and boldly aim-are but SO many short
stages in the long and bloody road to the
distant goal a which they would finally
arrive.
II is because these ultra Abolition.
lists have ceased to employ the instru

made their cause political, and have ap-

CLAY DENoUNGES CHASE AS
AN ABOLITIONIST.
In a speech in the United States Sen
ate, in 1851, Mr.. Clay denounced Chase
as an Abolitionist. He said
Upon my word, if the Senate { Mr.
Chase does not know what Abolition
list means, when he has prdcticed the
doctrine for so m0ny gears, | am sure.
[ am unable to instruct or Inform him"
CHASE IN FAVOR OF STATE
NULLIFICATION OF THE Flu
GITIVE SLAVE LAW.
On the 22d of August, 1851, in a
speech in the United States Senate, as
reported in the Congressional Globe,
Chase said
&c agree with the honorable Senator
then, to this extent; that the fugitive
clause of the Constitution constitutes
an article of compact between the
States; and, 1 think, this proposition
once being established, it will be ex-
tremely difficult for any legal mind, by
any train of logical reasoning, to derive
from that compact between States a
power OF Legislation to the Federal Gov
ernment. l repeat that, in my judg-
ment, each State judge for itself as to
the character of the compact, and the
extent of the obligations created by it."
CHASE ADHERES TO THESE
OLD OPINIONS.
In his speech accepting the nomina-
ton for Governor at the 18th of July
Convention, Cha se said
On many public questions not now
directly i'll issue [ have had occasion
heretofore to express my opinions in
various forms. Those opinions remain
on record and unchanged"

British officers, shall assert his freedom,

it as the dawn ofa political millennium +,
