The State Convention which assembled al
Columbus on the 18Th, must be classed as
among the extraordinary political conventions
of the day, whether considered in reference 10
numbers or enthusiasm. 1t W a VIEW large

of "outsiders" 10 aid in accomplishing what
ever could be done by ''pressure." The en-

the Convention referred 10, Ientto Columbus

Chase, With them this was the zone idea,' 10
which every other was held SubServient. 1t
was decreed that Chase should be the candi.
date for Governor, whether the nomination pro-
duced harmony or discord. Adhesion to Chase
was held TO be the only test Of The new 'repub-
licanism' as exnounded by Joshua R. Giddings
aud men Of that ilk. The new born republi-
can party must be baptized in the name Of
Chase, or it coult 10y no claim 10 legitimate
parentoge.
With this intolerant pirit so plainly devol.
Oped, and SO obstinately aGlere TO, it was not,
of course, to be expected that harmony could
result. 1t was in vain that efforts were made
10 convince the friends Of Chase that he was
not the man on whom the opposition could cor

position. They controlled a majority Of the
votes in the cOnven,lon-the power was in their

awe confess that We Lave a strong aversion
10 Chase under any circumsla nces. He is not
a man 10 our liking; nor ale we alone IN this
feeling. OF The on 'sideIs al Columbus al least

avowed their dete animation 10 withhold their
votes from him. The feeling in Hamilton,
Ross, Fairfield, Butler, Licking, franklin,
Miami, Clark, Pickaway and other counties
are strongly against him. The Americans will
hold a State Convention al Columbus OH the
18Th Of August, al which time the party will

we make the following extract:
