The following seems well authen-
Gated: Chase has written to John
Ciscoe, Of New York, in reply to
,rtain queries concerning the plat
'rm which would be acceptable to
i'm. In this letter Mr.. Chase takes
le ground that the subject of uni
orsal suffrage should be left where,
his opinion, the Constitution of
10 United States leaves it, and that
le general government has moth
e to do with it.
He is in favor of universal am
esty, and the removal of all disa-
lities on account of participation
the last rebellion, and believes it
necessary to the admin
tration of good government in the
to rebellious States, and to the full
I'd satisfactory establishment of
e practical relations of these States
ith the other States of the Union.
He strongly condems military
,vernments in time of peace as in
with the principles of
vii liberty, and believes that a
ee people will never sanction them.
c believes that taxes should be as
yht as possible, and that they
ould be so distributed as to bear
,on the rich rather than on the
,or.
He holds that while all the Ma
'nal obligations should be honest
fulfilled, no privileges should be
anted to any class of individuals
corporations.
Mr.. Chase has always believed
d now believes in the fundamen-
doctrine of Democracy, and this
ragraph very faithfully defines
J present position. l
