In consequence of the recent development,
respecting the discovery Of valuable letters a.

Reputation of TrimbIe.

A! Irregular meeting of Walnut Hills Coun.
Gil No. $50, held Tuesday evening, September
llth, 1865, the following preamble and reso.
lutions were unanimously passed, and ordered
to be published:
WHEREAs, A Mass Convention, held in the
city Of Columbus. on the 9th day of August
last, nominated the Hon. Allen Trimble. as a
candidate for the Gubernatorial Office of the
State of Ohio. claiming that its action was in
consOnance with the feeling of the American
Order of the State, amt, indirectly, that it was
acting for that party;
And, WHEREAS. Certain papers and individ-
walls of the State have been aud still are labor
ing some directly, and others by subterfuge
and indirectly, to establish Mr.. Trimbles
claims as the nominee OF that party: There
fore.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Coun-
Gil the said Convention was not authorized to
speak for the American party, either directly
or indirectly, and that any assumption of pow
er so to do, was simp Y ridiculous and imper-
tinent.
Resolved, That the resolution of the State
Executive Committee of the American Order
for the State of Ohio, with whom the subject
OF nominations was left for decision passe
an the 9th day of last August, declaring that
under existing circumstances we deem it mex
pe0ient to nominate State ticket for the ap-
preaching election, but leave the matter for
each member ofthe Order to vote as his con-
science and judgement may dictate meets
with our hearty appreciation, and is the only
official action of the american Order on the
subject, and consequently Allen Tremble is
not the nominee Of the American Order, and
we protest against his name being used in that
connection.
Resolved, That we defy the right of any
public journal whatever. to place Mr.. Trim
bles name in such connection with the regu-
larly nominated ticket of the American Order,
as to convey to persons ignorant of the true
state of The case, an impression that he is en-
dorsed by said Order.
Resolved, That while we earnestly protest
against the irrational course pursued by some,
and deny that in any sense are they to be re-
garded as mouthpieces of the party, looking on
them as dangeroustU tU all harmony, and to the
strength, stability and existence of the Order,
dangerous men, more selfish than patriotic.

ican principles, and the welfare and best inter-
ests Of our country, to unite in hearty sup

that we recognize no public journal as the off.
