SPEECH or MP. CHASE AT CINCINNATI,
On The Epening efths 12th October, 1868
Ny l,llow-ctzens: We engaged in great struggle
1t struggle brought upon Us by fault Of the people
OF The United States and when say by fault of the
people OF the United States mean precisely what say
The sborng Masses the merchants the manufacturers,
ths chacs of the North have had part in bringing
this strife The ron-slavehoders of the South have
had part in bringing this strife tits strife brought
about by conspiracy of the few to rule The many and 1t
is simply because they not willing to trust the pee
PIE with their that they to for the pur-
pose of abshng dominou where they could rule the
blacks and whites separaely from the Federal Govern
ment That is all there is OF the rebellion
Now, this conspiracy is not recent AFFAIR. Whenever
you 6ud arsocacy u the country and that arstocra
cy finds itself opposed by the people, il goes to with
the people The difer between arist0cracy aud
the arisocraces that have warred upon the people in
other couutr that arstcracy happened 10 be es-
tabshed in certain portions of the county, they occu
p,d States; they controlled the political social
and moral action Of those States and therefore it was that
when the time for the arisOcracy to rebel against
the democracy that they succeeded rt carrying out
OF the lniOn--to their own e1presson-the most
hris' ocratic" of all the states namely, Sou Carolina
ard then South Caroia followed by the other hristO
cratic Stiles in succession, until we became involved in
this terrible war.
Now, when an sristocracy thus wars upon the moe
racy especially il that arstcracy be local arstcracy
like care iht re nothing to do but to meet the
challenge which they threw down. or to submit to dis
memberment. This the challenge presented 10 and
you he question the West shall the arsiocracy
rule the Mssisspp' the question in the East shall
the astocray have the whole teacoast down to the Gulf
and tho who'll country pronounced unanimously this sha
be and when they went to to establish separate
arsocrntc Government, like the monarchica institutions
tf the Old World, then we went to war too.
Now, then the simple question before us is, is hi.
country worth Are the hopes depending upoa the
prosperity d American institutions worth enough to JUS
tify in going to for the nations life Is the life Of
this naton worth enough 10 justify US IN going t. war
Lock through he history Of mankind and tell me where
y,u find people involved IN struggle Tor more
nobe bject than that Of preserving nato al life. We
to pr the life OF this naon and the integrity
OF this nation too we mean to make IT thoroughly inpos
be in time TO come that disascted facon IN any part
OF the uniry strike death blow at the vitality Of

That is all there is OF it, ana have therefore, m doubt
about the isl Of this have stated the issue
tain from the very beginning-that it was simply
question If endurance 1t ample question whether
the great Of the people would continue to struggle
TO enable the Government to subdue the arist0rrac FAC
tiun and to prevent them from controlling the whole
aborpg population OF the Southern States, white aud

this rebel on down in the first six months Some lines
thought might have been done but 1t has turned GU,
that we could not yet aud the has gone with vary
ing until At last have the pns ons
that certain t. briag suppose all military
will agree that the military occupation OF East Ien-
must necessarily control the issue n the war IL
the rebels could take possession o that erat valley and
hold it permanently, aud eud out their amles fr'm that
loc ilty then could not hope for Ia the long
