Gov. Chase I'm Kentucky.
Gov. Chase made Rspublicsn speech.
in CoviDgton. Kentucky, a few days sgo.
Twas a bold and thorough Republican
speech, in which the great doctrines OF
the party were clearly set forth. 1t is said
the speech was listened to by large aud
ience-there was no disturbance and they
did not mob the speaker. For this, all
thanks.
Mr.. Chase is Representative man-one
who persouifies fully the great doctrinss
of the Republican party. Upon some ques-
tiors he may be rather ultra, but on the |
whole he is truly Republican.
1t 10 refreshing to see Republication go |
ing into the Slave States. No people up-
der the bright sunlight. need information
upon the great issues advocated by the
Republican party, more than do the slave
holders themselves. They are profoundly
ignorant as to what is Republication, and
they seem DESTROYS to remain in this bliss
full state Of Misunderstanding. II they
would invite our able speakers to visit
them and expound to them the doctrines
of our party, their prejudices would at
snce be removed. When they would learn
that no Republican north OF Mason and
Dixon's line. had the least desire to inter

publican desired to abolish slavery in the
slave Ststes--that 10 Republican wished

Had the South. months ago. followed the

cities to speak-snd they have spoken to
large audiences. The South instead Of in

When Abraham Lincoln is elected -
and when he is inaugurated President OF
these United States. aud his inaugural
address is issued to the American people.
then the slaveholding States will learn.
that neither Mr.. Lincoln, nor the RepublI-

But we are glad that Gov. Chase, of
Ohio. made Republican speech in Ken

wedge that sill relieve the Southern mind
of the many gross errors that have found
their way into il. We are looking, almost
with a positive certainty. that the most am
icable relations will exist between the
North and the South, as soon as the cleo |
ton is over. The South can do nothing

After the election of Mr. Lincoln a calm /
will pervade the public mind. The storm
will have lulled aud quiet will reign every
where. There will not be found one man
bold enough to attempt to resist the wish
of the majority. There will be no State
that will withdraw from the sisterhood. -
Traitors to The Constitution will grow
amazingly scarce. Treason will fad but
few advocates, and no supporters. The
commercial relations between the North
and the South will be continued ss hereto
fore. We will purchase their cotton and
their sugar at d they will buy the products
Of our manufacturers. The government
will conlinue as it has progressed, and the
American people, from the Gulf to the
Lakes, will learn that the great doctrines
of the Republican party. are the best cal
euiated to promote the peace, happiness
and prospvr'y OF ihis entire people.
