made string bid for the votes of our
Southern partners. We are opposed TO the
further extension VI an institution so en-
tire!y repugnant to our ideas Of Rspubl
canism; and now that the issue is forced
directly upon US by the ambitious dema-
gogues who custer around the PIERcEsAdvs
IsiDislration. and preeussd the passage Of
the Nebraska Bill, We are 10. to be fright
ened frnm discharge of our duties by the
c:y OF seclionalisnl." abolilionism," and
"di>union. We hsgc not sought TO be
tic Grs,; We VIII not permit even the in
justice Of the South 10 drive us 10 the sec
ond; and we are determined. to the extent
of our abilities, TO prevent the last. We
desire to see the North use the power Il
possesses wisely and Justly; say is the
South. you have trampled upon a solemn
contract made between our fathers and
yours, and by fraud and violence now
seek To wrest from freedom lands consc-
Grated to it. We eiH not permit This
,erong.
Mr.. CHASE was not our choicein the Con
ven;ion, ,whichnonsinated him: but heis our
cIOjceas4ha contest now stands. We pre-
fer him TO- MI. MEDuL for a host ofreasons,
other than Ihe,one we. lpve mentioned.-
We desire tossce a, Ghahgefn In The manage
ment ofo State laffairai and we know Mr..
CuAsE more nearly, approaches our views
Of State policy than 'MrtiMEDILL. We
may be answered tia; the Republican tick
ct VIII be elected except tbe'head :and that
the Governorship is an important. matter
II We believe this, our love Of good faith
would not allow us TO act differently from
what we are doing; but we know the pow
er Of head in all organizations. The Gov
ernor has much influence for the veal or
woe Of our State, limited as are his pow
ers, rnd the defeat Of Mr.. CHASE, and the
election ofMr. MEDILL,even if the remain
der Of the Republican ticket is successful,
| will be serious want IN view of State re-
forms. We desire the success Of the entire
Republican State and county ticket, and
the defeat Of all on the Democratic Nebrss
ka ticket; and we see little show Of reason
on the part Of those who claim 10 be wings
not fossils, "and vet oppose Mr. CHASE.
Shape and twist them as we may the real
questions 1T Issue are. as.deelaration Of
principle on the part OF our .recP.e on ths
sutjectof slavery extension; just sys-
tenn oftaxatioE; reform in the management
of our public works, and a change in our
State policy generally. Mr.. Chase will aid
to accomplish these great necessities,--
r Mr., Medill to defeat them. Can We hesi-
tate for whom We shah vote? We ask
every one of our readers to ponder well be-
fore they throw their votes for hopeless
candidate, and thus aid in the success oI
! Mr. Medill, who is the embodiment Of The
present odious tax law. and who is now 4
, part and parcel of the present wreichedly
) managed State government. Medill oil
Chase is to be the next Governor of Ohio
whom do you choose? Shall we bow ouI
our heads in shame as Northern men, as
sane men, as business men, to crafty the
r splcnetic chagrin OF unwise counsellors
whose, heads are flill of conceit, if not o
l wisdom. We have too much reliance up
r on the intelligence aud common sense o
f the people Of OHIO. to suppose they will dc
r SO foolish thing.
