How the New Nomination Takes.
? The Hugiia County RepuJlican, in no.
ticing The late mass meeting" at Colum-
bus, says: u.
In this vicinity the "Sag NIGHTS" exhib-
ited more anxiety ,aboutlthe Convention &
its proceedings than anybody else. For
instance, the handbills were received and
distributed by some Of the leading mem
bers of that organization. We guess they
hive found out, before this, that their eff
forts to secure a delegation from Hardin
did not pay. rs l5.s-
We do not believe that the new candi-
date will receive ten votes in the county
In fact we are certain Of it. Salmon P.
Chase will command the united vote ofthe
Republican and American parties. That
can be depended upon.
The Urbana Citizen says:
Gov. Trimble, we understand, has ae-
scepted the nomination, and feels highly
tlsttered at the distinguished honor con-
'fered upon ,himl He is clever old gen
tleman, and worthy better fate than to be
slaughtered in political contest, merely TO
crafty the whims and vaprices of a few
sore,heatled politicians, who place a higher
estimate upon men than they do upon Pri"-
.ciplc. ~
The olentangy Gazette says cit is. not
gapprehended that the movement villa
mount to much, or that it will seriously
endauger the success Of any portionof the
ticket nominated on the 3th ult.
The Ashtabula Sentinel heads its notice
of the meeting with "Another Mouse
Born s5-3
Wayne county appears to have had two
representative at Columbus The 9thinst.
WHO they were may be learned from the
following extract from the Wooster RepaJ-
ticaa:
Col. Eason and neighbor Marchand
were all the delegates Wayne county had
at the late Know Nothing Convention in
Columbus. We understand chat they did
not vote. but lent full hand 10 cheering
and helping on the enthusiasm Of the oc,
cassion. Indeed they went into the meas
ure with heart and hands, but we believe
since their return they 6oltthe nomination
and will not support it, 1t is true they
cling to the Slave Democracy and the Sag
NIGHTS. but equally true they attended the
9th of August Convention. Other coun'
ties, we understand, were represented il
the same manner BY Sag NIGHTS.
The RspuHicon says Gov, ,Trimble may
get. 10000 votes, but it thinks be will no
gethalf that many. =. = r. - ~
