SPEECH OF EX-SECBETABY CHABB.AT COVINGTON,
KBKTUOKY. '
Hon. Salmon P. Chase delivered a speech at Co
, Ylngton, Ky., on last Thursday evening,-lb; which,
after referring to tlie Presidential campaign four
years‘ago, and Its result In the election of Mr", tin*
coin, he. rovlcws the qirestion of secosslon, and the
- disappointment of the rebels at boing unable to drag
,'Keritnoky and Missouri from the Union. He then 1
{defends the war policy of the" Administration and
srefutes’the charge," soolten made, that tliie'objcotff of
the war have been changed. ...
{| Mr.'Lincoln, he . savß, has net changed the object
of the war at all. Ho. prosecutes the. war. for the
‘ Union, just as before. Ha finds slavery in the way,;
and he thrusts it. .out of: the: way. And’the loyal,
'people, in the midst ol whom-the:,authority of the t
Unton is restored, all say ainen. ' They want It oat .
of the' wayland they'wlllhave it out of the'way.
' They .themselves':'are Lputtlhg It ont of .the' wayi*
’ There will bo no slavery left to trouble this country :
* any longer.in the i-shel States, when thls war comeS'.
te.anend. : ‘
After Showing that’the war has not heen a failure,
by setting forth the immense amount 1 of territory re*'
• gained; by our still advancing armlesj-Mr. Chase
comes to the:': subject of the present election, and ‘
concludes his address as follows:
. Afew weeks ago..Malnespoke. - but,Malne,: was a
great way off In the Eaeti ahd’we scarcely heard
the thunder-of her voice. What she says, ‘ It was
argued, is not of much consequence. Wait Mr the
.West. We.were told that Indiana would'condemn:
the war, and so would Ohio ’and Pennsylvania.--'
Well, Indiana,' Ohio; ahdPOiihsyl vanla have-spoken.
:Do they say retreat; negotiate, or compromise f Do
they,pronounce the war a failure t , Ohio gives from
fifty to sixty thousand majority for a, vigorous prose
cution of the war. ' Indiana gives' twenty-thousand
majority for the re-election of her tried and true
Governor, whohasbeen one ol' its staunchest sup-
Snorters. And ,what :says,-.Pennsylvania? The
Opposition faintly claim - that they have carried,
Pennsylvania on the' home vote," but the
latest - intelligence - we - can ’ 'obtain' : not' : only
assures us of a Union':majority, of : the; home 4
Vote, 1 but of a majority of fifteen or twenty thousand ;
when the'soldiers are ,counted. elected -
1 the entire ' State' ticket, have’ elected a majority In
both branches of the General Assembly, and a mar'
jority in both branches of-the .City Council-of-Phl
ladslphia. ®- That will 'do for 1 the present.' lit No-;
' vecft>eriPennsylvanla'“mnst-do" better.- *N6w;’'my'
friends,-you rmay count every doubtful'vote: against
- Mr'. Lincoln,. and still. there are certain votes
enough to elect himjwithahandsomeßurplus.' The
result will prove,T think, that there are not many
uncertain votes. As the tide rolls-on 1 , and* as -the
earnest determination to preserve the Union be
comes strongor;and more, earnest,.you will find the
people'of.the United States very nearly as. unani
mous as- they were when the first gun was fired
‘upon Sumpter.r * -
Thero-is no such thing, rely upon it, there is no such
thing, as-, persuading our people to; give up-their,
country. They will not consent to see the sacred,
venerablefform ol onreountryhaeked to pieces by
ieberswoidß. ;’-yeu:'may eount as ‘certain ‘that this
country. Is.to-be preserved, and the only question! Is,-
-will webenhanlmous now.?. Will we proht by our -
past experience, and stand together now ? Mr: Lio
; coin ie sure to be sleeted.- Is It best for us to pro-'
sent the'spectacle of afilvidOd people? Will a vote
against Mr. Lincoln do anything for the suppression
ot this rebellionT Everybody,!knows.it will not.
Everybody knows It sympathizer, every'
rebel deserterjlevery man who wants the cause of
' the country tofail,- the stock-jobbers of New York,
who speculate upon the neeesslties.of .the people, in
the rise of gold, every disloyal man of every shade of
disloyalty kriowaTt. Hence they are all agalnstMr. .
Dincolnfsi-Nowj then, is it wffirth vf whUe‘to increase •
their (number ? . Is it not a great deal better, inas- ’
much as Mr. Lincoln is sure to beeleo.tedyis it not a
great ;deal better,* as a matter of mereoommon sense
and ca!cu!atlon, to stand by him, and make there*
bels ieel that thisis a united people, and that they
are dotermlnedthat Mx-Llneoln shall finish the war -
which! they began, by suppressing this rebellion, :
-Askthe men InVthe field; ask .Grant 1. ; He tells
you If the peoplcwlll only be united In this war, he
shall find no-trouble ln |the front - Ask Sherman,
and he tells you the same thing. ?- Ask nearly every
officer in the army,, and they will tell you “ what
we want is a united people at the ballot-box. We
wlll.take care of the rebels if you will take care of
their sympathizers.” Make your ballots tell, and
our bullets will not fail. -f; im Wv v
Now, then, If the men ,who conduct the war are .
thus unanimous, If it is a plain common sense state
mint,.that inUnion strength, safety,"are'and v ßpeedy!
peace, why -should* hot .Kentucky stand by the
Union, and not meselyy.by sthe; Union; but 1 by the :
only man through whom alone,,-under existing
olrcumstances, this -Union can be preserved. .1
speakias to wise rnenj judge ye what I say. don-’
elder thoeo things among-yourselves. Determine
for-yourselves,: whether-or, not it:is ;notibetter in
everypoint of view for Kentuokyandfor Kentuck
ians to stand 1 together with;their ;brethren of Ohio,,
"of Indiana; of Pennsylvania, and' of all'the other.
States, which speak-for Union-andfreedom;! o’be *
establlshed.and seonred through the election of .Mr.
•Iffncoln—a great deal-better than to go .off Into an
( opposition 'where alPtheydo canaval) them no
thing,’just nothing.- 1-I,'-* ■
-Now, - fel low- citizens, :the. time is ■ short. -In-a very
few'days the Issues, of this-elecHon-must be-deter-,
mined. *l;have' already said howit-lßgoingto be
determined. AbraStfm Lincoln, of Dlinols, and
' Andrew Johnson; of Tennessee, are to be the next
President and Yloe President of the United States.'
•That is the way. They will be supported, If not
by the whole people, yet by such a body of the peo
ple that the power of the Government will come
Into their hands. The people will ‘‘rally round
the flag.” They .wHI come to the rescue of their
Institutions. Grant’s army, Sherman’s army,
Sheridan's. army, will be ■ reinforced. : The re
sistless -march of the Union will prevail. Be*
ptlttoii witt -fail. ' State alter State will haul
'down (the rebel flag. Over State after State
will the old stars and stripes float once more,
resplendent In their original glory, until, at length,
over the-whole vast extent of the’Republic shall
again beseen the gorgeous: ensign of the > Repub* 1
lie, once more full high advanoed, its arms and tro
phies streaming in, their- original lustte, not a
stripeierasedor polluted, nor a single star obscured;
—boaringfor its motto no such miserable interroga
tory ds What is ail, this worth ? but everywhere,
spread all over in characters of living light, blazing
:, on alliits ample folds, as they float over the sea ana
. over the land, and in Overy wind" under the whole
heavens, that other sentiment, dear to every true

Thurlow Weed has written a letter to Hon. Abra
ham Wakomaa* from which we make the following
extracts’::. ...
Gen. McClellan is wholly Inexperienced In civil
duties, his-odacation and pursuitshaving been mili
tary. 1 This, though ever to be regretted, would be
peculiarly, a misfortune now, for as hißparty is con
stituted, he:would not be at libertyto form; a loyal
Cabinet: That Cabinet would hamper and embar
rass, if it did not control him. *:.;*-:* : *
--? Such, were Gen. McClellan President, would he
his condition. The disloyal element predominates
In his party. The Democratic United-States Sena
tors (with one exception), the leading journals, and
the representative men generally of jus party, are
committed, or committing themselves, to an armis
tice; and peace policy. •- He could not, therefore, move,
a step until he surrender! his Administration,to men ,
and t influences whose councils wo'uia work,out a.
peace sodiahonoring In terms, and ‘so disastrous in.
• effect,iasto occasion fresh ana interminable wars.
. The. objections to,General. McGlellan’s- election,
therefore, are to be'fdhhdV'lessltf himself, than in.
political-surroundings. Those are largely disloyal;
and it requires a higher-degree of moral courage
'than he possesfes.to. shake, themoff. The Influences,
which surround a President .usually shape,his ac
tion. iOfali our Presidents Gen. J aokson aionohid
the will to determine and pursue his own course—or;
in other words, “to take the responsibility,” 1 With
this'.KnowledgCrwe shquld.have nothing.out-evil he
' expect from Gen. McClellan’s election asUresident.
And deprecating, as I hayodone and do,.thß:“,ina-,

with others of their, stripe, in
even to escape such evils, fly to otheis.threatening
our country with the last and worst calamity.
Tho, Con vention whloh nominated Pendleton, and
placed McClellan on a platform .that, would, trip up
even Blondih, would, had,.the power resided In It,
have made ah ihßtaht peace, laglorlously recog
nizing the ConfederatuGoverhmpnt, and shivering'
this • Kepublic. into • fragments !.• Can we, after all
the sacrifices rebellion, has .occasioned, and when,
as we hope, these sacrifices are soon to be compen
sated: by the overthrow of oar enemies, submit to
such wrong and humiliation 1; If, as I assume, 1 we
cannot and will not so. 'dishonor our country; so de
frade ourselves, and so ontrage the jmemories of
hndreds of thousands who have written their de
votion to . the TJnion in-their own red blood, let us
vote tlio Peaco party'down.' Got ub not eonsign all
there is left of this pricolees Government and - pre

for an ignominious; shamefalpeaoe 1 , 1 upon tne best
httaihable termß,” whether theyoonspire-at Chicago
under Vallandigham andWood,"of in Canada
under Saunders ahd Greeley. ; 1 ‘
We know.that Mr. Lincoln Is loyal, persevering,
and devoted, andrthat he is doing all-he can do I
to conquer a peaoe.,, This is not oM we desire, but it
is vastly more than'wo should get"fromA/ Peace
Party. Administration, ’ * * ' * The boon of peace !
is only to be wooed and won by persistent valor.
Every truculent, sickly cry for-peace aggravates
and protracts - the war,, Until, by military: mastery
the rebellion Is subdued, we oan have ho peace on en
‘durable terms. White feathers at the North are more
.dangerous to -our,Government and Union than’the;
sabres and bayonets, of the South. In the aspect.
of war, our best and most eflectlve ..peace .com
missioners ' are' Tarragut 1 and Sherman;
'Hancock; 'and- Sheridan. - Meanwhile, the Admlnis-'
tration Itself should work out of its false -posi
tion and, by some unequivocal act or declaration,
solemnly, avow that the war Is prosecuted to main-:
tain the Government and restore the Union; and
that when mlsguldedStatesand peoples return to
their hllegiance the Angel ol Peace will revisit and
’bless our too severely ehaßtised,:conntry.>;* ! - *. .*t • .
■ Ih denouncing “ abolition,” as' I do now, and have
ever clone, allow me to guard against misconstrue*'
tlon. 'The old-Whlg party was ever and inflexibly
opposed .to.elavery extension and . aggression. But
-there was a broad -, and well-understood , distinction:
between the Whig opponents of slavery and the fa
natical Abolitionists. With the opponents of
slavery, led by John' Quincy Adams; I lived' and
laboreddn harmony, and with zeal.• But we were'
eternally opposed by the Blrney, Goodell, Garrison,-
and other fanatical Abolitionists, who, In elections,
so cast their “ third-party ” vote as to elect pro
slavery Governors, Congressmen, and Presidents,''
and, finally, by'defeating Mr. Clay, brought Texas
Into the Union as a slave State.
It-was this dread of ultra. Abolition,, embarrass
ing Mr, Lincoln in the pa'St, and threatening em
barrassment in the future, that induced me to hope
for a change of Administration. I believed that a
Democratic Fresldent,as earnest as Mr. Lincoln
.agalßßt’the rebellion; and exempted from the influ-:
cnees that have beset and badgered ‘htm 1 from the
beginning; could prosecute-the war more, success--’
fully; ancl. the fightlng over, would sflnd-himself,
less'encumbered, perplexed and.tormented,.during
the most difficult of all the duties of a "President—
the readjustment, df our disjointed machinery of
Government: 1
r 'The! responsibilities .of,the Administration have
c been, during Its four years of trial, so great, that the
Democratic party, had it been patriotic—oylf it had
even seemed to be bo—would have taken the Govern
ment.' Its disloyal State organizations finally cul«
n inated at Chicago, where the; right' way: was go
clear land , straight , that .only those were pre-v
vJously bent on pursuing the wrong, could mistake"
it. Nor, in seasons of common danger, is there any
difficulty in discriminating between patriotism and
disloyalty. In a.war which exhausts,their sub-'
stance and drinks their.blood, the people ,are never
- deceived. In such times theythlnb.and feel deeply.”'
instincts and impulses anticipate' argument® and
jumpjat conclusions. Now, as In 1812, a questionable .
patriotism .Is-vlrtually, admitted disloyalty. .;Now, r
as then, the political • barometer rises nr falls with,
the changing fortunes of our armies. Victories de*
press,while disasters encourage the opponents of the
Administration. . v,sv. - ...

Here Is an extract from a letter found lma re

the rebel army, late a’New York “ War Democrat,”-
to his ,friend Bishop, a Peace Democrat, of Beook.

“/Let me tell you, my dear boy, you may pray for
peace until hell freezes over—that is, peace with, the
restoration of the Union, and there will be no peaos.
Mars 'is: relentless, and Concordia is deaf. Thera
can he no peace until Black Republicans andAbo
lltionifts are silenced and reduced to an equality,
or, at least, a level with the niggers they claim as;
their equals. Let your Chicago Convention nomi
nate Mr. Davis for the Presidency—and I know a
majority of the delegates would vote for hiimffi they
dared—and on his eleotion you can and will have

genius, as the Northern press/would’ makeithe- peo.
pie believe they do, hut they believe him to»be what:
was once called a Northern man with Southern
principles.” . _ >
General John A. McClernand, whoso- military
integrity was questioned by Grant at the siege of
Yicksburg, has written a letter endorsing ,McClel
lan. He manages it In a droll and peculiar way :'
“ Thus agreeing with' Mm lu prlnclplopiai policy,;,
and; in party associations, for : me to- oppose him
would, in my judgment, be both inconsistent and
inexcusable. His distinguished and esteemed rival ;
will hardly expect It., This brief declaration seems
to be incapable of being misapprehended or mis-;
represented, yet, in order to avoidisuch-'a result, I
will add In negative terms that ! am opposed to any ~
' policy, that would compromise the unity or dignity
of the country for the sake of peace. • With, the olive
’branch in one hand'and the sword in the othor. let
,ns continue to smite the rebellion Alp. and thigh
i ndtil it sucoumbs to ,the Constitution and laws;
- hence-I absolutely and unqualifiedly,, dissent from
. all who would court peace on the basis of disunion, >
regardless of their party names and-professlons.”
General Rosecrans, who probably understands
the present condition of affairs as well as any man
in theiarmy, says: . ~,
“‘Whenever they (the rebels) iltave the power,
th ey drive' before them into their ranks the Southern
people as they would also drive ua' Trust them not.
-Were-they able’ they would invade and-.destroy ns
without meroy. Absolutely iasswrAd of these things, I
am amazed tkid any me could ihaik of ‘peace on any
terms.’ Be who entertains the' ientiment it Jit only to
be a slaves he who'utters it at thiatime.is, moreover, a
traitor, to his country, who deserves the scorn and con
tempt of all honorable men.”
James Russell Lowell; never penned a more
graphic or'wittier sentence than his; description of
the laie Democratic gathering at Chicago
“ The Convention, was a.rag-bag of /dissent. All
the odds and ends of pessonal discontent, every
shred of private grudge, every rag snipped off by
official shears, scraps of rebel; gray, the leavings of
Union blue—all; had been gathered, as if for the
tailoring of Joseph’s coat.” , , ,

and then tells the Chicago Peace party that he thinks

their movements were hurried by our dashing Con

At the time of writing, things are again quiet In
the-Valley-below us;butas “old Jube” Is again
trudging along after tbo foo, we -may look soon for ;
something stirring. The "enemy, we are quite

The Federal forces/ menacing?Ibis-front, retired
hastily on the 6th Inst., in the direction ?f Knoxville,
naEsing through Bull’s Gap.t gome three hundred
1 rcmatncd at Klngsport a day or two; but were 'run”
away; and our forces are nowin pursuit-. The great
est confusion marked their retreat!, They sent rear
nets for miles on both sides of the road, Informing
’"Union families that'they-must :leavetthe Country;
that they did not anticipate returning, again .until
Grant captured Richmond and. Petersburg t ~,; ,
Many rumors were In circulation In. their camps'
as fo 1 Hood’s "and Forrest’s movements In the rear
of Sherman. . John Netherland, one of the loading
Union men of the State, told his friends tn Rogers-.
- vllle that the Federal authorities, would- evacuate.
East Tennessee unless their suceesawas complete
In Virginia, and Sherman could hold Atlanta. The
leadingUnlonmen of the country ore gloomy and*
'despondent -under the movement of our troops In

Incident to the course-formerly /pursued: towards 1
such characters, has resulted In no understanding
as to the course to be pursued. The United States
commissioners refused to come to- any agreement
whatever, thus leaving the way open for wholesale
arrests.- Thus are lelt our Wends to suffer.
‘ This department, embracing the countiy. from
Chattanooga to .Dalton, thenceup the;North.Caro- ;

Jonesville, Vai; and the .Cumberland range, Is bat

The assignment of; Maicr- Geueral Breckinridge
to the command of the Bepartinent of Southwest
em Virginia and East Tennessee Is a source of no
small gratification/to tho,. people as well - as,the
a ™co‘ots, between-Kingsport and Cumberland Gap,

The Devastation o* the V Ani.av—Rstama-

the head of the editorial columns ; -
Sheridan reports to .Grant that, In moving down
the valley to Woodstock; he has burned, over two
thousand barns filled withwheat, hay; and farming
implements/ and over soventy mills fiUed with.flqur
ana wheat; ‘ -Sfila was done by order of Grant/ him
self, comman'flai oflall.the Yankee armies. Itis only;
-the execution in part of the order to destroy every-,
thing In tho. Valley that will sustain life. The fell
work is Btißgolng oik ‘Now/ it is an ldle waste of

been,-was withheld, and continues to he withheld
to thla’day. Why the Yankees oannot get hold of
it witliout onr assistance, we are unable to guess;
and why they have not got hold of It, If It really
exists,' is a-BtlUigreatcr mystery. Our opinion is
that they know.iufiy as much about It .as ,anybody,

pertinacity withwhich they labor for the rise Show-Ban'
amount of industry that, lfdirected in another way,
miitht be of immense service to the country. Gold
gambling has become of late a most disreputable trade,
and justly se, if ior no other reason than, the injury 4
is inflicting upon the Government. The men who are
engaged'in sending up the goliFpremlum only succeed
at the expense of discreditingAhe Government currency,
and every.dlßasmr,military or otherwise; is hailed by
them with great delight- as it is calculated to
enrich Heir own coffers. • 'What probably is most
to be deplored in connection with this matter, is;
that ' many of our own merchants should be
such valuable assistants to She Simon-pure specula
tors. hooking solely to gain.' and overlooking the duty
: of patriotism', these merchants are aboyeall interested
,in keeping up tbe price of ibeir - goods. So long as the
high gold premium is maintained that ohject ts secured,
