Alien TrImbIe.


The inquiry naturally arises in the mil
of every reHecting man. wha. have those
who repudiate CHAsE gained by the noml-
nation OF TRfMB1x? What doctrine does
he espouse? What position does he main /
tain to make him any more acceptable to
that class of men than CHASE? Is ALLEN
TRIMBLE Know Nothing? Has he ever
been? Has he ever manifested any sym
pathy with them lor their measures! we
submit these inquiries to the consideration
of every Intelligent tman; by pursuing them'
it win be seen how hypocritical and insIn-
cere, are the,acts and intentions oil those
who are now aspiring TO be leaders ofthe
American party; and who zealously seek
to distract the Republican party, by Lead
ing off portion of the vote from CHASE
ALLEN TRIMBLE is not Know Nothing
Iu his letter Of acceptance OF the nomina-
ton, lie says explicitly that he is not a
member of the American party; and that
the nomination was rendered HIM win
full kno0ledye on the part ofhe ConVent'on'
that he had no connexion with 1t as such.
How then could the election OF ALLEN
tTRIMBLE, fif that were even possible be
, regarded as triumph to that party, or
what win be gained by it? Will we gain
anything? mol When the American par
: ty of Ohio. desire any other candidate than
SALMON P. CHASE, they will not ask the
|; NoRroNs and SrANBERYs to choose Tor
} them; and whilst they can point with pride,
8 to such men rs FoRD and BRINKERHooF,
= and CAMPBELL, they cannot be wheedled
! and caioled into the support of ALLEN
TRrMBLE as their candidate for Governor o
d Ohio. By the support Of TRIMBLE we avei
e that nothing can be gained to advance the
e character and interests of the American
g. party, or effect anything for the good o
the State which we do not render doubl!
