ciple which distinguishes the Wings as
a National and State party, and Join in
a hue and cry with hunters of every
political stripe. with only the pitiful
game before us that some of them may
be run into office. ~
9th. Resolved. That while we regard
Salmon P. Chase as even a more radi-
cal Democrat than his direct opponent,
with whose school Of politics we have
not the remotest sympathy--we also
object to him for the unprincipled acts
which inaugurated his public career
for the disgraceful legislative scenes of
that time, for which he is accountable;
for the pernicious notification principles
foreshadowed in the platform of the
Convention which nominated him, and
in Mr.. Chase's -response-striking at
the legislation and Judiciary of the Gen
eral Government, within their Constitu-
tional limits;-and because his previous
course has demonstrated him to be most
inconsistent in every respect save one,
an intent only on his own political exal-
tation.
9Th. Resolved, That the Wings Of
Ross county, having the utmost conf
dence in the patriotism. public worth
and private virtues of the Hon. JOHN
SCOTT HARRISON, of Hamilton
county, hereby recommend him as their
candidate for Governor of Ohio, at the
next election;-aS man of the purest
character, eminently capable, without
fear and without reproach.
10th. Resolved, That our Wing fel-
ow-citizens, throughout the State. be
and they are hereby requested to hold
meetings, and rally in party capacity,
preparatory to State Convention on or
about the 9Th of August prox., appoint
central committees and committees of
correspondence, and bestir themselves,
generally and particularly. in view of
the pending State and Presidential elec-
tions, as becomes party of principle
numbering nearly 100000 voters at the
latest trial Of strength.
The resolutions having been second
ed, Gen. J. T. Worthington, upon leave,
took the floor and moved to amend by
striking out all after the sixth resolu-
ton, speaking for some time in advoca-
cy of the election of Mr.. Chase. TIE
chair decided that Gen. WIS amend
ment was out Of order, inasmuch as the
meeting was called for the opponents of
Mr.. Chase, whereupon the proposed
amendment was withdrawn, and the
mover left the meeting.
Gen. ]. L. Taylor then addressed the
meeting. in speech of pith and mo-
ment, embracing great variety of sub
iects. He vindicated the National
Wing party from the attacks of its open
opposers and insidious enemies. He
showed that the present ''Fusion" move
ment, $50 called) in Ohio and other
non-slaveholding States, had its origin
in Washington, in the nursing Of the
most rabid disunionists in the country.
He supported the points made in the
above resolutions in every particular;
land concluded with an eloquent express
sion of his gratitude to the people of
this county and Congressional District,
whom he had served for eight years in
the National Legislature.
When Gen. T. had concluded,
