The Opposition to Chase-An Appeal to Henry
Clay Wings by the Dayton Journal.

A correspondent Of The Columbus Journal
The central Abolition organ, ha, ing mendO,
ciously asserted that CHASE stands where HEN
ny CLAY stood on the slavery question, the
Dayton Journal the old-line, CLAY Wing or,
gan OF Montgomery County, nakes the follow
ing spirited reply. The Dayton Wing papel
says:
seriously, when the great zane of Henry
| Clay is invoked TO bring his friends to the sup,
port Of Salmon P. Chase, il would seem that
impudence aud inSOlence had attained its
utmost limit. The Kentucky statesman, with
his great national heart and his patriotic aspi,
r%ations, nov that be has gone 'where the
lcicked cease from troubling is Landed for his
anti slavery sentiments, and placed side by
side with Salmon p. Chase ! How long is ii
since this Same Salmon 7. Chase and his
friends hunted and prosecuted Henry Clay be-
cause he was a STAKEHOLDER, deserted him when
o candidate for the Presidency, gloated over
the modification which touched his generous
and sensitive spirit to the very quick, and
tended 80 bring his gray hairs in sorrow 10 the
grave p Is ii now, for the first time that
Henry Clay is found 10 have been an anti
slavery man ! Away with such hypocrisy =
If the interests Of Mr.. Chase are 10 be advanc-
ed, let it be done in some other way than by
invoking The great name OF Henry Clay in that
behalf. Ii is an insult 10 his me mory, and 10
those who honoTed The great statesman while
living, and still cherish the recollection Of his
patriotic and self sacrificing devotion TO that
country, the perpetuity OF whose honor and
glory was the great concern Of his life, and
the desires for which even The coming ofdeath
itself could not quench. But the ardent friend
of this Mr.. Chase, who thinks like Unto Mr..
Clay on a great political question. does not
leave his readers without o testimony Of his
sincerity in making this unnatural assimilat on.
He closes his article with this paragraph
"The people sent to Columbus a majority of
delegates in favor Of Chase, and he was nomi-
mated, and should be elected by one hundred
majority, and then if the South
wishes 10 divide the Union, lei it be done 0nd
