loud cheers.1 AT that day he worked shoulder
TO shoulder with Salmon p. Chase In that cause.
lie was not then green young man he an
educated man, and came Of good family. But
Mr.. Chases claims were not recognised by the
Wing party that Is, he did not receive nominal
ton for any office. Consequently Mr. Chase went
over TO the Abotionst party. He had right TO
do 50, if he went from the result of his sober con-
victons. He changed nevertheless When Mr..
Chase left the Wing party, he began beating up
for volunteers every man and boy was drummed
into his camp. He had a right to do SO, and
have right to refuse TO vote for him, aud intend
to exercise II.
And, after getting them TO follow in his wake,
he led them up to Columbus, and sold them like
sheep in the market to the highest bdder--to the
Democratic party--for seat in the Senate have
no confidence in such man / love and admire
him personally, but his extreme love for power
and place he permits to get the advantage of his
better nature-and he who once acts thus for po-
litical preferment will do II again for whatever
party is the most powerfu-for either chair In the
Senate or White House.
Mr.. johnson remarked, that Mr.. Chase's c iurse
in the Senate was like almost eyerybody's else
he neither spoke nor acted better than other peo-
pie He thought Scott Harrison equally as good a
man as Chase, He was in favor of no man who
drove political bargains for the purpose of acquir-
ing power and place-they both should be the free
gift of the people. He then spoke of the mode
and manner Of Mr. Chase's nomination--it was
well known, he said, that the Convention was
packed Convention, and was not fair expression Of
public sentiment-and that, although Hamilton
county gave majority for him in that Convention,
it was more than she would do on the day Of cleo
ton.
But who he asked, were the men who nomina-
ted Chaser Why, Joshua r. Giddings and old
Ned Smith, and few others who make war upon
the Union of our countrywide wish to dissolve
the Union, who are for neck or nothing-two old
arch humbugs, Joshua r. Giddings and the Rev.
Ned Smith--the one at the head, and the other
dangling at the TAIL they came to the Convention
as dictatorial as the Pope Of Rome, and claimed
the lions share. He then related the fable Of the
Lion and the other beasts grand hunting excursion,
and thought the lions conduct upon that memoir
able occasion, but counterpart of the conduct of
Giddngs and Smith at the Convention on the 18th;
this was one reason why he couldn't 90 for Salmon
| P. Chase he had not been nominated by the
people.
| Another reason he could not swallow the nom
nation was that the organ Of Giddings repudiated
Jacob Brinkerhoff before the Convention was held
| and set up Chase and now he would inquire why
this was done. He would state the reason. Brink
erhof was Know-Nothing, and every member Of
that Order according to the creed, is bound to
| support the Union laJ all uaZarQb. 1nTe6 cneerS
were given for Brinkerhoff.
The reason, therefore, the speaker continued,
why preference was given to Chase, was because it
was thought he would be reckless of the Union Of
the States If Brinkerhoff was put down because
| he was in favor of the Union of the States for
what was Mr.. Chase put up9
| He then spoke of the repeal of the Missouri COM
promise, and expressed himself decidedly in favor
of the repeal of the Nebraska and Kansas bil-so
| Al
Territories. He then came down on notification in
general--quoted Milton, Better to reign in hell
than serve in Heaven"
After speech from DR.. Newton, the entire set
of resolutions was adopted with hardly dissent
ing vote.
Great Anti Chase Meeting at Columbus,
Ohio.
On the leth of July the City Hall was filed to
overlooking with large number of the citizens of
the Capital City, who were opposed to the no'ni-
nation of Salmon p. Chase for Governor, and to
the present administration" Such was the Ian
guage of the call; and right strongly was it re.
sponded to by the ffeemen Of that city.
B. 7. Martin, Esq, the City Solicitor, presided
| A correspondent of the Cleveland Express thus
reports the proceedings:
| Gen. ]. II. Seiger addressed the meeting for
more than two hours in speech of burning clo
| quence, in which he made post morten exam-
nation of Mr.. Chase, and showed up his truo char
acter from old files Of the Ohio State Journal and
then held up the consistency of that paper to the
admiring gaze for Its present support of the same
Salmon p Chase, for Governor, whom they had
in lS49, denounced as one of the most corrupt
scoundrels in existence.
Gen. Seiger recently represented the Pickaway
district in the State Senate, and has stood fore
most among Wing stumpers in Central Ohio. His
appeals to the "0ld Wing Guard" were very pow.
erful.
His speech throughout was Of the most telling
kind and at its close resolutions we're unanimously
adopted declaring Salmon P. Chase, at heart
disunionist and political demagogue destitute Of
honorable political principle and unworthy Of the
support of the honest electors of Ohio.
The anti-Nebraska men held meeting the night
before, which was not near as well attended and
very faS from being as enthusiastic.
The old line Wings here will not vote for Chase.

was received with general reclamation by the i'm
mense auditory who were at the City Hall, and is
the subject of congratulation among the business
classes of the citizens.
