The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1855-08-01

"The chairman then put the resolutions
to vote. About Is yeas responded. The
nays were then called for, when about the
same number were very distinctly heard.
The chairman stated that he believed that
they were carried. All that voted "no"
were either Wings or Know Nothings.
Lewton then as "quick as lightning"
jumped up and moved that the meeting
adjourn, which was no sooner said than
done.
After they came out of doors, a prom
inent Know Nothing of this town made
motion that all those in favor of approx
ing the course of the delegates, and of
the nominations, will say al" Not one
was heard BE then said, all that was
opposed to it would say "no," when the
biggest "NO" was given that we have
ever heard in Cadiz."
In pursuance of previous call, a meeting
was held in Ross county, which the Advertiser
says was one of the largest ever held there, de-
claring against the Fusion ticket. Hon. John
L. Taylor, their lato member of Congress, and
Seneca w. Ely, were prominent among the
speakers.
One of their resolutions, the seventh de-
clares that the State nominations of the 18TH
were effected without the participation or con-
sent of the Wings of Ross, and shall not re-
ceive their support.
The eighth denounces Mr.. CHAsE's whole po-
litical career, and principles, and charges him
with entertaining nulli6caton principles, as
shown by the platform of the 18th, and by his
response to the nomination.
The ninth commends JOHN ScoTr HARRISON
in the very highest terms, for his public worth
and private virtues, and recommends him as
the Wing candidate for Governor OF. Ohio, at
the next election.
The tenth requests the Wings throughout
the State to hold meetings. and rally in a party
capacity, preparatory to State Convention on
or about the 9th of August next, and recurs to
to the fact that at the last trial of Whig
strength in Ohio, its numbers were nearly
L e000.
At the meeting held in Cincinnati, mentioned
by us last week, the Columbian states tina.
there were about four thousand persons present.
Judge johnson, familiarly called Booby Bill,'
who was the Wing candidate for Governor in
1850, and spoke in this place, made long
speech, dcnouncing the entire Fusion ticket.
The Judge said:-
In the. old Whig party he had fought
with Chase side by side as a Wing, and
thought the party treated Chase badly,
because they did not give him an Office.
The Judge then proceeded to view the po-
litical transformations of Chase, and said
he was not opposed to him because of his
qualifications, but because he was a man
of stratagcm, Of bargain and sale, and
who had sold his party before, and would
do it again. He (Chase) was man who
drove political bargains, and woull -.
that which every man of honesty or prin-
ciple knew should be the free gift Of free
people. Chase was the candidate of the
old school Old-Line- Dissolution Of the
Union-N Neck-or-nothing party. The con-
vention which nominated him was packed,
and humbug-G Giddings figured at the
head and Smith dangled at the tail. He
then demonstrated that Chase was the
nominee of party who favored the dis
solution of the Union, and the represent
atives of men more ultra and bitter in their
feelings than the nullifers of the South.
Chase was man of but one idea, and he
never knew a man of one idea who was
honest. 1t was impossible for narrow
minded bigot to be honest Chase looked
all over the world through a goose quill
and saw nothing but little niger dan.
Cling at the end of it.
The Judges speech was illustrated
throughout with many happy, witty and
sarcastic anecdotes and comparisons which
were heartily received. He poured 6
broadside into the Abolition factionists
and concluded by announcing his deter
mination to support the greater portion
. of the regular Democratic ticket.
The following are portion of the resolutions
adopted:
