Governor Chase's Message in New
Orleans.

The New Orleans correspondent of the
Ohio STATE Journalgives the following de-
scription of the reception OF Governor
Chase's message in the South:
| am just from the reading room of the
St. Charles where had the pleasure Of see
ing the message of Gov. Chase, in Cinc in
matt paper. II was curious to see how
eagerly it was scanned over, and its contents
inquired after, by the various gentlemen
who happened to be present from different
parts OF the South The position of Ohio,
as leading Republican State, and particu-
larly Gov. Chase, who has long been known
as one of the ablest anti-siaveIy men of the
country, very naturally attracts the atten-
tion oil Southern politicians and readers.-
Few men have been more bitterly ass led
than Mr.. Chase, in Consequence of his manly
oppos ition of slavery. And yet he is not
without his admirers here, as freque at little
discussions show. And the present was

column after column, very laboriou-l ly o. the
Governors statement OF the financial atfa rs
OF the State, in search of "treason,'' very
safely remarked as he pushed aside the
paper, al see nothing in that message"
Here an exciteable little man started up
alarmed at The cool remark OF his friend.
He thought he chold "see abolitionism in
every line" After searching some little
time, without making the important dis
coyery. ''Weli. il as there" said he, ''for

Enquirer" AT length, however, the objec-
tionatle part was found in the Governor 5
allusion TO Kansas affairs" Hoh!" said the
first7speaker, "that is nothing more than any
candid man would say, who was consienti-
ousiy opposed to the institution oil slavery"
A sharp-nosed politician expressed his sur
prise that the Governor should have SO
much TO say about railroads and canals ard
such things and SO little about politics. A
shrewed business man who was present, re-
marked, ,lif southern Governors would pattern.
it would be more credit to themselves, as
well add vastly 10 the interests OF the south
ern people of Ohio had showed their good
sense in selecting a man competent to look
after the interests OF the State. On the
wht lie it wac agreed, that whatever might
be said of the Governor politics, OhiO had
the abiest Chief Magistrate OF any State n

mark made to me some time since, by Judge
