GOV. CHASE on THE SLAVERY CUES
TON.

Gov. Chase addressed meeting Of the citizens Of
Union County, Ohio, Oh the 10th inst. We fnd the
following account Of his speech in TIE OHIO Statc
Journal:
He began by reviewipgthe Bresin defacston, deny.
ing the constantlyreiterated fisehood that ne bad
attempted 20 screen Gibson, and defending Mr..
Sparrow from the foul aspersions which HE party
organs continually casting upon him for having
told the truth in his report Mr. Pngh's recent speech
devoted entirely 70 the question Of Slavery but
Gov. c. thought there were important state questions
before unerests entirely uncoInected with Slavery.
These important interests he had great satisfaction In
saying, had been, by the Republican administration,
watched and cared for They were not DOW cahdl1aes'
and they went ont of Office feeling that there was moth
ing there which they feared to have investigated.
They did think there was something there, which the
more it understood by the people, the more 1t
would be commended by them.
Gov. {. then turred TO the Slavery question. lie
did not believe in the theory tbas majority had the
right to make OF any man or woman slave forever.
States had the night to iegsate on their own affairs,
and this the sovereignty which our fathers dying,
bequeathed to u.s. The people also had the right to
elect their officers but, to show the insincety OF
the professions of the socalled Democratic Legsla-
ure of last Winter. that body appointed Board with
power to sppoiIt Police Commissioners for the City of
CinciI natl That was Popular Sovereignty
Forcible sllusion made to the canal legislation
Of last Winter and that precious body placed before
the people in To envable light. No honest Democrat
could look into these various Transactions and defend
| them. The peoples money should be protected, bu,
the present sub-treasury fraud and failure. Ii
the Republican legislation upon this subject had been
| adopted by the Democrats when they came into
| power every single dollar of the defalcaton would
have been safe. This sub-treasury required
curity for money deposited with county treasurers-
not sir gle bond for security. The law taxed people
to pay pIeni1ms on bank notes. They had In the
vaults Of the treasuybaEk notes; for their taxes the
/ lsw required them to pay specie. They had pro
nses 10 pay and the bankers were the subtreasury.
The Democrats had searched the Republican record
| Int 4 md evidence reck lassnesa what did
they find Why, that the Republican Legislature had
passed laws TO protect the liberties of the people OF
Ohio " you want negroes caught you must catch
them yourself" said the Republican enactment. 1--WE
did not build as and keep them open Tor you to put
| your slaves in. with criminals" And what did
the Democratic Legislature do They msde haste to
repeal these laws which exempted people from the
| miserable business OF negro catching.
The Governor would not have the Slavery question
shut out every ether interest Of the country yet he
knew perfectly Well that il had assumed great and m-
portaIt proportions lie would say here, today that
nothing would satisfy the Slave Power short Of the
spread of Slavery throughout all free States. The
right of transit was claimed by ssve owners with per
feet coutiderce, though there reason why they
might lot prooDg their stay indefinitely within the
borders of the State.
The Supreme Court has already decided that in all
our broad domain there not outside of the Free
States single foot OF free SOIL what might We not
look for next During the last Presidential campaign
no single Democrat was found IL Ohio who believed
that Slavery existed il any Of the Territores-now
how was ii Judge Ranney's letter of Is received
conf lmentary airing as being very excellent Repub
hcan document, though long since repudis;ed by its
author. The unsettled Lemon referred TO- a.
being certain 70 result 10 a decision establishing
Slavery inevery Free State. IL was for the men Of
Ohio TO say whether they wanted cofed slaves to be
driven through their State insulting their free labor
little, said the Legislature OF last Winter. They
said as much as they could say by repeating the
law. lThere were many noble Southerners VINO
looked with lOathing and scorn upon this miser-
able, criDgipg set. The question has always been
forced upon Us by the slave oligsrchy and they had
dug the political graves of some OF the first men OF the
country. Mr.. Pugh had said that al they wanted
was confederation, subject 10 the Constitution"
Mr.. Douglas said he going TO insist that there
should be 10 more protection for slaves in the Terrific
ries than for other property The slave was there
but it was by non-ntetyention." The man who fell
among thieves was left TO perish by those who passed
by on the other side on this principle of nom
Intervention. The priest and the Levi.e were Demo.
cratic observation-disclosures, according to the Cincinnati
Platform Nor. interyenou-it was sham. 81
am, said the Governor for Intervention with wrong
wherever the Constitution Of my country permits t.
viii maintain free labor, and / will never never seek
10 SHIELD myself by any party dodge. We lesvs the
Southern States to DO what they will with their institu
lions at home, and we propose to do the same. We
dislke their Slavery, though do not propose 10 in
ter.ere with them; but in all our broad Territories
over which the Western Sun is shining 30 being
nsntly, in M name of our country snd God let Us
ee To j; that there liberty be maintained.
