The Cincinnati Enquirer says
Our correspondent in Washington has
obtained, by some diplomatic artifce,
a most important political document,
which we give below in advance of any
ether publication. 1t is is issued with
the sanction and under the auspices
of three.fourths of the Republican
United States Senators: a.. 9" H.
4"WAsHINGToN, D. c., Feb. 1861
"Ehe movements recently. made
throughout the country, to secure the
renomination of President Lincoln,
render necessary some counteraction
on the part Of those unconditional
friends Of the Union, who differ from
the policy of his Administration.
$50 long as no efforts were made
to forestsll the political action Of the
people, it was both wise and patriotic
for all true friends of the Government
to devote their influence to the sup
preston of the rebellion. But when
it becomes evident that party machi-
merry and official influence are being
used to secure the perpetuation of the
present Administration, those who
con8cientio usly believe that the inter
csts of the country and of freedom
demand change in favor Of vigor
and purity and nationality, have no
choice but to appeal at once to the
people. before it shall be too late to
secure far discussion of principles.
"Those in behalfof whom this COM
munication is made, have thoughtfully
surveyed the political field, and have
arrived at the following conclusions:
"1. That, even we're the reelection
of Mr.. Lincoln desirable, it is practi-
cally Impossible against the union Of
Influences which viii oppose him.
''2. That, should he be reelected,
gis manifest tendency toward compro-
misses and temporary expedients Of pol
icy will become stronger during se~
cond term than it has in the first, and
the cause of human liberty and the
dignity and honor Of the nation suf-
fer proportionately, while the war may
continue; while the war may continue
to languish during his whole adminisv
tration, till the public debt shall bc>
come a burden too great to be borne.
"3. That the patronage Of the Gov
ernment, through the necessities Of
the war, has been so rapidly increas>
ed, and to such an enormous extent,
and so loosely placed, as to render the
application of the 'one- term principle
absolutely essential to the certain safe
ty of our Republican institutions.
81. That we find united in Hon.
Salmon P. Chase more of the qualities
needed in President during the next
four years, than are combined in any
other available candidate; his record,
clear and unimpeachable, showing him
to be statesman of rare ability, and
an administrator Of the Sesy highest
order, while his private character fur
nishes the surest obtainable guaran tee
of economy and purityin the manage
mcnt of public affairs.
ss5- That the discussion of the Pres
idential question, already commenced
by the friends of Mr.. Lineoln, has de.
veloped popularity and strength in
Mr.. Chase, unexpected even to his
warmest admirers; and while we are
aware that his strength is at present
unorganized and iii no condition to
manifest its real magnitude, We are
satisfied that it only needs systematic
and faithful effort, to develop it to an
extent sufficient to overcome all oppo>
sing obstacles. .yr.I.5 .s.....- -
"For these reasons the friends of
Mr.. Chase have determined on meas
uros which shall present, his claims
fairly and at once to the country. A
central organization has been effected,
which already has its connections in
all the States, and the object of which
is to enable his friends every where
most effectually to promote his eleva>
ton to the Presidency. We wish the
hearty co operation of all those in fa-
vor of the speedy restoration of the
Union upon the basis of universal
freedom, and who desire an admins.
tration of the Government during the
first period ofits new life, which shall,
to the fullest extent, develop the Ca
pacity of free institutions, enlarge the
resources Of the country, diminish the
burdens of taxation. elevate the stan>
dard of public and private morality,
yindicate the honor of the Republic
before the world, and in all things,
make our American nationality the
fairest example for imitation which
human progress has ever achieved.
'sIf these objects meet your appro-
val, you can render efficient aid by
exerting yourself atronce Il to organize
your section Of the country, and by
corresponding with the Chairman of
the National Executive Committee,
for the purpose either of receiving or
information. ag~
