NOMINATION OF GOV. TRIMBLE RESOLUTIONS,

to thwat the movement and to bring into the Chase
ranks the thousands Of Know Nothings and old line
wings bitterly opposed TO his election.
IL is said that Tom Sp0Oner has been bnsily entyi
ged here for upwards OF week adddressnglette TO
all the Know Nothing council and prominent disaf-
fected men OF the State, urging them to the support
The executive conrmittee Of the Nnow Nothing or.
der has been in session, ind adopted series of
solutions repudiating the platform Of the National
Convention ut Philsdelphia.
The following resolution was adopted by the COM
mittee:--
Resolved That under existing circumstances deem
inexPedent to nominate State ticket for the APP
preaching election hu leave the matter each member
Of the order To vote his conscience and Judgment may
dictate.
This amounts to an emphatic assertion that the
Know Nothing order is In nowse responsible for
the nomination Of Chase.
Another resolution, which is evidently the work
OF Tom Spooncr. was adopted which gives Pap
Taylor and the Times the goby, and assuming the
position that the order Is not responsible for ts
SELF constituted organs. II reads rs follows =
Whereas Certain newspapers are constantly quoting
Paragraphs and sentiments from papers which they
elaige hs being organs, and thereby cnieayor
nahc us responsible for their sentiments be It. therefore,
Resolved, That the American order in Ohio has
organ and does not hold itself responsible for my sent
ments or principles, except those published the Sig
natures of officers Of the State Council.
We have seen larger assembages in Columbus on
the occasion Of conventions but. taking into con.
sIderatlon the briefness OF the call, and the undue
measures used to defeat IL, this convention was
large, and shortly before twelve o'clock the con

The President, on taking his seat, said he was
aware that the motives for which the convention
was called together would be perverted and distorted
and its memters termed disorganzers' Union
savers and dough-taces," which certain factions
delight TO stematize all those who do not bow down
before their rod He referred 10 the nomination OF
ChIse, and said 1t was the nomination Of man not
1T to be made. The people had not forgotten the
antcccdents OF Chase, and his election 10 Office some
years ago, which was brought about by corrupt
political combination. The speaker said there are
men IN Ohio who believe that the honor Of the Office
ought TO be conferred ON nn honest and honorable
man. The work for the nomination OF Chase had
been going on for months and it was done with a
view TO the uture-Iooking TO the Presidency. II
was move to divide the North and the South /; but
there was large portion OF the people OF Ohio who
would repudate the combination. They wanted
man to vote for who. when he .akes the oath Of oce
and sweaIs 10 support the Consultation, viii do it
without mental reservation.
On notion OF Mr.. l.. l.. Norton, II was
Resolved That committee he appointed to draft
iuiions for the action Of the Convention
The Chair appointed committee. and during its
absence, the Hon. VIM. Stanbefry was called for
and addressed the meeting. He commenced by say
ing that he did not come TO the Convention to make

and II the Convention concluded TO nominate d Gov

adyeIsares He (the spcaker) had lived In Ohio
fifty years. snd had come to the Convention 70 save
il possible, the State from being disgraced by an
abolition Governor. Slavery was established and
authorized by the government, and he fMr. Stan
berry, was not disposed 10 trcspass the constitu.
tiona rights Of the South. II slavery was an evil II
was an evil 10 the South and an unmtgated benefit
TO the North. The speaker then went into compa-
,%ton % " .he eAPois ana ,Iadc OF the Sonth ana
Nofth, oemohstfa'ihg that the North lved by the
labor Of the South, and the latter the source Of
the prosperity OF the former. His speech was To-
