Mr.. Chase's Remarks.

On receiving the nomination for Governor,
at the Republican Convention Of the l3th
inst.
Mr.. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN or THE
| CONVENT oN:-I know full well that it is be-.
cause Of no special merit or worth of mine
that you have honored me with the nomina-
tion which has been announced to me by
your committee, and ii Is this knowledge
which exceedingly enhanced my sense o: the
honor conferred, and of the respons; bilties
which it imposes Ohio has many citizens
better fitted for the position in which you
would place me, and better qualified to bear
aloft the stlndard of Freedom during the ap.
preaching political contest. Conceding,
however, as | do better judgments, yield
to 20 one in sincere devotion to the great
principles which you have this day promul-
gated.
On many public questions, not low directly
in issue, have had occasion heretofore to ex-
press my opinions in various forms. Those
opinions remain of record and unchanged.
On the great issue now before the people,
my opinions are expressed in the platform you
have this dav adopted.
The independence and sovereignty Of the
State, in her legislation and judiciary, must
be asserted and maintained
The spread of Slavery, under all circum-
stances, and at all times, must be inhexible
resisted.
Slavery in the Territories must be prohibit
ted by law.
On this point there is the most pressing
need of union and resolution. Kansas must
be save from Slavery by the voters of the
Free States.
was my fortune 10 bear some humble
part in the memorable struggle which issued
in the repel of the Missouri prohibiton.-
Upon that occasion, though among the most
determined opponent OF the Compromise of
1850, l was ready to stand shoulder to shoul-
der with the supporters of those Compromises
now Justly incensed by th.t violation Of p!igh-
ted faith, for the redress Of the last and great
est wrong.
In this spirit am prepared to act to day.
Side by side with all men who are willing
to unite with me for the defence of Ere edom,
l am ready to contend to the last for tn,
rescue of the Territories from Slavery.
would not do injustice to the slave
States. All rights guaranteed to them by the
constitution should be fully ard cheerfuly
conceded. Whatever can be constitutionally
done by the nation National Legislature to
promote their progress and improvement,
should be unhesitatingly and ungrudgngly
done.
We should insist only that, outside of slave
States, we shall not be responsible for the
maintenance of slavery; and that the just and
Institutional influence of the General Gov
ernment shall be exerted on the side OF Lib
cry.
The question OF Slavery in the States may
then be safely l,f, to the States themselves.
The Humanity, the Justice, the wi, dom ef
the people will, l trust, So dispose OF it, that
in the not fur distant future day will come
when the Sun, in all his course over our
broad land, from the Atlantic to the Pacific
wave, shall not behold slave.

LIBERALITY.-Our avowal last week,

LIBERALITY. Our avowal last week, in
reference to our being without copy of the State
Auditors report has opened the heart of "a friend
who sent us through the P. q. two copies OF "ex-
tracts from the report Of the Auditor of State."-
We SEQ no necessity for his going to all the trouble
he did about these Documents we pass his office
at least three times every day, and had spoken to
him two or three times the very day he sent us the
reports Examining ;the document, however, we
find it to be like the play of Hamlet, with Hamle
omitted as the most striking portions are left out
From another source we have obtained a copy o
the reportwithou any abrdgcment for electioneerine
purposes.

True Americanism I'm Massachusetts,.

A correspondent in Boston has furnished us with
a copy Of proclamation, embodying platform
and principles for the guidance Of the American
party In that State, issued by committee Of Ma
tive-born Americans" Of Boston, who adhere to the
old organization. The document Is signed BY Au-
gustus Lathrop, Daniel Warren, James T. Farwell,
James Quinn, Calvin Ewings Edward w. Hinks,
and John Mullin.
They proclaim that the party known in Msssa-
chusetts as the Know Nothing organization" has
now departed from the pursuit Of the objects for
which il was created, and entered upon the sup
port and propagation Of other sentiments and is
sues and that
ruins and In spite ofthe opposition Of the Wing and
Democratic parties cannot be held in any manner
responsible for the obnoxious acts or violated
pledges Of either; that the systematic agitation Of
the slavery question by those parties has elevated
sectional hostility into positive element Of politi-
cal power and brought our institutions into peril
that as experience has shown II impossible to re-
concile opinions so extreme as those which sepa-
rate the disputants, each State must possess the
undsputed right 70 pass upon its local institutions
