fore, take position in favor Of constitute
onal liberty, and thorough State and Ma
tionaI reforms, and in favor Of the whole
Republican State ticket. That ticket will
be elected by majority more overwhelm-
ing even than the Republican majority of
last year, if we arc not greatly mistaken
in the signs Of the times.

The CoNvESTIeS. our columns to.
day will be found the proceedings of the
Fusion Convention. The report is con-
densed from the Ohio STATE Journal re-
ports.
For GovERSoR,
SALMON p. CHASE, Of Hamilton
county,
was nominated on the first ballot, by 80
majority. Our readers are already aware
that we were opposed to the nomination
Of Mr. Chase. We desired and ardenlly
hoped another name would be placed at
the head Of the ticket. Mr.. Chase had
clear majority over all opposition, and his
friends were not willing to compromise on
any other candidate There is no use
Disgusting the fact that the nomination of
Mr.. Chase is not acceptable to the people
of the Scoto Valley, and were there no
great issues to meet, his vote would be
small. But there are great issues which
viii bring to Mr.. Chasea, support which
he could not otherwise get.
From the Sidney Journal
The Republican Convention.
We publish to-day the proceedings of
this body, which convened at Columbus
on the 18th inst. We congratulate the
Republicans of Ohio on the harmony and
good feeling which prevailed during their
deliberations, and the excellent ticket pre-
sented by them for your support Per-
sonally we are well pleased with the selec-
ton, and will support the ticket with our
whole might, until victory shall perch
upon our banner"
1t is seldom that a less Objectionable set
of men are offered the people for their suf-
frages. They are all well and favorably
known, and are admirably qualified to fill
the Offices for which they are nominated,
and to which they will be elected by lar
f ger majorities than were ever before
known in the State of Ohio.
Mr. Chase, the nominee for Governor,
has Just retired for term in the United
, States Senate, where he signally distin-
guished himself as the champion of Free
dom in opposing the Nebraska swinde.
He was the man for the tines-the very
man of all men that Ohio should have had
{ there when Northern traitors and dough-
l faces were rampant in their schemes OF
: villainy. His frequent, manly and elo-
quent speeches did more for the cause than
e those of any other man in the State. For
D this, if no other reason, the Republicans
of Ohio should reward him by their undi-
g yiIed support, and show our enemies that
n true merit and exalted worth will not be
: forgotten by generous people.

TIE ANTI NEBRASKA NOMINATIONS. I'VE
place at the head of our columns this week
, the ticket nominated by the Convention oI
the 18th, pledging our best exertions to Sc
cure its success. AT the same time il
would oe idle to deny that the nominationo
: Mr.. Chase for Governor is far from being
C agreeable to our feelings or preferences
e In common, with large majority of the
a Wings, we have been compelled to enter
tain serious doubts Of the political integri
ty of that gentleman, and to differ from
: some of his views of public policy. But
o notwithstanding these objections, we re
Il gard it as our duty, under prescut circum
+ stances, to give him our support, Having
abored for Convention, of members o
all parties, on the avowed basis of laying
aside all individual preferences in order t'
=, secure union and harmony on the ont
: great question of the day, we feel bount
by its decision fairly and honorabIy made
= To acquiesce in the will of the majority
" fairly expressed, we regard as the vita
) principle of all Conventions, without whicl
!, they would be but a mockery and
4 farce.
