be the Democratic candidate for President,
for the very good reason that he is not now
and never has been Democrat. On nearly
every question that has arisen between the
two great parties of the country, for the last
twenty years, Mr.. Chase has been openly
antagonistic to the Democratic party
Recently, however, we are free to admit,
that Judge Chase has done many acts to
elicit the admiration, not only of Demo-
Gratis, but of all friends of Constitutional |
liberty throughout the land. His conduct |
during the recent "Impeaehment trial"
was honorable to his head and heart, and
won for him the sympathy and friendship
OF the great body of the Democratic party.
But because the Democracy approve these
acts of Judge Chase, that is no reason why
they should make him their leader and
standard-bearer in the approaching Presi-
Dental campaign.-Mount Vernon Banner.
WoN'T Do.-Very great men sometimes
make very great fools of themselves. The
telegraphic correspondent from Washing
ton to the Inquirer says, that Alec. Long
and Dan. Vorhees are both at Washington
working industriously for the nomination
of Chase by the Democracy. We have a
very sincere admiration for Voorhees,, and
hope the dispatch is falsehood. But if
Mr.. Voorhees, is working for Chase btliev-
ing that he is working for Democratic sue
cess, he has studied Western sentiment to
very little advantage. Pendleton will get
two votes West where Chase will get one,
and Mr.. VOORHEES, ought to know it. Per-
sonal jealousy no doubt actuates Long.
We hope VOORHEES, is not sctuated by the
same motives. The nomination of Chase
would, we fear, wreck the Democratic par
ty and the country.-Chilltcothe Advertiser.
CHASE FOR PREsIDENT.-We will just
quietly hint to the policy gentlemen who
talk about nominating Judge Chase on the
Democratic ticket for President, that the
Wayne County Democrat and the Holmes
County Farmer, papers that represent 5000
as good Democrats ss ever the Lord put
honest hearts in, will support no such
nominee. They will labor for any Dem
ocrat that may be nominated, but only for
Democrat. That's our policy. No mon
grel ticket, gentlemen, If you please
Wayne County Democrat.
Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM says in his paper
that If it becomes absolutely necessary to
go outside of the Democratic party for
Presidential candidate, he would prefer
Chase to any who have been named. Mr..
V. is right, but there will be no going out
side of the ranks of our own party, where
victory lies, to find man to lead US to de-
feat. When we do this there is no longer
Democratic party.-Hansilton True Tele-
graph.
TAKE NOTICE, BoNDHoLDER.-Mr.B Bond
holder, you are hereby notified that the
ernmant of the United States called the
5-20's are now due, and we, the people,
sureties on those bonds, demand that you
present them for payment in legal tender,
non-inrerest bearing notes, or we will no
longer remain as sureties OIL said bonds.
Greenbacks, Mr.. Bondholder, or not one
dollar.
Equal taxation, Mr.. Bondholder, or re-
pudiation.
Thus say the PEOPLE, and they are the
only indorsers your bonds have.
Thus say the people of Connecticut, of
Oregon, of California, of New York, of
Pennsylvania, of Ohio, of Indiana, of
Washington, of Chicago, and of hundred
other places.
You may shout "copperhead" until
your throat is sore, you cannot change the
decree-greenbacks or not dollar; equal
taxation or repudiation!
Listen to the people while they are will
ing to talk to you, or such peals of thunder
will fill your ears that you will be unable
to talk.
You can no longer oppress the people,
They have paid you interest in gold until
you have already received an amount great
er than the principal-they are tired of it
and will stand it no longer!
If you wish to save the nation from the
dsgrace-if disgrace it be-of reputation,
have your bonds taken up with the same
kind of currency that pays the widow, or
phan, wounded soldier and laboring man,
and pay your share of taxation.-We eekly
Northwest.
REPUDIATIoN-The Radicals claim the
plan of paying the bouds in the legal cur
rency of the country is ''sugar-coated re-
pudiation ~ Very well-call it that if you
will. "We'll take sugar in ours;" but a
year or two more of Radical thievery, cor
ruption and oppression will drive the peo-
pie to take 'repudiation straight. Holmes
Co. Farmer.
"Ol MY BRAIN GOES DEMocRAr1c."-
Oregon has gone Democratic-every
county in it but one giving a Democratic
majority. This is the first election since the
Chicago nominations and shows the feeling
of the people toward the Radical party
Last year the "loyal Union" majority was
500, this year the .National Republican"
party is a thousand votes behind. Hur-
rahl Hurrahi How are you Lick, and
how are you, Schuyler-Coldfacts, amt
they? Bad to take! Your first flag raised
in Lynn, Massachusetts,, was raised over an
undertaker's shop, and the first election
held since that time against you. Popular
men-both of you. Don't you think you
take? Don't you think you go down well?
You were anxious to try your popularity
and telegraphed to the Radical Chairman
of the State Committee to throw you into
the balance, brass buttons, shoulder straps,
gas, whisky and ALL and the result is you
have come out squeezed! We are letting
you down q notch at time! Oregon is
the first State, get ready for the next, and
put oil Ohio in for twenty-one electoral
votes along with the balance. We have
'em, and are going to give 'em. We are
going to express the whisky from Grant
and abstract the wind from ColtaX! We
are going to send the immortal Hiram back
to Galena, Ill, not when the apple bios
SONS bloom, for that twas when the RAIDS
impeached A. j." but long about the
time that the apples are gathered-the
same ones that blossomed when A. j. was
impeached. Oregon has gone Democratic
Whoopee! Where is grammar man
string out your adjective good--tor Ore
gon! She goes Democratic by a thousand
majority. 'Rah for Grant and ColfaX =
Peopls's Defender.
IT is the duty of the Press-that part OF
the Press devoted to Sound Government
and to the public welfare-to make known,
day by Gay, that Congress has no power to
make inquest on the private affairs of the
people. They have some limited powers
to provide for the punishment of crimes
The present attempt of the baff1ed I'm
peachment Committee to steal kilograms
from the telegraph Office and to pry into
correspondence, is high misdemeanor, q
disgrace to the Congress which connives at
it. and disgrace to the people who tole-
rate the outrage. 1t is an act OF that class
which the law never suspects as possible
and therefore has no remedy for it in ad-
vance. Every man is remitted to his orig
inal right of repelling personal outrage
and redressing his own wrongs in sum-
mary way. 1t is to be hoped that the right
man will be found at the right time to dc
himself right, and to teach villainy to be-
ware.-Urbana linton.
