Gov Chase on the Tariff.

Gov. Chase, of Ohio, has recently written q
letter in which he expresses the following SEN
sible and statesmanlike views on a subject
which affects to a greater or less extent the en-
tire industrial interests of the country. We be-
lieve the views of Gov. Chase are the views OF
nine tenth OF tho Republican party in every sec
ton of the country. Here is what the distin-
guished statesman Of the West says
"Surely there should be no disagreement be-
tween Republicans as to the Tariff. Whatever
may be any mans theoretical views of Free
Trade, we are all agreed that there is no pros
pect of the adoption Of the policy Of unrestrict-
ed commercial intercourse by civilized nations
during the lifetime Of any of US and no on,
l believe, proposes the adoption of that policy
by the United States without the concurrence Of
other nations. . Certainly l do not. / am a
practical man, and wish to take practical views
of this Tariff question as Of every other, avoid
ing ultraism in every direction. | know that
we have always had a tariff. | know that we
never had IA horizontal tariff, unless the Com
promise act of 1888 may be called such. |
know that for a long time to come, and per.
haps as long as the Union shall endure we shall
have a tariff. Now these things being 50, am
clearly of opinion that tariff laws, like all 9th
er laws, should he so framed as to do as much
good, and as little harm as possible and | am
therefore, in favor of such determinations as
will best secure and promote the interests of la
bor-of our own labor-and the general well
being of our W people. No man. in my
judgment, deserves the name of an American
Statesman who would not so shape American
legislation and administration as to protect
American industry, and guard imparlially all
American rights and interests"

KANSAS FREE.-ReGerring to the struggle

Republicans preferred to keep her out Of The

remain for the present"
So the Democrats don't mean to let her come
in this session, ay2 And your friend Douglas,

State" preferred to keep her out, too! Really,

doomed her to Slavery forever. Where is the

New Hampshile Election.

A Republican House, Republican Council, a
Republican Senate, and a Republican Governor
by 5000 majority Hurrah for New Hamp-
shire The Independent Democrat sums up as
follows
below we give returns from 2l7 towns and
cities comprising almost the complete vote OF
the State. These indicate a net Republican
gain Of rising HOO and a Republican majority
Of rising 1900 in the whole State.
The Republicans have carried all the FIVE
Councillor districts nine, if not ten, of the
Senatorial district, and elected about two-thirds
of the House In a word, the friends of free
dom in New Hampshire have won a triumph
which lacks no elements of completeness. They
have gloriously set in motion The great ball Of
1860, which shall not cease to roll. and gather
strength and velocity as it rolls, until the party
and leaders Of slave Democracy shall be driven
from the places they now occupy in the Federal
Government, to give place to men who will res
tore the government to the policy of its liberty
loving founders. They have set an example
which they can proudly invite their brethren
in all the free States to emulate"

Democratic Progress.

Twelve years ago, the Democratic party of
every Free State were " unalterably opposed to
the extension of Slavery into free Territory"
and in favor of the Wllmot Proviso prohibiting
slavery and involuntary servitude forever from
all such Territories by act of Congress. Six
years ago, the same party repeated the Missou-
ri Compromise, which was nothing more or less
than the Wilmot Proviso. They were then not
" unalterably opposed to the extension Of slave
ry,'' but willing the people of the Territories
should adopt or prohibit it, just as they should
see fit. Six years later still, the same party de-
clare in solemn convention the legal existence
of slavery in all the Territories under the Con-
s~titution and the right of the shareholders to
carry their slaves into the Territories and hold
them in defiance of Congress and the TerritOri-
al Legislature and asserting the duty of Con-
grcss 10 enact a SLAVE code for the security and
protection of SlaUeS against "unfriendly legislG-
tiOn " at the hands Of the people!

A Southern View of Salmon P. Chase.

The Neto Orleans Della accompanies the an
nouncement of Gov. CHAsE's re election to the
U. S. Senate, with the following estimate Of his
character and talents. The article is attribut-
ed to Mr.. SoULE, who served with Mr.. Chase in
the Senate a few years since, and had frequent
occasion to know the temper of the Ohio Sena-
tors blade -
Profound and able in talent, skilful and
artful in strategy, Of good address, impressive
elocution, indomitable industry and energy, i'm
movable equanimity. far-seeing in Judgment
Salmon P. Chase fills "a place in the Black Re-
publican programme which Seward never can
fill. lie has the qualities of a chief and leader
which Seward never can have. His Western
life and intercourse have expanded his ideas on
certain subjects upon which Seward is cramped,
narrow and behind the age. There is a dash of
demagoguism in Chase's character, which il
quite essential in the leader of any party, es-
pecially one Of the passions and purposes OF
Black Republicanism.
His aspect and bearing are those, too, of a
leader. He stands erect-presents a bold and
genial appearance, and shows Enthusiastically a
large development of the appetltes and propen-
stiles which the mass recognize as bonds of SYM
pathy and fellowship. Seward, on the other
hand. is stoop shouldered, narrow-breasted,
sharp featured, sallow hued, and unwholesome
in his physical characteristics Besides, he
takes snuff, which men of good physical organ
%ization and healthy organized nerves rarely do.
For these and other reasons, we regard Chase
az the most dangerous chief--and his accession
to the Senate az a notable event In the history
of Black Republicanism."

Theirs went under the ground"

The INDEPENDENT ON PRESIDENTIAL CANDr-
DATES.-The Independent recently closed an ar
ticle entitled " Parties and Candidates" with
the following remarks:
I'VE have already intimated our belief that
Judge Bates will not be nominated by the Chr
cage Convention. AS we read the signs of the
tames, the choice of that Convention will fall
inevitably, and at last unanimously, upon an
other man. Weneed not name the man who is
at this moment more conspicuous than any
other citizen of the United States the man
whose name is more feared and e~xecrated than
any other by the upholderS of the existing mis-
government and the p~lotters for disunion the
man whose speeches in the Senate are historical
events, waited for as men wait for the news of
an expected battle, and read with the eagerness
with which men read the telegram of Il victory;
the man whose nomination, above that of any
other man, would ~squarely meet the issue Of
the day, and bring it to a trial on it's merits
distinct from all side issues. The gift of proph-
ecy is not ours We can only, like other Yam
KEGS, guess what will be but our belief is that
the Chicago Observation-Disclosures may be
: the first choice of the delegates from one
State or another-will find itself compelled to
nominate the foremost of living Americans, the
wisest and most national Of our statesmen, the
most sagacious and yet most dignifed of pOliti-
clans, and the calmest and steadiest Of them in
the long battle against the encroachments of
Slavery. We do not pledge ourselves before
hand to every measure of his Administration
but we shall not refuse to vote for him."

suggestions for the benefit of the Republican

is manifested in the candidates for State officers.
y Allow me to suggest that with the
known views of Mr.. Holhrook, who never was
a Maine Law man, and whose political notions
are abeuton a par with Chief Justice Redfeld's,
and the bitter pill Of being obliged to take up
Mr.. Kitteridge with Mr.. Fairbanks, that ONE
compromise man may be found who will unite,
or prevent the bitterness now manifested.

In this County the e%xertions for Mr.. Hol-
brook are more active and determined, perhaps,
than you have any notion Of.
y n
/ would suggest as worthy candidates, the
names of Hon. Abishai Stoddard of Townsend,
Hon. Portus Baxter OF Derby, lion. Roderick
Richardson of Montpelier, Hon. A. P. Hunton
of Bethel, Hon. John Porter of Hartford, and
you have already named Mr.. Brainerd. Is tia
general conclusion that he cannot be nominated?
= In my,opinion, if a good representa-
tive Republican, identified with the present live
issues of the day, cannot be nominated. the
American Republicans should hoist the name
Of some reliable young man, and cast off the
dead weight Of old fogyism now weighing down
the party. P"
We have no objection to publishing candid
sentiments like those contained in the above, nor
have we the least objection to a good-natured
discussion Of the merits of candidates and of
principles. We do object to the one idea that
the party is to be ruined unless one particular
man is nominated. Our correspondent above sugs
gests the names of several gentlemen, all of
whom we know to be worthy. reliable Republic
cans, and either of which will bring honor and
dignity to the Gubanatorial Chair. Certainly,
if it will aid in the choice of a Governor, which
shall be satisfactory to all parts of the State,
and the good interests Of the party, we shall be
glad to have a score more names presented and
discussed.
