JOHN n BRAYER Of lI-nry County
CHASE is represented to have surrendered
uoeonditionally to the Copperhead leaders,
and stands before the country without, shred
ofsprincipIe to cover his nakedness in bis in
sane ambition to fi the Presidential Chair.
lie favors the enfranchisement Of the rebels
under general smnesty policy, aaa is con
tent to leave the question of negro sutfrsgs
to the nagnanimity Of the rebel whites. Al
least, such is the statement CT his position,
as set forth BY Tom Florence in his secesh
sheet, under the false colors of the Union.
When q man like Chase squanders in q
breath the reputation of Lifetime, the weak
ness and meanness Of human nature seems
20 have saak iato depths beyond the reach Of
ene hand of Resurre :,iou
The champion OF free, soil, the advocate Of
negro auffrage. who insisted upon the enfran-
ehisement Of the negroes OF the south ~ the
one thing essential in reconstrnction 70 the
salvation Of the country, and who travelled
over the South and delivered lectures to the
negroes in support Of that position, nov pro
poses to surrender the negroes deprived Of
the right Of suffrage to the tender mercies Of
the white rebels, N hopes thereby ef seessss-
,ag copperhead and seeesh favor, and secur
ing the nomination to the Presidency against
Gen. Grant, the saviour Of the country.
Let it never be forgotten that Chase was in

of the rebellion. aud Of making up for the
loss by the annexation Of Canada. Having

and if he can now get rid Of his financial re-
cord, including the National Banking System

Some men, like Bonaparte and Daniel
Webster, grow to be 30 great that they regard
she laws OF morality and the general proprie-
ties and constituencies which control othe
suen, as entirely inapplicable TO them, and
set up their own interests and their own de-
sirrs IS the sole ara all-suficieut law and mo
live By which their actions are TO be guided
and their conduct 10 be judged. Such mer
become moral monstrosities, and sooner o.
LATER incur the just apprehension Of mankind
and the indignant re,ribution of an offended
Deity. This Dedication Of SELF peculiar Il
men Of an nnbounded ambition, is mora
insanity, which deranges the mind, de
stroys the judgment, and overthrows the rea
son. Chief Justice Chase 10 already mono
maniac on tho subject, and is no longer fit i
be trusted, morally or intellectually, becaus
Of the decentralization which the disease he
worked in his nobier faculties of his mind an,
heart, clouding his reason and warping an,
bunting his moral perceptions and judg
ment.
