H9-The Daily Evening Union, and pol
iticians and prints of like ilk, persist in
their misrepresentation of the late out
RACES in Louisville. Being determined, if
possible, contrary to all truth and good
evidence, to shift the odium Of such out
RACES off their own shoulders and that of
their foreign protoges, upon the "Know-
Nothings," as they call them. One thing
is apparent, however, in all their stories
and publications, that the testimony given
by them is by witnesses determined to
make case against the Americans, But
like the Jackass which may cover his en-
tire body, SO long as the ears stick out, or
the animal will bray, his identity will be
detected.
We are led again to notice those base
SANDERS, by an article which appeared in
the "Union" of Monday evening. The
Editor therein parades letter purporting
to have been written to the N. Y. Tribune.
by one "John l. Black" Whether the
man is black or white, one thing is evident
by tho tone of the letter, that he is bitter
" opposed to the Know-Nothings. But
with all his hatred, he is constrained tt
say "h is generally admitted, 1 be'seos
that the first shot was fired by The Irish. ,
Ttrs, if John l. Black is entitled to b
believed, his testimony is that the first sho
,cas frcdb the Irish. We would merel,
advise the Union, that if it and its part
leaders and newspapers would spend hal
the effort in behalf of sound democratl
principles, that they make in exciting tn
foreigners against the native Americans
our cities would not be cursed with sue
outrageous mobs, and our citizens murdel
ed, as has recently been the case in Loui
vile, Columbus, Cincinnati, &c. In thu
irstigating our Irish and German citizer
n to carry arms, and do murder, the Dem'
cratic party-its editors and orators, wi
y have terrible amount Of murder to al
# swer for.

Allen Trimble not an American. >

Allen ITlWDl6 uVL OH AhCA Aes'N'
In his letter of the 11th inst, to the
committee, accepting the nomination for
Governor, of the faction which recently
met in Columbus and nominated him, Gov.
Trimble uses the following words =
"The nomination has been made with
out any consultation with mo, or the knowl-
edge or consent of any person authorized
to speak in my behalf; against my own
personal wishes, and with the full knowl.
edge.on the part of the Convention that !
,oas not a number cfths party represented
By Mem."
As that Convention PRETENDED to be
"a mass Convention of the American cause
in Ohio" it appears from the above ex'
tract that Gov. Trimble does not belong
to the "Amcrican" party. All this the
more convinces us, that the Convention
was held and Gov. Trimble nominated
probably at the instigation of the admins
tration party, for the purpose of defeating
the election of the 18th July ticket. Sure
| ly no "American" will lend himself Il
any such trick.

GOV. ALLEN TRIMBLE.

At the head of a State Ticket publish
ed in several papers in the State, stands
the name of Gov. Trimble, as candidate
for Governor Of Ohio. In the name Of
reason and common sense, what practical
advantage is to be derived to any human
being upon the face Of Gods earth by
such procedure? Are the leaders in this
disorganizing move so perfectly eutopian
in their views, as to suppose that under
existing circumstances, the old gentleman
will be able to procure vote which will
be creditable either to himself or to the
party he processes to represent Every
man in the State knows that he is not the
American candidate, but merely the rep
resentativc of few dissafected, pro-sla-
very men in the Southern part of the State.
In our opinion, it is an act Of palpable
personal injustice to the old gentleman,
thus to bring him before the people in the
last half hour of his life, with prospect
of not receiving five thousand votes in the
State. Il he bad not been in his dotagt
he most certainly never would have liver
his consent to be thus used by few mel

opponents of Mr.. Chase and who desir

protest against such cruelty. tits unkind
and ungrateful. Mr.. Trimble came owe
from Kentucky, and made his hom
amongst us in his declining years-mor
than thirty years ago-ho has always sus
tanned the character Of a law-abiding cit
i zen. He ought not, therefore, to be dis
: graced in his last moments, but should b
permitted to depart with character whic
/ he has justly earned.
il There is another fact which shows tn
y extreme weakness of this conception
it While such project will be notifying

The MoNoMANIA. AN EXPLANA-
r1oN.-A few months since considerable
talk prevailed about the large and extrav-
agant bills for furniture for the new State
Lunatic Asylum at Dayton. The cause
for this is beginning to be apparent. 1t
must be borne in mind that those institu.
tions are under the control of men belong
ing to the bunker democracy. 1t is ap-
parent by their papers and speeches, that
the vast majority of the Editors and lead,
ers of that party, are suffering under Sc
we're attacks of Know Nothing monamania.
If the disease should continue to rage
among that class, through the dog-days,
as is now most probable, it is feared that
after the Second Tuesday Of October next,
those unfortunates will be safe only in the
keeping of our Lunatic Asylums. Hence
the forethought of MIR. Lowe, in providing
elegant furniture for his political friends
especially as the expense came Oft the
State. What sagacity was evinced by that
party in providing two institutions!
We hope these explanations will satisfy
our tax burdcned friends, when they come
to pay those furniture bills. Politicians
who expect to be supported by the public
if they cannot be elected to an Office, Gas
no bunker democrat will be this fall,) will
find good Accommodations at the public IN

CAUTIoN.-In order to avoid confound-
ing two distinct and different bodies, it
would be well for the Herald Of this city
to distinguish properly between what 1T
calls the "American State Committee, and
the Executive State Council" The first
represents the doings of a self constituted
and disorderly faction. The last is the
only authorized body to call State Con
venlion of the American party. 1t wai

For the True American.


Mr.. RAGAN:-In your "True Ameri-
can" of this date, l find the following:
"NR. RAGAN.-Please announce the
name of A. L. Frazer, of Steubenville, as
a suitable person to represent Jefferson Go.
in the State Legislature. Subject to the
nomination of the American party, and
oblige, MANY VoTERs."
The above notice is Aattering, as it was
wholly unsolicited and unexpected on my
part. But I would say to "Many Voters" "
that my name having been submitted to
the 18th July State Convention, for NOM
ination to an Office which was desirable to
me because of its close relationship to my
profession, as Civil Engineer. lido now
sincerely object to any appearance on my
part, Of being politician ly trade. For
this reason do not consider myself as o
candidate for any Office, subject to the
nomination Of any party. It's true, were
I solicitious for political honors, there is
no appointment within the gift Of the peo
pie of Jefferson County, with which
should feel more honored than that o.
Representative in the State Legislature
But my friends may be assured, whether
in public OR in private life, I shall eve
feel it my duty and privilege as citizel
to use my ability and influence in favor Of
Liberty and Reform.

A NEW DODGE.

Some of the old line Democratic papers
arepublshing quotations from Mr.. 0hase's
writings, by which they endeavOr to prove
that Mr.. Chase, in 1851, vas as good a
Democrat as any of them.
It has been apparent throughout the
contest, SO far, that the bunker Democrats
and Office holders, have felt the folly of
cOntending against the great odds of the
mass of the people, now fully aroused to
action against hunkerdOm and prO-slavery'
ism, But we confess that We were not
wholly prepared for the present dodge, If
it is true, that the hunkers are thus now
endorsing and applaudiag Mr.. Chase, pre-
paratory to their yielding him their entire
support, and consequently dropping Col,
'Medill, We protest against such shabby
treatment of Col. NJ. Besides we do not
like the idea of being cheated out of an
opponent. The relish of the contest
would loose all its tartness. There is no
doubt but that Chase, and the 18th July
ticket, will sweep the State by unprece-
dented majorities; but still, we want the
name of opposition, if it takes Medill and
Trimble both, to make even one horse
team. We hope the leaders Of the ad-
miuistration party will hold to their Gov
ernor, as they would to a runaway slave.
Chase will be supported and triumphantly
elected by the mass of tree men of Ohio.
