CHAsR for Governor, and some Of them be-
ing aware Of their 'low estate express
themselves In no very amiabls manner in
regard to the bargain. The Cleveland NOR
ming Express gives It's opinion In plain Eng
lish: We give below an extract from one
Of its leading sditOrislsi
WHAT SILL WE DO! 80
Mr.. Chase, contrary to our wishes and ef-
forts, was nominated for Governor BY the
Republican State Convention. Tha manner
In which the nomination was accomplished
we have stated elsewhere. With the Con-
vention we have nothing to do. we are not
bound by lis acts, nor can we ever be bound
by the acts Of any convention, however ciT-
cumstanced, unless the action recommends
itself to US by a faithful adherance to our
principles, andthe selection Of candidates OF
capacity and integrity, who may be relied
upon for the maintenance of those principles.
And when We speak of "our principles"
we mean the principles laid down by the
| American State Council which assembled in
this city last month. The platform then
adopted is our platform. To its principles
we are fully pleged, and we design mani
Testing our sincerity by ,citkholding our sgg-
rage from all men vhO array themselves agG.nsf
that platform. Do not let US be misunder-
stood. If Mr.. Chase is opposed to our Prin-
ciples, he can by no me ans receive our sup
port. Is he 90 opposed! The platform adopted
at Columbus is silent as regards American
ism. Mr.. Chase, too, is silent, so far as
public avowal is concerned. Il has been
believed and understood by the public that
he is hostile to An,ericaRism. Indeed, pri-
yate letters Of Mr.. Chase show that he has so
expressed himself. Various reasons combin-
ed to show that he isGoGtnst us. The pub.
lie have right to know how he Stands
Nobody should be. cheated. As the matter
now stands, the Foreigners or the Know
J Nothings must be cheated. We presume
Mr.. Ch so designs to "cheat" no one int
his support, and therefore we look for tul
exposition Of his pieps1 on the great question
which has within short twelve menth revol
utionized the politics Of the nation. WheI
, this ia done, il done at all, Americans vii
. be better able to decide whether be shall re
ceive their votes.
We confess that we have strong aversion
to Chase under any circumstances. He Il
, not a man to our liking. Nor are we alon'
in this feeling. OF the outsiders at Colum
bus at least one half were hostile to Chase
: and many avowed their determination t
y withheH their uotes from him. The feeling
t in Hamilton, Ross, Fairfield, Butler. Lick
r. ing, franklin, Miami, Clark, Pickawa
and other counties, is strongly against hin'
: The Americans will hold State Con
i yention at Columbus on the 18th Of August
q at which time the party will determine wha
course il is advisable to pursue. In tn
. meantime we shall freely avow our view
' of men and measures, not forgetting that a
5 independent devotion to principles is quit
i as important as mere party success. This
d the course which we have marked out an
f shall follow, in spite of lamentations here Q
elsewhere"
