henheby.
Hon. Salmon P. Chase delivered 3 speech At
Coyington, KY, on las. Thursday evening, in
which, after referring to the Presidential cam
paigu four years ago, aud ils result 10 the slee-
ton OF Air Lincoln, lie reviews the question Of
secession, and the disappointment OF the rebels
at being unable to drag Kentucky aud Missouri
from the Union. lie then defends the war
policy Of the Administration and refutcs the
charge, so often made, that the objects Of the war
have been changed.
Mr.. Lincoln, he snys has not changed the
object Of the war at ALL lie prOseoutes the war
for the Union, just as before. lie finds nlavory
in tue way and he ihtusts il out Of the way
Aud the loyal people. in tue midst Of whom The
authority Of the Union is restored, all say amen.
They want it out Of the way, and they will have
it out Of the way. They themselves are putting |
It out Of the way. There will be no slavery |
left TO trouble this country any longer, in the |
rebel States, when this war comes 10 I'M eul.
Alter showing that tho war has mol been q |
failure, by setting forth the immense amount OF
ierrtory regained by our slill advancing armies,
MIR. Chase comes to the subject Of the present
election, and concludes Rs follows:
| few weeks ago Maine spoke, but Maine was
a great way of in the East, and We scarcely
heard the thunder OF her voice. What she says,
It was argued, is not Of much consequence
Wait for the West. We are told thnt lndiana
would condemn the war, aud so would Ohio aud
PenusylVaniA. Well Indiana, Ohio aud Penn
sylvania have spoken d. they say retreat,
uegoiiaic, or compromised Do they pronounce
the war q failure Ohio gives from hfty to sixty
thousand majority for u vigorous prosecution of
the MAR. Indiana gives twenty thousand ma
jOrily for the re election OF her tried aud true
Governor, who has been ono Of its btaunohest
supporters And what says Pennsylvania The
+ Opposition family claim that they have carried
PrnnBylvania on the home vote, but the latest
intelligence No can obtain not only assures us Of
Union majority Of the home vote, but OF
majority Of fifteen or twenty thousand when the
soldiers are counted We have elected tho entire
State ticket, have elected a majority in both
branches Of the General Assembly, aud ma
i jority In both branches Of tie CITY Council of
Philadephia. That will do for ihe present lu
November PeunsylVania must do better Now,
nay friends, you may count every doubtful vote
. against Mr., Lincoln, and etill there are certain
votes enough to elect hun, with handsome sur
plus. The result will prove, think that there are
a not many uncertain votes. As the tide rolls ou
