Chief Justice Chase a State Rights Man
Awkwardness of his Position in Respect
to the Treason Trials.

from the WorLd. ..H.
We copy from the Cincinnati Commercial an
interesting recital, proving by the clearest evi-
dence, that MIR, Chase, when Governor of Ohio,
resisted the execution of the Fugitive Slave act
on State Rights grounds, and that he was not
only prepared, but that he endeavored to preci-
pitate an armed collision with the Federal Gov
erment. The facts stated in the article which
we copy have melted us to investigate MI.
Chase's record on the State Rights question In
such documents as happen to be within easy
reach, and we find so much corroborative evi.
dencs as to justify the assertion that few of our
public men have adhered to that decried doc
trine with more tenaclty than the present Chief
Justice. II ls not surprising, therefore, that he
mas evinced 30 persistent reluctance to preside
al the trial OF Jefferson Davis

CINCINNATI Commercial or producing any of the
eonhrmatory evidence which hasty search has

OF Mr.. Uhases record on the impending trial
II the facts had only a biographicai interest
they would be worth no prominence But if
they are relevant to the most important State
trial ever likely to occur in this country, the

wasted.

Mr.. Stanton's Position.

From the Times.
The newspapers are raising great hue and
cry over Mr.. Stanton's declaration, made in
Cabinet meeting, that he is opposed to the Con-
gressional Committees plan of reconstruction
and in favor of the general principles held on
this subject by the President. The only reason
for any surprise on this point lies in the extent
to which Mr.. Stantons views had been misre-
presented by parties eager to secure for their
own schemes the prestige of his reputation.
Those familiar with the political history of the
past three or four years are well aware that
from its very inception during Mr.. Lincoln's
administration, MIR. Stanton favored what is
now styled the Presidents plan OF restoring the
States latelyin rebellion TO their former rela-
tions TO the Federal Government.
Indeed, MIR. Seward and Mr.. Stanton together
were, unless we are misnformed, the first who
suggested to President Lincoln the appointment
OF Andrew johnson as Military or Provisional
Governor oil Tennessee, for the express purpose
OF taking the initial step towards carving out
this policy of restoration. 1t was even then
toreseen that whenever the war should end some
plan must be adopted for setting IN motion the
wheels OF government in States where they had
been arrested by the Rebellion, and after a full
and thorough examination 1t was decided that
the agency of Provisional Governors was the
best that could be devised. Mr.. johnson was
possessed very thoroughly OF the motives and
general views which led to his appointment.
and entered very heartily inJo them, as did
also the President and his associates in the
Government. .......
Mr.. Stanton, since his connection with the
Administration, has never been, in auy strict
sense, a politician, The overwhelming duties OF
bis department have engrossed his tune and
attention, and In his devotion to them he has
been more than willing to leave to others the
general guidance of political affairs. But he has
never hesitated to express his opinion that the
policy OF restoration then adopted and since
then steadily and resolutely pursued by Presi.
dent Johnson, was the only one which could be
carried into practical effect with any chance OF
positive and bene6cent results. Mr.. Stanton's
splendid services and successes in CARRYING the
country through the war very Justly glve to his
opinions on all public questions very great
weight with the country at large; and 1t has
never been doubtful. at any time, that the Presi
dents views had his warm support.

4 Word for Newspapers We clip the
following article from an exchange 1t is
true, and we commend it to every man who
has an interest where he resides:
Nothing is more common than to hear
people talk Of what they pay newspapers
for advertising, etc, as so much given IN
Charity Newspapers, by enhancing the
value IF property in their neighborhood, and
giving the localities in which they are pub-
lished a reputation abroad benefit all such
particularly if they are1 merchants or real
estate owners, thrice the amount yearly Of
the meageE- sum they. pay for their support.
Besides every public spirited citizen has
laudabIe pride in baviUg-a paper of which
he is not ashamed, even though he should
pick it up in NewY ork or Washington.
A ooi-looking, thriving sheet helps to
sell property, gives character to the locality,
and in all respects is a desirable convent
ence If from any cause the matter in the
local or editorial columns should not be quite
up to the standard, do not cast it aside and
pronounce it ofpo account until you are satis-
lied that there has been more labor bestow-
ed upon it than is paid for, If you want a
good readable sheet it must be supported.
And it must not be. supported in spirit Of
charity, but because you feel a necessity to
support it ThslOcaI press is the power
that moves the people. ~ 7. 1ribgae.t
