The Mass MEETING OF THE PEOPLE
We give in this number, a portion of the
meetings called by the American State
Central Committe to be addressed by
friends Of Gen. Trimble. But short
time intervenes till the election, and il
becomes all true men to work for the

ties should see to it that notice is given
to all their own people. Let the people
come up and hear. All the friends Of
Gen. Trimble ask, is fair hearing
We have all confidence in the justice
of our cause. The State will be
thoroughly canvassed before the cleo

ESCAPE OF TWO FEMALES FROM THE
PEEITENTIARY-La Last Sunday, Biddy
Fury and Margaret McMannu made
their escape from the Ohio Penitentiary,
in the following manner: By means Of

roof of the female department, and then
by attaching a web of muslin IN piece
Of iron fastened in the wall, they let
themselves down on the outside.
Margaret was sent up from this city
for one year, having been found guilty
of sta5bing with intent to kin. Biddy

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE, THAT
SALMON P. CHASE opposed an appropri-
alton for the exploration Of Africa, be-
cause the following amendment was of
fered: "For equipment, maintenance,
and supply of an expedition for the ex-
ploration Of the interior Of Africa, east
ward of Liberia, and the aseertaining
of the resources of that region, and for
the colonization of the free blacks in the
United States. to be expended under the
direction of the Secretary Of the Navy,

He opposed this amendment. because
it provided for the COLONIZATION OF OUR
FREE NEGROES. Let Colonizationists
look at this. Chase too much of an GbOli-
tiO'aist to support a colonization measure.

The CHASE ABOLITION MEETING
We were present on Saturday last at
the court house and gave S. P. Chase,
the king of the woolleys, full, fair and
candid hearing. We were determined
if there was anything in the man deser-
wing of praise, or any claims be might
set forth to entitle him to the support of
Wings or any decent, unprejudiced
man.. to give him full justice, as we have
done upon all occasions with others.
There were probably four hundred
persons present, and as this number is
enormous for an abolition meeting in
GalliPolis, It is necessary for us 70 classi-
fly them. There were about one hun
dred and fifty from Pomeroy. who char
tered a steamboat for the occasion,
composed of men, women and children;
about fifty Gallia county Wings and
Democrats, whose curiosity led them to
attend; and about two hundred Free
soilers, negroes and sbolitionists, head
ed by the redOu6table woolleys, Hol-
comb, Payne and Bingham-truly a
FAR more respectable gathering than
honored Chase two years since when
he addressed a motley crowd of aboli-
ton friends at Kyger in this county,
in support of his left bower Lewis, the
abolition candidate for Governor in op-
position to the Hon. Nelson Barrere, the
Wing candidate.
Mr.. Chase in height is of rather COM
manding personal appearance, strong,
grating, mill-saw voice, wandering, un-
steady eye, repulsive expression, and
to take in consideration his past politi-
cal life, on the whole stamps the behol-
der with an insincerity in the man for
anything he may advocate-aside from
his political advancement.
Chase commenced with clearing up
the old charge of bargain and sale by
which he became United States Sena-
tor. He denied utterly of having en-
tered into such bargain with the Demo-
Gratis or any otherparty, by which Pugh
and Pierce got seats in the Ohio Legis-
lature to the exclusion of Spencer and
Runyan, and appealed to Gen. Holcomb, |
who was seated near him and who was
member of the Legislature at the
time, to bear him out in the denial, but
as the General did not acquissce either
In word or gesture, we come TO the con-
clusion that Chase Uttered barefaced
falsehood or that Holcomb published |
lie as regards the bargain and sale at
the time in the columns of the Gallipo-
lis Journal. The General has fallen
as low as any mortal can fall, but he
had sufficient honor left not to be twis-
ted by Chase in this instance, for it was
too palpable to face his old friends
and acknowledge that publication to be
false. Mr.. G. then boldly challenged
the production of the original contract
in his hand sOriting. knowing full well
that the original copy had recently been
returned to his possession by Reed, the
present editor of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, who at the time was editor of
the State Journal and an uncompromi-
sing opponent to Chase, but now by a
no less creditable bargain we presume,
one of his warmest supporters. With
the original in his own possession, well
might Chase challenge the production
of the evidence Of his damning guilt
in this piece of political knavery, and

NThe steamship Ariel arrived at
New York on the 14th, bringing one
days hter news than that received by
the Africa. The N. Y. Tribune gives
the following synopsis of it:
"The Russian account of the Battle
of Traktir Bridge has come to hand.
1t is clear and concise. Prince Gort-
schakoff acknowledges his defeat, and
attributes his losses to excess of ardor
in the right column. He says: "The
enemy have driven back our attack, did
not dare take the offensive. despite its
numerical superiority" This last as
sertion varies somewhat from the tenor
of Gen. Simpsons despatch, wherein
it is stated that the Allies had only 15,-
600 men engaged. In letter from Paris
the correspondent of the London Times
asserts that Austria shows at least une-
quivocal signs of adhesion to the active
policy of the Allies. We must be per-
mitted to doubt any such thing. The
riots at Anglers, France, supposed at
first to have been caused by the high
price of bread, are now said to have
been instigated by politicians of the So
cialist school,"

WANTS 70 BACK Our.-The editor
of an old Wing country paper, who fell
into bad company by the Wayside. and
was SO unfortunate as to put Mr.. Chase's
name in his paper as candidate for Gov
ernor, was in town yesterday, consul
ting with his friends how he could get
out of his unfortunate predicament. To
sell out or back out, seemed to be the
only alternatives; but the low rates to
which Fusion stock had declined, made
the first impossible--pride was in the
way Of the second, and so he went home
sorrowing. but determined never to be
caught in such companionship again.
Gin. Columbian.
Wonder if the editor above alluded to
is not our woody friend ofthe Meigs Co.
Telegraph. We know he has been ex-
ceedingly anxious to sell the oil rat hole
which since the nomination of Chase,
has got into such bad repute that no
decent man will take the negro organ
off his hands. Had Thompson not
received the abolition nomination for
Representative we actually believe that
he would drop Chase and support the
old Highland Farmer" for Governor.
There are some good qualities about
Thompson, but develish sight of bad
ones, and were it not that he is such an
liar we would be glad
to have him in our ranks. We believe
he can beat A. T. Holcomb and give
him FIVE in the game. and if the devil is
the father of liars, Holcomb is the grand
father, and the only thing he ever was
known to be father of.
