z Mr.. Chase is one of the ablsst men in this
country He has q mind of the 6rst order,
: and q political record of which any statesman
may be proud. 8ss
He was in the United States Senate when
the Kansas and Nebraska Bill was introduced.
and distinguished himself by the very power
faI manner IN which he opposed the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, and the aelasive
falIacy of Popular Sovereignty. His5sele
btased amendment to that bill, which, if adopt
ed, would have given to the people Of the
2 Territories in fact, what the Kansas n ebraska
Biil:pretended to give, but really withheld, to
vii, the right to1 sreIuds slavery, was one oi
the most mastery moves made against thai
bill exposing as it did, the hollow-heartedness
Of the professions of Douglas and his follew-
ers. s4ez s.Asts
x~ssAfter the passage Of the Kansas Nebrasks
Bill, the Legislature of Ohio, dazzled and
blinded for the moment by the ignus fatui o
popular sovereignty, elected Mr.. Pugh in tbs
stead Of Mr.. Ohase-but the people returning
to sense of the true merits Of the question
and recognizing the eminent worth aud abilit,
Of Mr. Chase, chose him as their Governor
and from the Gubernatorial chair he is nov
again sent to the Senate, thereto represent th,
free people of Ohio, and to battle. as befor
against the constantly Increasing aggression
and demand of the slave power.
It Is very probable that Ohhio will presen

vention. Regarding him as we do as one
the ablest men and truest Republicans in Il
Nation, we should regard his nomination as 9
excellent one, and would labor zealously an

nomination by the people.
The Republicans OF Illinois are under OBJ

Qualifications of q SchoOlmaster.

Long time ago. young collegian. isin-
Grating in the State of Maine, fell in com.
pany, and also in love, with very pref
ty girl, the daughter of an old curmud-
geon, whose brains were made of saw
dust, hogs lard and molasses. but who.
on account of the spaciousness Of his
farm, had been for years at the head OF
the school committee in the district The
collegian's attachment to Sally, { for that
was the name of the daughter, was 80
overpowering that all the logic and phi
losophy he had learned in the schools.
was, compared TO the force Of his pas
sion, as chaff in q hurricane.
But not having the wherswithal to
winter in Maine, without resort to en-
| ployment. he intimated to Sally that he
would like to keep the school in that dis
trict. The kind hearted girl informed
him that her father was committee man.
and she also informed him what ques-
tions he would put to him. and how be
must answer them, if he expected 70
gain the good graces Of her pareatal
lover. Accordingly, one Sunday evsn-
ing. the young man of classic lore in
formed the old ignoramus that he would
like to take charge Of their school for
the winter, and board in his family.
whereupon the old fellow assumed an cir
Of importance, and looking at the appli-
cant with his usual dignity while exam
ing candidates for keeping school, put
the same questions that Sally had inform
ed her admirer would be asked:
"Do you believe in the final salvation
of all the world 90
MOST certainly" answered the young
collegian. "It is the only belief that the
scriptures justify"
DO you believe that God ever made

Can you spell Massachusetts, 90

Well, spell it,"
The young man spelled the word very
distinctly when the father turned TO the
daughter, and said
did he spell it. Sally ."ae
"Yes SIR" answered the affsctionats
girl; when her father turned again to
the candidate, and triumphantly sxclaim-
ed:
You may begin school to morrow"

Governor Seward at his Home.-His
Enthusiastic Reception.
AUBURN, Dec. 80, 1859.

AUBURN, Dec. 80, 1853.
Gov. Seward arrived home in the 3 20
p. m. train of to-day, and was received
at the depot by an immense throng of
citizens, the military. the public schools,
the clergy, and civil officers. AS he
made his appearance. he was greeted by
the booming of cannon and the deafen-
ing cheers of his fellow citizens of all
parties. Michael S. Myers, an eminent
lawyer, an old citizen, and the hardest
kind of Hard Shell Democrat, welcom.
ed him home in an eloquent and appro-
pirate speech, to which the Governor re.
piled in his ever happy manner. He
was then escorted to his residence, and
greeted at every step with the salutations
and cheerings, and waving Of handker-
chiefs by the mass of the people who
blocked the streets, lined the house tops,
crowded the balconies, and occupied ev-
cry available space. Arches of ever
greens, with appropriate notices, span
ned the street; private and public build
ings were decorated with flags and in
scriptions and no means seemed left un.
employed to demonstrate the satisfaction
felt at his safe arrival home. Among the
thousands of notices, we noticed the fol-
lowing:
Welcome to the defender of the rights of
man."
"God bless you, Gov. Seward"
Welcome to the defender of the liberty OF
the press
" And the Lord was with him. and did let
none of his words fall to the ground"
The last motto was from The Northern
Independent { Methodist), one Of the bold
est and most fiat footed Anti Slavery pa
pers in the North, edited by Rev. VIM.
Hosmer, whose denunciations Of slavery,
when editor of The Northern Christian
Aduocate, brought down upon him the
hate of the Pro-Slavery portion OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and result
ed in his ejectme Mt from the editorial
management of that paper.
The following was signed The Cler-
gy," and spanned the gateway Of Gov.
Seward's ground
thee in all places whittier thou goest, and will
bring thee again into this land"
The following extract from a speech OF
Gov. Seward was inscribed upon an arch
of evergreen, which spanned one OF the
public streets
See to il that freedom and equal rights are
inculeated at your fresides, in your ools, and
in the churches
Everything considered, this was one
of the most enthusiastic and hearty vel
comes ever extended by people. tcah.
out distinction Of party. to public man.
1t shows that however much they may
differ politically, the people Of Cayuga
County hold in highest esteem the vir.
tues and services Of Gov. Seward.

The N. Y. Herald says that the origin
of the present political difficulties may
be traced back 10 the Buffalo Convention
of ls4s. 1t might be traced back still
farther--to the Declaration of American
Independence or farther yet, to the pc
riod when Jehovah determined to place
in the human breast an ineradicable love
of liberty. We trust it will not be seri-
ously argued that man was imprudently
and unwsely made.

The Home Of the Biest.

We're going home, we've had visions bright
OF that holy land, that world Of light.
Where the long, dark night Of time is past.
And the morn of eternity's come at last
Where the weary saint no more shall roam,
But dwell in a sunny, peaceful home, Et
Where the brow with celestial gems is crown'd,
And waves Of bliss are dashing around,
o, that beautiful world, o, that beautiful, DC.
We're going home, We soon shall be
Where the sky is clear, and the soil is free;
Where the victor's song floats Ger the plain,
And the senph's anthem blends with its strain;
Where the sun rolls down its brilliant flood,
And beams on a world that's fair and good,
And stars that dimmed at natures doom,
Will sparkle and dance DER the new earth g
bloom.
O, that beautiful home, DC.
Where the tears and sighs which here were Civ n
Are exchanged for the gladstone songs Of heaven;
Where the beauteous forms which sing and shine
Are guarded well by Hand divine;
Pure loves banner and friendships wand
Are waving above that princely band;
And the glory of God, like molten sea,
Will bathe the immortal company.
o, that beautiful home, dc.
Mid the rnnsomed throng, mid the sen Of bliss
Mid the holy city's gorgeousness
Mid the verdant plains, mid angels cheer,
Mid the flowers that never Of winter wear,
Is waited on the ambrosial air;
Through endless years we then shall prove
The depths Of a Saviour's matchless love.

He is, we are informed, member of the
Congregational church in West Spring
field, and thus has blackened his crimes
by pretensions to holiness that were
worse than hollow. Police officers were
in pursuit of him on Monday with awar-
rant for his arrest for adultery, and if he
has not been warned of the exposure Of
his conduct and fed, is probably already
in custody. He left home, we under
stand, on Monday morning for Hinsdale,
where he has singing school in pro-
