heads 40 much eulogy as Mr. Blow
has been able to scrape together. :
Mr.. Chase has purchased a printing
press and made as many greenbacks
as was authorised by Congress, and
the soldiers and the people have re.
ceived them because they have faith

With very great ability and all the
good looks, polished manners and
gentlemanly bearing that Mr.. Blow
claims for him, he is as thoroughly
selfish and marrow as any public man
in the country. He was a candidate
for the Presidency before the last
Chicago Convention. The Ohio del.

and as Mr.. Chase was from Ohio,
this wouldabe an obstacle in his way.
This one act illustrates the charac.

Wben+he iebellion broke out, Mr..
Chase held this language "fhe

Several gentlemen OF high position
in this country heard MIN utter this
sentiment, substantially. He waA at
that time Secretary Of the Treasury.
JEFF. Davis exclaimed, as he left the
Senate, "All the South wants is TO
be let afone;" and Mr.. Secretary
Chase was, in effect, declaring,"T The
South is not worth fighting Tor. p
