Mr.. Lewis said that the idea had been indus.
triously circulated that Mr.. Chase and he could
not work together. This was great mistake
True, two years ago Mr.. Chase took step which
his judgment did not coufrm, but from bis long ac-
quaintance with him, he had doubt he was sim
cere and houest in taking. 1t was a wrong step
as he now sees, aud rs we all believe. But from
the beginning he had never doubted his honesty
aud integrity Of purpose. At no time could he
not have voted for him for any office. If there is
a warm true hearted man in the Union, that man
s SaIolnou P. Chase.
| Judge Spalding said he fully endorsed the senti
ments of Mr.. Lewis. He spoke in eulogy of Mr.
Chase, and sail that whatever difference once ex
isted they were all now united all joined hands in
the great work of the redemption cf the State.
! Mr.. - said he wanted to know whether Mr..
Chase would support our State ticket before he
could support the resolutions. He vuied the Lo-
cotoco State ticket before, and if he were resolved
to do SO again he never would vote for him.
Mr.. Brown said he saw Mr. Chase two weeks
1 ago at Washington, and knew that he was desi-
rous that a state ticket should be formed. The
leading men-Mann, Sumner, Hale, Adams, &c.,
had the fullest confidence in Mr.. Chase, friend
of Liberty, and as of talents and charac-
ter. He told him that State ticket of Free Dem
ocrats should have his warmest support.
i The President, (Mr. Briukerhoof.) said he
d hoped "A reSoIutions yyouId npru He Ind faIt
that MIR. Chase honest pure hearted man.
Before he left his old political associates he had
correspondence with him, and to him and his in-
fuence he attributed much of his present views
and feelings. He madea false step when he LETT
the Free Democrats, but he soon saw the error,
and he was manfully atoned for it. Let him who
never committed an error, step forth and reproach
him.. He could not. When he faltered Chase
was his support.
/ Mr.. Harnlin said he had This day received a
letter from Mr.. Chase urging the nomination of
the State ticket.
Mr.. Parish said no one had been more intimate
with Mr.. Chase than he had, for many years
His heart is right. He knew it to be SO. If he
knew man of integrity and principle, that man
was Mr.. Chase. That he committed great er-
FOR, two years ago, all of US know and feel. He
thought be could convert the Lecoeoco party, (he
whoull not call them the Democratic party'be
cause thsy were nrt,) to the cause of liberty. He
had found out his error, and had returned. He
hoped the resolution would be adopted.
Mr. Edward Wade said he never doubted Mr..
Cilase's good designs in taking the step he did
1t was great error-an an egregi Gus error, and
it seemed almost impossible that wise man could
have committed it. 1t knocked into f up North
1t came very rear destroying US. lie ree' m
f mended to go to the Democracy, when it was
as wicked and impentent as Judas Iscariot. The
Democrntic party seized this TO unhorse US. They
go. our feetout of the stirrup, and turned the sad
die under the horses belly. But that is past
