OHIO.

Our sdyices from various parts Of Ohio lead
us to spprebend the waste Of not less than Thirty
thousand Anti Nebraska votes on Allen Trmbe,
Nothing csbal at Cleveland expressly to defeat
SALMON p. CHASE the Republican candidate
This suicidal, criminal diversion has terminated
the hopes and reinyigorated the efforts of the
Pierce party, who are now making desperate
exertions to reelect their Governor, Medill, and
retain their Legislative ascendsncy in State Of
which the People are almost unanimously hos
tile to their leading principles and purposes.
The case lies in nutshell. SALMON z. CHASE,
the eminent Senator who has been ever with the
foremost in the unequal struggle against Douglas
and his corepudiatOrs of the Missouri Compact, IS
the Republican candidate for Governor, and will
poll between $50, 900 and zoe, 900 votes. William
Medill is the candidate of the Pierce and Douglas
Democracy, and whatever he nay say or suppress
on that subject his election will be hailed as TIL
umph by the Slavery Extensionists from Richmond
and Charleston to the Missouri frontier. The
Union will exult over it as the deathknell of
Slavery Restriction, and Atchson and Stringfel-
lows DULLES will regard il as the voice Of Ohio
settlers of Kansas The triumph of Niedil will be
virtually reputation by Ohio of the principles
and policy which repealed the yulture Slavery from
her cradle and made her Free State.
Now the supporters Of Trimble, though con-
seryative, are not favorable to the Extension of
Slavery. They believe the overthrow of the
Missouri compact grievous error AMI fragrant
II IL al
wrong which ought to be redressed. Yet every
vote they carry for Trimble is a vote taken from
,Chase-is half vote for Medill and for Doug
las. Suppose the aggregate should stand
Chase. 900 Medill 100000
Trmbe. ..49,OOO,
the great majority would hear nothing and know
nothing of the 5000 votes thus thrown away, or
of the actual anti Douglas majority of 10000 in
the State: they would hear only of the 5000 plu-
rality of Medill over Chase, which would be repre-
scented to them as the verdict Of Ohio against
Slavery Restriction and in favor Of the Nebraska
bill and its authors. Wings of Ohio can you JUS
tify to your own consciences any connivance at or
furtberance toward this result Look at Maine,
where the Douglasites, though 5000 behind the
Republicans and $4,000 below the Wings and Re-
puticans united are shouting over their victory
and reyeling in anticipation on its spols. VIII
you give them another such opportunity! Think
of the election Of 1914, and what we then thought
of those who persisted in throwing away their votes
on Birney. We said that they elected Polk AMI
put Texas and its Slavery upon US that they were
guilty before God of the crime oppression and car
nsge by that result rendered inevitable Do not
bring yourselves into the like condemnation.
True men Of Ohio be not lulled into mis-.
taken security The Cause needs your utmost
effort-ysur very last vote. You must organize
by Counties, by To Enships, BY School Districts,
so az to be sure that, whatever the weather may
be, your last voter viii present his ballot before
8 O'clock on Tuesday next. The North mus.
give heavier votes and msjOrisies than ever
before-the Miami Valley must respond with its
seuntifui thousands. Knox, Richlsnd, Stark
and Colambiana will not pile up majOiities as
they foim erly did; but we do not know what to
expect from Hamilton and Brown, Highland and
Auslaize. They may all 60 with Us, Is they did
last year; bat it Is safer to presume thst they
will not and act accordingly. Thsre is no fear
that our usjority will be too large; there |,
