ton to the Nominations Made
by the Convention Of the 18th
Of July.
Without any comment Of ours, We give
the following articles from leading know
nothing and Wing papers Of this State
Let them be read by all parties. The
Cleveland Express, the leading h. N,
paper of the Reserve, says
"Do not let us be misunderstood. II Mr.,
Chase is opposed 10 our principles he can
by no means receive our support. is he so
opposed? The platform adopted at Coll
umbus IS silent as regards Americanism.-l
Indeed private letters OF Mr.. Chase show
that he has so ex pressed himself Various
reasons combined TO show he is against us.
The public have right to know how he
stands. Nobody should he cheated. As
1 the matter nov staAds the foreigner or
the know nothing must be cheated. Wei
4 presume Mr.. Chase designs to cheat no
one into his support, and therefore we look
for full AMI early exposition OF has views
on the great question which has within al
short twelve month revolutionized the poll
ties of the nation. When this is done at all,
Americans will be better able TO decide
whether be shall receive their votes.
"We confess that we have strong aver
sion to Chase under any circustances. He
is not man to our liking; nor are we alone
in this feeling. OF the outsiders at ColuEi-
bus at least one half were hostile to Chase,
and many avowed their determination to
withhold their votes from him. The feeling
in Hamiltoa, Ross, Fairfield, Butler, Licking,
Franklin, Mani. Clark, Pickaway and 9TH
er counties are strongly against him. The
, Americans will hold State Convention at
J Columbus on the 18th of August, at which
time the party will determine what course
it is advisable to pursue.
The same paperin speaking o(how it was
done, says:
"We know who nominated Chase-and
, it may be interesting to know how it was
! done. We can tell them. Fear OF dis.
ruption and deeat did one half the
work. There were many induced to vote
for Chase in Convention because it would
bind free soilers to the ticket. Threats of
: boiling had been freely thrown out by that
faction. and it had its effects. Trading
votes did the other half. Look at the vote
of our own county, for instanc-all of the
delegates voting for Chase when it was
we'll known that al least four of them were
= for Brinkerhoff when they left home! Why
was it so? A trade was made by which
Chase men were made to vote for Backus.
s'Even the Geauga delegates, three Chase
/. Free sellers yoled for Backus, an o'd hunk
? er whig. Look at tha vote of Seneca coun-
ty. The delegates whipped round in favor
! Of Chase to secure votes for Gibson, for
! State Treasurer, they were sharper than
= our delegation, for they made the trade sue.
cessful The same was true OF other dele.
! cations. We rejoice that most of them fail
p" ed to reap the reward of their treachery.-
In this manner quite number Of votes
. were secured for Chase-his friends evin-
G cling a willingness to vote for the strongest
II kind of know nothings, in order to obtaiI
votes for him. That is how it was done
and tits after the old fashion of packing con
yentions, and log rolling the people out o
Of a fair expression of their preferences"
e Again the same paper in speaking in al
: article under the head Of at Didn't VIM
