 mated by the Know Nothihss oi Ohio.
 Mir Thomas Spooner, of Cincinnati, who i tho fret executive officer of the order of know no4bings in Ohio has found it necessary to ad dross the members of the order in that State in reference to the nominations recently made bv their convention. It seems that there arc some refractory spirits in the order who do not like Chase--we don't know why, unless It be hecause of the democratic sentiments he for merlv northumberland to these he makes an appeal He says;
 uOne of inc largest and most respectable conventions ever held in the State Tn point of numbers. intellect and character, decided ma ioritv of which were members ot the Amerl- can party, clearly and fairly nominated that onntleman as the candidate of their choice for the cnbernatorial chair The rest of the tick et. if I am rightly informed, are not only mem bers of the American party, but especially ac- ceptable to it. and eminently qualified for the positions for which they have been selected What, then, is the duty and policy-for hold them identfed-of our order in view of this fact?"
 This is very satisfactory evidence that Chase is the "clearly and fairly nominated" candidate of the know nothings in Ohio for Governor.- MT. Spooner is equally clear and satisfactory in stating the reasons which induced that con- vention to make the nomination. Here they are
 ..Wbile it is a we'll established fact that the great body of the order in Ohio are opposed to any intermeddlng with the peculiar rinstitutions of the slave States, 1t IS equally certain that they are decidedly and earnestly opposed to all extension of slave territory. The Kanzas and Nebraska outrages have so intensified this feel ing that it were idle to attempt to disguise the fact that at this time it is the predominant question of the north, overriding all others.
 Mir. Chase, having manfully stood up in the Senate, during the whole term of his cleo tion, in opposition to the encroachment of the slave power, and especially distinguished him. self by his determined resistance to the Kansas and Nebraska bill, seemed especially fitted for the person through whom significant rebuke should be administered to the perpetrators of that great iniquity, and in this Is to be found the secret of the nomination Of Mr. Chase by a convention composed of decided majority holding opposite views on both questions.
 We make the above extracts for the benefit
  idea that great national party can be formed upon a basis, miscalled AmerSca7a, that will con- trol the destinies of this republic for good.- The experiment will fail. There is no nation al party in this country but the democratic par ty It has preserved the Union thus far, and at mems to perpetuate at.
 In illustration of this subject, we republish the following admirable article from the Day ton, (O) Empire, sound and able democratic journal:
 TO THIS COMPLEXION HAS IT COME AT LAST.
 The great question to be decided in the ap- preaching political contest is this: Is Ohio to De thoroughly abolitionfzed and to take her place by the side of Massachusetts m Me vitual repu- diation of the Union?
 The fusion party in the nomination for Go- vernon, of Salmon P. Chase, the most prom- nent as well as the ablest aboltionist Ohio ev- CT produced has made Mis the issue to be tried
 If the platform means anything else than this the nomination of MT. Chase, al the insti- gation of Joshua R. Giddings stamps it as base fraud.
 The time is past for hoodwinking the people by spacious resolutions, conceded in duplicity, and hung along in a string like baits on a trout line to catch the simple. The acts Cf party constitute the hUing, talking facts by which it must be judged.
 It may be an unwelcome truth to some but it is nevertheless indisputable that Joshua R Giddngs is the self constituted and conceded leader of the motley host, now gathering under the black banner of the fusion party in Ohio His bearing in the convention was that of an exultant master spirit confident of the success of his plans and the triumphant fruiton of his II, ol- of +la Chase was the king he made. He was dom- ineeerng Doctor of the convention, and held the unsteady patient, close between his iron knees, as in vice. till he completed is inocu- lation with the natural pock of abolition in its most aggravated state. He dragooned the tim i'd, lashed the refractory, wheedled the design ing, and scowled defiance and contempt upon the violent but harmless rawlings of poor disap- pointed and broken backed Sam" He baited the silver greys with the deluSive prospect of an office or two, wilted with his whitening sar- casm the wayering moderates, who offered to his savage, meat-craving appetite their sucking bottles with its milk for babes,' and mingled his exultations with those of the renegade and wind-b broken political hacks, Rufus P. Spading and Jacob Brinkerhof over prostrate oppos- ton whose feeble struggles he had paralysed with his audacity.
 Such is the leader who is now summoning to swell his ranks with the scattered battalions of that once gallant party in Ohio, who but a few years since were rallied by the clarion voice of Henry Clay. How many of those disbanded, but unconIuered soldiers will now insult the memory of their dead champion, by enrolling themselves under the black banner of his viving traducer?
 Let the issue then be fairly made and met.
 It is not Nebraska and anti IN ebraska, it is not free-soil and anti-free soil, nor is it bank and and ant-bank; it is simply, solely, and purely, unadulterated abolition on the one side, with all it's fearful consequences, and upon the other fidelity to those principles and compromises of the constitution to which we already owe so much, and upon which depend the peace and harmony of the country, and the perpetuity of tho Endnrnl ITr;nn
