THE THIRTEENTH OF JULY CONVENTION.


This Convention which assembled in.Co-
lumbuS on The 18Th inst, was one OF the
grandest mixtures Of political isms that ever
assembled iuohio. But the dark shade of Abo-
litionism spread like a pail over the assembly,
and obscured from The light Of day every 9TH
er issue--not even "Sam" with his dark Ian
Tern was permitted 10 remain, but was kicked
out, and the question of Know NothingiSm
utterly ignored, and the notorious, arch Adolf
ZIONIST and DisunioniSt, SALMON P. CHASE, nom.
mated for Governor of Ohio, having a clean
majority Of forty on the first ballot. Whether
the "American'' or Know Nothing party, who
have been sadly disappointed at the result,
will be content to swallow, without choking
on the platform, this Northern factionist, time
alone will ;ell, but we presume from the low
grumbling heard from some Of their organs,
that they will utterly repudiate him, and
place in nomination a third candidate. All
the other candidates are of o similar political
stripe, and judging from the character Of The
~fanat;cai aspirant, who heads the column, can
the friends Of this glorious Union, support such
men, who, although they profess great friend
ship and love for the Constitution and its
laws, would trample it under foot and sing
paens of rejoicing over its broken and Gismem-
bered Fragments. Will you allow such men
10 wrest the reins Of government from the
hands OF The Democratic party, which has ad,
ministered it, with few exceptions, ever since
its foundation We cannot think you will
Then, in the language Of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, ,"now is the time for The true patriots
Of Ohio, OF whatever party, who are attached
to the Union, who are genuine Americans in
heart and soul,,and wish ever 10 be protected
by the folds of the Stor-spangled Banner to
rally for this coming campaign, and vote down
the Abolitionist and disUnionis', CHASE.
We must revive the old national, Conenen-
tai feeling Of 1916, and display the Union flag
from every hill top and valley in the State
The people must be warned Of the issues and
reused 10 action. The terrible calamity Of the
election of a man with such principles as
CHASE must, at all hazards, be averted. Nc
rec mouthed Abolition disunionis! must be al
lowed 10 fill the Gubernaloriol chair Of Ohio.
We have too great interests al stake in the
Union to admit for one moment the though;
Of lis dissolution, We are connected, by con.
sanguinity and interest, both 10 the North and
S nth; one portion Of our noble State is con-
nected with the great lakes and the seaboard,
the other with the Valley of the MiSsippi and
the Gulf Of Mexico.
1t is utterly impossible 10 estimate the ex.
tent Of the calamity, political and pecuniary,
that would come upon us if the Government
at Washington should be broken up, as il
would be if Chase's measures were carried
out. He can and will be beaten by a MAORI
~ OF thousands and tens Of thousands. The
Democracy en- maSSe, the old line Wings, Ma.
tional X. Ms and Union loving men vii
combine in one great mass, forgetting all dis
~tinction when the Union is in danger, and, from
the Ohio River 10 the great lakes they vii
charge the Abolitionists with q vigor and
spirit that will be irresistible, and lead TO
brilliant and annihilating national victory
Old Hamilton will lead the van. She will roll
up majority against the Abolition trio O.
CHASE, BLACKWELL and ScHoULER utterly un,
precedented in her annals.
