THE AMERICAN PARTY OF OHIO-SOUND PRINCI-
PLEs-We noticed yesterday the immense con-
course Of the members and friends of the American
party in Cincinnati who, in response to published
call from nine hundred of their number, assembled
10 the Fifth street market space to decide whether
they would abide by the action of the Republican
State Convention which had nominated the Hon S.
P. Chase for Governor. They decided by acclama-
ton that they would not abide by that action and
announced a set of principles that placed them so
far as all future action is concerned side by side
with the American party Of the Southern States.
They manifested deep and powerful sentiment in
favor of the preservation OF the Union and the
maintenance of the guarantees of the constitution ;
and this sentiment, We have not the least Doubt
will spread and strengthen and become the active
and CONT oing sentiment of the great mass of the
American party of Ohio and carry the State when
ever..the issue shall be made at the polls.
The preamble and resolutions adopted by the
vast Know Nothing meeting at Cincinnati were as
follows:
Whereas, the Democratic State Convention of
the Sth of January last and the recent Convention
in Columbus, have failed to or recognize prir.
ciples which believe vital to the welfare Of the
Republic aud our State; therefore
RESOLVED, That continue to maintain as para.
mount in Importance, and never to be ignored the
well known principles of the American party,
among which is devotion TO the Union, and uneeas-
ing hostility TO Its enemies, be they the nUleTs OF
the South or the Aboitonsts Of the North.
ReSoEued, That while we consider the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise is wanton violation of
a sacred and time honored- compact, we are not
from resentment or any other impulse to be seduced
driven into the support Of ianatical men mea-
sures.
Resolved That we recognize in the very first
resolution of the Convention of the 18th instant
subtle and insdious aim the integrity of the Ma
tional Government, and the initiative of legislation
which will place the State of Ohio in antsgonsm to
the Union.
Resolved, That the avowal made in a resolution
of the Convention of the 18th instant to labor as
siduously not to secure the repeal of the Nebraska
and Kansas BILL but to render it void and nOpera-
tive, proclaims mode of opposition to the laws of
the land that can be sanctioned ouly by fanatics or
outlaws.
Resolred, That in the proceedings and resolutions
of the Convention OF the 18th instant and especi-
ally in the nomination of S. p. Chase for Governor,
and the resolution to appoint committee to con-
cert measures with reference to the Presidency, We
discover a design TO more efficiently organize an
aggressive, sectional party, with which it would be
direlict in US American citizens TO act or affiliate.
Resolved That we recommend TO the fiiends Of
the American party in Ohio, opposed to the candi-
dates for Governor now in nomination, TO meet in
mass convention at Columbus on the 9th day of
August.
Nothing sounder or more patriotic than this has
ever emanated from the North. And now, while
the members of the American party in the non
savehoding States are thus nobly fighting for great
national principles, let Kentucky aud Tennessee
encourage and strengthen them in the noble cause
by upholding bravely and gloriously the banner Of
the American party on the 9th of August. Can
they do lessi
