cation and both charging the whole theft upon
Bresn, who had been eighteen months out Of
office. We smelt mice" at the time, and had
we known that that old Fox, Chase, was about
the mystery would have been no mystery to u.s.
it appears that Governor Chase himself prepa-
red said statement and got it into the papers in
that shape on purpose to forestall public opin-
ion on the subject.
Mr. Prentiss, one of the persons appointed to
examine into Mr.. Gibson's accounts, publishes
letter in the Statesman, in which he says:
"From the day that the official announcement
of the defalcation was published in the papers Of
this city, in paragraph Pennet Jy GoU Chase,
himself the effect if not the intention, of which
was to shield Mr.. Gibson from deserved censure,
which paragraph distinctly charged that the de-
ticit occurred prior to Mr.. Gibson's term of Of
flee, and for which the author had no other evil
dence than the statement of self confessed tal-
sifier, down to the present moment there
has been a studied attempt to shield Gibson at
all hazards"
That was characteristic Of Chase we re-
fer the reader Of the scurvy trick he served
Senator Douglas, when the Nebraska bill was
introduced. On that occasion, when Mr.. Dou
glag as Chairman of the Committee on Terrific
ries was entitled to the floor to first explain the
provisions of said Bill, WHICH explanation would
have accompanied the publication ofSaid BID to
the country, Mr.. Chase went to Mr.. Douglas
and asked as q matter OF courtesy to himself as
brother Senator, that he would postpone his
remarks, until he, Chase, could examine the
Bill. with the understanding ofcourse that he
might want in the Senate, to reply to the
remarks of the Senator of Illinois when made.
The request was readily assented to, but what
did Mr.. Chase do? Instead Of examining the
Bill ard meeting its author face to face in an
open Senatorial debate, he stealthily went to
work and got up an electioneerng manifesto,
signed by himself, Seward, Giddings, Wade and
Others and had actually got it in print and
some fifty thousand copies sent oil in the coun-
try before Douglas knew anything about. He
had used the courtesy" of the Illinois Senator,
to lnisstate the tenor and effect Of his Bill, to
impugn his motives, and scatter a lying manfes-
to broadcast throughout the country to the
predjudice of the Senator personally and to his
party politically. Mr.. b. charged him with
his porlidy to his teeth in the Senate, and he
stands upon the records ofcountry, petty trick
ster and Il treacherous man.
So this card" which appeard as e1toy7a7 sim
ultaneou5ly in both the Columbus journals was
another ''maniiesto" of this same man, to pred
judice public opinion, and accomplish political
purpose, We shall lseo.--Plaindealer.
O11FWe thought at the time and so remark
ed, that the announcement smelt of trickcry;
but Judging that in such an hour of public ca
amity the zeal cf mere party would be fore
gone, and being requested to permit it to go
without comment as full statement would fol-
low as soon as it could be made out, we were
induced to give it a conspicuous place in the
Statesman. We had no suspicion that it was
to be the starting point of as unp3incped an
tage an act from which all honest men must re
coil, of whatever party.
But the columns of the lying Journal have
daily furnished evidence that The game was
chalked out by the master mind behind the
scenes which is using its ft;t0ccint to carry out
its own designs, and answer its own purpose.
If any one will so back and trace the moves,
it will be seen how cautiously and systematical-
ly the frauds and deIalcatons of the black re-
publican stumper, Gibson, have been concealed,
and the whole burthen attempted to be thrown,
not only upon the confederate of Gibson and
his scape goat but upon the whole Democratic
party. The Journal, with a reclressness and
audacity which frequently are the instruments of
presumptuous ignorance, busters and staggers
IN true swash-buckler style, charging upon the
Democrats every degree OF yenality and rascal
ity which weak invention can propagate,
The greatness and goodness and God-like
qualities of Chase are sounded, in unqualified
terms, and ascowl of Indignation threatens the
daring chroncler of events who may question
the great abolition Tetrarch's immaculate gran
deur, purity and patriotism. AS specimens of
abject toadyiSm, the exhibitions of the journal
are subllmely perfect. The cringing of the
spaniel is not more contemplate. That the
editor of the Journal should feel his own ine-
riority, in the presence of Chase, is no4 remar-
kable. Servility is the badge of some men, and
it should not be considered strange in a ngger
worshipper. There is q natural hauteur about
Chase, which such as the editor of the Journal
mistake for true dignity; and it is by no means
anomalous that they worship the embodiment
of their abolition sentiments, seeing they have
so little brains, and in striking contrast he has
so much. fl
Our friend of the Plaindealer will have per-
ceived that the Statesman has been unable to
gather any information, except such drblets as |
appeared officially in the Journal, and from ru-
mors. Not one word has been heard from Mr..
Breslin, nor is i believed that he has confided
to any one his own participation, if any, in the |
matter. AT least nothing has reached us, nor
have we had one word from him, one way or
another; nor from any one who has had eonyer- |
sation with him. a
But the Toledo Blade asserts that it has the
most reliable authority from Columbus, (poss-
bly, from the lying editor of the Journal) that
from Bresln had been made, that he
alone was answerable We call upon the Blade
to give its authority that is so reliable. We
want the name, that we may apply to one SO
well posted. Is it Chase? Is he preparing to
fool the people as he did two yeavs ago with
his especial fitness for the position, his greatness
ns Oenatoral dignity, his prospects Tor the Pre-
'idency, provided he could get up favorable
''sstige (the State Of Ohio for instance) I've say
4 it Chase? Does he know more than any BODY
also? Can he know? Will Mr.. Dennison tell
vi he knows? 1t will not take him long.
The people desire to know something. They
wish the fountain-head to speak--that individ-
lal whom they clothed with a certain degree Of
her own sovereigniy iy--icSigniuy it in his own
