The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1851-09-10

The Republic has repeatedly called attention 10 the
fact that Senator Chase has lately in formal letter, de-
cared his intention TO Join the democratic party OF Ohio
in its present canvass and its present platform, which
ia simply an exact ranee OF the resolutions in
gard 10 The sectional controversy which the democ
sy OF that State rallied lsis, and carried the State for
Gmsra Cas- against both the Taylor wings and the Buff
to platform free soles In that canvass Senator Chase
acted openly with the free soers 1t now appears that
he has seen The odium of his past connexions, if not the
error Of his past ways II is doubtless in this view of
his case that the soers of Ohio-pow fully organ
lied as party under the wing lead OF Giddings and
Root-have in the following Resolution of their conven
ton, formally and finally abjured all party connection
with him:
"Rssoiusd That as the Hon 3. T. Chase. senator in
Congress from this State has formally Withdrawn from our
n.rty while we regret this course and that 1t may NOT Dc
injurious the of freedom. we feel II to be our dy
10 declare to the public that do not hold ourselves
ysponsibs for his official acts or recognise him as o" repre-
sentative"
In this state of facts we suggest to adro coem
porary Of the Republic that Senator Chase now stands in
exactly the same relation 10 the Ohio free soers IN
which President Fillmore stands TO the wing party as
organized in the northern States
The Republic must perceive with qualification the
Of these distinguished gentlemen stood before the country
As knorOn aboliiioni,ts"Mr Chase the Buffalo plat
FORM and Mr. Fillmore on identicdlly the platform,
u laid down in his Erie letter. written also at Buffalo,
and corroborated by the express testimony of his present
Secretary Of the Treasury, that he (Mr. Fmore) was
then, in ls4s, just what the letter showed he had been
for ten yearsa "knoton abolitioni" In this predica
ment each of these gentlemen failed 10 be sustained by
the popular vote of Ohio In 1850 and 1851 each OF them
is visited with revelation OF public duty, and each
changes his position, not his party principles. Forth
with the new course OF each is repudated by his party
that Of Mr. Chase in single convention, and that OF Mr.
Fillmore in the whole series Of wing State conventions
in Vermont Massachusetts Pennsylvania, Ohio, and all
the States of the North And the auoUed Of the
pudiaton in both is curousy identical They are
both repudiaed in order that their example may not be
injurious to the of Freedom" For this reason,
the men who stood by them BOTH while they stood the
Buffalo doctrines, will now stand by them no longer.
The soers, unable to accept the principles OF the
Ohio democracy, will not recognize the official acts OF
Mr. Chase have him for their representative For this
reason the wing party of the North unable to accept the
Compromise as final settlement will not recognise
the official acts" OF Mr. Fillmore, who characerizes it
and thus they proceed find another representative in
Gen. Scott. ......
One point only remains President Fllmore's change
and reputation have made him, in the Republics esna-
ton, sound national man. IT, by OF the same
fscts Mr. Chase SHALL 10 the view OF that Journal
sumo similar national character, then will the parallel
be a. exact in the future have shown it to be in the
past. ..
