Salmon P. Chase.

Gov. Chase is certainly very popular in
Ohio. This was strikingly shown. two years
ugO, when he was reelected Governor
although tho Democrats carried tho Lcgis.
lature 1t was observed then, that no was
made stronger than any other candidate OF
his party, by the general admiration for hi.
personal character, and confidence in his
integrity and wisdom. At tho prcsont time
he is canvassing for the election of Mr. Den
nisOn, who has been nominated to succeed
him; and, wherever ho goes, ho is met by
enthusiastic crowds Of people and by til,
warmcst and most enthusiastic dcnonstra
tons Of popular Observation-Disclosures
which arc SO evidently unstudcd, sincere
and earnest, that il stirs orc away hcro il
Massachusetts to read tho accounts of then
that como to us in Ohio papers
Those who know Gov. Chase best. know
how worthy Ee is Of such testimonials o
popular regard. Tho man docs not live, anC
mover did live, who could seriously accuse
him of dishonesty or dishonor. In char
acter, he stands so high above all that, ST
far up in tho bright region of lofty aud in
COrruptible manhood, that no such ac
CusatiOn can reach him, and as Governor o
Ohio, ho has proved to DO ono of tho mos
efficient and admirable executive officers tn
country has ever seen. There is no man il
the country superior to him in capacity fo
any executive office, and but few, very few
who can justly be regarded ms his equals i
this respect. Everywhere in Ohio tho wis
is expressed that ho may be nominated fu
tho Presidency, not only by those who hav
been Republicans from tho beginning br
by those who havo united with tho part
since 1886. Tho conservative Wings lik

Horace Greeley and Socialism.

A vory peculiar man is Horace Gieoley.-I
Many arc tho ludicrous stories illustrative of
his ccccntricitics, both in youth and man
hood No one doubts that he is deeply in
tcIos,od in oycry movement, however I'M
that pro!ossos to have the
welfare Of mankind in Wow. What onthu-
siastic Gontilo but Horace Greeley, would
ever have thought of getting up Mormon
catcchism But he wanted to know with
certainty what Mormonism roally was, and
so he questioned Brigham Young. and very
likely was struck with tho unexpected
urbanty aud candor of that distinguished
Saint.
Tho San Francisco Bulletin contains
report of recent lecture of Horace Greeley,
in that city, on Industry and tho Mechanic
Arts" in which ho thus expressed the belief
that the world would yot adopt his socalistic
theory:
"Mr. Greeley dwolt short timo upon
the relation of capital to labor. He ox-
plainCd his position upon the subject oil
= socialism" or " communism" aud cX-
:
sufficiently ripo for tho realization of this
dream. for which he had aborod much, and
sacrificed much The time would come
however, when it would be put into practice
1t might be in fifty, II hundred, or thou
sand years-but the period would arrive.
! ron this point tho audience unmstakablS
differed with the speaker. A few ap
plaudod his conclusion; but tho mass OF biz
/ in, rnrs wpro cold and mute.
Truo enough, the time may como (for NJ
ono can foretcll what is to boz when sociot,
will be re- organized on this plausible plan
yet We hope not in our day. We desir,
never to 500 the time when all things will b
in common, aud all men-tho high and th
low, the educated and the ignorant, the re
fined and tho vulgar, the moral aud tn
vicious-bo held together by the commo
is neither pra cticabo nor desirable. 1t
solo effect would bo, not to elevate tn
masses to tho high plane of material, inte
Ice lual and moral development so long an
diligently sought by Horace Greeley, but t
bring all to ono common level of igEoranct
poverty and vice. If all men were cxactl
as thcy should be, (Which tho socialist
theory seems to imply,) it might be endured
) but then it would DO entirely unnecossar,
We havo no faith in any particular move
mont, organization, creed or party, howevr
good in itself, to raise all mankind to III
high plano which must be attained bofol
such state of society can be made oyc
. tolorablo. Thoreis already too great tel
S doncy to lose sight of tho individual in Il
community. The clanni5h spirit Of associ
:. ton is becoming an intoicrable social ev
= and should bo discouraged rather than c
i courugod. Society, which is nothing mo
nor less than what tEo individual membo
. make it, is blamed tor everything wrong
tho world We ask too much of that il
% tangible creature called society, and III
If enou Oh of ourselves. There arc. OF cOur:
faults in tho social fabric; yet it is not
these that we owe all, or Il major part,
tho ills we bear. When men begin to re
more upon themselves, and less upon socie
to work out tho elevation of the race, the
~ and not till then, will Horace Greelo
d dreams begin to be realized.

ANECDorE OF FoorE AND BENroN.-
The animosity between Foote, of Mis-
sissippi, and Benton, Of Missouri, was well
known. 1t is a matter Of record, and there
can be no want Of delicacy in alluding to
a historical fact.
On the last night Of that session which
closed the senatorial career of those gen.
teman respectively. Mr.. Foote obtained
the floor, and occupied the final hour with
a bitter and eloquent review Of the life and
acts Of his old enemy. MIR. Benton sat
unmooved; his massive features betrayed
no sign of anger or anxiety; you would
have thought him asleep, but for the reg
ular motion of his cyelids. AS the hands
on the clock pointed to midnight, he quiz
etly remarked to bystander:
| leave the Senate of the United States
footed out Of it; footed out of it, sir; but
not kicked out!
Mr.. Foote said he would write little
book in which Mr.. Benton should figure
very largely. Mr.. Benton heard OF this,
and replied, in his characteristic way, TO
the informant:
Tell Foote that will write a very large
book in whic n be shall not CURE at ALL
The Thirty Years will show how
faithfully this promise was kept.-Hor-
per'S Monthly.

Noble Sentiments of Horny Clay.

1t is well known that Henry Clay,
though himself a STAKEHOLDER, regarded
the institution Of Slavery as great evil,
was opposed to its extension, and desired
its extinction from the land. He had great
faith that the Colonization Scheme would
ultimately work out the freedom OF the
slaves Of the South, without endangering
the peace or perpetuty of the Union
In speech before the Colonization Society
in 1927, he answered the plea that the cf-
forts of that Society were calculated TO fa-
vor abolilionism and endanger slave prop
erty. How do the eloquent words of the
Great Kentuckian, upon that occasion,
compare with the low defamation Of our
Northern demagogues, who are now en-
deavoring to repress the free sentiment
of the country, and extend and perpctuate
the curse of human bondage
Wha! would they, who thus reproach
US, have done? If they would reprcss
all tendencies toward Liberty and ultimate
emancipation, they must do more than put
:, down the benevolent efforts Of this society
They must go back to the era of our Lib
erty and Independence, and muzzc the
cannon which thunders lis annual o"ous
return. They must revive the slave trade,
with all its train of atrocities. They must
