Gov. Ohase on nlsunion.


The newspaper report Of Gov. Chase
response to the Mayor Of Baltimore, on
behalf Of the guests from the western
cities, at the reception Of the latter, last
Saturday, is one Of the best efforts Of the
kind We have ever read.-The following
is the concluding paragraph;
You have spoken eloquently, sir, Of
railroads as bonds of union, and your
observations were as just as they were el-
oquent. No man oouyersaut wfSh faii-
roads can be a disunionist. The social
intercourse which they foster, the ties Of
business which they create, the mutual
dependence which they establish and ex-
hibit, make disunion impossible. There
must, of course, be difference of opinion
on some points. Real grievances may
from time to time demand redress. But
there is no evil of which disunion is the
proper cure. And the more we see of
each other, the less likely we shall be to
commit the error Of thinking otherwise.
The fact is, that we who live along the
line Of the American Central Railway don't
mean to let this Union break up Mary
land will not. trust Virginia will not.
Ohio, am sure, will not. Nor Indiana,
or Illinois, or Missouri Who, then,
will3 No, sir. We may differ hencefoth.
as we have done heretofore. We will
retain our respective opinions and posi-
tions with candor, courtesy, frmness and
resolution; and we will refer whatever
question may be between us to the great
American tribunal of popular discussion
and popular judgment. But in the time
TO come, as in the time past, we cleave TO
the Union as our ark of refuge, and, un-
der God our surest guarantee Of prosperi-
ty and power and abiding glory.

gem Of the Gulf" is about 70 be annexed

We are in favor Of the annexation Of Gu
