HARTFORD, Aug %, 1866.
MIR. EDIToR.-On looking over the list of Vice
Presidents in the late convention at Philadel-
phia, was somewhat surprised by not seeing
the name of Solon Chase, Esq, of Turner,
among the fortunate ones. There could be no
doubt of his qualifications to that high position,
as his history for few years past must be
known to the Democracy of New England
When Mr.. Chase was elected representative
to the Legislature from Turner and Livermore.
some had doubts of his loyalty and his votes
were watched with an eagle eye. But when
he replied to the celebrated speech Of the great
Copperhead of Maine, every doubt was remov-
ed. That reply was echoed and re-echoed
among the hills and dales of old Oxford
"Great is Solon David has slain Goliahr'
Smith passed away but Chase still lived to
be slain upon that sheet that was let down in
Philadelphia where were all manner of Cop
perheads, where the voice of Raymond was
heard, what johnson has cleansed call thou
not treason" The sheet being held at the four
corners by Vallandigham, Wood, Doolittle and
Blair, was let down only once. The hugging
scene could not be surpassed so far as it went
The Copperheads of Massachusetts, and the
rebels of South Carolina should have been es-
corted by Stevens and johnson arm-in-arm to
complete the scene, as the pistol had throned one
and dethroned the other.
As johnson doubts the existence of Congress,
why did he spend so much time over his stud
led vetoes? Did he not know the veto can on
ly be used when majority of Congress passes
the law? Why did he lay his appointments
before body that was not the Senate? These
questions cannot be solved by many. Is it not
the duty of that humble individual of the
White House to inform his constituents? Is
there not an oath ofofice to respect? AS Mr..
Chase's influence in this Congressional Dis
trict is at an end there is some chance for the
reelection of Mr.. PeFham, who has backbone
enough to rise up in "a body called or assuming
to be the Congress and proclaim the truth, if
some have bowed their neck to the instieators
Of Rebellion. What is left of Mr.. Chase will not
frighten the Oxford Bears; their growl will be
heard in September. HARTFORD.

Pulling of the Liou.s skin

The Bangor Times which has long display
ed questionable pair of ears beneath its lions
skin of Union professions, pulls off the dis
guise Tuesday evening thus :
THE CANVASS FOR GovERNoR.-The pro
prietOr of The Times to-day withdraws the
name of Gen. Chamberlain from the head of
of his columns and thus performs duty which
he has, perhaps, too long delayed. 1t has been
liberal men, in respect to the results of Cen
eral Chamberlain's election as Governor, were
to be disappointed. 1t has become certain, that
that event, instead Of weakening the hold upon
political power of the men who have SO long
will only strengthen and confirm it.
Under all the circumstances, the proprietor
of this paper believes it to be the duty of all
who support the patriotic Union policy of
President johnson, to vote for the Hon. f. F.
PHLsBURY for Governor. In no other way
can their voice be made practically effective.
