strates the absurdity Of Chase's denial
of abolitionism:
No ABoLtTIoNIsT!--Chase and some
of his conlederates on the State Ticket,
are stumping the State aud Indignantly
denying that either one of them is an
Aolitiouist. This is very much like
confirmed drunkard dedying that he is
a drunkard. or that he drinks more liQ.
uor than is good for him.
"No Abolltionist?" In what manner.
then, does Chase profess to be more wor-
thy the support OF the people than eth.
er Of his opponents? Ry his indignant
denial that he is an Abolilionist lie gives
the people plainly TO understand that
he do9s not propose to release one negro
now in slavery. Neither Governor Me =
dill nor single candidate on the De
mocratic State Ticket propose to eRSIaUe
one negro now free, nor do they adyo-
cate the propriety Of such thing; and
yet Chase friends have the impudence
to assert that they are slave Democrats.
TO our comprehension there seems to
be no difference in the views, on the
subject of slavery, between the man
who does not, by act or by speech, ad d.
vocate the enslavement Cf free negro,
and the man who takes special pains 10
deny that he is ia favor OF releasing
from bondage one negro who is now in
slavery. Now, it follows, as an inevita-
bic cons jquence, that If Mr.. Chase is a
more thorough anti slavery man than
Governor Medill. he must be in favor OF
such policy as will free the neSroes
now held in bondage Otherwise :here
is practically no difference. II Chase and
company don't want TO interfere IN the
suosisiing relation between master and
slave, why do they prowl over the
Stale and do their utmost TO excite
EN- bittered feelings against slave hol'
ders? Shall we be told there is no puI
pose in this, and lhut the purpose is
not the consumation OF the dazzling
scheme Of reasonable Abolitionlsml
Such a conflict in profession and III ac
ion won't answer, Mr. Chase. The mai
who is disposed TO treat his immediate
neighbor honorably, aud not TO inter
fere with his domestic relations, vii.
