During the three years of bie administration of the Harwys, Mr. Chase took some steps at which the fanniers of Europe were astonishod, but they were justiked at last by their amazear.. He found the credit of the country low, and the Treasury emply gand | brezosed in watoiing both. The North was resolved on the vigorous prosecution of the war, te motto wes, The Union at all costa, and it found zu Æ1. Clase a financier who was able to raise all tho money is needed. While Ble.

As the inventor of greenbacks," as the legal tender dotes are still called, and the creator of the seven-thirty Treasury notes and the five-Sundrica. twenty bonds, he began the roz era of Arieri- c financo-the ew of indebtedicas."

It is almost superilous to say that, in a land where there is scarcely any such thing as an hereditary training to statesmanship, Mr. Chano was in any respoets a self-made man, though not as Mr. Lincola and Hv.

In a few years he became known for his eloquent defence of some fugitive slaves, and flat assertion of the unovushita- tional character of the laws which authoriso arresta in the Northern States, out of which the whole struggle eveainally grow. In 1886 he was associated with Mr. Seward as counsel for the defendant inthe celebrated case! of Von Zand, before the.Supreme Court. He was already in politics, and was known at an active, and orou leading member of the Na. vional Liberty party of those days. He was, in fact, one of the founders and the most eloqneut and devoted advocates of the Free Soil party, whose foal trimph in the election of Mr. Lincoln broke the domination of the South over the North, and daove the Stare States into ra bellion.
