MIR. Chase nm Original secessionist

MIR. Chase nm Original Secessf0nist.
One of the bitter pro-Lincoln and anti
Chase journals, which before the war pam
dered to Southern caprices and whims, is
Hoper's Weekly. In its issue for March IL,
in an article headed "Every Man for Him
SELF 1t says ''Mr. CHASE, at the same time,
[the beginning of the warl was not opposed
to letting the seeding States 60. thinking,
probably, they could not be held" Here is
direct charge from widely circulated
Administration paper of no mean authority
that Mr.. CHASE was, at the beginning Of the
war, thorough secessionist for II he was,
as stated, mot opposed to-" he was certain
ly in favor Of '.letting the seeded States
CO."
Yet secessionist as he was, Mr.. LINCOLN
retained him in his Cabinet, and entrusted
HIM with the nations purse. If this state
ment Is made by the Lincoln organ to dis
credit Mr.. CHASE 1t certainly does not pay
avery high compliment to the man it would
serve. The placing of known secession
ist In the Cabinet and at the head of the
Treasury Department will be regarded by
honest men as the next thing, at least to
being one himself It was bruited abroad
: some time since in '1oyal' papers that Mr..
CHAsE's department was full Of secession
clerks, and much was said about clearing
them out. 1t seems, according to the au-
thority above quoted, that the servants, II
they entertained secession views, were but
following in the footsteps oftheir master.

Judge Kcnnon and Son ala Right
for Lincoln and Johnson.

The Democratic papers of the Butternut
persuasion, have for some weeks past. been
nppropriating the names of Judge Kennon
and his son, Il. Il. kennon, Esq, to very
base purpose, that of bolstcring up the
hopeless cause ofMcClelsn and PendIeton-
by publishing far and near that they had
abandoned the Union cause, the support of
the administration and the war. From the
bright countenance the Judge had on few
evenings ago, on entering this Office, and
lhc eagerness with which he sought to learn
the particulars OF Sheridan's great victory
over the rebels at Fishers Hill, we thought
no Butternut blood lurkcd in his veins
and, from the following, which appears in
the BELMONT CHRONICLE of Thursday,
now We know it-and wish this public 10
read, that they may know it-ani know
moreover to what expedients the BGt:ernut
Democracy resort to- to uphold an unjust
and desperate cause. The CHRONICLE says:
JUDGE KENNoN.--The GuernseS Jeffer-
sonian of last week announced that our emi-
nent fellow-citizcn. Hon. VIM. Krnuon, sr.
and his son, u. e. Kennon, Esq, are 'out
for Mcclellan" Judge Kennon is one of
the most decided Union .men we have in
Belmont County, and so is his son, Il. H.
Kennon. They have.no feeling whatever
in sympathy with the Mcclellan party, and
will beth vote for Lincoln and johnson; and,
more thsn that, Judge Kennon will vote for
Mr.. Bingham this Fall, although he voted
for White two years ago.
Judge Kcnnon, VIC will state once for all,
is for Lincoln, johnson and Bingham and
stands were every truo patriot should be
found at this crisis for hiScountryi-- Steub.

The First Vote for Old Abe.

Ii seems that in the enrolling act passed
by Congress last winter for the Territory of
Colorado to become State, provision was
made that the vote for President should be
cast at the time Of voting for or against their
Constitution The 2l Colorado regiment of
volunteers now on duty in Missouri, voted
at that election day before yesterday. The
result was a solid vote of about 800 for the
Constitution, and all but four of them we're
for "Old Abe" for president. Col James
II. Ford cast the first vote. Pence stock
among the gallant Colorado boys, is at very
low fgures--not even one per cent There

dressed by some of the most distinguished
men Of Pennsylvania, among them Sim on
. Cameron. the Hon. john Coyode, the Hon
WIN. T. Johnston, Hon. j. K. Morehead,
and j. A.. j. Buchanan. The following
letter from Daniel s. Dickinson made the
vast audience rock and rolf withvmirth:
BINGhAstToN, Sept. "a, 1864.
JoHN W. RIDpELL, Esq, Chnrmaa OF
Committee, 6c.--M Dmr Sir: Our Cir
cult Court sits here on the Goth, and will
doubtless continue week, and, being en-.
gagged in legal practice, | cannot leave. But
for this, your very kind invitation for the
29th, aud my desire to ventilste the Chicago
capitua,ion before the people of Pittsburgh
would be quite likely to secure my attend
aDce. h-
Believing General Mcclellan entitled to
fair treatment, | am quite inclined to CEN
sure those who are proposing to distort his
comely proportions by placing one foot in
the sliding, slippery surrender structure Of
Chicago, and the other on vigorous prose-
cution OF patriotic war on conservative
principles! 1t requires too much tension of
muscle, and is entirely unjustiied at tho
present price of ready-made clothing. The
COLOSSUS of Rhodes, though made of brass
nearly equal to that Of Chicago, fell in at.
tempting to stand astride a much narrower
gulf than separates these points, and as the
General is well read in history as well q,
classic fable, he will have no apology for at.
tempting an exploit Of such unusual daring.
Hoping for the success Of the Union cnuse,
and believing that our good land is to be
rescued from the grasp Of the desreiler,
am, Sincerely yours, y. S. Dickinson.
