THE CHASE MOVEMENT.

1t would seem that Jefferson Davi
aud Andrew Johnson are to be Above;
to get to their graves and live in histor,
developed in comparative honor. Juda
Iscariot found some palliation and de
Tense by reason of his remorseful self
destruction the calumny surrounding
the name of Benedict Arnold has been
softened through the contrasts afforded
by the Rebellion; Tyler's name has
been partially rescued from obloquy by
the course of Andrew Johnson and
now, The Humble Individual himself
seems destined to catch some faint illu-
nination upon the page of history
through comparison with the blackened
name OF Salmon P. Chase. The stories,
too monstrous to be believed, which
cane to US just subsequent to the con-
yening Of the Impeachment Court, and
by the terms of which the damnable
trsachery of the Chief Justice was fore
told, seem to be confirmed beyond any
reasonable doubt. he has concluded
10 either sell his share of the Republi-
can party to the Philistines, or, falling
to make that atrocious barter, 10 enter
the field as guerrilla candidate for the
purpose of dividing the party and de-
fea,ing Grant. The statement of his
intentions is too explicit to be doubted,
coupled as it is with his late official
record. Is the Presidential aspiration
a blighting mania that it should thus
make its subjects insanely, villainousiy
ambitions? Faithful history records
the deplorable fact that the grandest
American mind became debased to the
most pitiable humiliation through the
insidious advances of the most inc urable
of maladies.
What a fearful era this is Honor,
good faith, self respect, manly consist
eucy all the robler, more admirable
attributes of glorious manhood all
that virtue prizes and Christianity ex-
tolls all that eleSates, pHrifes ana
strengthens; all that is certain to com
mand the confidence and veneration of
mankind and ensure that consciousness
Of right without which gra.iGed ambi-
ton is nothing but gnawing canker,
all these priceless jewels of the nina
are ruthlessiy cast away for the gratifi- |
cation Of the prostituting last of office!
Veil may we tremble for the country, |
well may we look forward with dread to |
the Developments Of tie future, well is
it that we watch, with vigilant, suspi
rious eye, the most honored and most
trusted of our public men. Is enlight-
med progress to stop, and the means of
Is advance to be destroyed, that the
,evilish Genius of self-cousuming am-

Il seems 100 monstrous for credence
ist the implication OF Fessenden,

conspiracy to demolish the Republican
