! J' /A \V^ \ XX'V * The" Hera Id is very Litter upon Chief Jus: ,4 lice. Chase, whom it styles the "Great Negro "Worshipper." In the course of its remarks, j U says: "These" tilings being so, we cordially sympathize wkh the popular indignation at the dc\* gradationof the ermine worn by Chief Justice f Chase (luring his electioneering tour nmoug '* \he canebrakes of South Carolina. It .Mr. Chase feels himself unfitted for the olfice of . Chief Justice, if he knows himself to be in competent to discharge its duties and meet it* . responsibilities, he can tender his resignation^ which will be at once accepted. But while he holds the office he is morally bound uot to disgrace it. The office is a sublime one, aud the - illustrotis predecessors of Mr. Chase appreeiated its dignity and importance. We can im? ^V'agitie Chief justice Marshall shuddering with ' indignation in his grave as he sees the Ciiief Justiceship transformed into a temporary it' fuge for a restless poJiticiau who uses its high prerogatives to prosecute his plans for securing a Presidential nomination, careless whether or not those plans may involve the country in a sanguinary social war. The circular letter scut to the VVcst by Mr. 'Chase reveals what his purposes are, and his stumping tour among the Southern negroes develops the mentis by which he hopes to succeed, lie intends, if . ' possible, to be our next President and he expects to accomplish this bv menus of ultra rud ical and, perhaps, the free iK-gro vote. This vole he desires to gain through the agitation of the negro sulfernge oucstion, as a sort of up pc-ndix to (Lie abolition tpicsiiou. We oppose this lamentable scheme, not be Cause we believe that it has the slightest prospect of success, so Jar as Mr. <Jha#e is concerned, but because of the degradation of the Chief Just ire-hip in being thus dragged through <hc mire of politics, and because of the dreadful conse<| nonces whieb may follow such j an a?j taliun as lite Chief Justice lias com j ineiiccd." * * ? * * - * "At this crises, and while the government is considering bow to solve this wil;ieu!t and important problem, Chief Justice t'hiv! visits llie j South, lie comes nsteusablv Id establish or I reopen the United States courts, although bis ! presence lor fundi an obj' ct is entirely super-! litmus and unnecessary. Keallv, viflmitl extenuation, be come? as a lirebrand to precipitate a conflict which it is his soil-in it duly to j prevent. Witimnt del iv be sets himself Up as an authority .outside of the government, and, therefore, in opposition to the government ; for during such crisis he who is ma with ns is against us. Knowing tlio immense gravity which attaches to his words on account of the position he occupies, he calls together two or three thousand blacks, and does not hesitate to suggest doubts of the policy of the administration towards thetn. adding the significant enecr that he?the great negro-worshipper?is "no longer in its councils." In the very face of the constitution he announces that be ilknows no reason" why the privilege of sufferago may not be at once and universally given to the blacks, thns prcdeciding a constitutional question which may possibly be brought before the Supreme' Court for its decision. It is bad enough for the Chief Justice to volunteer these serai-judicial opinions; but it is worse for him to volunteer tliom tor political purposes, going into the market to bid for negro votes against the person who arrested ex Governor Aiken, because that Southern loyalist had thirty thousand dollars worth of silver plate and twenty thousand bottles of old Vinc in his cellar. Is Mr, Chase ignorant of the horrolt of St. Domingo ? Is he unmindful of the fact that those horrors arose, not from the actual proclamation of freedom, but from th'e efforts to readjust the status of the emancipated blacks? Ignorantly or wilfully, he is provoking a new social war between the races of the South. Ilis words arc incendiary, and they cmbarrae the govern ment. Instead of being at his post of duty at Washington, to asswt iri the trial of the assassination conspirators, he is electioneering among possible votei-s for sutferages whibh may yet be defied them. With all our respect for the office he holds, we cannot forbear rebuking such proceedings in the strongest tflrms. In v? deed, our respect for tlieCliief Justice's ermine renders us the more impatient with biui who bedraggles and disgraces it."
