STATE RIGHTS.
Gov. Chase now recited the facts of
the late Rescue Case; and made some
strong points, but the late hour of the
night precludes us from writing cut his
remarks. In conclusion Of the subject,
however, he said):
We have a tight TO have our State
laws obeyed. We don't mean 10 resist
federal authority Just or unjust laws,
properly administered, viii be respected.
If dissatisfied we will go TO the ballet
box and redress our wrongs But we
have rights which the federal govern
ment must not inysde-rights superior
to its power, on which our sovereignty
depends, ard we DO mean TO assert these
rights against all assumptions of au-
thority.
WHAT WE WILL DO.
know not what will be done in Cham
paign county The Courts will deter
mine that. But l do know that il the
MarshalS who violated our laws are in
dicted, and the writs for their arrest are
placed in the hands of our State officers,
THEY SHALL BE EXECUTED
(Shouts and great applause. And we
expect the Federal Government to submit.
L believe with Jefferson that the car
dinal principle Of our Union is the pres
ervation of the reserved rights of the
States; and if we have certain organic
laws, if we wish to maintain our liberties,
we must have our laws, obeyed. Tn
less we sustain our off ceis we forfeit our
freedom, and are worse than the veriest
slaves of European despotIsms. But
have extended my remarks further than
intended, and must draw it to close.
l wish TO say, however, that 1 want
an economical government; 1 want per
feet security from despolism of the State;
and from officers, with undoub'ed integ.
rity 10 recommend them; L want to see
Slavery overthrow, and intend to help
overtuln its power; want to see the
power of 250,000 slave holders over
80, 600, coo OF people cease; L want it
acknowledged that colOred people have
rights and privileges which they have
not now; want to see territories become
the free soil home of free labor. These
are some of the articles of my political
faith, aud L call upon you TO vlndicate
those principles at the ballot box
