GOV. CHASE 2ND. PRESIDENTIAL
MESSAGE.
"Putty ora the ssise."

Gov. CHASE is bound to blaze! Although
in office but little over one month, he has
issued tpo Presidential messages on Kansas
affairs, and has individually subscribed fifty
dollars to carry on the civil war in that Terri
tory.
Ridiculous as it may appear, CHASE has
actually sent in a second message to The
Legislature, founded on a circular from j.
H. LANE, c. ROBINSON, and GEO. DEITzLER,
dated Lawrence City, January 2Ist. Said
circular has the standing scare crow about
invasions,' and the usual call for money.
CHASE fulmenates fusion thunder TO exhor-
btant amount, and recommends the Legis
luture to pass resolutions, issue manifestoes,
and contribute money.
The dema9ogism of this movement is
transparent, and sckenng TO sensible minds.
1t is sham, blood and thunder manifesto,
to keep up agitation and to keep mp himself
be efore the people. while the two National
Conventions at Pittsburgh and Philadelphia,
which come off on the 22d are arranging
matters for the next Presidency Plain
Dealer. -
A motion was made that the Message BE-
laid upon the table eund printed.
Mr.. Sawyer rose to express his astonish-
ment and regret that the Governor of Ohio
should to the neglect of other great and i'm
portant questions concerning the domestic
interests of our own State, thrust into our
faces such inflsmatory Abolition doctrines
and recemmendatons as are contained in his
Message. He claimed that the Governor
was, by this very act. interfering with the
rights of the people of Kansas, who ought
| to be able and were able, to manage their
own business, and encouraging the very
state OF things which he pretends to deplore
| He had heard the Governor, in a public
| speech, on another occasion, recommend the
use ofsSharp's rifles to prevent slavery in
Kansas, and offered to give fifty dollars to
aid Abolitionists to go to Kansas, and shool
down the slave-holding citizens--und now
as Governor OF Oiiio, he is melting the very
difficulties which we all so much deprecate
| Why, sir, whereswas his voice when our owI
| citizens were shot down Ia the streets of oul
cities BY mob--and in a naighboring State
Not word was heard from him then! He
belonged to party Which respected the
| white citizen more than the negro--but thu
Governor would embroil the country ins .
! civil war, in order to befriend the neglo!--
He regretted the introduction Of this subjec,
into this body, to distract our attention from
our own important busi6ess.
The Statesman ridcules the message thus
