GOV. CHASE AND GOV. C0RwIN FUNNILY
FRATERNIZING

AT the recent Republican meeting in Colum.
bus, Ohio, at which Gov. Tom Corwin spoke,
and gave in his adhesion and sympathy to the
Republican organization, Gov. Chase (who is
an old Democrat, as will be remembered, as
Gov. Corwin is an old Whig,) was called for
and made some pleasant and exhilarating talk
We quote portion:
:" Gov. Chase-A good many years ago-I will
not, for bis sake, say how many--I voted for
him for Governor, Gov. Corwin-' GU begun
life we'll and it is said that be had the indiscre
ton to vote for me for the same office, turning
round to Gov. G who said, Y es did, There's
no need TO deny it. 1t amt worth lying about
He says il amt worth while to lie about it ana
if 1t was, we wouldn't do it. l. augbter He
says begun life well in voting for him. He
did well in voting for me, though be isn't at
the end of his life yet, hope. Gov. Corwin-
thought was last night May that be
long distant, may he live long to defend the
cause of human liberty and equal Justice
Applause. l have usually no great fondness
tor COMPROMISES, laughter, but in the spirit Of
his day an willing to make concessions, and
l propose to the Governor this compromise
since he ia willing to endorse my principles,
will agree to-fnd no fault with his color. Gov
Corwin is very dark complexioned man
Excessive merriment. / am willing to stand
ty, and have small care for the little subordi
nate questions on which others and myself are
divided, if We are united Oh this grand issue
Ii we stand shoulder to shoulder, side by side
heart beating against heart, on the great ques.
ton, am willing to allow differences in other
matters. Applause. If we are united in
opposition to the doctrine of. the Supreme
Court, organized for that very purpose by the
slave power, that Slavery shall prevail every
where in our free Territories, unless interdicted
by express law; if we hold the converse of this
doctrine, that it can exist nowhere unless by
positive Law of State, and understand this
to be the position of Gov. Corwin-
Gov. Corwin-Amen, amen to that. 1t
was always my doctrine, since forty years ago.
Applause.
p" Gov. Chase, resuming. He SAYS It was his
| doctrine years ago. 1t was mine years since /;
it is mine to-day. By it / will stand and by i.
| will die Cheers. Uniting on this prin.
ciple, let rs see 10 it mat we put into power an
honest and economical Administration. Let
MS unite to do this, and to protect the interests
of our own labor against all assaults, wher.

been almost betrayed into making an address.

you to foll,w the excellent advice which was
given you ky my friend, Gov. Corwin, aud put
your creed into your deed. Let every man
work as if he believed that the issue depended
on his own single thought and deed.
