wo did not protect their living
brethren in the full enjoyment of that
nationality for which side by bide with
the native born, our soldiers of foreign
birth laid dowu their lives,' It was
fitting, too, that the representatives of
a party which had proved so true to
national duty in time of war, should
speak so clearly in time of peace for
the maintenance, untarnished, of the
national honor, natioual credit and
good faith as regards its debt,
the cost ot our national existence

In. short, he didn't think she was
especially created for tho purpose of
waiting on him, and wasn't under the
im nression that it disgraced a man to
lighten a wife's cares a little. That's
the reason that Eve did not need a
hired girl, and with it was the reasons
that her fair descendants did. ' " -

We anuounee this morning the death
of a distinguished citizen and a na
tive of Pennsylvania James Br
CHANA.v, who was tho X Vth Presi
dent of the United States, born in
Franklin county. Anril 22d. 1791.
died Juno 1st, at his residence near
Lancaster. He bad been for somtf
months an invalid, but, latterly, hoped
that ho might regain as much health
as is naturally permitted to soventy
seven years of ago. These hones were
not realized he experienced a re
lapse, sank rapidly and passed away
at an early hour yesterday morning,
retaining couciousness to almost his la
test moments.
The deceased was during a long
and conspicuous career actively nnd
influeiitiaily identified with the polit
ical events nnd thciniblio interests of
his Stato and of tho nation. Called to
tho bar in his 22d year' he speedily
acquired reputation, and in his 24th
year entered upon public life ns rt
member of the State Legislature, In
1820 ho was chosen a representative in
Congress, remaining therein ten years.
In 1 831 , he was sent by President Jack-.
son as Minister to Rus ia, andjnegotia-'.'
ted nn important commercial trcfaty,
with that power. In 1833, rctnrning
home, he was elected to the United '
States Senate, serving twelvo venrs. '
In 1815 he became Secretary, of Stato '
under Mr. Polk, and negotiated a set
tlement of tho Oregon boundary ques
tion, having aided iu its consummation,
by tho advice of tho Senato. Retiring '
from the Cabinet In 1819 ho remained '
in private life until appointed by Presi-
dent Pioree iu 18G3 Alinister to Eng- ,
land, in which capacity his participa- ,
tion in the celebrated Ostend Confer
enco meeting of our Ministers at En- '
ropean Courts to discuss tho propriety '
of tho proposed acquisition of Cuba, i
was tho most prominent ovont of,
his mission. Returning home rin
1850, he was selected as the Democrat-
ic candidate for the Presidency. His '
election, tho four years of his admin-
istration and his retirement at its end )
from publio life, aro matters familiar ,
ly in tho memory of our renders,
A Federalist in the outset of his pc J
litical career, ho btecamo n Democrat
of the strictest sect, nnd livetl long
enough to witness- the completo final ,
triumph of tho Federalism which ho ;
had laborqjl for fifty years to oyer- '
throw. Moro consistent iu other re
spects, ho survived to behold the abso-
lute nnd peqictnal extinguishment of J
the institution' of slavery which ha .
had from thg earliest years defended .
as an essential element in our oolltica!
privileges enjoyed ..by tho Southern'
States, and ns uniformly,' and with'-
even moro ability and zeal, an orrpo-r
ncnt of the Northern agitation of the ,
high question of Liberty for all menr
ho looked out from tho retirement of
age to' behold the sectionalism which"
ho had denounced at the North, array- .
ing itself at the South in arms againstH
the Union, and nt last conquered into
obedience, its special privileges ob it-
orated, and that Northern ngitation,
which ho had deplored ripening into
tho Constitutional mastery of the des-'
tinlcs of the Repnblic. Entering ur-4
on tho Chief Magistracy in 1857, at rf
period of more than ordinary political
repose Kansas furnishing the nJy
1 l' . e i , ' .J J
veAu quusiiuns vi our pontics uo
found tho country quiet, prosperous"
and ns firmly united as the essential-
contradictions then embodied in if-!
Constitution could admit. He retired I
at tho end of four years after from at
great trust which he had so- adminis
tered as to bring the Republic: to tho '
utmost verge of a fatal ruin. As
politician and statesman he had, in all
her public career, aimed at the pacifi
cation of sectional questions in our do- 'm
mestic polit:"s,nnd he lived to witness
under his own Executive administra--tion,
the inevitable culmination of that
policy which he had denounced, in tho
most sanguinary and critical rebellion !
ever known to a civilized people. And 1
the pacification whidh he had desired -
cimc at lost, not as the fruits of Iris-,
policy, but in spite of it, the naturally
matured and victorious issue of tho
Gon-given instincts of a free people-.''
Charged Ly his country with foreign
trust, he Vvas moderately successful.
and a fortunate diplomist rather than?
intervals of such employments abroad
his career of nearly fifty years in our-
domestic politics, however, It may havo
seemed at times to be marked by tern-'
porary partizan triumphs, will be re-
corded in the history of the Republig '
a.s a career of mistakes, and of fail-,
arcs, crowned finally by the most fatal ?
proof of his incapability to com pre-
bend and be faithful to tho dominant
spirit of our constitutions. How fatal
