Jusr LIKE tIIM.-BRMAN GATES, the
editor oe the Marieua INTEL gsncer, writing
to his paper from Athens, gives the following
biz of information Of an understanding be-
tween Salmon P. Chase end the LocoEoco
leaders OF The STATE, which we doubt not will
5e found corrsc, il The (acIs can only be
brough, TO light. Probably our friend Of the
Meigs County Democrat can throw some
light on the subjectl
Some four or fve weeks ago | remember
TO have heard, through gentleman who !
thought spoke "by The book" that there was
an understanding between Mr. Chase and
the L. F. leaders Of the Sla,e, that il he was
mol nominated by the Republican conven.
non, his name should lake the place Of Wm.
Medil's al The head Of the L, +. Iicket,-the
latter declining for that purpose, and an ami
slavery platform being adopted by the De.
mocracy. An emphatic and satisfactory de-
NAL Of the charge will Of course be expect
ed at an early period.
We clip the above from the GalliopOlis
Journal We heard the same sIury, previ-
Jus 10 the Convention; but instead Of giving
publicity 10 il Without ascerlaining its truth
we called on Mr.. Chase in Columbus, and
inquired Of him, in person, Of The truth or
falsehood Of the charge. He replied sha.
he had been approached on The subject: and
that hia answer was clear and explicit. lie

and would further bind himself never to asI

continue 10 oppose thsm. We further in
quired Of him ifhe would support The nom

thai his great object was TO unite the enIlr'

chesrfully sacrifice any personal claims i
secure such 4 union. He regretted sha
those who circulated these reports had no

present, and heard the conversation.
The case stands thus; When the Demo

A fewyesrs ago we listened to an argu-

Rev. Mr.. Fitch and Pres. Mahan. No mat

with argument, or met at every point with
difficulties, he always had one sure refuge

could rely in perfect safety; and which he
continually pressed upon the minds of his
hearers. 1t was the last clause Of the 10th
verse Of the l2th chapter Of Daniel: "And
none Of the Uicked shall understand: but
the WISE shall understand" Those who
believed his doctrines were wise and Of
course could understand the matter as he
did those who did not so understand it
were sOieked, and consequently could not
understand the Bible said so. He needed
no other proof of their sOicksdnsss than that
