A BIT OF ABoLTTroN History.

During the discussion of some politi-
eel resolutions in the Ohio Legislature, re-
Gently, Mr.. Converse, in allading 70 the
Oberlin rescue case said
"When an appeal was made 10 the Su-
preme Court Of this State, and in antici-.
patton Of the decision Of that Court be-
ing adverse to the national law, Gov.
Chase caused cartridge balls 10 be made !;
and it was ouly by the decision of wise
and upright judge. r. Swan--that it
happened that the rebellion did not com
mence in Ohio instead Of South Carroll
na.n
This is no new charge, but il now comes
subst&nsiated. Gov, Chase liz now See g.
rotary Of the Treasury, and engaged in
attempting to put down just snch q re-
hellion as he but short time before was
ready to inangnrate. How much less Of
an aboliEioniss is he and all the abolition
lists who ara ready to help him than are
those who iaaaguEated rebellion in the
South, might be nice point to dsser-
mine Chicago Times.

QUKES VICTORIA Va. Lord PALMxEsEog.
In the late speech Of Francis Train, an
American sojourning in London, England,
be said Of the English Queen
''The American people are rather PEI
euhar b their admiration for that ssti-
mable lady and now more than ever she
has gained our esteeus since it has be-
come known TO US that il was her benif-
cent hand that removed the pen and iak
Gtoagf from Lord Pa!msrston just as he
wds about TO indits hGtfdtal declaration
Of q par against proud people who
haye lived and will live in remembrance
of the hallowed associations Of their
naughty ancestors"
So it seems that Lord Palmersson, the
head Of the English Government, wished
in December last, to declare war against
the United States, an was restrained by
Queen Victoria.
