political preferment, will do it again
for whatever party is the most powerful
for either chair in the Senate, or White
house.
Mr.. johnson remarked, that Mr..
Chase's course in the Senate, was like
almost everybody's else-he neither
spoke nor acted better than other pee
pie. He thought Scott Harrison, equal
ly as good a man as Chase. He was
in favor of no man who drove political
bargains for the purpose of acquiring
power and place-thoy both should be
the free gift of the people. He then
spoke of the mode and manner of Mr..
Chase nomination-it was we'll known.
he said chat the Convention, was a pack
ed Convention-and was not n fair ex-
preston of public sentiment-and that
although Hamilton County gave a ma
jority for him in that Convention, it was
more than she would do on the day Of
election.
But who, he asked, were the men who
nominated Chase Why Joshua r.
Giddings and old Ned Smith, and a few
others who make war upon the Union of
our countrywide wish to dissolve the
Union, who are for neck or nothing
tro old arch humbugs, Joshua II. Gid
dirgs and the Rev. Ned Smith-the one
at the head, and the other dangling at
the tail, they came to the Convention as
dictatorial as the Pope of Rome, and
claimed the lions share. He then re-
lated the fable of the Lion and the 9TH
or beasts grand hunting excursion, end
thought the lions conduct upon that
memorable occasion, but a counterpart
of he conduct of Giddings and Smith at
the Convention on the 18th this was
I reason why he couldn't go for Sal
mon p. Chase; he had not been nomi-
mated By the people.
Another reason he could not swallow
the nomination was, that the organ of
Giddings repudiated Jacob Brinkerkof
before the Convention was held, and
sent Chase aud now he would inquire
why this was done He would state the
reason. Brinkerhof was a Know Moth
ing, and every member of that order,
according to the creed, is bound to sup
pert the Union at all hazards Three
cheers were given for Briukerhof
The reason, therefore, the speaker
why IN Cl1lCINC hdS gwen W
Chase, was because it was thought he
would be reckless of the Union of the
States. If Brinkerhoff was pat down
because lie was in favor Of the Union of
the States, for what was Mr.. Chase put
up
He then spoke of the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromises, and expressed
himself decidedly in favor of the repeal
of the Nebraska and Kansas bill-so
much, particularly, as allowed slavery to
enter the territories. He her came
down on notification in geceral-quo-

DR.. r. S. Newton being called for,
next took the stand. He favored the
resolutions first sabsAitted to the meet
ing. He cames Forward, and he spoke
as a member of the-American party
