EX-SPEAKER CHASE AGAIN.

The ExSpeaker is as rabd as was ever any
canine quadruped in dog-days. BE flies into
paroxysm whenever the name Of Judge Will
MOT is mentioned He seems to be afflicted
with monomania on the subject. His last ago
nv is characteristic of the man. and shows how
deep man can dive in the pool of duplcity
and deceit when he undertakes to do the dirty
work of another
Having spent some weeks in Harrisburg, en-
deayoring to effect the election OF SIMON CAM
ERoN he becomes possessed Of letter, from
Hon. Dawn WILMor to Mr.. CAMERON, express
sing what we have do doubt every man in the
County will coinside with, namely, that his elec-
ton would under certain circumstances, be pre-
ferabe to the success of those who have been
foremost in sitting the free voice of Pennsylva-
MIA, and making her freemen appear as the tools
of the Slavery propagandists. This letter,
which in itself contains nothing obnoxious, did
not suit Mr.. CHAsE's purposes, but by the era
sion of line it is made to appear as if the
writer's preference was for CAMERON over all
his rivals. To say nothing of the dccency OF
publishing pirate letter, always regarded as
sacred amongst gentlemen, what should be
thought of the positive dishonesty which would
stoop to such disgraceful and dirty trick J.
To convict another of the very crime Of which
Mr. CHASE is truly guilty, be is ready to pub
lish private letters, mutilated and altered so as
to convey a false impression. We leave the
public to Judge of the baseness of such a course.
Below will be found letter addressed to
the editor of the Harrisburg Herald, by b.
LApoRTE, Esq. Upon the appearance of the
publication by Mr. CHASE, the dirty trick was
recognized and fortunately a copy of the letter
was in the hands of Mr.. SruRDEvASr. Will
the convicted falsifer longer have the assurance
to ask the public to place any confidence in his
statements?
CHASE, wILM0T AND CAMERON.
HOUSE, OF REPRESENTATIVES, Feb "a, 1855.
Mr.. STEPBgS MILLER--Dedr Sir-To-days mail brings

Below il the true copy taken by Major Sturdevant =:

frequently expressed preference for you over all your r.
walls of the old line democracy Buchanan, Forney Hirs
Dawson, &C. &C., and this when it was supposed the
party would have the undiputed power to make an ell

1t will be readily noticed that the suppression OF the
qualifying phrase of the old line democracy. changes
the meaning of the sentence and makes an
absolute preference for Cameron over everybody else IN
stead of preference for him the old liners who
have done much to debauch public sentiment in this
State the question of slavery extension and domination
So far the conduct of Mr. Chase in this matter Is con-
