The old Wing papers of Ohio receive the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Chase with evident discomposure.
They have favored the Republican movement, and
are caught in the trap baited and set by them
selves Chase is thorough Democrat, and was
never suspected OF the least faint of Whiggery.
He has been immersed in Abolition, and this is his
claim to leadership of the fusion forces. But the
old Wings resent the nomination. They see that
their party is completely lost, and that they are
sold out to men whom they have always fought
against.
