Extract of letter, dated

Extract Of letter, dated
COLUMBUS, ONO, July l3, 1855.
AS you are aware, deep interest has per-
vaded the State for long time, in reference to
whom should be the nominee for Governor.
Mr.. Chase has been the choice of those who
have desired to make opposition to Slavery the
naked and paramount question in the canvass,
so far as national questions were involved.
There was another large class in the State,
who, while they opposed the extension of Sla-
very and the admission Of any more slave
States, wished to select a candidate identified
with the Know Nothing Order, or less conspicu-
GUS as an earnest opponent OF Slavery and the
Slave Power, and not averse to national party
with Pro-Slavery wing.
: Look at the result. Mr.. Chase was nomina-
ted on the first ballot, after the most determined
and active opposition, by vote OF 225 out OF
500 votes, with two candidates running in OPP
position to him, and both popular and able
men and that, too, when it was clearly under
stood that he was not member of the Know
Nothing Order, or in favor of its distinguishing
doctrines.
Ohio has thus emphatically spoken against
Slavery, against political prescription, and In
favor of national party, without Pro-Slavery
wing.
The remainder of the ticket should be salts
factory to Anti-Slavery men. General Ford
was nominated for Lieutenant Governor. He
is known as the firm opposer of the Slave
Power in the Philadelphia Convention. Brink
erhoff was the unanimous nominee for long
term of Supreme Judge. The remainder of
the ticket was selected with wise reference to
