What Chief Justice Chase thinks OF an
Unta1ed Debt.

What Chief Justice Chase thinks OF an
Unta1ed Debt.
The statement we made last week
does not give an exactly correct idea
of the position of the Chief Justice on
this subject. We therefore give below
his own words, in an extract from a
recent letter TO Governor Smyth, of
New Hampshire, as published by the
Concord Legislative Reporter.
ii was particularly pleased by your
protest against the new scheme to por-
petuate an untaxed debt. You will
readily imagine that after all my la.
bors, and with 80 great success to es.
tablish the principle Of controlIability
of the public debt, by making it pay
able the six per cen: at any time after
five and within twenty years, and the
five per cent at any time after ten and
within forty years, it was very painful
TO see u proposition fora loan not refund
able at all ulrafter thirty years, l can
understand an argument tor not taxing
a debt which the creditor may take mp
after five or ten years, for | can see
the country may save more in interest
than it would lose in taxes but | IL
not imagine an honest argument for a
debt for thirty years, and exempted
from the taxing burden to which other
property may DO subjected, l got
money, and all that was needed, in the
worst times, on short comfortable loans,
subject to national taxation. Surely,
there is no eason now to depart from
tho plan of Five.twonty six per cents,
and Ten, forty.6ve per cents, whom
there is now no money to be borrowed,
but only the floating debt to be funded"

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
ADDRESS OF Gov ORR TO THE PEOPLE OF
SoUTH CAROLINA.

Fellow CITIZENS AS Vice President.
of the National Union Club tor the State
ot South Carolina | earnestly. invite yonr
attention TO the call for q National Con-
vention, issued by the Executive Commit
tee OF that body, and recommended by
mary of the most eminent aud patriotic
members of both branches OF the present
Congress.
Tie importance Of this meeting, and
the beneficial consequences to result from
it, can scarcely be exaggerated. Separa-
ted as we have been for the last five years
from all communication with the people
OF the North and West, knowing but little
OF their opinions, except as expressed
through the unj ust and oppressive action
of The bitter partizan majority which at
present controls the National Legislature,
this is the first opportunity which has been
afforded us to take free and equal counsel
with those who feel impeled by sense ct
high patriotism to oppose the unjust
schemes of the radicals in their systematic
eff >rt to oppress and humiliate the people
of these States, and defeat, if possible, the
reconstruction OF the Union indefinitely.
The address states clearly the principles
upon which we are expected to act III COM
mon and it seetps TO me that there is not
one to which this State cannot subscribe
IN honor and with sincerity. We simply,
+. recognize those results which the events of
the late war have placed beyond the
bounds of any future political discussion
results in which we have unanimously and
sincerely acquiesced, and i'll conformity to
WHICH we have alread y modified our Con
stitution, our legislation and our political
sentiments. -.
edoment of the wisdom of that policy by
which Andrew JohIlsop,' President of the
United S, ates,e has in the midst of difficult
ties unparalleled III the history of any adj
Slninistration, maintained the integrity OF
: the Cons tuition, identified the exercise o1
i Executive power with the rules of strict
Justice and the spirit OF mercy, and proved
: his legitimate right TO succeed the great
s founders of the Republic as the syChiet
T. Magistrate of common country, whl ch
can be made and preserved as one. nation
) only by the equal administration OF just
i and equal laws. a...fs5s =.
The purpose of the Convention will be
to organize, upon the principles set fortl
,in tile Committees address, ali conserva
{ tive men of all sections, and Of all former
parties, and, If possible, drive from power
that Radical party who are daily tramp

this can complete it. Nothing more re-
mains to be done and nothing more is nee
essary. Every DAYS delay is attended by
multiplying and increasing inconveniences
enl barrassments, and dangers, at home
and abroad. Congress possesses the pow
er exclusively; Congress. after session
OF seven mouths, still on,its to exercise that
power. "What can be done to induce
Congress to act 9'' This is the question of
the day. Whatever is done must be in
accordance, with the Constitution and
laws. 1t is in perfect accordance with the
Constitution and laws that the people Of
the United States shall assemble, by dele
gates, In Convention, and taat when so as
sembled they shall address Congress by
respectful petition and renonstrance, and
that the people in their several States, Dis
tricts, and Territories shall approve, sane
ton, and mite in such respectful repre-
sentations to Congress. No one party
could do this ehectnally, or even seems
willing to do it, alone no local or popu-
lar organization could do it ehectually.-
| 1t is the interest OF all parties alike; of
all the States, and OF all sections--a ma
tional interest /; the interest Of the whole
people,
The Con vention, indeed, may not sue
ceed in inducing Congress to act but if
they fail, the attempt can make matters no
worse. It will. be lawful and patriotic
attempt made in the right direction, an
effort to be remembered with pride and
'satista action whether it succeed or iail The
original union OF the States was brought
about by movements of the same charac-
| ter. The citizen who objects to the Com
vention is bound to propose q better plan
of proceeding 10 effect the desired end
No other plan is oiinared or even .lionght
of. Those who should oppose it would
seem to me to manifest at best unconcern,
if not opposition 70 all reconstruction, re-
organization, restoration, and Cancellation
between the alienated masses OF the Amer
lean people. asa<a. .s
To admit that the Convention will fail
would be to admit that the people OF the
! United States are deficient in either the
wisdom or the virtue necessary to contin-
ne the existence Of the Republic. l be-
lieve no such thlng--A great political
writer says that government is a secular
religion, and that the people Of every
country are divided into two classes, each
maintaining district political faith. The
] one class always Tear the very worst that
! can possibly Happen, and the other hopes
under every circumstance the very best
that can in any event happen.
1 Without accepting this theory as abso-
lutely true, / think that all men do gen
orally act from motive to guard against
public danger or else from a positive
i desire TO do good. Both classes may
therefore, favor the present attempt to re-
\ store the unity Of the nation.
