COLUMBIA, Jone 10. j It can scar e ely be said of the late Democn Convention, 1 "Like shadows o'er the heath they came, And, so departed, leaving no trace behind." A vast amount was done-more than appe upon the surface, more perhaps than the ber second thought of the masses will endoi Bat it was done adroitly, well, and has mad point in the political history of the State wh we all shall have occasion to remember. 1 action of this Convention illus tra tes what n be done., by the aid of a little patience, per .veranee and sweet oil-especially the oil. : ! A party of gentlemen meet at a private hoi In Charleston. They find that twenty-ft District s or South Carolina have begun a 8acce88fully carried forward a movement whi has left them- entirely ont in the cold, general principles they disagree with the mi plank of the platform adopted. Qualified s frage to the colored man was a step too pi mature in the first place, and in the seco -place it was very important to the interests South Carolina that more delegates should appointed to the New York Convention, these fellow-citizens held a larger meeting Hibernian Hall, where they adjourned meet in Columbia. They assembled again-say twenty-five thirty from Charleston, and at least one repi tentative each from ten other districts. Tl first point to gain was the good will and c operation of the Execrative Committee rep: seating the Democracy of about four-fifths the State. Gen. Wade Hampton was its chi? and the influence of Gen. Wade Hampto whose name, as Mr. Simonton said, is ' tower of strength," was not to be ignored, f they commenced work. A Committee of Co: florence was appointed, and arrangements mat for an immediate pow-wow. ' The chief and only point of difference wi the negro plank of the April Convention-tl assertion that the negro is an integral elemei of the body politic, and that, as soon as pra? ticable, he should be invested with the right i qualified suffrage. But for this bone of coi tention, the present assemblage would ha.\ Swallowed the April platform without cfaokm? and only asked the priviledge of sending somi body to New York who wished very much to ii present the d ar "opie. ? "Coula the ?t? .eaJ? be recohciled"?"" Won! the Executive Committee, speaking for its win of the Democracy, take the back track on s grave an issue, or agree to say nothing aboc it? Either course was a consummation dc voatly wished for. It was the concessio sought as the basis of compromise, and th primal "element of harmony between the tw Conventions. The committees, met. On the one part wa Gen. Hampton, Cob J. P. Thomas, J. D. Pope F. W. Hellas:vr and Major S. P. Hamilton. O the other was Hon. James B. Campbell, Get ?M. W. Gary, Messrs.. Henry Mciver, Morti haet Glover, F. J. Pelzer, A. A. Gilbert and Jnc jHanckel. ' Never was Mr. Campbell more softly eic quent. Never did velvety persuasiveness mor ^adroitly cover an iron will. " Never did sabr out more keenly than the ?harp, direct, incisi v arguments of Gary, who, by the way, look the very impersonation of a battle-blade. Gen Wade Hampton'sat on the left of Mr. Campbel and Cob* Thomas on the right. The contes ?began. The condition of political affairs in th? State was reviewed: the April Convention wai .described ai having been convened for cortan local purposes, to effect wbich, the bait of qual ified suffrage was thrown to the colored man the logical results flowing from the bestowal o 'the privilege were pointed put, and the banefu influence of such an issue, introduced into th? national canvass, especially by South Carolina was dw eit upon .at length and with force. I was urged that delegates should be permittee to go to New York untrammelled by any reso lotions or instructions; and -that wisdom die tated the propriety of withdrawing from publi< consideration a question which at this time when so much depended on harmony in om own-State ranks, was so full of danger. The Executive Commit tea talked long auc well. Ably and with all the fervor of honest conviction Colonel Thomas sustained his posi? tion. He churned that qualified suffrage was a weapon in the hands of the Democrats, which in the recent elections they had wielded vastly to their own advantage, especially in the uppei portion of the State; that intelligent colored men were affiliating freely with the party, and in time would enable them to break down the vast Radical majority by which it was antagon? ized.' Therefore, as a measure of exp?die ney and of principle, he insisted that qualified suf? frage should be one of the cardinal features of South Carolina Democracy, and not be hid un? der the bushel of the Charleston Convention. It was evident, however, that the opinions en j tertained by the speaker were not those of the majority-at least, that this was not the hour to bring them out prominently. So, with a view to a compromise, the resolutions pub? lished in THE DAILY NEWS yesterday were adopted as the joint expression of the two committees, and, with a large outlay of con? gratulations, the two bodies adjourned. These resolutions are now supposed to re? present the sentiment, and to be, in fact, the platform of tho Democracy of the State. They are strong, short, .and to the point. They do not commit anybody to negro suffrage, and, having been endorsed as a whole by the Exe? cutive Committee, it follows, as a matter of course, that the April Convention, as an accommodation to the Charleston Conven? tion, have abandoned so muoh of their princi? ples and pledges as relate to the question of negro suffrage. .fdMft The result shows what boldness, pertinacity and shrewdness, when exercised by even a small minority,' will accomplish when su? premacy is the crown. The next victory won waa in seeming as the representatives of the ten distriots in the Con? vention a number on the Executive Commit? tee equal to that appointed by twenty-one dis? tricts. Finally a number of gentlemen were made happy by being selected as delegates to the New York Convention, and, to wind up tho whole affair, General Wado Hampton, the <eader of ?he opposite wing, was taken posses sio?f of, and, bj a grand rhetorical coup de main, made the head and front of this Jone offending. Diplomacy and good management could not go further. - The impression which largely prevails among the delegates is that Chase has the inside track in the presidential race; but the nomina? tion of Hancock would undoubtedly corry joy to the hearts of the people. Whoever may be nominated will, it is believed, unite the white race and divide the blacks, unless money is freely sent here for their purchase, which is not hkcly tobe the case. PERSONNE. POLITICAL. SUMMARY. THE NEW YOB K CONVENTION. The New York correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger writes under date of June 6 : There must be, after ah, something In that movement to make Chief Justice Chase the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Among the straws showing how the wind bio ws-straws now for tho first time visible may he mentioned the almost unanimous adop? tion of resolutions to that effect by th2 Consti? tutional Union General Committee, at their meeting last evening; the expression of a simi? lar character by tho Brooklyn Eagle (always a staunch Democratic journal), and the marked leaning in the same direction of recent edito? rial feelers in the Albany Argos. The Pendle? ton men acknowledge that there is some.hing going on that does not look right, but thus far they are puzzled to "get the hang of it." The city hotels are anticipating a rich har? vest from the coming crowd. The New Eng? land delegations are negotiating with the As? tor House as their headquartes. The ?South? ern delegates will quarter at the New York and Southern hotels farther up Broadway. The Pendleton delegation expect to occupy the Me? tropolitan. Governor Seymour's friends, with those of General Hancock, will quarter at the St. Nicholas. j The Committee of Arrangements, it may be added, have engaged the Academy of Music (adjoining Tammany Hall), together with the circus building on the other side oftheBtreet, at the corner of Irving Place and Fifteenth street, for the purpose of holding a senes of great public meetings nightly, while the Con? vention is in session. THE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN HE. CHASE AND THE D EH OCHA TIC PASTY-IMPERATIVE CONDI? TIONS 07 THE CHIEF JUSTICE. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes under date of the 6th inst.: The speculation upon the terms of capitula? tion between Chief Justice Chase and the De? mocratic party still continues, but from all that has thus far transpired, it is very difficult to determine the actual status of the negotiations. Perhaps either the party of the first part, or Horatio. Seymour, S. L. M. Barlow and Dan. Yoorhees. of the party of the second .part, could give the details, if they were so disposed; but they do not seem disposed. However, your correspondent has become satisfied with? in the last few days of certain imperative con? ditions, which' enter into the terms proposed by the party of the first part, and which, when thoroughly understood by the second party, are altogether likely to defeat the surrender. I will add that these facts come so direct that they maybe implicitly relied upon. . First, then, the Chief Justice insists upon makins; Ms own platform. He will not be a candidate upon any other. He says he can change his party, perhaps, but not his princi? ples. Hence if the Democratic nomination is accompanied with an exposition of principien at variance with his well known views on suf? frage, finance and reconstruction, he cannot accept it. His position, in brief, I understand to be this : Reconstruction must be accepted as an accomplished facti suffrage in the re? constructed States, universal or Impartial, must also be held to be an irreversible fact; the credit of the government must bo maintained in good faith, its contracts carried out in letter and spirit, specie payments resumed at an early day, and the national bank system protected. These are the loading Eoints which he demands shall be conceded to im, and if conceded, what will the Demo? cratic parly have left to fight for? But, on the other hand, he is not without some mate? rial which, while he does ?ot regard it in the light of a concession to the Democracy, yet af? fords, a common ground open which it so hap? pens they can mutually stand. This consists of two ideas-universal amnesty (compensated for by universal suffrage) and opposition to the nillitarv element of reconstruction, es? pecially in its assumption of judicial pow? ers. He would restore.. the Southern States to their positions in the Union at the earliest possible time, and give them once more the sovereign control of their own affairs, subject only to the changes of condition wrought by the war. He thinks the Democratic party are bound to be defeated, unless they ac? cept the results of the war in good faith, which includes reconstruction of course, and cease fighting over settled issues. Now, if any one supposes the Democratic party will surrender oa such terms, they can have little faith in its record or its honesty. It never wits a party of expediency. PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES. The Washington correspondent of the Louis? ville Journal writes: There is a good deal of fear expressed less tiie President will not support the nominee of the Democratic party. But I am able to give you/Some positive information on this bead, in conversation with an Indiana politician, who called at the White House yesterday to congra? tulate its occupant upon his acquittal, the sub? ject came up. The Indianian suggested that the Democrats are a little afraid of the Presi? dent. "What are they afraid of ?" Mr. Johnson asked. "Do they think I'm not a go jct enough Democrat ? Is "not my record sound aoongh ? What is the matter ?"* "They think you have not come out equare enough in your appointments." "Do they mean Sohofield ?" "Yes, that's one thing.*' "How could I do any better ? I had to take what I could get. The Senate would not con? firm any one else." "But they say you are not in sympathy with the Democratic party." "I don't know what you call in sympathy. I certainly have done what I could against the Radicals. I was born and raised a Democrat, and consider myself as good a one at this mo? ment as I ever was in my life." "Do you mean to support, if I may be allow? ed to ask, the Now York nominee ? ' "I can't do anything else. I've nowhere else to go. If I did not I could not do otherwise. The Democrats are too suspicious of me. They are too exacting. They don't do me justice. If they'll go ou and do right they may always be easy about Andy Johnson. CHEEP JDBTICE CHASE ON THE SITUATION. The following confidential letter from Chief Justice Chase to a personal friend distinctly marks the present position and sentiments of Mr. Chase on important political questions: WASHINGTON, May 25,18C8. My Dear Sir: You are right in believing that I "shall never abandon the great principles, for the success of which I have given my en? tire life." I adhere to my "old creed of equal rights," without one jot 01 tittle of aoatement. I shall be glad if the new professors of that creed adhere to it as faithfully. I am amazed by the torrent of invectives by which I am drenched. Almost everything al? leged as fact is falsehood out of the whole cloth. Where an allegation has a little fact in it the fact is so perverted and travestied that it becomes a falsehood. I know no motive for all this except disappointment that impeachment bas not thus far proved a success, coupled with a belief that 1 have done something to prevent its being a success. I have not been a partisan of impeachment certainly; but I have not been a partisan on the other side. As presiding of? ficer over the trial my conscience testifies that I have been striotly impartial; and I nm sure that any one who reads tue report will say so. Individually I have my convictions and opin? ions, but I have very seldom niven utterance to them. Indeed, I do not think that the case, in any of its aspects, bas been the subject of conversation between myself and more than four or five senators, and then only casually and briefly. No senator will say that I have sought to influence him. The real ground of denunciation is that I have not been a partisan of conviction ; and this denunciation I am willing to bear. They may denounce and abuse mc and read mo out of the party if they choose. I follow my old lights, not the new. What the developments of the fut ure miv be I know not. I neither expect nor desire to be a candidate for office again. It would, how? ever, gratify me exceedingly if the Democratic party would take ground which would assure the party against all attempts to subvert the principle of universal suffrage established in eight, and to be ^established in all, of the Southern constitutions. Then, 1 think, the future of the .great cause-for which I have labored /so long-would be secure, acd I should not regret my absence from political labors. SALMON P. CHASE. THE MEIT SECTIONAL CONTBOVEBST. A writer in the New York Times prospects politically in this wise: Among other subjects yet to be opened for discussion is the Radical difference in the ma? terial interests of the West' and East. The South, as a section, is too weak to make a further sectional fight. It must join one of the two great sections. The war will be of capital against numbers. The West will re? present tue latter. It will demand legislation favorable to opening the West and the East In? dia trade, by way of the Illinois and the Mis? sissippi. Thc East will not like this. The West will wish to escape the duties imposed on its foreign consumption. It will insist, per? haps, that the Eastern bondholders shall accept exactly the same currency in pay? ment of the Federal bonds that was paid in for the purchase of the bonds. When the numbers of tho West are arrayed on these and similar questions, it is not impossible that the prin? ciples of numerical rule which have been affirmed in all our latter legislation may be applied to senatorial representatives. Why indeed should the Federal Senate be organized on the basis of au extinct statehood ? Why should not the Federal Senate, as the State Senates, be based on an enlarged ratio of num? bers? If each constituency of 100,000 is en? titled to a member of Congress, why should not each constituency of 600,000 be represented by a senator ? This would appear a simple and a just rule, especially under tho new dispensa? tion. We need not perhaps anticipate each sectional troubles, but they seem inevitable. The South having been extinguished as an equal and independent section, finds itself more in accord with the Weet, and will file in under its banner. The gratuitous intolerance and prolonged persecutions of the East cannot be forgotten, and upon a collision, even upon a comparison of interests between that and the Wes torn sections, there can-be no doubt as to tbo action of the South.

This is the way to move in the matter. - r~ -The Anderson Intelligencer says : "Not? withstanding the trickery resorted to by the desperate lea dei s of thc defunct.

RADWAY'S SARSAPARILLA RESOLVENT, to wit : Brazil, S. A. jamaica, W. I. Briiishjndia. . Persia and Japan. (By correspondence.) Some years since it was deemed necessary for the protection of the public against the importation of spurious roots and drugs, for Congress to pass a law establishing an Inspector of Drugs in every port of entry in the United States. But this wise precaution does not prevent the importation of spurious roots, leaves and medicinal herbs. Nearly one-half of the Sarsaparillas, Parcira Brava, Peruvian Bark, Ac, brought into this country and Europe are spurious, and when prepared for medicinal purposes are, in fact, useless, and fails to produce the beneficial re? sults that the chemist and physician expect to realize. That no such objection ni.iy exist, and that the public may depend on securing the true roots in the Sareaparillian Resolvent, Dr. Radway has adopt? ed i h e.plan of gathering the several roots, kc, used in his medicines, under the direct supttvision of trusty and intelligent agents. This is an enterprise never before attempted, and it ls one long needed. The loose manner in which vegetable barks, roots, leaves, gums, and other medi? cinal substances are gathered by ignorant natives, hali savages, Hottentots, Ac, and the cupidity ol these rascals of substituting spurious for the true, in selling these roots, Ac, to traders, causes many mis? takes, and often disappoints physicians m prescrib? ing a root possessing known properties in not fulfill? ing their expectations. Hence the wisdom and liberality of Dr. Badway in adopting a plan that will secure the true and gen? uine ve getoble substances, fresh from their native soil, cultivated in gardens and attended with care. In Brazil he obtains partira brava; Jamaica, W. I., sarsaparillian; India, E. I., hemedesmus indiens; Persia, the Persian oil is expressed from the amyg| dale nut; Japan, the three newly discovered roots are grown under contract by a distinguished horticultur? ist, and the only country where these roots are grown. These Japanese roots are held in high esti? mation by the Nobles, Kaimts and distinguished savans, as purifying agent?, also in the cure of dys? pepsia, indigestion, jaundice and liver complaints, and are used as tea, after dinner beverages, and as tonic drinks, diet mixed in wine, kc, also, possess the most astonishing virtues over skin disease? and impurities of the blood. RADWAY'S SARSAPARIL? LIAN RESOLVENT is, therefore, the most perfect remedy in the world. No wonder the sarsaparillas of the shors are su'.'h poor, weak washes compared with DR. RADWAY'S SAHSAPARILLIAN. , THE ROOT ITSELF differs from nil i arsararilla roots ever seen in this country. Those wishing a pure, perfect r-mtdy to cleanse the blood and system from all impurities, try DR. RADWAY'S SARSAPARILLIAN RESOLV? ENT. Sold at No. 87 Maiden Lane New York.
