Independent Candidate.

Some of the ciotchety politicians are
eDdeavoling to get up public SEMI
ment in favor OF scme other man than
Mr.. Lincoln for President, and know
ing the popularity of Mr.. Chase. his
name is used TO give show ofstrength
TO the movement But we think we
know Mr.. Chase TOO well to entertain
the opinion that he will permit his name
TO be used in any manner calculated TO
distract or divide the great Union and
Freedom party Of the nation. We have
no more idea that he will suffer hlmsel II
to be an independent candidate against
Mr.. Lincoln than we have Of being such
a candidate ourself.
Grn. Freemont's name is also used
by these ullraists and impraciicables,
and is strongly talked OF as an lndepen-
dent candidate, We have too niue n
faith in his good sense to think he will be
made their tool, either to snbserve theil
malice or coun;enance their folly. Sc
far Mr.. Lincoln is The man. He is ouI
choice; we believe he is the choice o
the nation by an overwhelming majo
rlty.

The Rebel States.

There are certain class OF poiiti
clans who labor incessanily to prove
that the Safes embraced in the Confed-
eracy are actually and legally in the
Union. This dogma is quite popular
with certain conservative men, who rea,
son that a Stale cauno; legally secede,
and hence cannoi legally Get out of the
Union. On this hypothesis, they claim
that the seeded States are still in the
Uniun, ans. TO acknowledge them out
of the Union is to admit the rish, Of
secession.
The fallacy of this argumen: consists
in ignoring facts, Legally State can
no; secede; .torcibly i, may. Suppose
the ConfeJeracy should obtain its indie
penlcnce, would the States composing
it be sill! in the Union Certainly not
They would no; ge, Out legally, howey-
er. but by Joroe-by revolution; aud

The fac, is irdisputabIe. The rebel
States are out OF he Union aud Layc

pant in tie Government, but have used
their best enieavors to des.royi'. They
are not only ont Of The Union, municip-
ally. but open and ayowed enemies 10 it,
with arms in hand TO overthrow il. To
clam tia: such Ststes,in their capacity
as States. are in the Uhion is simply
claiming what is not true-it is p,es
essentially snd radically false, and all

iallacious.
The terriiory-ihe land-of these

the bogus governments which have
