Indignation Meeting i'm Cincinna.
fi---DOings of the Fusion Con- n
vcntiOn at Columbus Repudia.
ted.--Chase Rejected Another o
Platform. a
The attempt to unite the Free SOilers and
he Know Nothings upon CHASE as their
candidate for Governor, is likely to prove a :
allure. One of the factions is determined I
% repudate the contract, and as there is no
means of enforcing it either in law or equi.
ty, the other faction will be compelled to
bear the insult, or retaliate by counter-re.
pudiation.
Last week a Grand Mass Meeting Of
those opposed to CHASE, was held in Cincin-
natl. The number present was estimated
at from ten to fifteen thousand. Speeches
were made by Judge JOHNSON, Col. CHAM
BERs, DR.. NEWTON, E. P. NORTON Esq, and
others, in which they denounced in strong
clear terms, the action of the Columbus Con-
venton, and expressed their determination
neuer to support Chase under any circum-
stances. The Know Nothings and Wings
of Cincinnati will not favor his election
They would sooner give their votes for Me-
DILL. That it may be seen what are the
sentiments Of the Fusionists of that city, we
give below the resolutions passed at the
Mass Meeting above alluded to. Read
them:
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS, The Democratic State Conven-
ventioE, of the Stn ofJanuary last, and the
recent Convention in Columbus, have fail
ed to avow or recognize principles which we
believe vital TO the welfare of the Republic
and our State; therefore,
ReSolved, That we continue to maintain
as paramount in Importance, and never to be
ignored, all the well-known principles OF
the American party, among which IS deVo-
ton to the Union, and unceasing hostility to
its enemies, be they the nullifiers of the
South, or the aboitionists of the North.
| A Voice-"We don't play second fiddle
to any party
Resolped, That while we consider the re-.
peal of the Missouri Compromise as wan.
ton violation of a sacred and time honored
compact, we are not from resentment or any
other impulse to be seduced or driven into
the support Of fanatical men or measur-
eS.
Resolved, That we recognize in the first
resolution of the Convention of the 18th
inst, subtle and insidious aim at the integ-
ritv of the National Government, and the
;. initiative of legislation which will place the
State of Ohio in antagonism to the Uni
on.
Resolved, That the avowals made in the
resolutions of the 18th inst, to labor assidi-
: ouslv not to secure the repeal of the Me-
: braska and Kansas bill, but to render it volc
II and imperative, proclaims mode of oppo'
sition to the laws of the land that can bt
y sanctioned only by fanatics and outlaws.
T. Resolved, That in the proceedings and re
20 solutions ofthe Convention of the 18th inst.
g and especially in the nomination of Hon
If S. P. Chase for Governor, and the resolu
e ton to appoint Committee to concert mea
i, sures with reference to the Presidency, WI
discover design TO more etfectuallv organ
ize an aggressive, sectional party will
) which it would be derilict in us, as Amerl
IS can citizens, to act or affiliate.
Is Resolved, That the wants of the people
n imperous]y require an efficient Banking Sys
TEN, and a radical change in the taxation
laws of the State, and to secure these re
forms will be one great object of our politi
e cal action.
lie Resolved, That we recommend to In
!. friends of the American party in Ohio op
, posed to the Candidate for Governor now il
nomination, to meet in Mass Convention q
Columbus on the 9th day of August.
l. The foregoing resolutions are significant
e They give evidence of dissatisfaction in tn
re fusion camp which must ultimate in tn
n defeat of CHASE and the division of the oP
position ranks. Reckless as are some Q
the whig and Know Nothing leaders, the
is are yet unwilling to tie themselves down t
|. mere sectional party-dnwilIing to engag
" in an open crusade against the constitutio
& and government,
,. But the Fusionsts of Cincinnati are nc
the only ones dissatisfied with the proceed
IS ings ofthe 18th. They are moving in a
g most every part of the State. On the Sam
l. evening of the meeting at Cincinnati, tn
70 Know Nolhings made demonstration {
If Columbus equally significant. The city
Jv Hall was filled to overfowing and the e1
nj citement against CHASE was most intense.
