Leaps headlong .down, from cliff* of pride,
To glens remote, and vallina wide.

Of hostile fortune, grasps at Tame,
Made glorious even by blast ?nd blight.

Who. in the immeasurable might of love,
Still ready for all sacrifice, devotes
His manhood, and the promise of his days,
To the one object precious ii? his faith.

For soothing absolute sorrow, grim as

Whi< h yt. death brings not. He endures,

Tho Chase Faction on Negro Suf
frage-Tho Vagabond Sanders oe
Southern Rights.
Two remarkable political manifestoes
will bm found in another part of thu
, paper. The one is addressed 'To th?
Friends of Humanity ani Justice,
?nd co nes frotn the radical negro suf
?frage faction of which Chief Justice
.Clia.sn is the chief engineer and lVe
tudential champion; and the other i
from the rebel. vagabond and outlaw
George 2J. Sanders, in " nada, ad
dressed 'To thu Pal riots; of the South'
i. e." the rebels-on Southern rights
* and the way to secure those rights bj
? Southern votes. The tie^r? sn liragi
circular unquestionably lays down tin
campaign issue of Judge Chase for th<
Presidency, and we think it quite pru
liable that some such Northern an?
Southern copperhead and rebel prc
gramme as that suggested by Sander
will guide a radical Presidential move
nient on tho other extreaie.
The negro suffrage mauifesto, ema
nat'mg doubtless from the getter3-up t
tho late Coo.per Institute meeting i
honor of General Grant, starts frot
.the text-'Shall colored loyal cit'Zer
of the United States be deprived i
the vole while it is given to whi'
traitor??' 'Shall traitors (whites) I
rewarded for their treason by g-ivir
them the franchise, while loyal nu
(the Southern blacks) are punished I
their loy.'dty by taking it awa)
These questions are repeated in vario
modifications', and then follows t!
assertion that 'the proposition to ci
prive tho loyal colored citizens of tbi
ilote, and to fut over and against the
the sole power of tho Slate Govei
ments-South-into the Lands
rebels, ia the great measure of reec.
ptrttction proclaimed by Preside
Johnson.' The question is next put
'Shall thid proposed measure of t
present Administration bofc sanction
aud sustained?' And then this call
made upon the people. 'Let 1
people arriver.'
Here we have uot only the party
and the issue for a direct fight with
the Administration, but a declaration
of war and an appeal to the people.
Then we have numerous quotations
from high authorities in support.of
negro suffrage, und numerous prece?
dents of its exercise, North and South,
to show that this extension of the suf?
frage is not only right and proper, and
not at all dangerous, but that, as
things now stand down South, it i->
absolutely necessary fur the public
safety. This circular will be sown
broadcast North and South, and upon
the sharply defined- issue presented
between the claims of the loyal black
population of the South through all
the war, and the disloyal whites, it will
have a very considerable influence
upon the public mimi, especially in tho
North. Meantime Judge Chase is
making a tour of the Southern States,
and??3 doing all he can in favor of
negro suffrage in that quarter. His
retainers will probably follow with
such appeals to the Southern emanci?
pated blacks as may render them dif?
ficult of riianflgetneiit until they get
the concession of the right to vote.
There is still this other argument pre?
sented in support of this concession;
that without it the unconverted South?
ern rebel whites will carry the vote of
every Southern State, in every shape
and form, in favor of the repudiation
of the National debt-Jeff's debt
having been settled in that way, Iiis
original Mississippi plan of repudiation.
So much for the platform and pro?
gramme of Judge Chase for the sue
cession against the administration ol
President Johnson. Wheh it is re?
membered, too, that Judge Chase has
H. powerful body of electioneering fol?
lowers in the custom houser, interna!
revenue officers and other Treasury
agents, President Johnson, for the
unity of his administration, may find
it necessary before long lo put in
practice, on an extensive scale, hit
favorite doctrine of rotation. The
Scriptural maxim upon which Abra?
ham ?Lincoln brought himself into thc
foreground as a great political leadei
in 1S59, against Douglas, was this
that *a house divided against it?el
cannot stand.' The unity of the Re
publican party is a small matter; bu'
the unity of nil the working machinen
of the Administration U a thing o
some practical importance, aud par
licujarly in this great work of recon
strflction. Chief Justice Chase ant
his radical negro suffrage faotion an
in the way to make some trouble ii
the Administration camp, and betweei
the two races in the South, and in th<
country r.t Targe, and ihe Presiden
should look into this business.
The manifesto of Sanders si m pb
means another political organization ii
the South for another..rebellion.* IT
has the same opinion of Presiden
Johnson that he and Booth and Com
pany had .of President Lincoln-lie i
a 'tyrant.' Sanders does not like inn

they perjure themselves freely, an
that they call upon their Norther
friends to meet them in convention i

MORMONS ON THEIR WAY TH THE
NEW JKUV.SAI.EM.-(Jn Thursday last,
630 converts to Mormonism landed at
Castle Garden, New York, fresh
from Europe. One-half were femal.es..
Nearly every age was represented.
558 Mormons from Hamburg, chiefly
North Germans, aro now on the way
to New York. Tho World says that
tho mass of "these emigrants are now
profoundly ignorant,- That paper
further says:
Ao?t t&>-thitds of them were Eng?
lish, of the extremest cockney reli?
gion. Mormonism may cure the souls
of these but it cannot mend their
dialect. They took possession of the
land as soon as they arrived on it,
dropped .their bags, beds, and tinnery
immediately, and taking huge clasp
knives from their pockets began to cut
bread and cheese, poking it down their
throats with the knife. The Londoner
was there-he who' goes out for a
thoughtful walk on Sabbath mon.ing
with a bull terri o v under his, arm;
the Manchester man, stoop backed by
working at the loom, and heaps ol'
Welehmen, short of body and solid
face. These Welch are obeying iii
this immigalion an ethnological, rather
than a reftgious law. They have
resisted for centuries any effort, to be
denationalized, or to absorb their lan?
guage and habits in those of their
conquerors. So they are quitting their
Welch mountain-* for the valley of
Deseret, and accepting polygamy for
the sake of a sanctuary.
Thc lan i which produced Goethe
and Lessing contributed to the scene at
Castle Garden many buxom maidens
in blue stockings and short petticoats,
whom bonnets were, an aversion and
teeth brushes in vain. They will doubt?
less make excellent wives in the New
Jerusalem, bu'- one of them should he
enough for ordinary human nature.
Tiiey ate their lunch in our presence,
ami judging by its amount wc thought
it, their day's ration. Theru were some
Scotch in the party, and we were told,
three Irishmen. It is not, probable
that t'ne Scotch converts will become
extensive polygamists, if expense is
to be the leading feature* of tho Mor?
mon economy. The Irish Mormons'
lotiked out of place. Paddy, with
four wives'eft his arm, would cut an
awkward figure anywhere.
