SECRETARY CHASE DECLINES.
However zealous'y dissatisfied Unionist.
and scheming politicians may labor to defca
the popular demand Of The people in th.
choice Of candidate for the next Prasiden
cy, the recent letter Of Secretary Chase, de-
clining to enter the field for nomination, i.
certainly conclusive that they must look else
where than to this gentleman for champion
Mr.. Chase has too unseltish q zeal in th,
crushing Of the rebellion and the salvation o.
the Union to disrgard.so unmistakable an
expression as the people have given of thei,
views on the pcadins question of the Presi
dency. In taking this course VIC deem tina,
no has acted as true patriot, and brough,
himself much nsarer. the popular heart
The way seems clear now-if, indeed, it ha,
been clouded before-for the nomination o.
Abraham Lincoln to second term, In fact
It seems the will Of the people that all tried
and true leaders and public men b. continued
in their public trusts until the rebellion shall
have been subdued. Thus, while they DE-
not choose to make change in the CHIEF
Aagistracy Of the Government, they are any
ious to retain Mr.. Chase to administer the
Treasury Department, and General Grant to
lead our armies. 1t was this samo spirit tina,
actuated our Legislature, in retaining James
W. Grimes for another term in the United
States Senate BY vote of one hundred and
twenty three to nine, he receiving the vote
Of every Union member present. The PEG.
pie have their mind steadfastly on the one
great issue-the "big job"-and the side is.
sues Of politicians, Matched up for personal
and unworthy motives, cannot divert their
attention. When they have found . man
equal to tho requirements of his position
whether he be President or Cabinet officer ::
General or there they choose
that he should remain until this fearful war
shall have been brought to a close, and an
enduring peace established.
ANOTHER CALL.-Washington dispatches
state that the President will soon issue an.
other call for eco, COO or 800. 600 moro men,
In the early days of the war the fear was
that wc would get too many men into the
field, and there was constant check put I'D
on eElistments; but in these latter days see.
ing plainly the mistakes Of the past and IN.
sierssanding more fully tho magnitude Of the
work in hand, the solicituds is that We have
men enough, not the fear that We have too
many. Heretofore We have been actuated in
our efforts to crush the rebellion too much by
a notion Of false economy. We commenced
with 1900 men, and have been all of these
three years learning that We want al the men
We can possibly put int the field, in effect.
i've fighting condition. That all the men that
can be secured for the coming campaign can
DO made effective there is no doubt therefore
whatever the number of men called for, there
is no danger Of too many being secured
And Government is determined to put all
the men that can BE- secured into tho field
for the coming campaignl We do not doubt
but what the new call will be made, a. it is
necessary to keep up the progress Of enlist.
ments in all Of the States quite number Of
the States having already filled their quotas
under the SEQ, GOO call, and others nearly 80.
Those States and localities, therefore, that
have cleared themselves of all existing de-
mands, should not cease in their sxcrtions to
recruit the armies of the Union. General

spring." and we may we'll believe no is and
'siN. Let US, then, for the coming campaign
bring all our strength and energy and skill to
bear on the rebellion, and may we not hope
that the worst will soon DO over:
