FINE APPLEs.-We received six ap-
pies from Mrs. LOUISA G. MoRRIsoN,
last week, the largest of which weighed
13 ounces, and measured twelve inches
in circumference. The six weighed four
pounds and seven ounces. They were
Rome Beauties, and most richly deserv-
ed the name. Can they be beat in the
county?

Kyoy, Ohio. Aug. LIST. 1855.

Mr.. JznEs HARPzs-Sir: In the editorial
department Of the Gallipolis journal, of July
18th, Won charge the Republican candidate for
Governor, Hon. s. P. Chase, with being ga
yed-moutked L0cet6co abolition disuniolist."
Now, SIR, fouier calumny was never pub
lished upon any man.
You afe challenged to show q single speech
or actin the political life of Mr.. Chase that has
the slightest tendency to disunion. And as
for his being an abolitionist. he has never
went farther in his opposition to Slavery, than
did the Northern portion of both the Whig
and Democratic parties in the election cam
paign of ls46. Both Of these parties, in that
campaign, pledged themselves, throughout the
entire north, to preserve the freedom of the
newly organized Territories; pledged them
selves TO see that the principles of the WilmOt
Proviso were applied to the governments to be
framed therein. But it is true that many OF
the Northern members of Congress, elected
that year, basely bstrayed their constituents;
and violated every pledge by which tney nelo
their seats IL. Congress, as many horuhe,h
members have since done, IN SUSTAINING the
Nebraska swindle, for which oaseness tney
have mostly found their PolItlca! graves
While Mr., Chase, during ms ponucal career,
has sirnnly endeavored to carry out those very
,osssnres which all political parties in the
Moth profess to be in favor Of, he has not been
fr;gbteued from his duty by Southern threats
md Southern arrogance. 1t is this political
integrity of Mr.. Chase, which we suppose is
his damning sin in your eyes.
Every man, it seems, is to be stigmatized as
an %abolitionist," by such servile journalists
As you, who are not willing to deceive their
constituents for the purpose of supporting the
1verbearing tyranny Of a few Negro trading
politicians of the South.
We do not choose longer to support paper
which so recklessly. disregards all principles
If truth and honor; you viii, therefore, please !
strike our names from the list of your subscri-
)ers.

Why should a man,

ton disuDionist." Why should a man.
whs is not one or the other of these,
cast his vote for him; and least of all,
why should those who have heretofore
acted with the Wing party in Ohio,
vote for one whom they have seen and
known for years to be their most perse-
vering opponent-their most reckless
and living calumniator-this selfish trait
or to honesty and his country? Salmon
P. Chase is the fit leader and repre-
sentative of those who are marshaled
under the sooty flag of abolition and dis
union. With them we have No senti-
ment in common-for them and their
leader no feeling but loathing and dis
gust.

NOMINATION OF Ex- GOVERNOR ALLEN
TRrMsLE. OF HIGHLAND CoUNrY.-The
American. Convention that assembled at
Columbus on Thursday last, was large
ly attended by "those who love their
country, and who desire to stop the cor
rupions which have too long disgraced
the administration of public affairs. +"
To avert the disgrace the State of Ohio
has sustained by the nomination of Sal
mon P. Chase for the Office of Cover
nor. and to guard against the everlast-
ing stigmy that would result by the cleo
ton of this abolition disuniouist, the
friends of good order and government
assembled on the 9th inst. land nominated
the Hon. ALLEN TRIMBLE, of High
land county, for Governor. He was a
'favorite Governor of our State In times
when a thought of disunion was alb
horred as crime; man Of lofty per-
sonal character, and strong and manly
intellect The dark clouds of disunion
that hang threatningly over this State
will soon disappear before brilliant
light that will ere long bedazzle the
eyes of the woolly-heads and illumine
our path to victery.
The Hon. ALLEN TRIMBLE shall re-
ceive our hearty support. He has led
us to victory in times past, and taking
view of the forlorn hope of woolly-
heads on the one hand. and the rule or
ruin party on the other, with the old
Highland Chief at the head of our col !
umn, we are certain to triumph.
The convention made but the one
nomination, and we presume adopted
the balance of the Republican ticket,
although nothing of the kind is men
toned in the proceedings.

AMERICAN STATE CONVENTION AT
COLUMBUS.
The Righ kind Of Rssoln6ons-iSan
going to scOrk IN earnest
The Mass Convention Of those op-
posed to the election of Chase or Medill
to the Office Of Governor, was held al
Columbus on the 9th. 1t was held in
the City Hall.
Though the large Hall was crowded,
the attendance from different portions
of the State was not as large as was ex.
pected. The declination of the Hon. J.
Scott Harrison on the eve Of the meet
ing of the Convention, gave out the i'm
preston that no nomination would be
made, and deferred many from attend
ing. Those who were present, howeV,
er, were full of energy and enthusiasm,
We are sure We are right, and are GO
ing ahead, was the evident determins-
ton of those who composed the meet
ing.
In the early part of the morning the
Old Liners and the American traitors
at Columbus, wore smiling faces, and
in the most happy manner declared that
the Convention would be magnificent
fzzle. The first appearance of the as
sembled Convention, however, cast a
gloomy shade over their countenances,
and the enthusiastic spirit and full de-
termination afterward manifested, gave
the Old Liners and American traders in
wool, touch of the gripes.
At III O'Clock, after a national air
BY the Continental Brass Band, of Gin
cinnati,
Mr.. Ware, of Hamilton, called the
Convention to order, by putting in nom-
ination for Chairman, Ired Kelley, Esq,
of Cuyahoga county. The nomination
was unanimously confirmed, and Mr..
Kelley was greeted with applause as he
ascended the platform.
On taking the chair Mr.. Kelley said
-"Gentlemen, l understand this meet
ing to be mass Convention, called for
the purpose of nominating an honest
man for Governor. (Cheers.) 1t IS
an assemblage of those who love their
country-the whole country; lap
plause, and who desire, if possible, to
stop the corruptions which have too long
disgraced the administration of public
affairs. (Applause.) You viii pro-
ceed, gentlemen, to select such other
officers as you may deem proper"

Hamilton county; ]. A. Trimble, Of
Highland; E. E. HutchinsonAof Madi-
son; N. L. Hatcher, of Belmont; G. S.
Bennett, of Knox.
On motion, the Convention took re-
cess until 81 o'clock; and after the
Continentals had favored the people
with the national airs, they dispersed for
dinner.

toned in the proceedings.
~The assemblage at the court
house on Saturday afternoon was small,
probably not exceeding thirty persons,
Gen. Holcomb was mild and gentle be-
yond expectation. Not one expression
fell from his pure lips about Galhpolis
corruption, indeed the General had COM
pletely exhausted the subject and him
self at Kyger, IN driving it into the
six wooHy-heads, and his whole effort
was to white-wssh Chase and give him
an appearance of responsibility. He
declared with all the emphasis that was
in him, that Salmon P. Chase was not
an abolitionist, and casting his eyes over
the assembly and seeing no expression
of surprise from any one, concluded his
assertion was believed by those present,
when indeed it was thought so ridicu-
lous, coming as it did from the General,
that little attention was paid to it. The
General can assert what he pleases in
Gallipolis and it's all right.
After the general had said everything
he could think of in favor of Chase, he
squatted, when A. CUSHING, Esq, arose
and gave him terrible drubbing. The
general stood it as long as he could and
finally sneaked from the court house.
and the last seen of him he was making
tracks for Vinton, with a little darkey
along side of him. Of course the abo-
litionists in Porter, through which he
passed, believed the general was prac-
tieing what he had preached, and was
actually running off slave-but such
is not the case. We do not accuse the
general of eowardice, but we are GER
tain he would never enter slave terrific
ry, however anxious he may be to abol-
ish what the constitution sanctions. He
is too smart for that; he would sooner
have polypus in his nose or a fstula
anywhere rather than enter slave terri
tory.
Well, the general has retired to the
shades of Vinton, satisfied with his tour.
Every place he spoke, except here, he
had something to say about Gallipolis
corruption. In his opinion there is but
one pure, uncontaminated spot in GaIlia
county, and that is-Yinton-the resi-
denee of A. T. Holcombl and conse-
quently Vinton and no place else mast
