RESPONSE OF MR.. CHASE.
FEtLow -CITIzESs-It will be with diff
Guilty that can make myself heard even
bv a small portion Of this vast assembly.
When i look upon this. sea of faces, when
have seen my fellow citizens all through
the State eager to meet me, | ask myself,
what have I done to merit all this kind
ness? Aad when L look back -upon my
career, find Nothing in it except the very
simple performances OF a very plain duty.
And. during aliimy past years, may say.
| have onlydwantei to know what my du-
ty ITO the people was. and then to ask God
for the courage to DO it. Applause
have come among you, fellow citizens,
on a visit to my old home. / remember
the time well. when where we now stand
was simplyagreat square, entirely unoc-
cupied, save by.a man who has now gone
to- his last Icst-:Judge Burnet. / used to
come here asa little boy to play; and to
see the Judge, for he was my great man in
those days. And now what do see?--
This proud city with its splendid arehitec-
ture, with its beautiful churches, with its
crowded workshops, with its schools, with
all its means, OF culture and development,
and with all its means of difTesiug pros
perity AMI hap ppiness. And when see all
this prosperity, all this coltentment, in
the past, and whenI sec all that is hoped
for in the brilliant future. / ask. what pro-
duced it? And the answer comes at once
to- the lips: Intelligent, free labor, the
hands of the masses of the people. And
out of the same masses have come those
who have governed the country in time
past, aad who are to govern it in time to
come. IeS ..;.fgoasff
Now, fellow citizens, what has caused
this great trouble in the country? This
simple thing. and nothing else; the refusal
of the aristocracy of the country to recog
nize the right Of the masses to govern them
Great applause. But. fellow citizens,
tell you the people will govern in spite oI
all the aristocrats that can be crowded be-
tween the Ohio and the Gulf. Renewed
applause. Theptime was, and not very
long ago, when we were a united people
The time never has been when we, here in
Ohio. were notwilling to do justice to the
last extent to the South. Why when
first left You here, went to the Peace Con
ference at Washington, and what did we
do, rvlicals as they said we were? Why
we asked those gentlemen of the Soutl
just to join usin saying to their people and
to ours. that there is nobody who want:
to trench on the constitutional, rights of 6
single State or single citizen. And W:
besought them to join US in doing wha
Kentucky and Illinois had recommends
call National Convention, and settle
all the points between us. They refused
to do it.. Why? Simply because they
had determined that the masses should no
govern in this country; because they hat
determined the slavery interest should gov
ern. and if they could not get that thcy
wonld break up the republic. After thi
refusal of theirs, Mr.. Lincoln was inaugu
rated, and you all know how lenieht h
was with them. that the greatest complain
was, that he was too gentle with them.
