Tremendous Ant-chase Meeting
In Ciucinnat


The citizens of Cincinnati, opposed to
the election of Nj. CHAsEs held a tre-
mendous Mass Meeting. Numbering ten
or fifteen thousand.s Speeches were made
BY Col CHAmBERs, Judge JOHNSON, for.
merry Wing candidates for Governor,
DR.. NEwrcx and E. P. NORTON. As
an evidence of the sentiment of the
meeting, We insert the Preamble and
a portion of the Resolutions 81
WHEREAS, The Democratic State
Convention, of the sth of January last,
and-tbe recent Convention in Columbus,
have failed to avow or recognize p%rinci-
Piles which we believe vital to the wei
fare of the Republic and our State;
therefore,
ReSolccd, That We continue to main
tain as paramount in Importance, and
never to be ignored, the well known
principles of the American party, among
which is devotion to the Union and I'm
ceasing hostility to its enemies, be they
the nulli6ers of the South, or the Abo.
l~itionists of the North. Is
A Voice-'We don't play second i'd
die to any party."f7 s
Res0lved, That while we consider the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise as a
wanton violation of a sacred and time
honored compact, we are not from re-
sentiment or any other impulse to be Sc
dnced or driven into the support of ia
natieal men or measures. .srssE
ResoLved, That we recognize in the
first resolution of the Convention of the.
18th inst, a subtle and insidious aim at
the integrity of the National Govern
mcnt. and the sinitiatiye of Legislation
which will place the State of Ohio in an
tasonism to the Union, Z
: ReSoIUed, That the avowal made in
the resolution of the 18th inst. to labor,
assiduously not to secure the repealo of
the n ebraska and Kansas bill, but to
render it void and imperative proclaims
a mode of opposition to the laws of the
land that can be sanctioned only by ia
natics and outlaws.
ResolUed, That the proceedings and
resolutions of the Convention of the 18th
lust, aud especially in the nomination
of Hon. S, P Chase for Governor, and
the resolution to appoint a Committee to
concert measures with reference to the
Presidency, we discover a design to more
effectually organize al aggressive sec.
tional party, with which it would be de.
rilict mus as American citizens to act
or affiliate.
Resofred, That we recommend to the
friends of the American partyin Ohio,
opposed to the Candidates for Governor
now in nomination, to meet in Mass Gau-
V~ention at Columbus on-the 9th day of
August.
Does this look Ike union and barmo.
Fusion will hardly be good this
year, judging from present appearances,
Also, at the same time, came the said
dissatisfied Fusionists, further say in the
City of Columbus that the Wings at the
centre will not go for CHAsE.- The City
Hall was crowded to a perfect jam, and
the meeting organized under Wing off
GERS. Mr.: GEreEe made a long and pow
srful speech, in which he denounced Mr.
CHASE in unmeasured terms. His speech
s TO be published.
It useless for fusion papers to- deny
harmony in their ranks is impossi-
Die. The opposition to CHAsEEin- S nth
,rn Ohio, astonishes both his friends and
lis foes. It matters not whether the
9.h-of August Convention confirms his
or not, his defeat is certain.
