Chase on the New Departure.
The following letter from Chief Justice Chase shows about how far a political toad can hop. Extremes never met more beautifully than in S. P. Chase:
WASHINGTON, May 20.
Hon. C. L. Vallandigham:—My Dear Sir:
I have just read the resolutions of the Montgomery county (Ohio) Democratic Convention, reported by yourself, together with your remarks and those of Mr. Hank. You have rendered a great service to your country and party—at least such is my judgment. May God bless you for it.
Nothing can be truer than your declaration that the movement contemplated by the resolutions is the restoration of the Democratic party to its ancient platform of progress and reform. I know you too well to doubt your courage on, or your fidelity to, your convictions.
Very truly yours,
S. P. CHASE
