Salmon p. Chase spoke in Cincinnati on
the Monday following election, to some
thousands Of rejoicing Unionists, and thus
outlined his views OF the meaning OF the
great verdict on the Sth of November:
II do not think that some of the men
who have sinned 50 deeply against the peo-
pie. and against the nation, and against
God, will be likely to receive much lenity
from Mr.. Lincoln. But toward all those
who have been drawn into rebellion by the
overshadowing influence of the leaders
who have gone into it unwillingly, or even
willingly, under mistaken approximations
to all except those who have formed, plot
ted, arranged. carried out this rebellion
to all except those criminals, I suppose q
liberal spirit may be shown. But upon the
essential conditions there can be no change.
And those conditions are the Union and
freedom. The Union, embracing every
foot of the old republic-Union under the
old flag, floating everywhere, and freedom
for all men, 50 that wheresoever the flag
shall float, it will float over no master and
noslave." [Applause.]
Amen to that!
